Of Vampires and Lovers: A Halloween Posting

There is no part of my body that better acts as a go-directly-to-“go” beacon than my neck. A pair of lips and some teeth and tongue on it just sends me into the stratosphere.
I’ve kept my hair short for three or four years now, and I’m hesitant to grow it any longer than my jawline [...]

Happy Halloween!!

Here’s something a little more fun. Snapped by yours truly at one of Vancouver’s favourite annual events, the Parade of Lost Souls. And this is why you ask people if you can take their photo! :) Happy pumpkin day, people. I know, I’m early, but I like this picture and had to share it. You [...]

Another HIV/AIDS Prevention Tip

Do NOT floss or brush your teeth before performing oral sex. If your gums bleed, it can really increase risk of transmission/infection. Do not re-use anyone’s dental floss. Do not share toothbrushes. Do not share razors. Seriously. But before you get paranoid, read this list of how you cannot get HIV/AIDS, all right? Folks with [...]

Getting Laid, Getting Tested, Getting AIDS

Being on the verge of the dating game once again, I know important chats loom. Not just the happy-happy topics like what flavour of ice cream is agreed upon or whether taking it from behind’s an indulgence that’s approved of, but that of testing and diseases.
It’s not really a fun topic to think about, if [...]

Yet Another Posting on the Importance of Talk

I’m always talking about how important communication is.
I always hear from women who are complaining that their lovers don’t do what they like, or from men who wish they knew what their women want. It goes both ways. I think the biggest problem tends to be, though, that a lot of women feel [...]

Invisible Scars and Being Alone in the Dark

A long, long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away…
My mother attempted suicide.
I’ve never written about this, and I would have liked to delve into it in a more literary way, but this is merely a public service announcement. I’m scared of going too into the moment. Even now, all these years later, [...]

They Like Me! They Really Like Me!

I’m thrilled to announce that I’ve just gotten a glowing review from the incredible Jane’s Guide. I feel like a proud mama! Woot!
They said:
This journal is sort of a combination of personal diary entries and how-to articles related to sex. Steff is a confident woman that approaches sexuality in a pragmatic and mature fashion, but [...]

Updates and Transfers and Such!

HEY! What up, my good people?!
I’m happy to report that I finally got off my plus-de-derriere and updated my damned “best of” stuff. I’ve added a schwack of new links to my list of stuff. Have a boo, in case you’ve missed anything. For those subscribing to Bloglines and Feedburner and such, sorry for weighing [...]

Sugasm #50

Welcome to my headache. I’m transferring all my “best of” posts to the Smut site, so if you’re being redirected, don’t freak out. Advertisers care about hit counts, so, I’m being pragmatic and putting my archives where it counts: in the future, and not my past.
So, no worries, everything will be preserved. You can still [...]

The Ugly Side of E-Dating

(Okay, a disclaimer. I will NOT be posting the private info of anyone who has contacted me through Craigslist. Everyone will remain anonymous. I will, however, air certain message contents if it illustrates a point, such as: There are people who say mean and crass things for the hell of it. One might wonder why [...]

Sugasm #50

It’s that time again– Sugasm! I’ve missed the deadline for submitting for this week AGAIN. Man, oh, man.
It’s a concert night tonight. I get to see a good gig, but it’s the sit-down variety, and that has me bummed. Literally, too. What’s my ass supposed to do when they get their swing groove groovin’? Just [...]

Just a Few of My Firsts: Part the Second.

Hey, boys and girl. I’m a bad blogger and didn’t put a pointer up here for the second part of my firsts, which was posted at Smut & Steff yesterday. Here’s the link for ya. It’s getting dirty.
Part three will be up early next week. I’ll break up the mix a little with some other [...]

Just a Few of My Firsts: Part 1

If you’ve missed the bulletin, I have a new blog which is due to be replacing this one. Please update your links accordingly — it’s much appreciated. It’s found at www.smutandsteff.com. Most of the content from here will gradually be moved over to there. It’ll take a while, though. (If anyone’s written a program to [...]

"Taking a Look Behind the Packaging"

Hey, folks. I’ve posted a new thingie-thing over at Smut and Steff.
It’s a look at Dove’s popular Campaign for Real Beauty. I’m not “just another fan” of the campaign and have been on the fence about publicizing it for a while. But, finally, I have. Take a lookie look.

Taking a Look Behind the Packaging

It was suggested that I might want to write about the Dove Campaign for Real Beauty.
I’ve thought about it off and on for a while. The phrase “It’s not personal, it’s business” keeps ringing in my head, though, because this, baby, is business.
First, the campaign is brilliant. I relate to a lot of what it [...]

I’m inspi(red) to act

I am a stark-raving liberal. I care about my fellow Earth citizens. I think “luck” plays too great a role in the human condition. Why am I not some rural African dead or dying from AIDS? Why I am not subject to the ludicrous conditions and threat of rape in modern day South Africa? [...]

[Now anyone can comment. Sorry, had it switched to 'registered users only.' The management has been shot, the apes have taken over, and all is now well.]

The Girl Inside the Steff

I’ve always been a tomboy.
When I was a kid, my most prized possession was my cowboy boots. Yep. I still remember the rage I felt that provoked me to take the extreme step of yanking off one of my beloved boots and hurling it across the yard at Devon’s head, when we were 8 and [...]

The birth of the New Blog

Well, I’m launching the new blog today. It’s not done. It’s not ready. It’s ready enough. “New” as in “about to replace this blog forever” type of “new”.
I need to make the stupid unfinished thing public or I won’t actually do what needs to get done. I’m too lazy. I love to procrastinate. I see [...]
