Being human is rarely clear-cut. My husband moved out of the house a [...]

I started playing with my ex, Max, 3 years ago this month.  With everything that’s happened since then, it seems like so much longer, because I’ve learned, and changed, so much.  Back then, I had never played with anyone, and I didn’t know about places like fetlife and alt.com, and so I didn’t have anyone [...]

The Hardest Thing

The hardest thing is not what happened, it’s trying to come up with an answer to “why?” When you ask me to justify what’s happened and the choices I’ve made in the aftermath, I hear, “I don’t believe you” and it feels like a hard punch to the gut. Please, reconsider. Think of the pain [...]

Starshine

Touch
