In theory, developing an in-person relationship with a new lover with Sugar Daddy energy would be perfect for me. My husband and I are openly non-monogamous, he often travels for work, and I have bills to pay and love to share. So earlier this week, I found a few “dating” sites specifically designed for Sugar Daddies/Mommas to find Sugar Babies (also of both sexes – hooray for GLBTQ progress) and signed up for the two with the most interesting combination of features. After a brief flurry of activity, this letter arrived in my brain: Dear Galiana in 2011, Remember when you developed a fantastic long-distance BDSM relationship with a Dom over about six months, met him in person, it was awesome, then tried to quickly [read more...]

Tour Guide called me yesterday after reading my blog entry about accepting my Inner Whore. He told me he’d had high-class call girls before, and had some wonderful experiences, how he truly enjoys the company of a beautiful woman for dinner, and for carnal delights afterward. And he told me about manipulative women in his life, “princess types” in his words, who toyed with him to maximize the number of dinners and shows they could extract. I hate that kind of entitlement mentality. I hate that kind of sexual manipulation. It gives women a bad name. Men should be worth more than their wallet to you. Women should be worth more than their pussy. But those kinds of games reduce us to that, and it disgusts [read more...]

I think “Dirty Reader” is going to be the one to help me accept and love my Inner Whore. (background: why I’m referring to part of myself in third person here, and what I’ve already written about sluts and whores here) Before we begin, let me perfectly clear: I am clearly pro-sex. I am clearly pro-sex-workers. I have long been fascinated by phone sex operators, strippers, and prostitutes. I think sex work can be an empowering, fulfilling career choice. And I think paying for sexual activities can be a healthy choice. It can be a perfectly valid hobby, not a bad use of entertainment funds. But even as a means of sexual gratification, I can see lots of scenarios where employing a readily available professional can be [read more...]

There’s an old joke I’ve known forever, retold to me by “New York Guide” approximately like this: A gentleman is pursuing a lady, and they date for a while, but she refuses to give in to his sexual advances. He starts to offer her things in exchange for her physical affections: dinners, dresses, jewels, and she finally acquiesces when he offers her a fur coat. At the fur store, she picks an extravagant full-length mink, and he suggests perhaps a rabbit stole, or maybe just $1,000 cash. Shocked, she asks, “What do you think I am, a whore?” And he replies, “Well, yes, we’ve already established that, I was just haggling.” I have always had contempt for women who sell sex without being willing to [read more...]
