NOT SO SHRIMP DICK!

NOT SO SHRIMP DICK!

It never ceases to amaze me how one person can spend almost their entire life with someone and still learn new things about them every day. It’s been almost 20 years of entanglement with my long-standing on-again, off-again partner O. We officially met on a sunny afternoon shortly after I turned 18. I’d notice him checking me out over the past four years since I moved to 1st Avenue, but my…

The Gray Side!

There comes a time when one realizes that they are officially getting old.  I realized that not only was I getting old, but my southern parts had officially crossed over to the gray side. I started waxing almost a decade ago. Not only was it less of a headache to keep clean razors around, but it also helped me have fewer outbreaks brought on by the microtears using a razor would cause. Over the…

My Covid Experience

Head over to TalesOfToney.com to read the full story.

It would be my luck that a white-lie becomes my reality.  If you read my last post of 2021, you know I vehemently despised my then job. A potential company asked me to do a project to show the Friday before Christmas, and I wanted a day to get it done. On Wednesday, I started playing the “I don’t feel well” card to call out fake-sick on Thursday. I stayed up late on Wednesday, and when I woke up…

2021, WHEW! IT'S BEEN QUITE A YEAR!

2021, WHEW! IT’S BEEN QUITE A YEAR!

First, I want to apologize to all my readers for not being consistent. I know I ain’t shit, and I must do better. With so many new and positive things to talk about in 2022, I plan to give you non-stop me. Forewarning, the content going forward won’t be as juicy as it once was. Not only has pandemic dating proven to be an extremely unenjoyable pain in my ass; I just don’t care to invest time into…

MY ME TOO. AND SOME OTHER SHIT

MY ME TOO. AND SOME OTHER SHIT

From Behind The Glitter Curtain: An Erotic Memoir is Available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and AppleBooks It had never occurred to me to see myself as a victim. On some level, we have been conditioned to see victims as a clear black and white line. However, in this new era, and growth of the “Me too” movement, and the understanding of spectrum behavior, I realized that I too have been in many me…

I NEVER SAID NOTHING ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE

I NEVER SAID NOTHING ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE

From Behind The Glitter Curtain: An Erotic Memoir is Available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and AppleBooks Ever since I made my profiles public to allow more people to find my blog and book, I’ve received a flood of friend requests from strangers. For the past three years, I’ve found myself blocking the variety of faces that came across either my phone or computer screen. So, it would only make…

I WONDER...

I WONDER…

Sometimes I wonder, how different my life would’ve been if certain things had gone differently. I know we often like to think that we have total control over our lives, and some believe that we have no control at all (what is meant to be will be). But a part of me believes that I may have been in a different place than I currently am if certain things hadn’t happened. And the clinker is, there is…

REPRESENTATION MATTERS. HERPES IS NO EXCEPTION. From Behind The Glitter Curtain: An Erotic Memoir changes that!

AMAZON, Apple Books and Barnes & Noble.

All too often we are the punch-line of jokes. These jokes never show who we are as people living with herpes, just that we have it. Waiting for a celebrity to go public about having herpes, so the world can know that "it's not a death sentence." has lead to many waiting in vain.

We are not toxic, we are simply human. I wrote From Behind The Glitter Curtain: An Erotic Memoir as a way for people to see that we are human, we have family, friends, careers, and emotions. We go on dates, we fall in and out of love, we have great sex, and we have herpes.

For many years I didn't live my truest self because I was afraid of the stigma, the fear of rejection, or being outed. Through lots of trial and error and realizing that dating, regardless of your status is a rocky road I learned to re-love myself, my journey, and my status.

I wrote this book as a real-life template for those struggling after their diagnosis. I wrote it for the sex-positives that never seem to mention herpes in their activist works. I wrote this for those who know nothing about herpes but want to read juicy sex-stories. I wrote this for those dating and having a difficult time. I wrote this for anyone that just wants an honesty good read.

COMPLEX ASS INDIVIDUAL

2019 was a fantastic year for my new-found and lived identity. From three romantic partners and amazing sexual encounters, I explored more of my sexuality, mentality, and emotions. In this everchanging society of sexualities and titles, the world can become a very confusing place. It took me years to finally accept my desire for women, but I still struggle with my attraction level for the women…

MONOGAMY SAVED MEN, NOT WOMEN

MONOGAMY SAVED MEN, NOT WOMEN

Being in the poly community, it’s common to hear men say, “I want multiple wives.” Even before I became poly, men often said it to make themselves seem more masculine or like they could get all the bitches. For decades, men minimized the responsibility of having multiple wives to only meet their sexual desires. But when those very same men were asked if they could afford those wives, they often…

POLYAMORY CHANGES

It’s been almost two years since I’ve been living a polyamorous love-style, and it has still been one of the best decisions I’ve made in a very long time. When I look back and evaluate what has made living poly so unique, one word comes to mind, change.  Many things have changed since I’ve begun living poly, and the master change has been my expectations and “rules.” When I was living…

CAN I TRADE IN MY BOX?

CAN I TRADE IN MY BOX?

As I approached the end of 2020, my vagina was on the fritz. After attending a swinger party in October, having my guts made into soup, and my body contorted beyond its limit, I needed a break. I was ragged, and my old faithful friend BV had come back for a visit. I took my meds and gave my body time to heal. For Thanksgiving, I had sex with my guy and, once again, my pussy was hell on the…

FEEL THE VIBRATIONS

There was a period when it was challenging for me to sleep. I would lay in bed, tossing and turning for hours, then a few hours before the sun was to come up, would I finally go to sleep. This was my hell for many years until I found my battery-operated melatonin. VIBRATORS. There’s nothing I love more than moisturizing my skin after a nice hot shower, getting under my covers, and riding an…

2020. WHAT A F*CKING YEAR!

2020. WHAT A F*CKING YEAR!

2020 promised to be a year of wonder, money, and new possibilities. Then, sadly corona came and shut all that shit down. But before all the mayhem began, there were a few good times and a few fun posts that I wrote.  In, Maybe This Hoe Life Isn’t For Me, I questioned if being so sexually free was a good or bad thing. No, I didn’t second-guess my actions because society made me; it was my own…

SEX! IT'S A FUCKING WORKOUT

SEX! IT’S A FUCKING WORKOUT

Sex is serious work. A few weeks ago, I went to a sex-party with my guy, and boy did we put on a show. Despite my content, I’m not always sexual, but at parties, for some reason, my levels increase, and I low-key become a porn star. My nails and toes are always done, and I carefully plan my outfit. I chat it up with the people I know, and I play into the innocent school-girl vibe for strangers. I…

B!TCH, YOU TRIED IT!

BITCH, YOU TRIED IT!

When I decided to start my blog, my purpose was to create a shared emotional outlet. When I began divulging my sexual exploits, I strapped on my seatbelt and got ready for the ride. When I made public my herpes status, I braced for impact. I knew very early that my views and progressive ideas about sexuality, sexual health, and inclusion would not be popular, and I didn’t care. I stopped caring…

THANK YOU. I LOVE YOU. I WILL MISS YOU

THANK YOU. I LOVE YOU. I WILL MISS YOU

On Friday, I got the call from my mom that my father passed; I didn’t know how to feel. I know how I should feel, but the reality is “that” feeling feels ingenuine. I remember seeing my father a total of two times, once when I was 18 and the other time, last year at my cousin’s wedding. You see, my father left before I turned one, and when he reached out to me later in life, the time apart…
