Ice Cream Sundaes (or, introducing vanilla to other flavours)

Rather than a single scoop of ice cream, I prefer a sundae. Let’s start with an indulgent, rich flavour such as chocolate or caramel, before layering creamy, complex vanilla on top. It’s best to be generous with your scoops; fill the glass until little drips begin to crawl over the rim. Then ladle on something fruity, whether it’s fresh chunks or cooked slowly until it’s […]

Chemistry Lessons

CW: body dysmorphia A guy just ended things with me by saying the chemistry wasn’t right. By telling me that he had liked me more when we were messaging, than in person. I wish I could say that it was the first time someone had said that to me, that there was no “spark”, but I can’t. It’s not even the second time this year […]

The Job Interview

It was dark when I arrived at the office, which was unremarkable even within the mundanity of the industrial estate. The receptionist had long gone home, but the front door had been left open for me. Harsh overhead lighting clicked on with every step I took across the grey lobby and up the stairs.  He was waiting for me at the top, arms folded, the […]

Pretty Dicks

There is a bare, hard dick in front of my face right now. It’s there for a very specific reason; I’m going to study it.  Recently I was asked, ‘What makes a dick pretty?’. The short answer; everything. Dicks are beautiful to me. They are sculptural, as if hewn and modelled; each one is perfectly designed, whether deliberately or by coincidence. They are structural, both […]

A Hairy Subject; growing my pubes

Lately, my favourite thing has been to slowly stroke my fingers through the hair around my cunt. I do it almost absent-mindedly, when I’m falling asleep, or in the shower, or lying on the sofa. It’s at that length where each strand feels like buttery silk. Some are straight, some curl into my skin, but all are soft. The softest parts are the slightly longer […]

The Best Things About Polyamory

“So, what’s the big deal with polyamory, anyway?”  The freedom to be myself  I have the freedom to surround myself with the relationships I want to, the ones that work for me. I have the freedom to explore whatever I need to. I have the freedom to form bonds with those who enhance me. I have the freedom to become more independent and not rely […]

Dear Lover: a love letter

Write me a love letter. Write it in pen, so you commit to every word. Write it on the thickest, most deliciously tactile paper you can afford. Write it and seal it away in an envelope for my eyes only.  Address it to me in our usual way: call me your dove, or your piglet, or your sweetheart, or simply yours. For I am, yours.  […]

Beaching Off; a seaside wank

One of the reasons I adore this beach is because of how quiet it becomes at dusk. The fair-weather sun-worshippers pack up their inflatables and mini tents and fractious children and slip away for chips somewhere else. The few lifeguards pack up and clock off. The boat trippers turn off their cheery soundtrack, to the landscape’s relief. Paddle boards are deflated and kayaks are lifted […]

Swiping Right: Who I Date

The continual swipe left is giving me RSI. One after the other, faces rush past, faces that don’t seize or intrigue or attract me. They appear like ghosts; fleeting and morbid. The ghosts of future bad choices, of heartbreak, of misplaced humour, and of inevitable ghosting. Each and every one makes me feel a mixture of guilt and self-disgust, with a sprinkle of hope that […]

Creative Wanking

Gripping the little leather paddle, I gave my swollen clit 10 rapid slaps. A pause for an exhale, and then 10 more, firmer this time. Opening my bedside drawer with one hand, while the paddle rested on my cunt, I reached blindly for a dildo and triumphantly pulled out the 6 inches of silicone. A couple more slaps, before I slid the dildo into my […]
