I am so excited. We (Teri Ciacchi, David W and I) just published our second podcast this week. And I got to do some of the technical work. What fun. Of course the Mac that David bought for our project and the software Garageband really made it easy. It's amazing how simple podcasting is.
What kind of podcast, you ask? We are doing a series of sex ed podcasts directed at those men we affectionately call, Weenie White Boys. The podcast is called Weenie White Boy World. Now I know some of you may bristle at the term, but face it, it is a world for weenie white boys (just look at our current administration) and there are a lot of men who could use some sex positive education so we're offering it.
Please check out the podcasts for yourself and let me know what you think. And, because we do know that the term Weenie White Boy is a bit loaded, we are looking for alternative (and just as catchy) names. Feel free to send me your suggestions.
So, enjoy the podcasts and tell me what you think.

On Writing
I realized recently that I'm not a bad writer. I had this weird story that because my spelling sucks (thank the Goddess for spellcheck) and my grammar sometimes is off that I really wasn't that good of a writer. Recently a few things have happened that made me realize that I'm actually pretty good.
The biggest thing was the acknowledgement I received from Robert Rubel, the editor of Power Exchange Magazine. He actually gave me a break on the deadline of my most recent article because he thought my work was so "clean". I guess that means he didn't have to edit it that much. And when I sent him my that article he wrote back "God you're a good writer. Thanks so much. I'm having a Fabulous Afternoon reading it". That made my day.
I guess it's time to admit it. I'm a good writer. So this week I started my second book (most of you don't know that I co-wrote a young adult science fiction novel in the mid 90's. Never published but a fun read). The book is evolving. I was going to write just about how to break up and remain in a loving relationship with your partner while doing so. I realized while working on the outline that loving break-ups (actually I don't even like the term break-up. Really it's just an altering of the relationship. I'll have to work on a better term) come from having a loving relationship that was structured from the beginning to last. And that changes in a relationship (ie: divorce, death, separation, etc) are inevitable and how we deal with those changes are up to us. The book was going to be called Happy Endings. That will be a large section of the book, but it won't be the whole book. I think now it's going to be about Beginnings, Middles and Endings.
I have a request for you, my readers. For those of you who have had positive relationship endings I'd love to hear about them. A short story about how you were able to maintain a good relationship through it all and what steps you took to make it so. Write me at ladysun333@comcast.net.
Thanks

Happy New Year!
Wow! It's a new year and a bright and exciting one at that. This is the time of year that I like to look at what I'm thankful for (I never make New Year's Resolutions, a waste of energy in my opinion). I have so much to be thankful for. Here's a partial list.
*My wonderful partners and poly family. You all know who you are.
*The amazing people in my life, too numerous to list. Kinky friends, Landmark friends, Wet Spot friends, Co-op friends, old cafe day friends, new friends, sex-education friends, even friends from my old hippie days all bring me joy and happiness.
*My bio family. I've been privileged to get to know mother (I didn't meet her until I was 19) as more than a mother, but as a good friend. My Aunt, my brothers, my sister and her amazing family, my step mother and her husband, Grandma and my incredible cousin, Veronica are all such important parts of my life.
*My job! Who else can say they are the executive director of a Sex Positive Community Center. No one. I am truly blessed.
*Erotic Seattle Education LLC that I share with Teri and Pan. We're getting ready to take the world by storm, beginning with Seattle and not stopping until we've covered the planet. :)
*Deciding to be a lifestyle coach. I can't tell you have fulfilling this has been. Knowing that I'm making a such difference in people's lives is thrilling.
*My Co-op. I live in the absolutely coolest co-op. It's inhabited by an eclectic group of Seattlites with the average age of, I'd say 75.
*My health. Goddess willing, it continues to be fine. Oh, I'm creaking and crackling here and there and I'd love to lose a bit of weight, but overall I'm happy and healthy and on my way to living to be 110.
*Those of you who read this blog. I'm always surprised when someone comes up to me and says, "I read your blog today". Not that what I write isn't worth reading, but that sending a post out into the "ether" is not always that personal and it's always a bit of a jolt to realize that others read what I write.
*Speaking of writing, I'm thankful that I've got several writing projects and friends who are going to keep at me to keep at it.
There's more that I'm thankful for, but I'll leave it at this for now.
I just want to say that I'm looking forward to 2007 and beyond. As it has been already said, "The best is yet to come."

December
Well, I'm never going to be much of a blogger and I won't promise to blog more often. However, I do pop in once and awhile and here I am tonight.
Just a short post about what I've been up to this month.
Let's see. I went on a cruise at the beginning of the month. My Mom turned 70 so my Aunt and I treated her to a cruise to Key West and Mexico. It was (to quote Dickens) "The best of times. It was the worst of times." Cruises are fun. Spending time with my Mom and Aunt was great. Pushing my Mom around in a wheelchair when her scooter broke, wasn't so great. Did I mention that Mom and my Aunt are both mobility challenged and brought scooters on the trip. Anyway, I'm living proof that you can lose weight on a cruise...I did.
Then, after I got back, I was sick for awhile. Did my best to catch up with work and friends before the holidays.
I had to make a deadline for the second article that I've written for a new magazine, called Power Exchange. I've been asked to write a monthly column on Activism. It's a bit daunting, but great fun. And it's getting me used to writing and that's very important, as I really want to finish one of my books this coming year.
Last week I went to my sister's in California to spend Christmas with her whole family, my Stepmother and Step Grandmother and my cousin, Veronica Monet (I think I've mentioned her before). First time since 1979. I was pretty apprehensive about going since it's been so long and I never got along well with my Stepmother. However, it turned out to be just great. I got to spend time with my niece's daughter (I'm a Grand Aunt...How cool is that?) and also get to know my Step Mother's current husband better. And one of my nephews is even moving to Seattle next month, so I got to talk to him about what to expect (and promise my sister to only introduce him to girls who want to move to California).
Then last Wednesday, after getting back in town Jim and I drove up to Vancouver to spend a belated Christmas with Jennifer and her daughter. It was the perfect capper to a great holiday.
Now I'm back in Seattle and getting ready for New Year's Eve at The Wet Spot.
I just realized that I haven't mentioned sex at all yet. Well, it's not been the most highly sexual month. People think that I get laid way more than I do. Lately, with pre-menopause and the holidays and a few other blips in my life, it's been pretty barren.
Oh, except for a great evening a few weeks ago with my boy, alex. He's such a "cat". Sometimes he's in the mood, sometimes he's not. This time he was. His masochist came out to play. At my request he wore sexy disposable clothing and after I tied him up over a spanking bench, I slowly cut off his clothes and bit, licked, spanked and caned each body part that I exposed. And that was just his warm up.
Later I had him on the bondage bed (we were at The Wet Spot after hours.) After beating his ass with his least favorite toy, I turned him over and played with his cock, wrapping it in his favorite leather cock ring and attaching it to my tens unit. Every time I turned up the tens unit he jumped and I sucked and kissed his cock. Pretty soon his pain and pleasure responses became all jumbled up. :) This got me super horny, so I climbed on top of him and he gave me a great orgasm while I continued to torture his penis.
Then the Grand Finale! Two needles through his nipples. Then the best part, cuddling and making him feel good again (he doesn't like needles).
Hmmm. That was a fun night.
So, where was I? Oh, New Year's Eve. The Wet Spot has a great party, complete with dancing, play, food, sparkling cider and noise makers. And that's when Jennifer and I bring in the New Year with our own special tradition. Right after midnight we find a cozy spot, grab our noise makers and give ourselves our first orgasms of the year. It's a noisy masturbation scene. Daddy (Jim) sits in a chair and watches with this proud smile that he gets when his girls are having fun together.
So, that's how I plan on ending 2006 and beginning 2007. What are you doing?

Masturbation
First of all, I want to acknowledged that I've been very remiss in posting (months have gone by...yikes). No excuses...I'm just not a regular blogger and probably never will be. However, at the request of several people in my life (hi Elliot) I am posting today.
Why masturbation? Well, there has been this new conversation that has occurred within my community about this very subject. I've actually been challenged by several Wet Spot members that our current policy against solo masturbation play is not very sex positive. And, upon reflection, these guys were right.
Last week I held a salon about Masturbation at the Liberty Bar on Capital Hill (the salon is part of an ongoing series that Teri Ciacchi and myself are producing through our small business, Erotic Seattle Education...more about that at another time.) The salons are our attempt to create and alter conversations about sexuality. The salon on masturbation was well received and sparked not only a great dialogue, but some ideas that we hope to bring to fruition in the future.
One of the ideas is to create a Coed Masturbation Group. Loosely base it on The Rain City Jacks and hopefully have at least one coed masturbation event a month at the Wet Spot. This is a huge departure from the norm. Getting women to attend will be problematic, however we've got some ideas to increase safety and reduce the "creep" factor. One is having strict guidelines around touching and non-masturbatory sex. By the way, I am open to suggestions, if anyone out there wants to pipe up.
We also are looking at creating more masturbation friendly spaces at our regular events. To stop "ghettoizing" masturbation by putting the Jack and Jill areas in tiny corners or closets.
I'm excited to be part of changing the culture and conversation about masturbation. I look forward to seeing our ideas flourish.
And, if you're interested, come to The Wet Spot's New Year's Eve Party and you'll see me and my girlfriend, Jennifer, bring in the New Year's in our traditional fashion (yes,it does involve masturbation).
Have a great day!
Oh, one last note. Candye Kane will be at the Wet Spot this coming Wednesday for one performance only. Not to be missed. You can get tickets at Brown Paper Tickets.

Guess Where I Am?
Wow, here I am sitting in a great little cafe in Oakland, waiting for a call from Tonya (a great friend of mine who also lives in Seattle and makes amazing fetish clothing) so we can to with her boy to see Tigers! Not many of you know, but I love big cats. In fact, if I met the right big cat . . . nah, shouldn't go there. Her boy used to work with an organization that takes care of "retired" tigers. I'm very excited.
Anyway, Tonya and I are in the Bay area for Folsom Street Fair, which happens tomorrow in San Francisco. Surprisingly, I've never been. All these year's I've been kinky and I haven't made it to the biggest leather fair in the country. So, today it's tigers, tonight it's a women's play party and tomorrow it's Folsom. Then it's on to Las Vegas to meet up with Jennifer where I'm going to show her the lights.
I'm on a real vacation. Hard to believe. And, while I'm ostentatiously not here for work, I can't help but promote the Seattle Erotic Art Festival or talk to strangers about The Wet Spot.
Last night we went to an art opening for Midori's newest work. And of course the first people I run into are a bunch of Seattlites. We met one of my favorite photographers and good friend, David Steinberg and his lovely friend Kim. From Midori's opening we went to a late dinner at a diner called Mels and then David and Kim took me to Divas, one of two transgender lounges in the country. That was an amazing experience. David has recently produced an incredible show of trans women who work at or frequent Divas. We hope to have him back in Seattle for the art festival and if we do, we also hope to get him a gallery show of his Trans work.
So far the trip has been fun and uneventful. I'm staying with a delightful
couple in the Oakland area (good friends of some good friends) so I'm meeting lots of new people. Even handed my card to a cute women in line at the coffee shop I'm in and I'm talking right now to a cute, non-kinky boy about Folsom. Life is good.
Well, got to go check e-mail.
Talk to you soon.

Wow! What a Labor Day week I had!
I am just now recovering from our yearly Labor Day camp out, The Gathering put on by The Wet Spot. It's probably one of the more labor intensive events we produce (next to the Seattle Erotic Art Festival) and it's one of the most fun.
We spend a full week at one of the sexiest and most spiritual venues imaginable. The Longhouse, where we hold the event has a pool, hot tubs, showers, flush toilets (very important) and the most beautiful grounds to camp and play in.
This year we had a few treats in store for our attendees. Besides feeding them all there meals (of which I was the Master Chef...well, Camp Cook), providing play space and workshops all week long we also had Gaia Consort play on Sunday night and Saturday and Sunday afternoons we had Lube Wrestling!!! Oh, my Goddess, what fun.
Tim, one of our board members came up with a great idea for a fund raiser. He proposed that he and I lube wrestle. While he's a lot smaller than me, he's also 20+ years younger than me and very physically fit. Of course I said yes. And of course I knew I'd kick is ass. There was some special conditions though. To make it a fund raiser, Tim had a bucket that he used to get donations in that said "Blindfold Allena" and I had one that said "Blindfold Tim". Then, mid week, when Tim and I were collecting lots of bills, some smart ass (thanks Marcus) came up with the idea of passing around a bucket that said "Blindfold Both". Needless to say, we both were blindfolded. I surprised him by also donning a strap-on, which unfortunately fell off before I could "pin" him. I have to say that I've never worked so hard is such a short time (3 2 minute rounds) and had so much fun. Nor have I ever hurt so much the next day. My muscles are still sore and that was over a week ago. But it was for a good cause, oh, and I did kick his ass. While I may never have pinned him, the Judges did find me the winner. Not bad for an old fat broad.
Anyway, if you missed The Gathering this year, or our naked lube wrestling, don't miss it next year.
Good night and Goddess Bless,

Je Joue
Wow! I had the greatest weekend. My partner Jennifer and my boy, alex both were at my place for the weekend. I wasn't sure how it was all going to turn out, but I didn't need to worry. The three of us got along quite famously. One of the highlights of the weekend was Friday night when I introduced alex to my newest toy, Je Joue. This is a vibrator for every geeky girl out there. It is programmable! It comes preloaded with ten "grooves" which are computerized programs that cause this little disc to move around, up and down and to vibrate. You can actually make up and download your own grooves. You can email them to a friend. It's amazing. It seems a bit pricey at first, but once you discover just what you can do with this, it's well worth the money. I haven't even hooked it up to the computer yet and I think it's wonderful. Now this is probably not going to be a get off quick toy. It's more of a wine, porn and in for the evening toy. And of course this can be purchased at my favorite sex toy shop, Babeland.
Friday alex used the Je Joue along with his talented fingers and hands to give me a most enjoyable evening. And that was just Friday.
I'll tell you about the rest of the weekend later. Needless to say, I had a great time and I'm still basking in the glow.
Good night!
Allena (I'm going to go play some more with my Je Joue.)

Altering the Conversation
I'm always thrilled when I hear words that I consider primarily those from my BDSM or Poly world used in totally non-sexual ways. I was watching the Daily Show tonight and John Stewart had the editor of the 2007 Guinness Book of World Records on. The editor was telling about how he timed some man who set himself on fire for three minutes and John said, "Did he have a safeword?" The guy laughed and said, " Well, I think ARRRRRRGGGGH was his safeword."

Victoria
I played hooky all day and went to Victoria with my dear friend (and former boi/partner) Casey. We had so much fun. We took the Clipper up from Pier 69 (got to love that number) and ended up sharing a table with some delightful folk. Alice and her daughter Karen and Rollie and his son, Nate were the most notable.
Alice who is 86 was in the Northwest visiting her daughter. She jokingly said that she was homeless, since she had sold her home and was traveling around from kid to kid and staying with them off and on. She didn't look much over 75 and acted even younger. She regaled me with stories of her travels to Alaska. It also turned her daughter and I had something in common. Her father was a bodyman (worked on cars) just like my father and Karen, like me had worked with her Dad sanding and masking cars. It was odd to meet someone around my age who had shared that little bit of life with me. Not many women in their 50's can claim to have masked and sanded cars.
Then there was Rollie and his son. Rollie was in Washington celebrating his 70th high school reunion. Wow. He said there were 30 people who were attending. Very impressive. We all chatted and I helped them open the Dramamine tablets (the tablets were almost impossible to get out of their little plastic containers. I was the hero of our table.). And of course I flirted with both of them, especially Rollie.
Then Casey and I spent the day wandering around Victoria. We went to shops, bookstores and great Tapas restaurant, an amazing chocolate shop ( Chocolat Chocolatiere de Victoria, 703 Fort Street, Victoria, BC V8W1G9, (250) 381-0131 ), watched guys blow glass and just had an all round super time. On the way back to the Clipper we watched this incredible artist using just cans of spray paint make the most awesome art. (I'll find his url and post it later)
Then, when we got back in line to go home, we ran into all of the folks we had met earlier and also a couple gay guys that Casey had met that morning.
After the Clipper pulled out of the harbor, things started getting very interesting. We save a seat for Rollie and Nate and four very funny women sat next to us. We all chatted and laughed (in fact later the gay guys told me the regretted not sitting with us because we were having way too much fun). Early on we started talking about sex, embarrassing one woman so much she actually got up for awhile when (they two guys weren't in on the intial conversation.) Then we chatted about other things and all of us flirted shamelessly with Rollie who was delightful and flirted right back at us.
Later in the trip, one woman (who seemed very sure of herself and whose just screamed Dominant) was telling us how she punched out a former husband when he slapped and we all agreed that any man who slapped a woman should be punched out. I said something about unless it was consensual and mentioned spanking. And the women who had left earlier when we were talking about sex, smiled at me and said "that's right" and then said she and her husband did that. She smiled even bigger and said " I may look like MaryAnn but have a lot of Ginger in me . . . " I immediately gave her my Wet Spot card and while I was at it gave one to the very cool woman who I was sure was a bit kinky and also before we left to the gay guys (one of them looked at the card and said, "Oh, I've been there").
Oh, and the highlight of my day was when Rollie (the 89 year old) leaned over the table and said that he liked me and that I was pretty. I was very flattered. I then asked him if he had any money and he said yes, so I asked him if how his "ticker" was. He said it was great. I told him I was looking for a guy with money and a bad ticker so it probably wouldn't work between us. I also told him that I had enough long distance romances, otherwise I'd get his number. It was all very cool.
The point of this rambling travelogue with that I'm constantly amazed how often I run into sex-positive people in the most non-sexual places. I've learned that if I'm just myself, opportunities naturally arise to talk about who and what I am and do.
Goddess, I love my life.
So, tomorrow it's back to work and working out and moving forward. I'll post later this week about the newest addition to my sex toy bag. The most expensive vibrator I've ever encountered.
For now, it's good night and Goddess Bless.

Playing with the boys
This weekend I am a judge at the Washington State Leather Sir/Leather boy/Bootblack contest and tonight was their meet and greet at The Cuff (a local gay leather bar). I was one of just a handful of women who was at the event. The majority of the attendees were gay men, mostly gay leathermen. I felt like a pig in slop.
What is it with gay men (or those who identify as gay men) and women's tits? Or women's crotches for that matter. I had more hands and mouths on my breasts that at any other public function I've ever been to except for a meet and greet at another contest year's ago at the Seattle Eagle. And the gropes and grabs and . . . well, lets just say that my tits and cunt both are a little sore from the attention they got. And this was just at a bar. There are two especially fine young men that kept me pretty well occupied. Tony Buff, Washington State Leather 2002( scroll down to see his picture) and his nasty boy, Lawerence both had their way with me (well as much as you can in a bar) and if I have my way, one of these days I'm going to spend a few hours of private time with them and let them have more of their way with me. Damn, what fine sexy men. And that was just two of at least six wonderful men who I "played" with tonight. My hands were tied behind my back, I was punched, pinched, bit, had strawberry mousse licked off my tits and fondled and kissed all evening long. I love judging contests.
I was going to go to The Wet Spot women's night afterward, but I decided to just come home and bask in the glow of the attention I got from the guys.
And tonight was just the meet and greet. Tomorrow is the contest and I'm wearing something slinky and sexy and I'm sure there will be more chances to play with the boys.
I keep forgetting just how much fun they are. I think I'll make more trips to The Cuff in the future.
Good Night!

Happy Solstice!
Well, actually Happy Day After Solstice.
I'm writing this from a small coffee shop in Cle Elum, Washington. Cle Elum is a small town barely east of the Cascades with a population of 1700+ and and elevation of 1900+. The coffee shop, Pioneer Coffee is obviously the happening place in Cle Elum. A mixture of old and young hippies, housewives, farmers and local business men and the odd young tattooed cutie that would look more in place on Capitol Hill. It also has great coffee!
Why am I here?
Every year, for the last 9, I've been the caterer for the Women's Summer Solstice weekend. 120-150 pagan women of all types join to celebrate Summer Solstice, and I've (along with my amazing crew) have had the great honor of feeding them.
I got this gig when I had my cafe and have continued in spite of no longer being in the food business. It's not only my way of staying in touch with my chef side, but also nurturing my need to give back by providing food to people.
Someday I'll tell you more about this (I hate my laptop keyboard) but mostly I just wanted to wish you all a Happy Solstice.

Changing the Conversation
I just had an incredible discussion with a group of my Landmark Education cohorts. I'm doing the Wisdom Course and we have weekly meetings, either in person or by phone to do coursework and to socialize.
One of the distinctions of the Wisdom Course is how our life is a series of conversations and who we are in the world and how we "be" in the world is from the conversations that others in our life have about us. Also, altering conversations can be life altering both on individual and global scales.
That was what tonight's conversation was about. Globally how we can alter the world just by putting a conversation into existence. We were talking about The Hunger Project started in the 70's, which has altered how the world relates to hunger, but it struck how my and others conversations about sex and sex-positivist has altered our world.
Fifteen years ago, when I came into this community the term sex-positive wasn't even in use. Or if it was, it was used minimally. Even 10 years ago when I had my cafe, it wasn't being spoken and just in the last 7 years, with the beginning of The Wet Spot, with a change in sexual awareness, the term is now everywhere and being used by more than the sex-positive community. I really do feel that by people like me, changing the conversation about sex, we have altered how our world is viewing sexuality.
Oh, I know, some of you are thinking, well, what about the religious right? The current administrations overly zealous prosecution of porn web sites? I think this is just part of it. It's the push back that's to be expected when culture shifts. If it wasn't shifting there wouldn't be such attention to it. Like I mentioned in an earlier post, media, advertising, etc has become more and more sexual and sex positive.
My challenge to everyone is to change the conversation. Don't be afraid to speak your truth about sexuality. I know that when I speak frankly and without shame about who I am and what I do in this world, I don't get negative reactions. I believe that's because I am changing the conversation.

New York, New York
Well, here I am in New York City for the Leather Leadership conference. Actually I'm a few days early. My partner Jennifer, Tim, one of my polymolecule and a Wet Spot board member and myself all arrived a few days early to see the sights and experience The Big Apple. Jennifer and Tim have never been here before and the best part of the trip has been watching them discover how amazing New York really is.
I'm not going to say much, but rather direct you to Jennifer's blog which tells a bit of our adventure so far. And it has been an adventure. In just over 24 hours we have been in 3 rooms and have gone from a tiny crackerbox to a deluxe room with a view of the Empire State Building. Between an overflowing toilet in one room, a shower that had only two temperatures in the next and several other annoying incident we got one hell of an upgrade.
Yesterday was Greenwich Village, Time Square and changing rooms. Today was another room change, Central Park, Ground Zero and an Off-Off Broadway play about Alice and Wonderland. Tomorrow the Empire State Building, China Town, MOMA, the Sex Museum and then the conference starts.
I'll post more later. I hate my keyboard on my laptop so I'm going to keep this short. I've got a lot to talk about and will start posting more, I promise (yeah, sure you say...but I will).

The Blahs
I have so much to do and I just don't have any impetus to do anything today. I just wasted a couple hours watching the movie Nightwatch. A Russian Vampyre Horror movie with subtitles and the weirdest most convoluted plot I've ever seen. It was unintentionally funny. We laughed so much that the guy in front of us glared at us a few times. I love the Russian language so that part was great and there was this really cool big yellow truck that they used to get around in that was very sexy (Have I told you about my heavy machinery and big rig fetish?)
Overall, though, the movie was horrible. However, it was an excuse to spend time with one of my best friends, Porgie (he calls me Bess, I call him Porgie….you figure that out). He's one of those people who when they call, if I can I drop what I'm doing and do whatever with him. He called today at
Porgie, by the way, is one of my best friends and if he wasn't gay would probably be one of my partners. We are celebrating our March birthdays next week. He's a Pisces and I'm and Aries and we've been friends since I owned my café in 1995. He and I used to sit outside the café and rate guys. 1-10. Sometimes we were really bad and would play "Studs or Scuds". Remember the Scud missiles of the first Gulf War, well, if someone looked good they'd get a Stud, but sometimes as they got closer we'd realize they were a Scud, since they didn't really hit the mark. I know, not very cool, but silly and fun and we never said anything where anyone else would hear us. Rude but not insensitive.
So, that's what I do when I have the blahs…go to bad movies, waste time playing stupid games like Invadazoid (some Invader type game I got off Comcast.net) and wait for my Daddy,
I'll get my work done tomorrow; if I get rid of the Blahs.
Daddy just walked in the door. Yea!!!

Kissing and Touching
I had an opportunity the other day to be part of a kissing booth at a Kinky Carnival held at The School of One. What an amazing experience. Last year I was part of the kissing booth and I had quite a bit of fun, but nothing really profound happened. Well, this time was different.
I had the opportunity to kiss a few people who seemed to be totally touched and moved by the experience of kissing me. What an odd occurrence. I had chosen to be fully present while kissing each individual and giving it 150%. To see if that would make a difference in how my experience in the booth went. Well, believe me, it worked. I actually had someone in tears after a kiss. Another looked at me with a touch of wonder in his eyes and thanked me for kissing him. It was obvious that something had happened that was not intended. I had tapped into something primal and moving.
Now, I imagine that the men and women I kissed, for the most part, got turned on or aroused in some way, because I'm a great kisser and a pretty sexy old broad, if I don't say so myself. However, this was different than getting turned on. This was deeper, more at the core of what kissing and touch are all about. This was about intimacy not sexuality, per say.
It amazes me to think that something as simple as a kiss can have such a profound affect on a person. That even something simpler as a touch, caress, a cuddle can mean the difference between a life fully lived and one of just existence. This explains the popularity of Cuddle Parties (or Snuggle Parties as they are called in some parts of the country). An opportunity for people to just touch; non-sexual, non-threatening and totally life affirming.
I have to keep reminding myself that others aren't as blessed as I am. Not only do I have a poly family that nourishes me, I have others in my life who also feed my soul. I have an incredible bio family, a huge and wonderful chosen family, a beautiful home and a fabulous and rich life.
The experiences I've had over the last few weeks, the kissing booth, going to Southplains Leatherfest, enjoying the company of my boy, my close friends, my bio brothers and just living a full and rich life only serve to remind me that part of my calling in this world is to make the type of life I have accessible to others. A huge blessing and an even huger responsibility.
Here's to kissing and touching (of the physical kind) and to touching others and truly making a difference in this world.

Compersion
Compersion n: The feeling of taking joy in the joy that others you love share among themselves, especially taking joy in the knowledge that your beloveds are expressing their love for one another. Coined by the Keristan Commune in San Francisco whyich practiced Polyfideltiy.
What an amazing concept. I’ve heard compersion defined as the opposite of jealousy and that works, too.
I’m at South Plains Leatherfest this weekend presenting on two topics, BDSM and Humor and Polyamory. Yesterday my BDSM and Humor workshop we4nt over well (another posting perhaps) and today my Polyamory class was a huge hit. As usual I come away from these workshops having gained as much as I give.
Much of what I said has been said before and many of the participants were already active poly, so much of my workshop was ‘preaching to the choir’, so to speak. But when I brought up ‘compersion’ as usual it was a concept that few had heard of. I’m always amazed that a concept so profound and of such importance to those in the poly lifestyle is still so obscure.
As I talked about comparison and how it manifests in my life I was thrilled to see the participants eyes light up. I’d hit on something big. One woman who had seen my family at Leather Leadership two years ago in New Orleans shared that not only had she been impressed by Jennifer and I cuddling under a blanket during the weekend, but that she had been profoundly touched to witness my watching of Jim suspending Jennifer and how it was very obvious how much in love I was with both of them. She was obviously moved by the retelling and I was even more moved by her sharing.
As I’ve mentioned before, we never know when our lives touch others, I was thrilled that someone had witnessed me in the midst of compersion.
After the workshop I had several people come up to me just to give me a hug or to thank me and offer to me that I had already made a difference in their life.
Wow, how cool is that?
Well, I’m off to the dungeon party to play with a very cool gay Top who is an expert with singletails. Lucky me.
