Short Hiatus

Posted in Uncategorized on January 12, 2012 by TarnishedHalo

Hey all,

I’m going to have to take a short break from writing (like another week or so). School with my work is really kicking my butt, but one of my jobs ends next week so I’m hoping to squeeze in a little time to write after that. I would love to hear some ideas for articles in the comments section.

Love,

Complete Shibari Volume 1: Land by Douglas Kent Book Review

Posted in Book Reviews, Kink, Safety with tags , , , on January 8, 2012 by TarnishedHalo

I’ve decided that the time is right for another book review. This time I’m going to review a book that has become and invaluable resource for my partner and I when learning to use rope. Even after a good chunk of time working with rope and moving on to more difficult ties, we still refer to this book on a frequent basis because it is simply that good. Douglas Kent’s Complete Shibari Volume 1: Land is one of the best books for those interested in learning to tie Japanese style rope that has ever been written. Read more »

Posted in Dating, Sex with tags , , on January 6, 2012 by TarnishedHalo

Have you ever noticed that we’re taught that we’re supposed to wait until we’re married to have sex and after marriage, the running joke is that no one has sex anymore? A 2001 survey conducted by Durex suggested that unmarried couples have sex an average of 146 times per year, while married couples have sex only 98 times per year. Clearly, after marriage sex becomes less of a priority. Today I want to talk about why it’s important to keep your sex life active, even after you say “I do”. Read more »

Have you ever wondered why people use blindfolds in the bedroom? Sensory deprivation is an entire category of kinks but is very easily incorporated into a vanilla relationship. Even something as simple as a blindfold can add a whole new dimension to your sex life. It can be erotic, terrifying, and exciting all at the same time. Let’s talk about how. Read more »

Today is going to be a double post day. This first post is for all of you that are just starting the venture into the kink world or somehow just stumbled upon my blog and found you liked reading it.

Have you ever sat down and thought about all of the things that make “bad girls” bad? I’m going to guess not, but if I were to bring up some of these following suggestions to you, you would tell me that those aren’t things that “good girls” do.

Icicles No. 24 Toy Review

Posted in Sex, Toy Review with tags on December 17, 2011 by TarnishedHalo

I’ve come across another toy that is finally worth reviewing here. Icicles No. 24 is a glass dildo made by Pipedream. It has one of the most unique shapes that I have ever found but definitely caused a bit of a laugh between my partner and I. This toy is all about texture and it certainly doesn’t let you down on that front. Read more »

Posted in Communication, Dating, Sex with tags on December 16, 2011 by TarnishedHalo

Do you remember how you felt at the very beginning of your relationship? That time when you were trying to impress your partner, when you bought them flowers or cooked them dinner? How often do you get that feeling six months into the relationship? Probably not as often anymore. We’re all guilty of it. We become comfortable in our relationships and stop trying. For some reason we forget that the person they fell in love with was the one from the beginning of the relationship. I have good news for you though, it’s easy to get that excitement back. We’re going to talk about some ways to put that spice from the beginning back into the relationship. And since we all know today’s economy is in the, well you know what, we’re going to go with ways that won’t clean out your bank account. Read more »
