Ecstatic sexuality can be traced to many philosophical and spiritual teachings; to far away lands and cultures that are no longer with us

Hey, tops. How do you feel when a bottom says “Why did you do that?”

I’m going to blow my wad right up front and tell you the best thing I know: Keep It Moving

When brainstorming about this month’s column I found myself weighing out the best piece of wisdom I have ever received. I can’t say it came from one particular source but was more synchronicity that converged upon me over a short span of time.
