Passengers

March 14, 2017 by MariaSibylla 9 Comments

Here’s what happened. (Note: this is not hot in any way. It’s basically a rant about public transportation etiquette). I got on the train this morning, later than usual. Upside being maybe I’d get a bench to myself. There was one, in one of the four seater areas, where two seats face two other seats … [Read more…]

Top 100 Sex Bloggers 2015

March 9, 2016 by MariaSibylla Leave a Comment

This list was composed by the indefatigable Molly Moore. I’m continually in awe of her efforts for this community and of her talent and skill with words and images. I was frankly bowled over to be included on this list. My blog is certainly dear to my heart, but seems like such a small part … [Read more…]

International Women’s Day: A Personal Thank You

March 8, 2016 by MariaSibylla 13 Comments

The image is of the suit in question, with the alterations receipt. *** My Grandmother wore a gray blue suit for her wedding. I have it now, folded in tissue paper, stored in her cedar chest, which I also have. Her and my grandfather, neighbors and friends since their youth, got married while he was … [Read more…]

First Kiss

January 14, 2016 by MariaSibylla 3 Comments

We’d known each other since preschool. One of my first memories of him is holding his hand while pictures were taken of our winning Halloween costumes. He was Dracula, I was Pebbles from the Flintstones. We were both four years old. We were always in the same class, he was a clown, not a jock. … [Read more…]

2016 Not-Resolutions

January 2, 2016 by MariaSibylla 7 Comments

I’m not usually one for making New Year’s resolutions. In fact, I have a loose life rule about not making grand statements of plan. (I’m going to lose 50 lbs in 6 months or I’m going to have X job in five years, etc). The goal setters of the world are shaking their heads right … [Read more…]

Late Bloomer

November 11, 2015 by MariaSibylla 7 Comments

I was well into my twenties before I had sex (PIV and oral) for the first time. I won’t go into the reasons here but basically it was a perfect storm of religious influence, a small town dating pool, a shy nature, a desire to be a good girl, and an early discovery of masturbation … [Read more…]

Turning Heads

June 30, 2015 by MariaSibylla 8 Comments

I always wanted to be head-turningly hot. I wanted to be the kind of person that when you see her walking down the street, you can’t help but notice her. I remember specifically talking to a friend about this when I was 19 or 20. I matter-of-factly/glumly-fishing-for-a-compliment-said, “I’m not the kind of girl you’d see … [Read more…]

Vulnerability and Questionable Advice

June 11, 2015 by MariaSibylla 11 Comments

Last night I was chatting with a good friend of mine on the phone. We’ve been friends since we were 13 and remain close to this day even though we live thousands of miles apart. While I shed my conservative Christian trappings soon after college, she has grown in her faith over the years. She … [Read more…]

I am always late to everything anyway (last person to post a Sinful Sunday … [Read more…]
