Confessions of a Sex Geek

Hello there!  I'm sorry for the short hiatus.  I had a very busy week last week, which is actually what I wanted to share here with you today.  I know this isn't my general content, but don't fret.  There's more content on the way.  It's just going to take a little bit longer to get out right now. Anyways, as some of you reading this might know, I'm a dancer.  I do partner dancing with the Fred Astaire Dance Studio group.  Now, for those of you that are probably squinting at the screen right now and reaching for Google, let me break that down a little bit more for you.  I do ballroom, Latin, and swing dancing with my local branch of the Fred Astaire dance family.  And three times a year, the two Fred Astaire studios in my area get together and do a showcase, which more or less capitalizes on the talents of their students, as well as the instructors.  For each show, students that are of a bronze performance level or higher get the ch...

I recently watched a documentary titled The   Best and Most Beautiful Things.    The Best and Most Beautiful Things follows a young woman as she embraces her early 20s, while legally blind and living with asperger’s syndrome.  The 20s prove for most as a time of exploration and self discovery, and Michelle’s story is no different. It sheds understanding and light to every aspect of her life, from her schooling, to her hobbies.  It successfully demystifies what life can look like for those living with asperger’s, from their sensitivities to the way they are able to interact with the world at large. I had a lot of thoughts about this documentary, especially regarding how, what most people would consider to be disabilities, actually encouraged her development as a young woman to blossom. Warning, this analysis is going to be dense. As I said, I had a lot of thoughts, and I didn't exactly hold any of them back. So, if you somehow manage to make it to the...

On June 16th I went to my first ever pride event.  Now, I've been trying to make it to Pride for years, but previously I lived in a fairly sex negative environment with no reliable form of transportation to make it into the city.  Last year was my first real chance to go, and, of course, my family had to plan a trip to New York during the weekend of Pride.  Regardless, I still found my own ways to celebrate that weekend, but it definitely wasn't the same.  Thus, this was my first time at a Pride event since coming out 3 years ago, and since coming to terms with my sexuality 4 years ago. As a disclaimer, I'm a pansexual, gender non-conformist.  But my identity means so much more to me than just those few words, so let me give you a run down.  I am inclined to be interested in you romantically or sexually regardless of your gender.  If I find you attractive, then I find you attractive, and that's that.  I am, however, more inclined to be attrac...
