Streaky Mirror New Year
A few weeks ago I went on a completely compulsive cleaning binge; not one inch of the house was spared. I mopped floors, I washed dishes, I dusted dressers, I scrubbed toilets, all of it, and once I finished, I sat down on the couch and let out a long, satisfied sigh. Later when I… Continue reading

My First Massage (Adventures at the Spa: Part 2)
There I was, face down on a table, left butt cheek out, thinking about high school… Wait, I should back up a bit.

Classic Love Scenes I Couldn’t Be Part Of
When I was little, love to me was like the locked room of my grandparents’ house. I always knew one day I’d have to break down the door with savage curiosity, but until then I’d just sit in the living room watching Growing Pains and eating cottage cheese. As I grew up, I watched a… Continue reading
