Read, Connect With, or Listen...


ARTICLE:  Victim Who By Karly Sciortino in VOGUE. 
Sex Journalist and Viceland SLUTEVER Host, Karly Sciortino, wrote a damn fine piece highlighting the sexual agency women do have and how society often champions the sex lives of men while correlating a woman's sex life with her virtue. Good shit. Write on. 


PRACTITIONER: 
"I want you to know how EROTIC you are." 
Is what first hits you, bold and honestly, when you visit the website of, 
SexLoveLiberation. 
It's the gorgeous brainchild of Ev'Yan Whitney, a Sexuality Doula (how can you not want to discover the genius of this woman with a self-professed title as that?). 

This powerhouse coaches women to unlock their sexual essence to empower them to heal from the soul and womb and beyond. If your struggling with sexual trauma or feeling like a stranger in your own body, then give Ev'Yan a call (or click)


VIDEO: 
Caught in a Sexless Marriage (or long-term relationship)? Sad but true, over a third of brides don't have sex on their wedding nights, sooooo, I am guessing that this sets up an unfortunate precedent for the course of matrimony. This TED TALK, is aptly titled, No Sex Marriage - Masturbation, Loneliness, Cheating, and Shame by Maureen McGrath .This TED talk will bring you comfort in knowing your not alone and just what you can do about said, no-sex in your relationship. 



BOOK:
I'm an automatic admirer of any woman that's a photojournalist, and while Ava Green is a figment of my erotica author friend, Tasha L. Harrison's, imagination, she is still as real as they come. 
Tasha's most recent novel is a surefire and sultry winner for the erotic fiction genre. 

Therefore, please go add, The Truth of Things, to your Kindle ASAP. (+ she's a freelance romance and erotica editor ya'll, #supportawomanownedbusiness) 
















RESOURCE:
Ever wondered if there was a website solely dedicated to being your emotional BFF while navigating life after heartbreak? 
Well, whatyaknow, there is: Let's Mend. 
It's your space to be face in the place to walk you through this, 
"I think my heart has been ripped out" difficult time. 
What I heart about this site the most is that it is filled with stories of real life-rs, candidly sharing how they went from hurt to healed. Where in the fuck was this site four years ago when I endured some serious infidelity smh? They even have an APP. 
THIS article on loneliness was a gem! 


SONG:
You know those moments when you want to be brutally honest with yourself about how you really need a bad boy or girl in your life? 
OK! I got you. In musical form. 

Bad Decisions by indie hottie, songstress + song writer, 
Rayana Jay, will become your new heart breaker theme song! 


Inject some sex (or sensual fun and healing) into your life this week! 

XOXO!

Character Vibes: The Cool Nerdy Sexy Black Man In My Erotica

Image via: thetraveljoint.com 

Imagine Leon Bridges.
The cool, nerdy, sexy crooner from my city of birth, Fort Worth, TX. 

Yep, he's got leading man vibes. And his essence very much reminds me of the man at the center of one of my two erotica books in the making. 

PRETTY HARD DECISIONS. It's a fast paced erotica that quickly sweeps readers into a world of jealousy, fetishes, societal expectations, and buried secrets that eventually make their way into the lives of three grown and sexy millennials.

At the center of, Pretty Hard Decisions, you will find Kenneth.

Here's his snapshot: 

Kenneth Montgomery, 34, Black, Web Developer at hot new start-up, Lit Up Tech. 

He develops apps that helps authors go viral. Single father, full-custody of eight year-old, Yasmeen. 

They live in Harlem's, Morningside neighborhood. 

He's a native of Michigan and graduated from MIT. 

He has been having blazing hot and naughty, almost on the edge of dangerous, sex with Andrea Cummings and his ex-wife, Ashton Montgomery for the past month.

The web he weaves continues to spiral out of control as he finds himself not being able to deny the primal draw of Andrea and Ashton.

The data on the women he can't stay away from:

Andrea Cummings, 29, White, Freelance Tech Journalist and founder of the popular industry news blog, Hard Bytes, that she writes anonymously.

She lives in the Manhattan neighborhood of Chelsea that she shares with her best friend, Rivermoon Nichols. She was born and raised in Connecticut and graduated from The New School.

Ashton Montgomery, 36, Black, Pharmaceutical Sales Representative that sells a cutting edge drug that treats bipolar disorder. She travels non-stop for work. Mother to Yasmeen.

She recently relocated to Chicago for her job.
Ashton was born in Kenya to diplomat parents and graduated from Georgetown.

With smoking hot good looks, equally impressive careers, and enough ambition to climb any ladder they please, this trio must soon decide on how to navigate a world that leaves very little room for love or lust.

Do they continue to straddle the lines of living in both worlds, or do they choose love and lust over power? Who's keeping secrets and who is more vulnerable than they ever need to be?
This quick and dirty erotic novella will leave you wanting more and more page after page.
Guaranteed to hit your g-spot as much as pique your own desire to shatter the glass ceiling.

To be one of the first to catch a glimpse of the layered lives of Kenneth, Andrea and Ashton, sign-up for my #SELFPLEASURE Chronicles series. A steamy sex scene (a mix of either PRETTY HARD DECISIONS sneak peeks or fantasies that are all about solo sex) coupled with a "BIG-O" tip for mind-blowing self pleasure hits inboxes every Friday.

Until then...

XOXO,
