…I love sex. A lot. But maybe not in the ways you think. I love sex because it’s so versatile, it’s seemingly everywhere and yet so many of us are looking for it, begging for it, confused about it. It can take us so long to figure out who we are sexually, what we want, and then comes the hurdle of finding someone (or someones) to share that with. And not just share, but exchange, know, submit, get lost in, transform. The best sex I’ve had is not just the kind that leaves my body aching for more, but that changes me from who I was before. I was just reading an article about CAKE by Virginia Vitzthum where she posits that instead of looking to outside entertainment for sexual empowerment, we should look to having sex, to the power of experience to teach us and pleasure us.
…So I’m not going to stop writing about sex. Or thinking about it. Or, despite a half-joking New Year’ s Resolution to myself, doing it. I can’t stay away. I’m horny for more because there is always more. And just as I’ve learned not to make predictions or presumptions about my own sex life, I can’t make any about the future of my sex writing career. I cover lots of other topics, too, but sex blasts everything open. I think sometimes people think maybe I’m “just into spanking,” but the truth is, I’m so open. I want to find out what turns me on that I would never know about until the right person came along. I want to know if being pregnant will put me in the mood (in a few years). I want to know what it’s like to go farther than I ever have. But I also still want to hear from you. Yes, all the “you”s who’ve contacted me over the last two-plus years, from such farflung places as Turkey and Israel and even Wisconsin. I’m so much the better for knowing your takes on things, for reading even when I can’t offer any advice. For knowing where I’ve gone astray and where I’ve fed the kernel of an idea that made you look at a given sexual topic in a new way. (more…)
