Jaded?

Oh dear. Naughty me, I’ve slept with a client again. But I guess if I’m back to playing the game I find easiest to play, that was bound to happen sooner or later. Still how and why and where is not really the tale I want or have to tell…   It’s more about the […]

Fair to Middling

So, I’m thinking. And I’m in bed. And someone nice is asleep beside me who isn’t thinking. She’s possibly dreaming though.  I like her soft sighs; the night’s own tick tock in a quiet room of only digitally displayed hours beside a dormant bedside lamp… Well this is nothing new.

Let’s Talk About Sex

There, that got your attention didn’t it? Works every time… How we talk about it though… well now, that opens up a whole new can of worms and other such innuendos. “Ohh Maaatron!” gags aside however, there are interesting differences between ages, genders and cultures, when it comes to discussions on this increasingly prevalent subject, […]

What are younger men queuing up for?

‘Younger men are queuing up for a cougar to love’ says today’s Independent on Sunday (22.8.10) but the middle-aged American man, Rich Gosse, who has apparently spent 15 years ‘championing older women’ still falls into the age-old, male-dominated society mindset of concluding that women ‘prefer older men’.

Honey, I’m Home!

Yes, I’m back. I always say that I won’t be, that I’m going to do grown-up dating, get a sensible boyfriend and have a ‘proper relationship’. But really I should just sit down and have a cup of tea until the feeling passes… Recently I wondered why it is that I even bother to say […]
