Hi, all! Regular readers may have noticed it’s been a minute since I did a Monthly Faves round-up. In all honesty, I’ve been super exhausted a lot of the time, due to a mix of professional factors (i.e. launching my first book!!) and medical factors, and I just haven’t had the energy to do a Monthly Faves in a while.
But usually those are the posts where I brag about the stuff I’ve been up to lately, and I’ve been up to a lot lately – so I thought I’d collect some of my recent media appearances, published articles, etc. into one place so you can check ’em out if you’d like to. Here’s some of what I’ve been working on, as of late…
Audio
- My friends at the Off the Cuffs podcast invited me onto their show again to talk about the process of writing my book. We also discussed a listener-submitted question about DD/lg dynamics.
- The folks at Off the Cuffs also invited me to discuss the movie Red Eye with them for a Patreon bonus segment. It’s one of the horniest, kinkiest movies I’ve ever seen, and also definitely one of my favorite thrillers, so I was glad to chat about it with such smart pervs!
- The delightful Erin Pim and I talked on her podcast about the kinky stuff in my book, harm reduction in BDSM, and sexuality in Mean Girls, among other things. Lots of giggling in this one!
- I had a fun time repeat-guesting on What Women* Want. We talked about my book, my experiences trying various kinks I wrote about in the book, and some other miscellany about sexuality and gender.
- I chatted with Aria Vega on the POV by Lustery podcast about my book, kink/BDSM/fetishes, chronic pain, and more. (Doesn’t Aria have such a gorgeous voice?!)
- As per usual, I’ve been cohosting weekly episodes of The Dildorks, on all manner of sexual subjects.
- We wrapped up season 2 of Question Box back in September, after a fun-filled season where we were lucky to chat with fascinating guests, from a storytelling coach to a dating expert to a fiber artist to a fitness instructor.
Video
- I was blessed to get to do a book launch event on Glad Day TV which was so fun! I read some chapters from the book and chatted with Tianna about the writing process, readers’ reactions to the book, my philosophy in writing it, etc.
- Phoebe D. invited me onto her video podcast, Sexuality After, for a wide-ranging chat about my roots as a sex educator, my forays into kink, some common dating difficulties, and various other things. Fun fact (I guess): I did this interview while quarantining at my parents’ house and dealing with a mystery illness (not COVID), hence the congested voice and loopy thought processes!
Writing
- Some recent fave newsletters I’ve written touched on high heels fetishism, my first experience with “lesbian” voyeurism, the queerness of Mean Girls, staying friends when romance doesn’t work out, using kink to get through a dental appointment, confronting internalized anti-fatness, getting spanked with my own book, sex with your ex, breakup trauma, and a hookup with a British man having an existential crisis.
- If you like the show Succession, you might enjoy this filthy fanfiction story I wrote.
- For the Andrew Blake blog, I’ve recently written about vagina tightness, phone sex, erotic hypnosis, sex toy jealousy, and how to deal with anxiety during sex.
- Some of my recent articles for Momentum Intimacy were about unusual fetishes, the therapeutic potential of kink, the history of erotic spanking, kinky communication tools, and deepening your intimacy through kink.
- I contributed some reporting + recommendations to this Self article about couples’ sex toys.
- Marie Claire UK interviewed me about how to tell your partner about your kinks.
- I explained 10 of the most popular kinks for the Daily Star.
