Relationships, as my last few posts have pointed out, can be hard and confusing. There is no one true method on how they are supposed to work. This is because no two people are the same. We perceive situations differently, we learn from our lessons in our own way, and we react, based on those … Continue reading The Importance of Self Care
Non-Monogamy Relationship Styles
With speaking about relationships, the last couple weeks, I felt it appropriate to end this week talking about non-monogamy. This was a decision based on some of what I had been writing combined with ideas friends have proposed and a couple comments on a singular post. I want to make it clear that I do … Continue reading Non-Monogamy Relationship Styles
Can You Have Intimacy In Casual Relationships?

Have Relationships Evolved?
Have Relationships Evolved? Are relationships, as we used to know them, a thing of the past?

A lot of reasons really, like survivor's guilt which lead to apathy in general and finished up with lack of interest in the BS that guys seem to give on every app and dating site out there. I got back … Continue reading Have You Met These Guys?

Where The Wild Heart Roams

A new friend of mine suggested I write about her and her lifestyle, never wanting to turn down … Continue reading Where The Wild Heart Roams
LGBT and Sex Ed
We are fully aware that history shows LGBT are more sexually active at a young age. It also shows that gay men have been fairly indiscriminate in the past, when it comes to sexual conquests. Lesbians have always been joked about bringing a U-Haul to the first date, implying that they are moving in shortly … Continue reading LGBT and Sex Ed
