First, let me say that as an employee for a MAJOR internet company who works in tech support. I'm constantly having to walk someone through taking the necessary steps to do some spring cleaning for their computers. Today, I had to do it again with my partner. He needed me to email him the steps to take so that he could pass on the information to
In discussions regarding bedroom antics, most people will admit to anything. They’ll tell you that they dig the ass slapping and hair pulling. They’ll own up to BDSM fantasies and porn fiascos. The one thing that they won’t say though: “I dig anal.” The conversations that I’ve had with other women (and men) have made me see
Watching a friend go through the stages of New Relationship Energy (NRE) can be entertaining. For myself, I tend to keep things so private that my buddies don’t realize there is a new person in my life until the NRE has started to wane. But for some of my dearest friends, they engross themselves in it with fervor. I’m not saying that this is
I am a girl. There is no getting around that fact. To be sure, I’ve checked the equipment. However, I am one of those few girls that is not a “girl’s girl”, I am a “guy’s girl”. That doesn’t mean that I don’t have “girly” qualities, I do. These just aren’t the mainstay of my daily activities. It is the main reason that
If you happen to be one of the (lucky) few that can call themselves “polyamorous”, then I’m sure you understand just how important your time can be. We all have obligations that have to be met. Being poly means that the time management skills get kicked up into over drive. I’ve never had a problem balancing the different demands on
Over the years, I’ve come to both love and hate Windows. When I used XP, I constantly felt like bashing my head through a wall. After Vista, I was completely happy. Then came the Service Pack 2 release and the wish for self inflicted violence came back. Now there is Windows 7 and, with time, I’m sure it will bring on its own set of
This is going to sound bad but I love my bed. Not in the “my bed is really comfortable” way but in the “I don’t want to sleep in your bed because I spent weeks going through stores and catalogs to get every single aspect of my sleep center just right” way. So when given the choice between sleeping at my boyfriend’s place or at my
In the world of the cyber criminal, the rest of us often forget just how at risk we are. We don’t realize that our computers are considered lucrative targets by those who would take advantage of our vulnerabilities. Most people think that if they aren’t wealthy or if they don’t have assets worth taking then they are safe. They think that
With every new person you invite into your bed, you have to make decisions. Some take no thought at all: condom? Yes. Others are less serious: lights on or off? Dim. Being in a poly relationship can complicate this arena of a new relationship. Because the person that you are with, your primary partner, has a say-so in the decision making
When I first got a message response to one of my online profiles, I looked at the guy as too “artsy” to have anything in common with me. My answer to the initial contact must have said as much because that was what prompted him to reveal that he too was polyamorous and in a relationship. As we cultivated our friendship, I talked to the
