You dabblers in lesbian sex should check out the guidelines for my next anthology. This one calls for stories with some basis in reality, so some experience is required. My Call for Submissions is on my blog (among other places.) The title will be Wild Girls, Wild Nights: True Lesbian Sex Stories. sacchi-green.blogspot. com

While you're there, you can browse through some free stories I've posted, and the introductions to my other anthologies. Fantasize away!

You'd LOVE the cup then! Less changing than tampons, no leaks, eco-friendly and CHEAPER!

Tampons are uncomfortable. I know everyone's like, "you're not doing it right, then..." I have tried every type of tampon there is. I have tried the little teen ones, too. My doctor literally made me put one in in front of her, to see if I was doing it right when I first complained about this, and she can't figure out why I feel it so intensely. So pads! So very, very nice.

anybody,man or woman who has to knock someone down so they feel good about themselves isn't worth the second thought it takes to address them. Always keep the power! We need to stop being the moth and start being the flame. I never take it as a personal offense that someone isn't attracted to my brand of sexy, one, because I know that I'm not attracted to some other brands my damn self, and two, because there are enough lovely people out there that are. So, I just wish them love and get on with my life. Nobody can steal my joy. Don't let them take yours either.

it's a silicone bell-shaped alternative menstrual hygiene aid.

you insert it and it suction-cups to your cervix and collects the blood like a cup would. empty it a couple times a day, boil between periods, keep for up to 10 years. it's amazing.

Wow! Your call for submissions sounds really interesting, I look forward to this being released

(even though I've opted for MM books when the club has focused on FF before... the realism sounds really intriguing.)

That's wonderful! We need to train ourselves to remember these things.

I've been falling behind here on helloes and goodbyes! Trying to write too much myself. But I have two more bits from Lori that I really want to post, so here they are before anybody else needs to leave.


The reaction to it has been awesome. I think people are surprised how deep they have to go but when they do, the results are nothing short of life-altering. Almost immediately, you will find that you are happier and feeling more positive about life in general, and that goes a long way in feeling confident and sexy about yourself.

What's really unique about the Stiletto U program is that it is based on true sensuality--that is living through your five God-given senses, and learning about who you are at your authentic core through them. It's so cool and such a positive and beautiful way to live life. I truly believe that true masters learn through joy, and living sensuously is the ticket!

I would probably be all over that if I was not a college student. I can't do laundry every day to clean those up. It'd take a lot of time away from homework/practicing/at tempting to find sleepy time.

pads do the same for me. but the cup is great because you only need one, you always have it with you, you dont have to throw stuff away, and you're not drying out your vag or putting shitty chemicals in it.

did you know cotton is the #1 crop for pesticide use? and you put that in one of the most sensitive, absorbent places in your body! no thanks!


also, the cup doesn't give you that annoying pee-covered string on your leg or string-up-the-ass bit. :0

Can you feel that it is there. Thats what I hate about both pads and tampons.

I think the hard part is the "how deep they have to go". It can be scary there.
