The Sex Workers’ Opera is pretty extraordinary
“Do you want to go and see a show about sex work?”
“Ooh, yeah, that sounds interesting. Tell me more.”
“It’s a combination of storytelling and political activism.”
“Cool.”
“Told via the medium of song.”
HOLY SHIT YES PLEASE.
A dirty poem, because why not?
I’m still catching up on work, blog and life after Eroticon, so to tide you over with something fun I’ll give you a quick and dirty poem. I wrote this in part during Ashley Lister’s workshop, then tweaked it slightly on the train back.
It’s rough. But so am I.
EroticonLive 2016 – the last one?
Exhausted and happy – that’s pretty much how I’ve ended each Eroticon I’ve been to for the last three years. From the first, in 2014, when I mostly hid at the back of rooms and tried to pluck up the courage to talk to my favourite bloggers, to the second, where I trembled and rushed my way through a talk. To this one, in 2016, where I laughed with old friends, made amazing new ones, and felt like the luckiest person alive.
This round-up will probably only make sense to the people who were there. If you’re just here for the filth, look away now.

Riding crops: tally fucking ho
WHY HAVE I NEVER WRITTEN ABOUT RIDING CROPS?! I need to rectify this immediately, because riding crops are not only super-hot, but they also represent one of my earliest sexual memories. And by that I mean there was one time I spotted a riding crop on TV and couldn’t understand why I got all the funny feelings.
