The night I almost k*lled all my Friends
Step back into the night with Aurora N. de Matos, in a raw and unflinching account of one of our community events. The Night I Almost K*lled All My Friends is an intimate, ironic, and deeply human reflection on desire, vulnerability, care, and consequence - where pleasure, exhaustion, fear, and solidarity collide. A personal chronicle of a shared space, told with honesty, dark humor, and unexpected tenderness.

Jealousy part 2: The place between Love and Fear
Our emotional response can be about socialized expectations but that does not mean that it is easy to untangle these. Those expectations ultimately lead to constrained core beliefs about ourselves. Our insecurities and past experiences can also manifest as jealous reactions.

A Doctor, a DJ, and a Dominatrix: Interview with Mistress Anna Petrovna on Feminine Power, Pleasure, and Cross-Cultural Kink
It all started when I was a first-year medical student, a young 18-year-old girl, whose dreams and ambitions were just taking shape. One day, during a Brazilian waxing session, lying on a cold couch, I immersed myself in philosophical thoughts. How paradoxical it is: to endure pain and even pay for it! It seemed like all the absurdity in the world was concentrated in that moment. And suddenly it dawned upon me.

What is compersion and can I be polyamorous without it?
I don’t remember when or where I read first about compersion. But I liked how the word sounded and it made sense to me immediately. I was also surprised that there was not already a word to describe that warm, uplifting feeling that I get when my partner returns all giddy and relaxed from her date, or is excitedly getting ready to go out on one. Compersion is not only applicable to polyamory, and can be experienced with friends, colleagues, family and even with strangers.

Wet, Curious, then FREE
Picture 18-year-old Ana, fresh out of her first sexual experiences, sitting in the university library. Between books and the glow of a computer screen, the search was always the same: “G-spot” and “Squirting”. Educational videos, step-by-step guides, late nights trying things out with a trusted partner. Attempt after attempt ... and nothing. The body didn’t respond.
