Earlier in the semester, Alex Korba, a writer for the American University literary magazine, asked if she could interview me regarding my 50 Shades trilogy class. Alex's article is available in the latest issue of AmWord Magazine and reprinted with permission below. (Fellow bloggers might find the last paragraph to be especially relevant!) Hope you enjoy the piece […]
I’ve never been one to shy away from controversial topics or criticism. It thus seemed appropriate to acknowledge and respond to some comments that have appeared below the USA TODAY College, Daily Beast and Daily Mail UK articles about my upcoming class on The 50 Shades Trilogy.

It happens to 50% of breast cancer patients under the age of 35 who require chemotherapy. For those breast cancer patients who need chemo and are 35-40, the statistics go up to 80%. If you are over 45, have breast cancer and receive chemotherapy, it’s almost guaranteed to happen to you! “What are you talking […]
There was once a simpler time for intimate relationships. When your communication is based entirely on face-to-face conversations, dates, and truly getting to know and trust one another, two people have the ability to really connect.

It seemed like the perfect time to finally write down my crazy dating and steamy sex stories. I blogged anonymously since I had planned to […]
Last week, I received three questions on Formspring related to having an orgasm. (Is there something in the air?) I’ll answer those questions in the coming weeks, but the interest in the topic has me thinking that we need to reframe the discussion. Where’s the focus on intimacy? Why don’t we educate women how to […]

Rechargeable and waterproof (few toys are both); 4. Versatile for guys, girls and couples; and/or 5. Can stimulate you clitorally, vaginally or anally? If […]
A Sex Toy Haiku: Three balls. Two motors. Magic. In this Fun Factory toy The YOOO. Nirvana? I’ve written about my love of Fun Factory before. The company is internationally renowned for its quality products, innovative design and commitment to using only body-friendly materials. The YOOO (pronounced like “You”) is a recent addition to Fun […]
In 2011, Best Boy and I went from seeing each other twice a week to once a week. (I wasn't exactly sure why that was, but I didn't have a problem with it either.) In February, I saw him shortly before I headed off to the beach with Philly Matt and my friends. Th events […]
