This is a response to Daisy Dexter Dobbs Blog entry on the difference between erotica and porn, which is a fascinating read. I have to say that I agree with Daisy’s assessment of porn – almost. She said : These stories offer sex without the necessity of a plot, a romance or a committed relationship. […]

It’s Thursday. Nearly another whole week out of the way and another week where I’ve not achieved even close to half the things I wanted to get done. No website updates, hardly any blogging done, hardly any blogging read, and I can’t even blame Football Manager 2005 because I haven’t been playing that either. And […]

Firstly, as I’ve already said, “Six thirty Sleeper” was accepted at Ruthie’s. Big Yay! I really do like that story. Second, I posted a revised revision of […]

Yesterday, at around 3 in the afternoon, by a curious quirk of fate, I had three friend requests from three attractive looking young ladies, two blondes and a brunette, all of whom were named Kayla, although one of them spelt it differently.
