Hello, friends! If you read this blog regularly, maybe you’ve noticed I haven’t been posting at my usual clip lately. I thought I’d update you on why that is, and what I’ve been up to.
The main thing is that I recently got a new gig reporting on sex for MEL Magazine, one of my all-time favorite publications. I’ve been reading and loving their stuff for at least 6-7 years, so it’s delightful that I get to write for them now! Here’s a highlight reel of some of my favorite pieces I’ve written for them over the past few months (you can peruse my full archives by clicking here):
- The Slubb is a power tool you put on your penis
- The ins and outs of Christina Aguilera’s humongous Pride dildo
- It’s a match: The best hookup apps for sex, love and everything in between
- The best sex furniture that isn’t sex furniture
- The best sex games for when you want to play in more ways than one
- The most delicious edible lubes, according to a renowned pastry chef
- The best spanking paddles, according to professional kinksters
- A first-timer’s gear guide to pegging
I’ve also been cohosting The Dildorks podcast as per usual; here are some of my favorite recent episodes we’ve done:
- Games, Toys & Bi Guys (a fun chat with our friend Brent Black)
- Tickle the Ivories (a discussion of my sexy songwriting)
- Smokes ‘n’ Jokes (our annual goofy “Highpotheticals” episode)
- Moral Oral & More (weighing in on various sexual ethics dilemmas)
- No Pain, No Gain (a conversation about masochism with Hurts So Good author Leigh Cowart)
In addition to that, I’m still writing my weekly newsletter containing intimate essays and thoughts on sex and love, Sub Missives, for premium subscribers (it’s 5 bucks a month or 50 bucks a year). Some recent faves:
- The story of my first kiss
- 5 vintage sexual fantasies for nostalgic moments
- How I have sex when I’m so tense & stressed that my vagina is basically a boarded-up haunted mansion
- Why I wear red lipstick (and don’t care what anyone thinks about it)
- I just turned 30; here are 30 things I’ve learned about dating
I’m also still doing my “A Song A Week” challenge, writing and recording one new song every week for the duration of 2022. Here are some of my favorites lately:
- Dear Professor (a kinky sad love song)
- The One (a romantic song about my spouse)
- Difficult Woman (inspired by the hardships faced by Marilyn Monroe and Judy Garland)
- Doll (a song from the perspective of a sex doll hidden in a closet)
- Bodily Autonomy (an unapologetically pro-abortion rights song)
Finally, I’ve still been doing promotion for my two books, 101 Kinky Things Even You Can Do and 200 Words to Help You Talk About Sexuality & Gender, both of which you can get at local bookstores or online.
I’ll still be posting on this blog once in a while – I’m definitely not shutting it down or anything! But with all these projects on my plate, the blog is no longer my top priority, so I thought I’d let you know what else I’m up to so you can check out my other work if you’re so inclined.
Love always, and thank you for the support! 💖 -Kate
