My latest essay: "Are New Friends More Exciting Than Old Friends?"

My latest essay The Frisky on new friends vs. old friends. Didn't quote it but will always remember Girl Scouts and "Make new friends but keep the old/one is silver and the other gold." What do you think? Is there a friendship equivalent of "new relationship energy?" At the same time, my friend K. was just in town from England. We met in 1998, via a Sleater Kinney mailing list, and have…See More

My essay "Recovery Envy" up at The Fix

I wrote my first essay for The Fix, called "Recovery Envy," which may sound facetious in a soundbite but if you read the essay, I hope it’s clear that I don’t mean it facetiously at all. I have the utmost respect for those in recovery, and anyone striving to improve their lives, by whatever means. If you like it, I’d really, really appreciate it if you passed it…See More

The Guardian UK piece on sexual fantasies and interveiw at OPEN

I wrote <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2011/oct/26/fantasies-rihanna-media-lesbian">"Our fantasies say less about us than we think" (their title) for The Guardian's Comment is Free.

Hoping to have more pieces to share with you soon.The problem with assuming that a given sexual fantasy (or appreciation of erotic books or films about a given subject) means…See More

PS whenever I type 'xxx' Ning asks me if I'm sure I want to do that as it may get me blocked by spam. What if I say orgasm? Wet? Sex? Let's see how many warnings I get. I am going to report back as soon I as I hit send.
