Be My Valentine
Written By: Kat Over the past decade, hating on Valentines Day has become about as trendy and ironic as loving bacon. I loathe retail holidays as much as the next guy– the alarming red and pink all-up-in-your-face for a month beforehand– so I’ve definitely been on that V.Day hate train, myself.

Swallowing That Pill
Written By: Kat For about 7 years, every day of my life (well, okay, most days, because I was the worst at it) I ingested a tiny little pill. A round little pill from a 28 day pack, the kind of pack nearly 80% of women in the US have had in their bag at … Read more

Right There. Like That.
Written By Miss Ashley D I feel like explaining an orgasm is in fact a waste of time. Scientifically it all makes perfect sense. But who cares? I want to put it in words that make people blush. Words that make ‘em tingle, just a little, below the belt. Turn their heads. Half smile. There … Read more
A La Mode
Written By Miss Ashley D With pale moonlight cascading gracefully across the faux wood kitchen floor I found myself tugging gingerly on the handle.
