And local favorites: LadyMonster- I write about my life and I write it as it happens, without being afraid of letting others know the intimate details. Most of my writing is about my sexuality and sexual experiences. I believe that bedroom doors should be open. Understanding occurs when we throw off the covers, turn on the lights and begin expressing and talking about our desires, experiences and fears. Face the truth, and talk about your fantasies. Don't be afraid to explore your imagination and new paths. The power and experience of your sexuality is limitless.
