There are several of us who have fallen in love with EdenFantasys. I know I’ve fallen completely head over heels for it. I’ve been a member of several online communities, but not a single one comes close to what Eden has done for me. It’s strange to admit that I feel like I owe a lot to a website, but with Eden, I feel I...

Confessions of a Newly Recruited Toy Collector

Apr 15 Confessions of a Newly Recruited Toy Collector

Posted by sexyintexas in Community, Toys

Let me start by saying that I have accumulated a vast collection of lingerie through the years, as well as a few dearly loved toys. I never really relished the idea of going into sex shops, as I live in Houston and there are a lot of shady characters that frequent these establishments. I have for years, though, had an insane...

I will admit that I am 24 years old and have never been drunk before. Yes, I have drunk some before, but nothing has put me to the point of being drunk. I’m a big person, which is probably the main reason, but I also don’t drink fast and there’s very little I like. There are two things that typically happen when I tell...

I have always been fascinated by the sex industry. I’ve always wanted to know more. I won’t admit that to many people, I am too shy to talk about it. But ask my husband – and he will tell you that you should come to me with any question you have. I feel as if I have two personalities – there is the “me” that my...

Posted by RespectableCuriosity in Community, Relationships, Sex and Sexuality

My key flew to the door, not as gracefully as I wanted, but eventually I had the deadbolt and knob unlocked, and I slowly, oh so slowly, opened the door. My eyes jumped to his chair, and he wasn't in it. Instead my foot found the United States Postal Service box opened on the floor, with the brown paper packaging filler strewn about, all leading toward the bedroom. I followed with my heart beating against my ears, trying to escape and find the rewind or pause button we all see in the "Twix" commercials, but it was too late upon entering the bedroom, I had the shock of my life, and my heart stood still.

I’ve been quite pensive over the past few months. It started just before Thanksgiving, continued on through Christmas, and still plagues me now that the holidays are over.

It seems every year I say those 4 little words.  Do they really mean anything?  It seems I always start out with the best of intentions, but somewhere along the way, sometimes only a week into the new year, I fall flat on my face and a resolution or two (or 3 or 4) go out the door to wait until next January.  Who am I kidding –...
