She Plays, He Plays

I have a bachelor’s degree in English and a master’s in creative writing and … fuck it. If you're out on the town and you happen to run into Susan (wife) and me, there are only two things you need to know. First, we're already a few drinks into a bottle of good whiskey. Second, Pashmina (Susan's elegantly slutty alter ego) probably isn't wearing any panties under that mini skirt. If you'd like to join us, order a round of Stranahan's and politely place your panties on the table. Because seriously, shouldn't we all be having just a bit more fun?

PerverseCity

I'm a professional writer (journalism) with a passion for writing fiction and commentary (be it sexual, political or spiritual) in both my Smokedawg identity and my "real" identity online. I have several blogs, the ones attached to my Smokedawg identity being at https://betterwithsmoke.com/ ...as you might figure, my major kinks involve smoking (although two of the blogs linked to from the site above aren't smoking specific...granted, they also have less content), but I have a lot of other interests as well and know about way more fetishes than I actually care (or have time) to practice. And since I can't do them all, I try to mix as many of them as possible into my erotic short stories.

Nina Hartley: Tuesdays with Nina

For me, sex has been my vocation, my meal ticket, my path to happiness and self-understanding. It’s taken me all over the world: Germany, Sweden, Spain, New Zealand, Canada and Australia. It is my meditation and communion with my husband, Ernest. My interest in sex is unabated by all that I’ve had: I’m always interested in it: watching it, doing it, helping others do it better, listening to others have it, lending a helping hand (quick, more lube!). Since it is a body-based activity, the good that comes from it lasts and lasts and affects other parts of my life. There is always something to learn about oneself through sex, even less-than-satisfying sex. I don’t have bad sex any more, ever. By making conscious sexuality my mantra, I always get the most out of every sexual experience.
