Shit My Tour Guides Have Said

While touring South Africa, we went through a few places that required a tour guide, not so much so that we could learn more about the animals, but rather because we might literally die without them.

Overall, they were pretty great, but some of them let out some quips and retorts that had me either flabbergasted or rolling with laughter.

Tourist: what sort of rhino is that?
Tour Guide: a grey one.

Tour Guide points at giraffe: and that, ladies and gentlemen, is our world famous long necked leopard!

Tourist: Stop! I saw eyes!
Tour Guide: What color were they?
Tourist: Green.
Tour Guide: Fantastic! You’ve spotted an antelope! We’re looking for lions. With orange eyes. Good job though.
Tourist: I’m just practicing for the real deal.

Tourist: Look! There’s a rhino!
Tour Guide: You mean that big rock?

Tour Guide: In ostrich pairings, if the male dies first, the female will remain alone for the rest of her life. However, if the female dies first, the male will take a new female. …just like in real life.

Tourist: What do you feed them? (crocodiles)
Tour Guide: Tourists.

Tour Guide: This monkey we only recently obtained from a zoo in Israel. He stays alone, he does not get along with the other monkeys. …probably because he’s Jewish.

I’ve never used a tour guide before this trip, but now I feel I have to use them more, because I’ve clearly been missing out on some weird and hilarious shit.

 

South Africa Trip Part One

Today marks the third day of an amazing trip to South Africa. After spending about 36 hours in transit, we finally arrived at Heathrow Airport, where we had an 8 hour layover. We spent the time eating breakfast at Giraffe’s, which seemed very fitting to our theme.

Jess tried to take a nap in the lounge, and I was stared down by a random woman as I snapped creepy photos of her sleeping.

After she woke up, we lounged at Starbucks and then went to get vitamin bars since we knew once we arrived in Johannesburg, we had a 6 hour drive ahead of us to Kruger National Park.

Jess found elevensies and she was VERY excited.

Jesswithelevensies

Once we landed we were picked up by the tour guide and began another long drive. At this point, we’re about 56 hours into transit. We stop for lunch and even though we both haven’t seen a bed in two days, we harass the shit out of each other.

Collage

We arrive at the park and don’t even get a chance to check into our huts. No, we are immediately whisked off down the safari trail to discover wild animals, with our luggage in the back seat!

There are about 500 photos from the past three days alone that I have to forage through, so, in no particular order, here are some of my immediate favorites.

TwoWildDogs

We were ecstatic to see a pack of about 20 something wild dogs, just running alongside us for almost an hour, since we were told they are very rarely seen, and you can go 6 months without seeing a single one.

Elephant

We also saw a lot of elephants at extremely close range. We often had to pause to let them cross over to the watering hole.

AtRhinoEdge

This was at a ridge overlooking the valley where we saw hundreds of rhinos grazing. We later saw them much closer up as well!

SnarlingLionIt took us a while, but we finally found lions! We were scaring off their prey as they were currently on the hunt, and I think we started to piss them off.

LionstareThis guy and I, we had a moment. We stared at each other for nearly a minute, and in that minute, we became best friends. AND NOBODY CAN TELL ME OTHERWISE.

KettandLion

We also got our bff photo. Because we’re cool like that.

And now we’re on our way to go crocodile diving, shark diving, and sooo much more. Hurray! More photo spam to follow!

At Least She’s a Whore

One of the first things people fall back on when they’re pissed off at me is the fact that I’ve been an escort. When I first told people I knew about it, there was a flood of varying reactions. Some people flat out told me it sickens them and they think I’m disgusting, that they’ve lost all respect for me. Some people begged me to find alternatives. Others stood by me and said they respect me for doing what it takes to pay my bills.

Truth be told, I almost prefer the people who were very in my face with their feelings about what I’ve had to do. I knew how they felt and that’s fine. What gets to me is when people say they support it, and then the moment they get pissed off at me, they turn around and say, “at least she had to suck dick for money” or “no matter how shitty I feel, at least I didn’t sink that low.” It’s pretty sad when the only thing that makes you feel better about your life is the fact that someone else is doing, in your eyes, much worse.

Last night I got an email from someone who has had a similar experience, except that she is emotionally much worse for wear, and that gets to me.

It gets to me that people have no problem taking her money to pay their bills, yet turn around and call her a whore, filthy, dirty, and disgusting. It happens all too often. She’s not the only one.

You want to call us a whore? Fine. I have absolutely no problem with someone who calls me a whore to my face, because I’m not going to sugarcoat what I’ve done, nor am I going to stop someone else who doesn’t want to sugarcoat it either. At the end of the day I have more respect for someone who can stand there and tell me how they feel about me to my face than I do for someone who hides their feelings until they’re too angry to hold it back.

People look at my life and a lot about me disgusts them. I’ve had people say I have no class, that I’m not a lady, that I have no right to have an opinion towards anyone or anything as I am on the bottom rung of society.

You know what? I’m not a lady, no. I look at people like Audrey Hepburn and I have to agree, I am not a lady, and I have no class. But if you have no problem sitting there and judging me like that, then you’re not a lady either, because a lady who has nothing nice to say about someone, keeps her mouth shut.

I stand by who I am. I look back on my life and see those moments where I had five hundred dollars to my name, was living in a hotel room, and had no idea what my next step was. I had options, most definitely. At any given point there are a dozen family members I could have called, and they would have taken me in, given me a place to stay, and helped me get back on my feet.

But that’s not who I am. What I did was not a last resort, but a solution that enabled me to do things my way. I am stubborn as hell, I’m not a quitter, and I do what I feel I have to in order to make things that I want happen.

I’m too calloused to be a lady. I’ve been through too much to worry about class. I’ve come too far to start caring about what other people think of me, or whether they respect me.  They feel that a person should be a role model, and someone that people can look up to.

I’m not a role model. I don’t visit my baby sister often because I don’t want her to imitate me. I would never recommend anyone else follow the path I’ve chosen, because while it is fast money, it is not easy money. It comes with an incredible emotional price tag.

I could have chosen a different route. I could have tried to be a lady. But at the end of the day, I remained true to who I am and made it work for me. People think that respect is all that matters. And in a way, it’s true. But you shouldn’t give a rat’s ass about the respect of others. You’re the one who has to respect yourself.

All those people passing judgment on you and the path you’ve chosen, they’re not the ones who have to lie in your bed, pay your bills, or wear your clothes. So why are you letting their voices live there?

People may feel better by saying “at least she’s a whore”, but I feel better by acknowledging that I never call myself a lady and am not about to start, with some whiskey on the rocks, and a “god damn things turned out great.”

Biased Feelings

Have you ever noticed that when you hate someone, every little thing they do pisses you off? It could be something as trivial as what they drink. You’ll just sit there, stewing, muttering “look at that fucking bitch, drinking diet mountain dew. Who does she think she’s kidding? What’s she trying to prove?”

Chances are that she’s not trying to prove anything, she’s just drinking diet mountain dew. Nevertheless, it pisses you off, for no comprehensible reason. It’s a drink. She’s not sitting there killing babies, she’s having a drink.

The question you should be asking yourself is why you fucking care? People sit there and pass judgment on whether your nail art was successful or not, whether that color looks good on you, whether your status had spelling errors, and whether you’re being pretentious enough.

Why. Do. You. Fucking. Care? Aside from keeping a hot mess on your facebook friend list because it’s like having a live subscription to failbook.com, why the hell are you investing any amount of time in their life? Why the fuck are you getting worked up over whether they had a cupcake with their lunch or post a daily outfit photo?

If you’re friends with someone, you are interested in what they do with their lives, and if what they do with their life pisses you off in every minuscule aspect, why fuck are you still friends with them?

I’ve been criticized fairly often for how harsh I am to people I know. Fact of the matter is, I have very little patience, and a hot temper. When it comes to people I care about, I’m apologizing a lot for things I say in the heat of the moment.

But I would rather say what’s on my mind and apologize for the tone I said it in, than sit and stew in secret contempt. Say what you will, the friends that I do have know where they stand with me at any given time. And they dish it right back to me.

Around the time when you’re hitting up mutual friends to see what someone is saying on facebook just to shit talk them, your life has hit a pretty pathetic low. You are letting your life, energy, time, and feelings surround someone you supposedly can’t stand.

If you can’t stand someone, move the fuck on. And if someone can’t stand you, stop wasting your time wondering what it is you are doing wrong, because chances are that you’re not doing anything wrong, they’re just going to criticize you no matter what you do.

Feelings are biased, so spend your time and energy on people who have biased feelings of love and support for you, rather than people who hate you.

Domestic Violence and the Media

I’m fairly certain “NEVER BLOG WHEN ANGRY” is in the top five rules of blogging, but I’ve never been much of a rule fanatic to begin with.

I’m not quite sure what exactly sparked the sudden flood of Rihanna hate this morning, but apparently it’s National Judgement Day. My feed is polluted with people shit talking someone they don’t even know, saying things like “she had it coming”, “serves her right”, and “I don’t even feel bad”.

Are you fucking kidding me? So because a woman makes an unwise decision, we suddenly don’t give a shit whether bad things happen? And this is coming from THE SAME fucking people who complain about how often women are blamed for rape in today’s society. How the hell is it any different from domestic violence? Oh, because it was someone she’s in a relationship with, it’s her fault? HOW THE FUCKING HELL DOES THAT MAKE ANY GODDAMN SENSE?

How much more likely is a woman to trust the words and apologies of someone she loves and has been in a relationship with, than someone she met at a bar? Yet you show more care for the woman who used bad judgement in alcohol and passed out at a party than you do for someone who has been manipulated by someone she gave her heart to.

You guys are all up in arms over CNN’s report on the Steubenville rape, yet you turn around and say “god damn it Rihanna, I hope he fucking punches you again you dumb bitch”.

And what’s so fucking ironic about the whole thing is that half the women who are writing bitchy facebook posts and sharing fucked up memes about it, are in emotionally abusive relationships themselves. But somehow it’s different because at least their face is still intact, right?

I feel like way too many have seen the movie “Enough”, and now think that all domestic violence cases should be handled like Jennifer Lopez, getting slapped once and saying “FUCK THIS SHIT” and getting the hell out of there, while her husband flips shit and turns nasty as hell, and she ends up kicking his ass.

I wish that all women in abusive relationships would react like in the movie, and get the hell out of there. But that’s not what happens. Get real. Abusive men are also incredibly charming and manipulative, and apologize frequently. Some of them even burst into tears of sorrow and regret.

Chris Brown would not STILL be as successful as he is now if he didn’t have incredible charisma and charm. For every person who thinks he’s a jackass and a douche, five other girls think he’s charming, sexy, with a gorgeous voice, and I’m sure he can be very manipulative and charming. 

Just because a woman has the strength to leave an abusive relationship doesn’t mean she’s been immunized against it for life.

Eggshells

I grew up with a marine corp, tough lovin’, construction-hunting-fishing-and-muscles father. He never tolerated pity parties, but instead gave me gems like “it’ll get better when it quits hurtin’” and “it’ll heal before you get married”. He built our home with his own two hands, and I watched him get hurt a hundred times. He just doused it in peroxide, slapped a bandaid on it, and kept right on going, laying the bricks to our home.

He taught me that sometimes you get hurt in life. You just have to disinfect it, put a bandaid on it and keep building your path in life. Over the years, I’ve found my own methods of disinfecting wounds. I crack open a bottle of wine, fill a tumblr with some whiskey, watch shitty television, scream and cry, and then I move on. I have my own life to focus on, and my wounds are never going to heal if I keep picking at the scabs.

It’s a pretty straight forward mentality, and I grew up with a straight forward dad. He was always excruciatingly direct, and painfully honest. I mean literally painfully honest.

“If you keep stuffing your face with doritos, you’ll get a double chin.”
“I tried reading your manuscript, but after 80 pages I just gave up. I just couldn’t do it. Nobody talks like that. Your grammar is atrocious. You have a long road ahead of you.”

I was 14, it was my first novel, and I was crushed. But 8 years later, I showed him some of my newer work, and I heard something I never in my life thought I would hear. He said “wow. This is really good. I’m impressed.” A few months ago I told him I started my own business and he said “I’m proud of you”.

Holy fuck I had to work so hard for those words, and it was worth every single fucking tear. And I may have had years of pain and hurt in between, but even so I’ve come to see that I’ve developed my dad’s character. He stepped on eggshells for no one. PMSing wife, bitchy teen daughter? No such tolerance. He has always called out everyone on their attitude when he thought it was off, and as much as I hated him for it as a teen, I’ve come to respect it all that much more now.

I have a no bullshit tolerance policy, and I walk on eggshells for no one. I’m not going to sit on a couch and watch you rant about the stupidest fucking shit and hand you tissue after tissue for days on end. I’m not going to watch you wrap yourself in a cloak of self-pity and bitterness at the rest of the world just because they’ve seen more success than you have. I’m not going to let you sit there and blame your country, your parents, the economy, the government, and society for how much your life sucks now. I’m not going to watch you waste your energy on bitching about twenty seven scapegoats you’ve conjured, and not a single one of them is yourself. You made your bed, and you can either lie in it, or you can strip the fucking sheets and make it over. I’ll always be ready to help you remake it, but I’m not going to support you wasting your energy crying over it day after day.

A friendship is made of more than support and a shoulder to cry on. A friendship is made of tough love and brutal honesty, and if a friendship can’t handle some brutal honesty, then it’s not a real friendship. You should never have to walk on eggshells around a friend, or anyone else for that matter.

My mentality has cost me a lot of friendships in life, but looking at the people I have in my life right now, I know that the people I am friends with are people I can trust to give me a healthy bitch slap when they think I’m in the wrong, and a hug once I realize it, and a drink to help me solve it. And I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Fairy Tales and the Real World

I think I’ve mentioned before that I am pretty opinionated about how to raise children I don’t have yet. One of those involves my firm decision to not lie to my kids about Santa. It’s not that I want to rob my kids of magic at Christmas, or spoil their sense of imagination; far from. I just want my kids to know the difference between imagination and magic, and what’s real in this world.

If I have a little girl and she wants to wear a fairy dress and run around with a magic wand and change the garden pumpkin to a carriage, that’s fine. I don’t think there’s anything more powerful than a child’s imagination and sense of wonder in this world, and to crush that would be cruel. I’ve sat down with my little cousin and had tea with all her imaginary friends, and I’ve left behind the snickerdoodles for her to feed her stuffed animals once I left, because they are “too shy to eat in front of strangers”. I played along when her cinnamon covered face came down to the kitchen because “Humphrey is still hungry”, and asked if he wanted some more milk too.

I may not believe in telling my kids that Santa is real, but I do believe in letting them pretend he’s real. I may not believe in telling my kids that fairy dust is real, and that Peter Pan might come through their window some night, but I do believe in letting them pretend we’re going to a magical world in our backyard where the sand can make them fly as they soar down the slide.

You can’t wave a magic wand and turn into a princess, but if she wants to wear a crown to dinner and sleep on Snow White sheets, she can. Fairy Tales may be make believe, but that’s what childhood is all about.

As a child, I loved my fairy tales. I watched the Disney movies with glee, and I cried over the brothers Grimm’s interpretation of The Little Mermaid. And life has changed for me since then, drastically. Sometimes I sit in front of the television with a half empty bottle of wine and wonder where the excitement and imagination went. Life isn’t like the story books, but that’s not what story books are for.

Fairy Tales aren’t there to prepare you for the real world. Fairy Tales aren’t there to give you realistic expectations about happy ever after and prince charming. Fairy Tales aren’t some childhood interpretation of karma.

Fairy Tales are there, for you to fall back on when your life has turned into a swirling vortex of shit. Fairy Tales are there so that when you’re 23 years old and can’t figure out how to fix your broken heart, you can pull out that old picture of you wearing your purple wings on your fourth birthday, and escape to another world, just like you did back then.

Her Story

I wish I could say this post is fiction. You might say it is, because it’s not my story. The problem is that it’s someone’s story. It’s her story.

She belongs to hundreds of girls walking home from school, getting off the bus, losing her momma’s hand at Six Flags for just one second. It’s the most frightening thing in the world, because up until that moment, scary things were only supposed to happen at night; monsters are only supposed to exist under the bed when the lights are out.

But the real monsters don’t creep up through your window or hide in your closet. The real monsters, the ones you read about in newspapers, invade your last shred of safety, and they tear you straight out from your comfort zone, so that even if you make it out alive, you will never be the same.

She will never be the same.

There’s nothing but a swirl in that first moment, as her brain attempts to comprehend what is happening. One moment she was holding her mom’s hand and begging to ride the teacups with Alice “just one more time”, and the next, she’s being shoved round a corner, with a hand clamped over her mouth and her hands cramped behind her back. Confusion leads to screams and a blind struggle, filled with panic.

I wish I could say that those first moments of panic are the worst; that those moments when the brain is trying to grasp what is happening is as bad as it gets. But they’re not. Because the only thing worse than blind panic, is that helpless panic you get once your brain has processed what is happening, and you realize no one else knows, and no one else can help.

At first you might think it’s like on crime tv, when the FBI agent comes breaking through, covered in dirt, sweat, and blood, followed by an army of SWAT members who infiltrate the dirty basement and wrap you in a blanket as they promise you they’ll get you out of there, and everything will be okay.

But then she realized that if they had any DNA, any clues, any decent security footage, they would have been here by now. If anyone had recognized him, they would have said something by now. And the helplessness took over. There’s no law here. There’s no justice here. There’s no judge and no trial. She just got sentenced without a hearing, convicted of a crime she never committed.

Helpless panic is the worst despair a human can go through. Helpless panic is that feeling you get when everyone thinks you’re lying, when everyone thinks you’re crazy, and they throw you in a padded cell as you scream your lungs out for hours before you realize that the more you try to convince them of the truth, the crazier they think you are. It’s that helpless feeling when you realize that within half a second, you went from having a day you’d later laugh at when you look at the photos, to wondering if you’d come out alive.

And in the midst of that panic, she’s being loaded into a truck, and driven for hours, and days, before she’s finally tossed into a pile with dozens of other girls, and as she looks at them, she realizes she’s not the only one. Except, that doesn’t help. In fact, it makes it worse. There’s dozens of girls here and no one has found them. There’s no helicopter flying in to help.

She’s thousands of miles from home, in a crowd of people who don’t give a fuck about what she feels or how much she misses her mom’s pancakes in the morning and her dad’s Eskimo kiss at night before bed, with girls just as helpless and stuck as her. And there’s no leaving bread crumbs or shooting smoke signals at the sky. There’s no random passerby she can make panicked eye contact with. She’s surrounded by enemies; anyone she encounters is just another threat.

Meanwhile, a thousand and a half miles away, people are passing by her photo on the Wal Mart bulletin board, bitching about the cashier’s attitude. They wouldn’t recognize her if they saw her; her face blends in with the twenty-seven other flyers on the wall.

This isn’t fiction. This is someone’s story. This is her story. And she’s not the only one.

The First Time

A work of fiction.

I’m drunk as I write this. I don’t know that I would have the courage to put this in writing otherwise. Ironic, if you think about it. It seems like all my courage and fire faded the moment he walked out the door, and I was left light-headed and weak, as all the nervousness from before suddenly rushed from my head to my feet like a torrent.

I can’t say for sure what possessed me to respond to the message I received earlier today in the first place. I had never been involved in any form of BDSM in my life. I hadn’t even seen BDSM porn. But 1,500 dollars for just an hour of domination was just too much to pass up. I proceeded to nervously spend the next hour zipping myself into the tightest black dress I had, attaching my extensions, applying my lipstick half a dozen times, and reading up on light domination.

Fifteen minutes prior to his arrival I was still trembling, so I reached for the whiskey and took a heavy chug. I took another three for good luck, and then he called to tell me he was on his way up. I could feel the whiskey worming its way up to my throat when I opened the door to find a skinny, shaking man in front of the door. He was probably at least six foot tall, but he was hunched over so badly he looked shorter than me. I wasn’t entirely sure what I had expected, but definitely not this. I smiled a hello, and waved him in. After letting his eyes roam a 360 around the room, he stepped in, and I had to wave him further in until I could finally shut the door.

I reached my arm up to give him a quick hug and peck on the cheek, and I could feel him flinch. He finally spoke, stammering and stumbling over the first couple words, apologizing for being late, but that he was very nervous. “That makes two of us,” I thought wryly, as I motioned toward the bar, asking if he wanted a drink. “Just water,” he said, but I was tempted to spike it. I gave myself a whiskey on the rocks and chugged that as well. In the meantime, he shoved a wad of hundreds across the counter and turned his back to me to drink, giving me time to count it and tuck it away.

When he had finished drinking his water, I ushered him to the bedroom, where he promptly  darted for the bathroom. In the meantime, I sat down on the edge of the bed, pulling the hem of my dress as far down as I could. When he emerged, the shaking had stopped, but the sweating had begun. He sat so close to me one leg was nearly on my lap, and leaned in close, asking if he could have a kiss. He reeked of sweat and decaying food, and I found myself saying, “no. You have to earn it.”

He leaned back, but put his hand on my thigh, so I stood up, facing him, and told him to strip. He nearly stumbled over his shoes in his eager attempt to drop his pants, where a wet stain was already spreading over the zipper. As he stood before me, I saw he had put a cock ring around his penis, and it was a horrible purplish blue color. As my repulsion for him increased, I found it easier to keep control of the situation. I laid a towel out over the bed and told him to lie down. Then I turned to the dresser and pulled out two dildos. One was small and narrow, but the second was almost as thick as my wrist. He strained to look up at them but I told him to lie down flat and spread his legs.

I applied lube all over the smaller one, and worked it in with some roughness. After struggling to get the first inch in, the other three burst forward abruptly and he cried out sharply. I proceeded to pull it out and force it back in again, and then again, going a little harder and faster each time, his penis growing fatter and more purplish blue with each stroke, until I thought the cock ring was going to snap and hit me in the face.

I proceeded to spit on it and demand he stroke his own penis, as I continued forcefully ramming the dildo into his ass. Finally, as I thought he was slowly getting used to the dildo, I drew it out and set it aside, bringing for the big one. I applied a generous amount of lube, and began working it in. As with the first one, I worked the first inch in very slowly, and then watched the next four abruptly shoot up, as he cried out in pain. I grinned and asked him if he enjoyed that. He winced in response, but I told him I wouldn’t continue until he told me he enjoyed it. Finally, he gasped out, “I–I enjoy it,” and I rammed it in again. He was sweating so badly I was worried it would soak through the towel, and the room was marinating in the stench.

I spat on his cock again and demanded he stroke it slowly, as I rammed the dildo harder and further up his ass. Finally, I left it in, and removed my underwear, leaving my heels and dress on. I proceeded to grab the riding crop off the top of the dresser, and straddled his face, commanding he eat me as if it were his last meal, as I struck his balls soundly with the tip of the crop.

With each cry, he buried his mouth deeper into me, and I fell into a steady rhythm, alternating between balls, and the sides of his penis. Finally, I decided he had tasted more than enough of me, and stood up again, walking back around to the edge of the bed. Spitting on his penis one final time, I told him to stroke it hard, as I continued to whip his balls.

When he was about to come, I pulled the dildo all the way out, and rammed it all the way in again with finality, and he let out a shriek as he came. I almost expected blood to start pouring out, his penis was that ugly a shade of purple. He sat up and leaned in for a kiss, but I stood up and motioned that he could clean up in the bathroom.

By the time he came out, his shaking had already returned. As he fumbled with the button of his pants, he exhaled loudly and said, “guess it’s time to return to the bitch”, and then added “my wife”, to clarify. I nodded, and then walked him to the door.

I’ve been drinking whiskey ever since, and it’s been a couple hours. I couldn’t figure out what I felt about what had happened in that hour. On the one hand, I felt incredibly repulsed by this timid, sweaty, smelly man, who liked getting his balls whipped and having gargantuan dildos shoved up his ass. Yet, on the other, I had felt incredibly confident in there. For the first time, I wasn’t spending an agonizing hour doing everything in my power to make a man happy, hairy balls deep in my throat, with a slimy tongue licking my tonsils. I was in control, and nothing happened unless I wanted it to happen. Not to mention, I had been paid three times the usual fee.

There was a different person in that room. A personality I didn’t know I had. And while this may be the alcohol speaking, I look forward to bringing her out again.

 

 

The Significance of Blow Jobs

I realize I’ve blogged about oral sex before, but I haven’t really dedicated much attention to actual blow jobs. I had a client one time who was about 49 years old, and told me that all he wanted was a blow job to completion. He paid for a full hour, but all he wanted was a full on blow job all the way.

Afterward he sat there for a while, completely motionless the entire time I was in the bathroom freshening up. Finally, he leans forward and says, “I cannot believe I’ve missed out on that all this time.”

Unfortunately, this is not an isolated incident. I remember a guy I had been friends with benefits with for a while, and the first time we hooked up. He leaned over the bed afterward and handed me a trash can, motioning that I could spit into it. I asked him what on earth he was doing. His facial expression was one of pure shock as he realized that I had simply swallowed it.

In other conversations I’ve had with men, it has become evident that they are not accustomed to a girl letting them cum in their mouths, much less swallowing it.
Now, I understand there are all sorts of hygiene concerns when it comes to casual sex. But what I don’t understand, for the life of me, are women who are in serious relationships, or married, and don’t swallow.

Don’t get me wrong; if you’ve never done it and you’re afraid to try, I’m not judging you. There’s a very thin line between not understanding and judging someone, but I sincerely don’t judge you; I just can’t understand it.

I just imagine a boyfriend going down on me and then immediately getting up afterward with a sour expression on his face to go brush his tongue off. It would make me feel horrible, completely kill the mood, and make me scared to death that maybe I had some unnatural odor.

That is the exact same thing that a LOT of guys feel when you stand there with that sour expression on your face, spewing their cum everywhere like you just licked an ashtray.

If you can’t bring yourself to swallow your boyfriend/fiance/husband’s cum, maybe you can come up with sexy alternatives? If you’ve never had a facial or a pearl necklace, you should seriously try it. A lot of people have asked me about my baby skin even though I drink as much as I do and smoke socially, and it’s a little awkward to explain that it’s because I habitually get facials.

Awkward though it may be, it’s true. Cum makes your skin baby soft and smooth, helps you avoid cancer, cures and prevents colds, and here’s another fun fact for aspiring mom-to-be’s: habitually swallowing your husband’s cum actually reduces your chances of morning sickness, as morning sickness is most commonly caused by your body’s reaction to the unknown DNA growing inside you. If your body is already familiar with his DNA, it is less likely to attempt to reject it. [EDIT: DISCLAIMER: I'm not a doctor. You want a source and facts, call your doctor. Don't be that girl from the State Farm commercial.]

I know some women will never enjoy giving blow jobs and swallowing anymore than I will ever enjoy anal sex, but you shouldn’t knock it before you try it.

Domination and Confidence

A recent conversation brought back some memories of my history in domination while I was in Europe. Many a man had come to me, asking me to control  them. The level of this domination always varied. Sometimes it was a light foot worship and me taking control of the meeting. Other times I used toys-for-boys, and sometimes I donned a strap-on and made them my bitch.

Domination is one of my favorite things to do in the bedroom; something I never thought I would say. I had previously just gone in and let guys run things, and I was fine with that. Then I got an offer I couldn’t refuse.

I didn’t think I had the confidence to tell a guy what to do, I was worried I would take it too far and he would look at me like I was crazy. I fidgeted the entire time I was waiting for him to come over. Then, something remarkable happened. Five minutes into the appointment, I had not only gotten over my nervousness, I was genuinely enjoying myself, which is something I had never thought I would say. Generally the only enjoyable thing about what I did was the fact that I could literally roll in cash at the end of the day.

Not this time. I was having fun. I felt myself become an entirely different person, and I liked it. I was in control, I called the shots. Someone was paying me money to drag him along the floor by a leash and snap my whip and bark commands.

Domination is controversial, absolutely. And I have no set opinion on whether it has any place within a real relationship. But what I can say is that since experiencing the role of a dominatrix, a lot changed within me and who I am. Over the past months since then I think I’ve let a lot of that confidence go, but talking about it brought back a flood of memories and I found myself remembering what it felt like to be in control. I found myself remembering what it felt like to snap a whip, and it’s a great feeling.

Staying a Victim

Shit happens. It’s a part of life we have little to no control over. You can put a thousand blocks on your kids’ computer, a predator can still find a way to abduct them. You can wear the rattiest sweats and baggiest sweaters, a rapist will attack you anyway. You can hide away in a bubble, but there will always be someone to pop it.

I should know this more than anyone. I’ve been raped five times. Once by a boyfriend, two were gang related, and two more were random attacks I couldn’t stop. This doesn’t count the multiple times I have warded off an attack.

I’d be lying if I said I never let it get to me. There was a period I couldn’t get up until some time after noon, and even then it was to take my dog out and then sit on the couch eating microwave food or take out. I stayed up all night battling my thoughts and doubts while watching bad TV and eating cupcakes. The worst part was that I didn’t acknowledge I was even floundering. I just chalked it off to stress and chronic exhaustion.

It took me a bit, but I did eventually realize that I had a problem, when my former roommate admitted she banished her sister from taking my dog out because it was the only time I ever left the couch. I realized that I was doing what I swore I would never would. I was staying a victim.

We all have bad things happen to us, and some things are flat out horrific, traumatizing, and gruesome. But that’s no excuse to stay a victim. Something bad happening to you is no reason to let life slide by while you blame every little thing on the aftermath of your experience. Your past has nothing to do with the fact that you didn’t get the reports in on time at work. It has nothing to do with your credit card debt or your cell phone bill.

Yes, shit happens, and yes, I too have fallen into deep slumps, but I find very few things more insulting than someone who can’t stand up to their flaws and inconsistencies, and would rather push it off on something that happened in their childhood. Mommy didn’t love me, and that’s why I thought it would be okay to lock up the store with the trash still on the tables. I was mugged, so don’t you dare point out the number glitch in the report; asking me to proof read something is far beyond my emotional ability at this time.

Are you kidding me? Man the fuck up. Everyone has an off day, and everyone has moments when the past flares up like arthritis before the rain, but that’s no excuse for not taking responsibility. When the day is done, you have a cry, you pig out on chocolate if need be, you vent about how much everything fucking sucks, but the next day you get your shit together and do what you have to do.

Everyone’s been a victim at some point in their life, some more than others. But it’s your choice whether or not you stay a victim.

Sluts and Free Milk

21st century and still the crowds part on women and men having casual sex. If I had a dollar for every time I heard “why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?”, I could retire to the Bahamas. Me personally, I like the idea of selling the milk, instead of the cow, but apparently America has a problem with that and decided to make it illegal, like everything else that’s fun and good in this world.

As for whether constant casual sex is psychologically damaging for women, I think it’s ridiculous to throw all women in the same pot. Different women have different emotional capacities, and some can handle casual relationships better than others. The very same applies to men. I know this, because I have a track record of having drunk sex with men who proceed to have reactions that varied from assuming we are in a relationship, to stalking me out at my work and home to crying and asking me why I wasn’t more clear about the parameters of our relationship.

Let’s make something clear across the board here: sex is NOT the equivelant of a relationship. I once had a habit of “hanging out” with a guy from work every few days, and we fell into a pretty easy routine. We’d watch a movie, go to a nearby bar, get wasted, and go back to his place. We weren’t really even friends until a few months had passed, and we certainly weren’t in a relationship.

I could go on for pages about all the benefits of sex. Endorphins, adrenaline, and holy god sperm IS the fountain of youth for your face. Someone should just bottle that shit up in cream and sell it. I mean, there’s a reason people say “god that bitch needs to get laid” when a woman starts becoming unbearably frigid and annoying.

Some women just use their own toys, but others need a real man to really feel relaxed. And honestly I don’t think there is anything wrong with a friends with benefits, fuck buddy, or one night stand situation by either party as long as the relationship remains on emotionally even ground, and both parties remain responsible. STDs aren’t a joke, and abortion clinics are not some fifth birth control option.

Sometimes a situation can start out as a one night stand, or a fuck buddy, but over the course of time the feelings may change with either party, and one of the most important elements in making a relationship like that work is having the emotional maturity to recognize when it is time to put an end to the sexual aspect of a relationship, when there is an emotional imbalance.

Sometimes both parties are emotionally there and ready to take the relationship to the next level. Other times, only one wants to commit. When the relationship has reached an impass like that, the most important aspect is to walk away. There’s no emotional damage until you remain in an unhappy friends with benefits situation, wishing you were exclusive while your sex partner continues to have casual fun with other people.

Opinions will always vary, and some people will always believe that a woman who has casual sex is a slut who doesn’t know her own self worth, but I believe that self worth is tied into your emotional health, and a woman who is emotionally happy and balanced within a casual sex situation, has more self worth than a woman in an unhappy marriage.

Anal Sex

Due to my history, I have had a lot of sexual partners. In my recent venture into porn, the number one topic that came up wasn’t “can you deep throat?”, or “how sexy do you look with cum on your face?”, but rather, “can you take a dick in your ass and pussy?”

After two auditions I can say with some confidence, yes, yes I can, now please pass the liquids as I am not sending anything through my poop chute for a week. For the most part, I am a huge advocate of porn. I think it helps people experience fantasies, helps give couples ideas to keep their sex life creative and alive. I would never consider porn cheating; after all, I would very much like to continue watching overrated action movies with copious amounts of sweaty men.

Something I don’t like about it, however, is how easy they make anal and deep-throating seem. My first boyfriend wanted to try anal with me, and I agreed. He then proceeded to ram his dick up my ass with the force of Thor’s hammer. There was blood everywhere, and I was shitting blood for a week. My parents didn’t even know I was having sex, so I was terrified to see a doctor over it. It was pretty much everything that can wrong when attempting anal.

Anal has to be taken slow, with plenty of lube, and a lot of relaxation. Even so, I daresay most girls will never enjoy it. Guys need to understand that when a girl is okay with anal, she is doing it for them. Disclaimer: There are exceptions. I have met girls who genuinely enjoy anal and can cum from it, if stimulating the clitoris at the same time. But it needs to be understood that these girls are an exception. The average girl has probably only experimented with it, and probably not properly either.

Porn stars literally take a douche to their ass to clear their system, and most of them take numbing drops before a shoot. So when guys are watching virtually every porn flick turn to a girl taking a fat 9 inch dick up their ass, they aren’t seeing the hours of prep work behind it, nor are they taking into account that most of these girls have practiced and stretched their opening.

The average couple deciding to randomly mimick something they’ve seen in porn needs to understand that the guy is going to get shit all over his dick, and the girl is going to flee to the bathroom with runny shit pouring out, potentially even mixed with blood, pending on how hard the guy was going and how big he is.

Also, guys, if you haven’t discussed this with your girl, do NOT randomly stick your finger in her ass while going down on her. I do NOT know who said it was okay, but it’s fucking not. I have broken many a man’s nose for trying that shit with me. It’s not cool, and it makes me want to ram a cucumber up your ass in your sleep; see how you fucking like surprise butt sex.

Child Shaming Online

Facebook is just an absolute gem of post ideas, not all of them pleasant. Yesterday I saw an image pop up in my newsfeed by someone I do not know. It was an image of a somewhat messy bathroom, and in the caption the woman went on to say that her selfish step daughter had done it again and how she couldn’t believe what a horrible selfish person her step daughter was being.

Now, I don’t know this woman or her step daughter at all. I don’t know what sort of person she is or how she meant it. All I had was a one image insight into her and her life, and what I saw just blew me away. I don’t know her, but I have friends who are step children. I have friends who are step parents. And I know that nothing hurts anyone more to their core than having that word “step” flung in their face.

Not only did this woman publicly humiliate and BASH her step daughter, but she made it clear that it was her STEP daughter. She shared the girl’s misdeed on the internet and spewed angry bile about her for everyone to see.

Now, I can totally understand parents sharing their parenting via the internet; sometimes it helps to have a community of parents that say you’re not alone; your child isn’t the first to throw a temper tantrum at Wal Mart. But there is a big difference between sharing your experiences and venting angry and hateful words about a child on the internet.

People build relationships with all sorts of people throughout their lives. Sometimes they have fights and things fall apart. Family is supposed to be the one place that never happens. Family is supposed to be the one place where you don’t have to worry about getting shunned from activities, going to bed with sweaty palms and swirling thoughts, wondering if they’ll ever speak to you again. All the worry and drama kids go through at school and after school clubs should leave when you’re with family. Family should be your safe haven.

When your mom, step mom, posts something so hateful online, it is soul crushing. Just as a step mother can be hurt by the words “you’re not my real mom!”, so a child can be devastated by the words “look at what my selfish step daughter did”.

Shaming your child on facebook or anywhere else in the internet is not only akin to bullying, it’s WORSE. You are an adult and you have a responsibility to care for and protect your child, not further hack away at their vulnerability.

Begrudging a Friend’s Success

I read a status today from a girl who had just landed a new job in a field she hadn’t anticipated working in. She was ecstatic to have received the job, and was more than willing to shift her initial goals. Then I saw a comment on the thread from another girl saying “How did you get that job? I have all the qualifications and I’ve been trying to get a job in that field for months. You don’t even have a degree in it.”

I messaged her about the girl’s comment and her response was “oh, don’t worry about her. She’s my best friend and she doesn’t really filter her feelings.” I responded that it just didn’t seem like she was very happy for her and she said, “she isn’t. She honestly thinks she deserves it more.”

I’m not surprised by many things, but I was surprised at her nonchalance about her friend’s obvious grudge toward someone who is supposedly her best friend.

I recently started a business venture of my own, and have received a flood of support from my friends. I can’t imagine one of them feeling the way this girl did toward her friend’s success.

I’ve never understood the concept of begrudging someone their success anymore than I can understand someone shitting all over someone else just to make themself feel better. Do good things happen to people who don’t deserve it? Absolutely. Do I occasionally ask myself what I’m doing wrong when someone else is more successful? Definitely.

But if you can’t bring yourself to feel genuinely happy for someone’s success, begrudge their success, or even fly into a pity party, then there’s something seriously flawed in your friendship. If all you feel is patronizing happiness toward their success in the same way you would feel if your rebellious teen kid had finally ditched the goth clothes, there’s something wrong with your friendship.

Claiming someone would never be where they’re at if it weren’t for you, feeling you could do what they do so much better than them, making a million excuses for how they had everything handed to them, and sitting and wallowing over how you “just want a chance” is nothing but petty bullshit.

Stop making excuses for yourself. Stop bitching about how much better someone has it. If you honestly look at your friend and see their success as competition to your own success, you have some seriously fucked up emotional issues.

No one should look at their friend’s success and feel the need to do more or better than they are. That’s not what friendship is about.

Friendship is founded on pure love for one another; a love that looks beyond flaws and personal gain. If that’s missing in your friendship, if all you can do is bitch about your friend’s accomplishments, you should seriously think about whether or not you’re actually friends. You should consider the fact that maybe you’re just a bitter soul who will never be truly happy if you can’t even be happy for your best friend.

Oral Sex

I have had sex with a LOT of guys. That statement makes for the worst first-date ice breaker ever, but it works when you’re establishing pseudo-credibility on the topic of what women like about sex, specifically oral sex.I’ve had sex professionally, for fun, for drunks, and for I-have-to-make-rent. I’ve had a lot of cherry popping firsts, and in a game of Never-Have-I-Ever I’d probably get alcohol poisoning. All things considered, I’ve actually been more careful about the whole oral sex aspect, and let me tell you, dental dams are unsexy as shit. I’d rather rub one out through my jeans than have a guy go down on me through a dental dam. And since herpes isn’t a good look, my oral sex record isn’t nearly as impressive as my fuck record.

Even so, I have had some amazing oral sex, and I have had what I hope is a world record for bad oral sex, because I don’t wish that much bad oral sex on any woman, ever. And the funny thing is that almost every guy always makes the same group of mistakes.

Mistake Number 1: The Shocker

NOTHING kills your tongue and fingers on my clit faster than one of them straying up the wrong hole. I don’t know what is more surprising to me, how often men find the shocker acceptable, or how many of them are turned off that I don’t like it. Let me explain something to you gentlemen, pimps, and playas: NEVER, and I mean NEVER, stick ANYTHING up a woman’s poop chute, unless you have discussed it beforehand. Nothing will grant you a kick in the face faster than sticking a foreign object up my anus. I understand things work differently for some guys, but let me help you understand that I do not have a prostate, and things go DOWN and OUT of my anus, not in and up. Your finger up my ass is as pleasant as vomit. Both are just fucking unnatural to me.

I understand some women enjoy it, or just have a high threshold for pain. But you don’t know which women do and which don’t. Porn may have you believe that women really do like things being shoved up their ass, but it’s not like oral sex. Nowadays you can pretty much assume that oral sex is part of the deal, but ass play is not and probably never will be part of “normal” sex. It, much like toe sucking, whips, and molten candle wax, REALLY needs to be discussed first.

As for me, I have one simple solution. Your finger goes up my ass, my fist WILL force its way up your ass. I don’t care if I have to drench it in sanitizer for a week after. I WILL teach you a fucking lesson.

Mistake Number 2: Nomming

This happens to me way too much, and it happens to a lot of my friends too. As one of them put it quite eloquently: “Guys. You are not a puppy, and my crotch is not your food bowl.”

I couldn’t put it better myself. Listen guys, you don’t want us chomping your cock off; don’t chomp down on our clit. You’re not slurping hot soup, you’re not gobbling down kibble, you’re basically licking and sucking a lollipop. And you can’t crunch down on it too early or we’ll crunch your face in.

Mistake Number 3: Noise

Now, this may just be my own personal pet peeve, so other women will have to weigh in on this; maybe I’m crazy, but I fucking hate when you guys sound like you are a zombie having the meal of his life out of my vag. Nothing kills my mood more than listening to you moaning and slurping and smacking around on it like you’re eating enchiladas. I understand that porn makes the whole sound effect seem like part of the package, but it’s NOT. Excessive jubilee over eating me out just sounds needy; like it’s the first and last time you’ll ever see a vagina before you die a horrible and gruesome death.

Mistake Number 4: Not Knowing When To Stop

The first couple times this happened, I thought it was a fluke, but it’s happened so many times I was actually horrified. Guys, when I start pulling BACK from your face and start scootching my ass in the opposite direction, it means GET YOUR FUCKING FACE OUT OF MY CROTCH BEFORE I CRUSH YOUR FUCKING SKULL. I understand you want to concentrate on what you’re doing, but when you’re in such a vagina feeding frenzy that you don’t feel my body moving away from you, you have bigger problems.

Also, grabbing my thighs and tearing me back towards your face, will result in immediate injury. And I mean, you will look like an anvil fucked you up six ways to Sunday.

I could tell a dozen more horror stories but my vagina’s just traumatized at the memory of these four.

Introductions

Let’s clear away some of my flaws just straight up in the first paragraph. I’m immature, I have unhealthy coping habits, I have unhealthy habits overall, and I am unnecessarily violent, angry, and vulgar. I am pretty much never politically correct. I am an exhibitionist. What that means is that I will get wasted out of my mind and proceed to plaster photos of myself all over the internet. Political career: not happening. Miss America: get real. Porn: now you’re talking.

I am very insensitive and in your face about everything. If I tell you I hate someone’s guts, you can bet your ass that I’ve said it to their face. It’s not shit talking if they know about it; at least that’s what I tell myself. I’m drunk as I write this, so god knows.

Sometimes I blame my attitude on alcohol that I haven’t even consumed. I also tell a lot of stories about people I’ve punched in the balls or the throat. I’d say 90% of them are true.

I get hate mail, on average, six to twenty-five times a month. I’d say most of it is from the same person, but fuck it if I know. I’d like to spew some shit about how haters are my motivators or “woo must be doing something right” but really when I get them I just take a shot of whiskey and shout “SAY IT TO MY FACE MOTHERFUCKER”. Does it affect me beyond that? No, not really. I just use it as an excuse to become excessively violent, but really I’m just violent by nature.

I’ve decided there is no such point as having a protected posting option. I will simply write whatever the fuck I feel like writing, and you can either be man enough to say how you feel to my face, or, get fucked. I’m fucking tired as fuck of asking myself who feels what about me because I hear different things from different people. Highschool never ends, blabla, I’m fucking dropping out right here and right now.

If you think I’m writing about you or tweeting about you… there’s a 95% chance you’re right, but really don’t flatter yourself because I’m just constantly looking for an excuse to spew hateful bile on the internet in hopes that people will think I’m as hilarious as I am fucked up.

I’ll feed the trolls if I feel like it will get me more views. And I’ll timestamp the ever loving shit out of posts JUST to piss people off.

I guess basically I’m everything that’s wrong with the internet, except I usually know how to type a coherent sentence.
