Hello kinksters - We talk about Pride Month, but I’m really getting into it this year! Last weekend, I attended Pride celebrations in my very rural northern California town. There were several bands, lots of helpful support and information, and my town’s first ever – totally packed!!! – drag celebration in our downtown movie theater. It was a very long day (and night), and I left feeling very grateful for it. I love the huge celebrations we have in San Francisco, but there is something very...

Hello kinksters - As I write this, I’m sitting in my favorite “office away from home,” a little coffee zone in a tourist spot on the Sonoma coast about a half-hour from my home. While it’s not that far from me, it offers a completely different vantage point: a vast expanse of tranquil ocean stretching far past the horizon. I sit here, sip on tropical flavored tea, and let my world open up a bit. Finding small ways to add novelty to everyday experience is good for us! It allows us to slow...

Do you ever wish you could just start the year over with your new year's resolutions, partway through the year? I know that I do!

Maybe centering play and kink was a new year's resolution you never quite got around to. We get it. But if you'd like to take another shot at it, we have some opportunities for...

Hello kinksters - One of the earliest lessons I learned is that world confidence and sexual confidence are inseparable. But at first I got it all backwards. I had this idea that to be a great dominant or sexually-awakened person, I’d first have to gain lots of confidence in the world. And of course, that doesn’t hurt. But I learned something unexpected and life-changing as I dove into the world of polyamory and kink. I discovered that finding the confidence to unearth and ask for my own...
