Long Time, No…

It's 1:30 A.M. I should be asleep, but I can't. I somehow found myself in front of the computer- something that rarely happens these days, unless it's for work. Heaven knows this book business is no way to make a living. I was TRYING to design the cover of my newest book, but it's proving …

Repost: Peep-ology: The Science and Art of Sugar-coated Marshmallow

It's almost Easter. That means it's hunting season at local grocery stores for those sweet, sweet creatures called Peeps. You know that marshmallow goodness shaped vaguely like baby chickens and smothered in neon-colored sugar crystals. To check out the manufacturing process of these sweet little guys and gals, check out this Chicago Tribune slide show. Not …

The Great Bender

Ex-lovers never truly leave us. A song, a scent, a turn of phrase-- can take us back in time and stir emotions forced dormant to save her own sanities.  What about our past makes it a familiar place to wallow? For memories will soon rush too of the sullen times-- the sophistry, the conniving nature …

Repost: See Jane Trust. Trust No Dick.

See Jane. See Jane trust. See Dick accuse Jane of cheating. Trust no Dick. The true character of a man is tested when his mind starts to construct fantasies about his reality. Harry once told Sally that men could never be friends with women. It's a sad world when a girl can't just talk to a …

“Filling In” Social Media and Your Other Online Profiles

by Kristie LeVangie It never ceases to amaze me about the assumptions I get from people based on who I am and what I do. "I heard you are a lesbian." "You have sex all day.  What do you think?" "Ask Kristie what that is.  She knows all about that freaky sex shit." "So how do …

Asexuality

Last week I had a conversation with an asexual person, and it has completely blown my mind. Often in an effort to understand a particular perspective, I like to put myself in someone else's shoes.  So all week I tried to imagine a world with no erotic impulse. I really did. I wanted to understand …

Repost: She Feels My Pain: The Unglamorous Life of the Sex Blogger

I write about it all the time...how being a sex blogger can cramp your dating life, tarnish your reputation, dominate your conversations, and lead to a whole plethora of issues with self-esteem. So I was relieved a few years ago when I found an excerpt from another sex blogger voicing similar thoughts, Charlotte.  She wrote …

What Men Really Think…Like I Fuckin’ Know

by Kristie LeVangie Alright, class. Today, we talk about “What Men Really Think.” Take your seats.  It’s time for for us, girls, to be schooled. Yeah, yeah, yeah.  How many times have we been told, “Men are simple. They think with their dicks.  They say what they mean.”? Well…I call bullshit! Because I refuse to believe …

Just a Little Note about Fantasy

by Kristie LeVangie I would say I'm a realist...on the surface at least.  My imagination takes my brain on trippy mental treks, but that's a side effect of being a writer and a closet romantic.  But most of the time, I live in the real world-- the here and now of the journey through time. …

Food for Fodder

by Kristie LeVangie My first exposure to food and sex was in the movie, 9 1/2 weeks. The scene where he blindfolds her and they sit in front of the refrigerator as he feeds her was my first foray into the erotic nature of foods.  Leftovers, quite frankly, never looked so good. I had my first experience with and …
