barriers, plastic and mental

On the heels of the 4th of July, here's a reason to prolong celebration. I've a new piece on Filthy Gorgeous Things. This month the theme of the issue is Barriers, and my piece, "Golden Ring," explores my itsy-bitsy clit, some mental blocks and my genital piercing. It's fun for the whole family, as long as the whole family is over 18 and not above intimate rubber-necking. And preferably not having this fun together, because, wow, creepy.

Here's an excerpt (I can't figure out why the line spacing is being so funky; please forgive it and me):

I don’t come easily, or reliably, or sometimes at all. Looking back at my history, I realize that have shouldered the responsibility for my truculent orgasms. I have blamed my head, my heart and, most often, my clit. I have a tiny, tiny clit. Blink and you’ll miss it, ditto if you move your finger or your tongue one centimeter to the left, to the right, to the north, to the south. It’s a finicky, petulant, churlish clit. It’s a bitch of a clit, and I’ve oft called it my Greta Garbo clit for its beauty, bitchiness and reclusiveness.

So small and so perfect my clit, so pert and pretty sitting like a tiny pearl in a darling oyster, so often missed, so frequently elided in darkling fumblings that in 1993 I chose to mark it. I chose, in fact, to pierce its hood. 

I think the piece is open and free, so you should get your tanned hide over to FGT, read it, and then hit your browser's "back" button to leave a comment here telling me how wonderful I am because I'm a bit parched for praise.

I'm trying to write more, I really am. My friend read my cards and says I need to write. So I shall endeavor to, for if you can't trust a gypsy, whom can you trust?

In the meantime, feel free to enjoy the meanderings of my mind on Twitter. I love followers, though I may not lead. Just walk beside me and be my friend.

They were the wrong guys.

[chelsea g.]

Yeah, they were.

[Tech Guy]

I haven't checked in in ages and your latest is still good.

Amazing.

Do keep it up.

I am so glad you are writing more! I was forever sad staring at the dockers picture... although I completely agree with the packaging of something tipping the balance between fucking someone or not. While mine wasn't intriguing tight purple low rise bikini underwear, I couldn't help but be undone by an ass perfectly presented in tight simple black boxer briefs upon my first encounter. Regarding praise, as you deserve some, and by some I mean copious, heaping amounts, your writing inspires intelligent well prosed dirty thoughts. You are elegant, shocking, and purely delightful to read. On behalf of all the well educated, charm school graduates, I say thank you for using your brain to write about sexual experience and give voice to a generation of women.

Well, gosh, thank you, Tech Guy and Rachel. I appreciate your writing and giving praise. I'm a writer--and a person--who needs feedback, or I'm lost in the dark woods of my own mind. Your taking the time to tell me your reactions is incredibly lovely.

God, I love this. There is nothing like what you write anywhere else. Reading what you write is one of my life's pleasures. It's exquisite.

I loved and lived your post. While I have not taken the plunge of piercing as of yet, I have one of those coy, illusive clitoris' as well. While the fun is in the journey, and having a partner excited and willing to do the work to get you there is incredibly rewarding, sexy, and all around awesome, I yearn for a shortcut. You know, to make the quickie all the more rewarding, to have my man feel like the sex god he rightfully is, and who doesn't need a few more orgasms in their life anyway. Perhaps the brass ring is *just* out of reach, but the gold ring will do the trick.

In any case, those men folk are generally intimidated by a women folk's overt sexuality, as I'm sure you know. It is just their way. The same men are reticent to include sex toys in their love making (or fucking) for the same reasons. "Am I not enough?" Yes, honey, you are enough, I'm with the man not the organ, but wouldn't you like the option to crank it to eleven sometimes?

I've never commented before, but I love your writing, your style, and your balls deep unapologetic honesty on the barest of issues. So please do write more. Ive followed you since near the beginning and have read each and everyone of your posts. I dig it.

Gosh, your story made me miss my clit ring!
