Reclaiming My Sex Life – Harper’s Story
*Trigger warning: depression, self-harm, rape I never quite expected to be telling a story to strangers that I am not quite sure I have accepted myself, yet here I am doing exactly that, because despite my reservations, it needs to be spoken about. And I must be clear, this is MY story. I am not speaking for anyone else when I tell it. Everyone experiences things differently and heals (or not), in different ways. This is my journey from being raped to rediscovering sex, and let me tell you, it has been one hell of a ride! At 18, I met Jack. Jack was a friend of a friend and…

Sexting Paddy
Hello, I am Scarlett from the blog Sexting Scarlett, ok, I’m not really called Scarlett but Paddy has christened me this and truth be told, I like it – it is now my adopted persona for when I want to sext and I fully intend to buy myself a t-shirt with a bold S (think Emma Stone in Easy A – a weird movie reference, but it’s how I roll). Anyway, back to sexting with Paddy. If you have read his previous blog you will know we got hot and heavy over messages after matching on Tinder. What you will not know because Paddy still denies it to this day,…

The Ghosting FWB
Before I start let me say this, I’m not a writer, which given what I do for a living some would find odd, and I’m terrible at talking about myself and my feelings.

So for what is probably the first real occasion, I’m going to try and combine something I should be good at, with something I’m really not – talking about others, and how they make me feel. Hopefully with a splash of humour to boot! This is a story I was never sure I’d tell, much less publicise. Some of you may have seen the odd brief…

When Dating Gets Dangerous!
I love a dating story, they can provide hours of entertainment for friends and family (and random strangers), some are hilarious, some just ridiculous, but there are some that are just damn well terrifying. I am going to tell you about mine. There was a time a couple of years ago where I was still trying to recover from the loss of a significant relationship, one that ended and turned out to all be lies, one that almost destroyed me to my very core. But I was trying to be on the up, I was trying to move forward so I was doing what many people do in this situation……

The Match & The Chat
Paddy’s handing over the writing of the blog today to @lifehostage32, its a woman’s perspective on the apps. These are her words. Enjoy. Now, I don’t know about you, But I find online dating really hard work. Firstly, in order to be in the ‘zone’ for it, I must ignore all my inner voice telling me it never ends well (there will be more of this in future posts, I’m not just impatient I promise!) Then following on from that, there is all the admin. I love a swipe ( so do my friends after a few wines – sometimes they pick pretty well to be fair! – we all…
