This was no ordinary, dreary February Monday. It was a Monday in London and a meeting with my sister in smut Posy Churchgate. I was so looking forward to this as we hadn’t met in person for many months, life, as so often, getting in the way. And we were starting off with champagne at St Pancras as we often do, because it is my … Continue reading WOMEN IN REVOLT
The gender wars roll on, and it is so tiring. But there are occasional brighter moments. The infighting amongst the gender critical sorority sometimes bubbles up and rises to the surface, to be seen in its full, inglorious ugliness. This happened last weekend with GCs turning on Janice Turner, a long serving transphobic journalist who writes for The Times, after the publication of her interview … Continue reading TRANS WOMEN, STRAW MEN
I sometimes reel in shock at how quickly time passes. It is now 2024 and I am now 62. I think, however, that I am a young 62, I work out five times a week, I run, I have sex from time to time with a lovely older man. He is gentle and tender, which I like, I need gentleness. The days when I liked … Continue reading TAMARA
Some things you discover by accident. It was in August that I went to London, mainly to return library books as the end of my university course drew near. I had also planned to meet a friend, but she was unwell and unable to make it. This left me with a day without firm plans. So I gravitated to Brick Lane in search of a … Continue reading Xenofeminism
I am a pyjama domme. Well not quite actually. That would be a bit cynical, like the phone sex workers who take calls in bed with a cuppa and a plate of biscuits as they let their hapless clients believe they are in slinky lingerie and PVC gloves (or whatever) as they tell them the lovely things they are going to do to them. Or … Continue reading Hanging On The Telephone
FUCK SUBLIMATION! October is Locktober, the occasion for many submissive men to make a month long sacrifice to their dominants. (not all of them women). I guess some of those subs dream of long term chastity but find it impractical or just want a taster. Joy was drinking cocktails with her friend Margaret. Margaret had brought her sub along, a very polite and well spoken … Continue reading FUCK SUBLIMATION!
Do women, that is to say, cisgendered (or, if you will, biologically female) women accept transwomen as women? Do they accept the slogan “transwomen are women” without further qualification? The answer is not straightforward and this lack of straightforwardness sheds light on the vexed issue of what being trans means, both for trans people themselves, and those they encounter. My own experience suggests many … Continue reading THE HANDMAIDENS
I am starting this roundup on Monday 3rd July. Yesterday England lost the Second Test and, almost certainly, the Ashes in rather controversial circumstances and there were remarkable scenes in the Long Room which resulted in three MCC members, all with Bufton Tufton like names, being suspended pending an investigation into alleged inappropriate conduct towards the Australian players. The penalty if they are found guilty … Continue reading JULY ROUNDUP
In March 2013 I was new to blogging and had yet to meet the amazing and inspiring members of the blogging community, some of whom have become friends. I had heard about a sex blogging conference called Eroticon, to be held in Bristol, but had decided not to go. I spent a miserable weekend at my laptop reading all the live tweets and just wishing … Continue reading MONTHLY ROUNDUP FOR JUNE
Ten years ago I wrote a piece for a now defunct blog on the history of the brothels in some Nazi concentration camps. The blog no longer exists and, two new laptops later, I don’t have a copy of it, so I can’t link to it. Unusually for my posts it attracted a lot of attention and much criticism, some of it intemperate, some of … Continue reading RAPE, GENDER, GENOCIDE
