Here is a space where I write personal and opinion pieces on things that interest me. This could be on sex, sexuality, feminism, relationships, mental health or just general advice I wish someone had given me. The pieces won’t necessarily be on the sex toy or adult fiction world.
I hope you find what I say interesting or at least informative. I speak only from my own experiences, and of how I see the world through my queer white cis-female able bodied eyes. I think it is always important to be aware of the position of whatever it is you’re reading, and to know I don’t speak for anyone but me. Enjoy reading!
