2021 was a rough year for me as far as blogging went. While I finished over 25+ reviews, I only wrote three articles outside of that. But beyond blogging, I was also going through a lot. From starting a new in-person job, a couple of breakups that I had no planning for, and getting my mental health under control. I was busy, so it is not surprising that my writing took a little bit of a back seat. This year,…
Over the years I have been asked, why do I write sex toy reviews? There are so many things out there. Sex toy reviews are very niche compared to other categories because of the taboo. There are those that find it very frivolous or even undeeded. It is a sex toy? Why care what it can and cannot do? When in reality there are so many reasons why! One of my biggest reasons for this is a time when I…

Some of the milestones that I went through getting me to the place I am in today. 2010 At the start of the decade, I was three years…
It is a trope that you often see in shows. Someone in the main cast gets a chance to interact with someone who had an impact on their lives. Though up until now they were just a distant thing. Now getting to meet them in real life, they come to find out. They are nothing like the image they had built up in their heads. But tropes, come from somewhere. In today’s world. I am finding it to be an…
If pleasure is for all bodies, kink certainly is on that list of where many people find their pleasure. Though when you aren’t able bodied you have to change up how you make it work.

My advice is very general because you know your body…
One could describe me as impulsive. Even more so when it comes to my emotions and my feelings for people. It is something I try often to curb. Though a few times it has gotten the better of me one could say. Sometimes it is moving. Other times it is getting into a relationship. Though, there was this one time. It was a tattoo. I made the fabled choice of getting a tattoo, in the heat of the moment. A…
When I tell people that I live in a house with seven other people, their eyes normally get wide. “Seven? How do you make it work?” They ask. Even growing up there were six people between my parents, brother, and cousins who came to live with us. This is a chaos that I am no stranger to, and have found I actually thrive in. I remember when I would live with just one other person it was actually harder, not just…

I spent five years in an abusive relationship. It slowly and steadily grew worse. Taking an increasingly larger toll on my physical and emotional well-being, until I finally managed to escape. It left me with scars from physical, mental and sexual abuse. The Aftermath After I…
