Is This You?

If your love story is along the lines of “boy meets girl, they fall in love, decide to be exclusive and live happily ever after,” this site will be useful for you. But around here, the love stories also go like this:

Boy meets girl and they have kinky wooden doll sex?

  • Boy meets girl and they live three thousand miles apart.
  • Boy meets girl. She’s 10 years older than he is.
  • Girl meets girl. She didn’t expect that to happen!
  • Boy and girl meet girl. Confusion and happiness ensue.
  • Girl has baby, then meets boy (or girl).
  • Boy meets girl. It turns out they’re both kinky.
  • Straight boy meets gay boy. Bromance?
  • Girl has career and is 35. Now what?
  • And so on…

Basically, if Pat Robertson or Glenn Beck has something negative to say about the way you love or form relationships, then you’re in the right place.

In addition to talking about relationships and love (a lot!), I sometimes talk about sex here. Not raunchy, detail-filled, personal stories (usually). Also not flowery, romantical, love-makin’ stories (not my thing). Really, it’s more about the complexity and humor of trying to navigate sometimes uncooperative bodies in attempts to experience pleasure. That’s a complicated topic, and worth spending some time on.

Socks are great.

It can also get a little queer here at times. Most of the stuff I talk about applies to all orientations, but sometimes gay, queer, bisexual, or transgender perspectives can be really useful for pointing out common-but-untrue assumptions we have about relationships and sex. Most of us are carrying around boatloads of those assumptions, so when someone’s got something figured out, I want to make sure everyone knows about it.

But, if you want to make sure you never, ever read about multiple people of various genders having relationships or sex with each other, you might be better off, I don’t know, buying socks. (I like socks.)

Also, I curse sometimes, dammit. :)

IMPORTANT!
I work with, and write for, people who like each other. I’m not a therapist, and I only rarely will agree to mediation. Mostly, this site is for people who genuinely like each other and want to make their relationships (unconventional or not) uncommonly excellent. Or excellently uncommon. Whatever that is to you.

Thanks for reading. I’m excited you’re here.
