being bisexual, for women

I am teaching this class on Monday, this gives you plenty of time. Mark your calendars now and think over the weekend about any specific questions you may have of me. See you in class and don't forget your notebook for pen for note-taking, you'll be disappointed otherwise.

Bi Curious? Where to Start For Girls Who
Want To Date Girls

The Love Nest 4687 Kingsway Burnaby, BC
Tickets $25, at the door

Making the move from bi-curious to bisexual can be a tough one. This workshop will cover the basics on dating for bisexual women. Tips on finding the right woman and on what to do when you find one will be on the list things we discuss. We will cover some tricks for writing that personal ad or finding the events and places to meet other bi-women.

We will also discuss etiquette used when dating women...because so many of us are used to dating only men. Often, bisexual women have male partners and whether, when, or even if they are included in your bisexual experiences will also be covered.

and the living is easy...

Summer time and the living is easy...

Tonight is all about packing.

We are going out of country camping and my daughter is taking flight for Mexico.

And while we're away, Libido Lounge gets it internal work completed.

I love summer.

a little morsel

Tomorrow workers will embark upon the construction aspects of the new Libido Lounge. No volunteer help this time round from anyone who is not a paid tradesman until we open for business to our member base.

The new space will leave you breathless with it's obvious suitability and accessibility.

Those who are looking for more information will just have to wait a short while longer as we are revealing nothing about Libido Lounge, it's new location or sudden growth spurt until we are good and ready. [it is fair to say that due to the amount of support received over the Surrey City disaster we were able to do something remarkable]

The clothing line goes to the printers soon, by goodness there is just so much going on.

withdrawal

I quit consuming caffeine 7 long months ago now. I say long months, but rather it wasn't really that long, just the first few weeks where I struggled a little, and now not so bad at all. To confess I do still now and again have a longing for a caffeine jolt, especially with the pace I keep. It was necessary to stop though and an excellent decision for my physical health, and sleep patterns.

This weekend I let go of another vice while I'm away camping. I hope it's as easy.

my Saturday

Every now again, a Saturday happens that is just a blast.

Yesterday was spent lounging around the house after I finally rolled out of bed and RC's arms late morning, or rather, right before noon. There is nothing better than a rainy day on the sofa, naked in a quiet house.

A few days past we had agreed that today from 5:00 pm till bedtime RC was all MINE, to do with as a I wished! He baked delicious chocolate chip cookies, rubbed my feet with lotion, devoured my pussy and then made dinner for us. He spoiled me rotten for a few hours at home as was needed.

Earlier in the week we'd been out together and I'd spotted a shiny black & silver waist cincher with matching panties that screamed for my attention. After a long-hot soak in the tub, and some girl time in-front of a mirror, I donned the new outfit and TADA, we were ready to head out to the party.

I'd been planning some play with my guy for a few days now, but of course he knew nothing about my intentions. Arriving at Rascals it was nice to have quieter evening on the dungeon floor, as it gave me more options of equipment to choose from for our impending scene.

Sitting about for awhile we were able to talk with but a few of the peeps who were around us. Deej was having a blast, Gloria was stunning, Sandy and Sandi were both there, Scarlet had on the teeniest skirt, it was Zorkluns birthday, Deeva was bold, Frank handsome, Keith was there, Gypsy was all smiles....oh my...too many people to even catch up with on an evening when my plan was to play.

Out on the dungeon floor, I choose for our time together a long bondage table. After having RC remove his clothes for me, I spent a moment examining his body and admiring the locked cage covering his jewels. He "assumed the position" for me and with him on all fours, I started to make my way through the implements toys that I'd packed in my toy trunk for this evenings festivities.

Slap, Slap.

Twist, Twist, Bite, Bite.

Bite, Pinch.

Whack, Whack.

Bite, Pinch, Slap, Twist, Whack.

Oh yeah......I love being mean to him. The impact part of our play that is, not emotionally, just physically.

What fun I had beating up the boy, then right at the end...when it looked as though he could take no more. He finally laid still on the table, submitting to my actions and the resulting sensations as they washed over him. Eyes round as saucers, gasping breath, chest heaving, and a great big huge ejaculatory orgasms shot right out of him.

What a gift to receive, for all my efforts.

Endorphins

Adoration

Ejaculation

Playing with RC is very rewarding.

motoring along

A different location in a beautiful new larger space and with a tolerant City, the answer is YES.

August 4, Libido Events PLAY PARTY

It's our Summer Play Party and it's a big one.


August 4 Saturday 8:00pm - 1:30am
PLAY PARTY- a sex-positive event
brought to you by Libido Events
The Hornby - 3rd Floor 595 Hornby Street Vancouver BC
Cost: $25 Woman / $50 Couples & Single Men

The elevator doors open into a red-carpeted room lit with light bright enough to see by yet dim enough to create an inviting mood. A smiling volunteer offers to check any coats and bags you won't be needing for the evening ahead of you. Then after making your payment, you are finally permitted to see what is behind the screen blocking your view of the rooms and noise beyond.

A full pay bar sits at one side of the main room (you can leave your credit card with them), which holds chairs and candle-lit tables with light snacks for a casual socializing atmosphere. Further on, there is a massive room, 2500 sq. ft set up with BDSM furniture (suspension frames, spanking benches, tables with anchor points, intermixed with massage tables and other naughty sex pieces) and beyond them is a no-voyeurs room for couples only sex play with six queen size beds.

The whole space has music piped in and contains stocked areas of safer sex supplies, fresh bedding, massage oils and cleanup supplies. Even if you are early, you may see someone already at play in the rooms -- people here are keen to have fun and make the most of their night out.

A Libido Events Naughty Party has an atmosphere distinctly different from a fetish night. It shares the no-streetwear rule: wear your fetish wear, sexy clothing or even nothing at all (the temperature on this floor is set to "naked"). No jeans, sweat pants, boxer shorts or flannel pj bottoms. Dress to impress. However, the main difference is that sex and kink are not kept separate. You are as likely to see someone tied to a table and receiving oral sex as you are to see someone bent over getting a spanking or flogging. Swingers, kinksters, voyeurs, exhibitionists and people of every sexuality are welcome. Come see for yourself what a Naughty Party is like.

Orientation

If homosexuality is a disease, let's all call in queer to work.

"Hello, Can't work today, still queer."

Issue # 7

WhipLash Magazine 2002

Now that I've started digging through the archives, I am finding a plethora of really cool old stuff. Next to see if I can make RC's scanner work and if so, I'll scan and post the accompanying article that went with these youthful photos of Reive and I.

bare bottom tanning

The sound of the waves rolling in to shore, mixed with the laughter & happy chatter of hundreds upon hundreds of people, the smell of sun screen entangled in the oceans breeze, the heat of the sun, these are the joys of summer that we discovered today.

Today being The 26th Annual Wreck Beach Day, with plenty of activities going on. RC and I made it into the 2007 Annual group photo, something that thrills me to pieces. That I had on my pink hat, will make finding us, at the top of the letter V, in the word LOVE, easy. I can't wait to purchase some of the post cards they print and of course a larger image too.


We spent the better part of the day naked at the beach, it was mental down time for us both. Rejuvenating to be one with nature, sans the restraints of public clothing. Together we played Scrabble, ate good food, sun-bathed, people watched, swam, hiked and for seven hours basked in the beauty of our surroundings. Glorious day!

a butt shot

This is me catching my breath in the parking lot after learning to drive a standard. You can thank RC for the photo.

ring ring

They, as in "The City of Surrey" had told me to expect a call from them by today with news as to the status of the Libido Lounge business license that they are holding out on.

Of course, no call = no news.

Is this a huge surprise? No.

Plan 2, is now in place and motoring along at a good pace.

Good thing for me, I have more resources than I could ever know what to do with.

Plan 2 is equally exciting and far more geographically centered.

Onwards and upwards.

a teaser

Today my car put itself to rest, suddenly.

It was of course a dramatic ending and, at the height of afternoon rush hour.

The Ford Escort was a 93, having 309 thousand on it, a lot of mileage.

I drove it hard, having been the one to put most of the miles on the car as I was the second owner but I cared for it well and I used it to the bitter end. It had a good life and served me well.

Earlier this evening RC took me out to a large parking lot not far from home and patiently taught me how to drive a standard, something I had eluded learning till now.

Can you believe he sat in the passenger seat, smoking a cigar the whole time. A Cuban one none-the-less.

Being able to drive a standard is a necessary skill for me to acquire seeing as my next vehicle is none other than a .......

A hands on, fully interactive class. We will have plenty of erotic fun and play with group sex-energy. Everyone attending will only be paired off with the person they came with and for those who came alone, we'll take care of matching you all up. Temperature is probably the most fascinating sensation to incorporate into erotic play. You can use temperature to focus the attention of your partner on erogenous zones all over their body. Your use of temperature can create a sense of well-being or extreme excitement. This workshop will cover how to use temperature and incorporate both hot and cold sensations into your sex play. The tools will include hot wax, ice, and chilled metal items.

There will be a short demonstration followed by an interactive portion in which everyone will get to practice with the sensations taught in the course.

*Highly recommended: wear under clothing that is suitable for lying on the floor with and which will not be damaged if a small amount of wax happens to get on. Or, go naked.
