For a very long time, from my first ever climax to approximately two years ago, orgasms came easily. I rarely struggled to come, and there were times I was able to do so quickly when I wanted to, both with my partner and without. It was also relatively easy for me to time them, to...

Bath
It's been a month since I've been able to have a bath. I am missing it terribly, in part because I love being in water, and in part because it was one of the very few ways I had to rest other than lying in bed. It's also been a month of extreme stress, wondering... Continue Reading →
Radiation
I know that this is not strictly within the rules, as it is not an erotic image, but this is where I was today and is at least 50% of my life at the moment. Maybe more.

The truth is, I looked at everyone else’s amazing work and I didn’t feel... Continue Reading →
Today
CW: mental health/suicide I have days, with this disease, when I feel deeply suicidal. When the frustration and pain and loss is all too much, and I feel so low that I begin to wonder if the dysfunction in my body is reaching my brain, turning my synapses against me and making me self-destruct horribly,...

I am not ok
I am so very not ok. This is not going to be a fun or popular post. I have been dreading writing it for weeks, hoping that waiting might make it go away. The truth is, I was beginning to feel some measure of hope again, gradually building towards a slow but meaningful and connected... Continue Reading →
Scream
Sometimes I don't have words to describe how I feel. (The story behind this photograph is here).
