Shibari Swing

You’ve all seen a sex swing. It’s harder to set up than a bicycle, but it’s way more fun! Talking about fun, try hiring a contractor to install the damn thing. They’ll believe you’re some kind of Hugh Heffner wannabe. Anyway, what I wanted to tell you about is how much better a Shibari swing…

I’m an old-fashioned man, I’ve got to tell you. I like to be a gentleman with my woman and give her gifts, not because I’m buying them or anything like that, but because I want them to know how special they are to me. And I like my women to be the way women used…

Shibari Taught Me to Be Vulnerable

It was horrible. It was worse than my worst nightmare. And it was the moment when Shibari taught me to be vulnerable. My husband and I were coming back from a night at the cinema—you know, one of those “let’s get away without the kids and remember how it used to be” kind of nights.…

Mr. Mckenna

I should say Harry. Or, maybe, my husband Harry; or my hubby Harry, which sounds fun. But he would never allow me to refer to him in such an “indecent” manner. He is Mr. Mckenna, lawyer, father, and patriot. And even at the family table, our five sons and I must address him in that…
