Frustrations with our culture today

Bigotry of any kind gets my goat.  I don’t get it.  Even when I’ve caught myself doing it.  What is wrong with people living their own goddamn lives?!?  I mean really?
I’m not just talking about the hub-bub about gay marriage.  I’m talking about the kids who get picked on for being shy or the goth kid who loves black.  Not being Christian, being too Christian.  Being Pagan, Muslim, Jewish.  You see where I’m going?  Who the fuck decided different was bad?  Especially in this country.  A country founded on ideals of freedom, whether you bow down to God or Allah.  Actually I know it was more like whether you went to Catholic mass or Protestant Sunday service.  But the point is that the founding fathers wanted us to be free from the strictures of the Old Country(tm).
I am sick and fucking tired of being judged because I’m a woman who likes sex and wants to talk about it.  I’m tired of feeling like I can’t be balls to the wall passionate about my vocation in public for fear of offending someone for talking about a natural and beautiful part of life.  I hate feeling like liking sex stigmatizes me.  In the early days of religion, there where temple prostitutes, even in the Hebrew faith.  Sex was one way of communing with your god, then.  It was a blessing and seen as a holy experience.  Many religions view sex as being a transcendent part of life and one of the ways we can know that Deity loves us, because why else would we enjoy it so much.
Why is it so wrong to try and bring this point of view to the modern world?  Why does sexual empowerment threaten the status quo so much?  I think these are things I will never understand…

Expert's Guide to Pegging review

Pegging (for those unfamiliar with the word) is the term used for a female bodied person penetrating a male bodied person anally using a strap-on dildo. Tristan Taormino's Expert's Guide to Pegging was her Valentine's gift to the world this year, and I just love how she introduces the topic, and how she talks about the fears people may have about pegging.  The anatomy lesson is great and full of info that is useful for both beginners and more experienced players.  I love how much Tristan loves her topic.  It’s one of the things that makes her videos so much fun to watch.  The first things she goes over are some of the basics like hygiene and lube, with really good information about both these topics starting the ball rolling. Tristan gives lots of detail on the types and stages of warm-up are great for anal play, taking us from oral stimulation through using more and more fingers, up through different types of toys that will help get the butt ready for pegging.

Rape and the GOP

I just posted this on Facebook and thought I'd share it here, too.  "I have no indignation left.  No surprise.  It's all been drained from me as the blows keep coming.  There is no violation of another person's body that is ok!  If there is no consent, then it is rape.  And I'm not talking about rape play or other consensual non-consent kinks.  Those are a completely different animal.  I'm talking about date rape, stranger rape, she's-my-wife-and-therefore-owes-me-sex-when-I-want-it rape.  I'm talking about removing someone's sense of self so you can have power over them, rape.  None of these are ever ok. The so called Christian leaders who espouse these vile positions are performing a different kind of rape: the rape of our rights.  They are violating every single person in this country, be they female, male, genderqueer, trans, or cis.  They are violating our individual choices and they are ignoring our boundaries.  It is time for all of us to s

Spell Bound Review

Waking the Witch saw Savannah heading out on her own as a detective for the first time.  She became emotionally attached to one of the people she met during the case she was working, a little girl named Kayla. The last thing Savannah does in the book is think that she'd happily give up her powers to help Kayla, crashing asleep and waking up to find that her powers were indeed gone. Spell Bound picks up with the thoughts of one watching Savannah.  Someone who can do just what she "wished" in that moment.  All we get to know about him is that he has some agenda and Savannah is at the heart of it. As much as Savannah grew in the last book, I'd say this is her real coming of age story.  She has always been the most powerful witch on the block, and she knew that all too well.  Her contempt for humans and for other witches less powerful than her was always in her thoughts.  She never tried to learn how to do things the normal way, because she knew she had her powers to
