Why Horror Feels Safe When Real Life Doesn’t
When I tell people that horror is my comfort genre, I usually get one of two reactions: a polite smile that says “I don’t understand, but okay”, or a nervous laugh as if they’ve just been handed a red flag.

Why I Still Refuse to Fake an Orgasm – 7 Years After My Viral Post
Seven years ago, I wrote a blog titled Why I Will Never Fake Another Orgasm. Back then, I was angry — angry at the orgasm gap, angry at the pressure women feel to perform pleasure to protect male egos, and angry at myself for spending years pretending to be satisfied just to keep the peace.

We live in a world that glorifies hustle. It claps for early risers, praises calorie-burn stats, and romanticises the person who “never misses a workout.” But behind that commitment can sometimes hide a disorder that's just as dangerous as restricting or bingeing: exercise bulimia.

Behind Closed Doors, Wide Open Minds: A Guide to Sex Clubs for the Curious but Cautious
If you’ve ever wondered what really happens inside a sex club, you’re not alone. Most people are curious — it's just that we rarely talk about it openly. There’s an air of taboo around the idea of public or group sex, kink playrooms, or open swinging — but as someone who’s dipped a toe (and then some) into the scene, I can say this: it’s not what you think. Or maybe it is — but in the best possible way.

The Silence Around Hypersexuality: What Survivors of Sexual Abuse Aren’t Saying — and Why It Matters. Content Warning.
When Survival Looks Like Shame Hypersexuality isn’t often included in conversations about trauma recovery. It’s the messy, uncomfortable truth that doesn’t fit the popular image of the “damaged but quiet” survivor. But the reality is that many people who’ve experienced sexual abuse develop an intense, compulsive relationship with sex — not because they enjoy it, but because their body and brain are trying to reclaim control.

From One Sex Worker to Another: What Bonnie Blue Got Right — and What Worries Me
Who Is Bonnie Blue — and Why Is Everyone Talking About Her? In recent weeks, Bonnie Blue has become a household name. With her Channel 4 documentary making headlines, she’s been splashed across tabloids and timelines, dubbed everything from a “monster” to a “marketing genius.” As someone with lived experience in sex work, I watched the coverage — and the documentary itself — with interest, concern, and unexpected admiration.

Why Do We Still Hate Fat Women? (And Not Fat Men?)
Every day on social media, we see it: a plus-size woman posts a photo in a swimsuit, a video dancing in her living room, or just a selfie where she dares to look happy. The response? Disgusting. Comment sections quickly fill with hate: "promoting obesity," "think of your health," or just outright cruelty dressed up as "concern."
