• Date Machine: The politics of contraception

  So, PO made an annoying comment over on spjv's post about condoms, so I thought I'd roll out an oldie that caused a bit of a hoo-ha back in the day on my previous blog. Anyone remember that? Ooo, doesn't fishnets call her punani a hoo ha, or did I just make that up??  Let me preface it by saying that I hate condoms. They smell, they burn, they look stupid, but I hate the following attitudes more... Read More...

• Looking at Looks

  I get off on men paying for my time and skills. It seems like an appropriate fetish to have as a native New Yorker. ("Oh yeah. That's right. Compensate me fairly. Get that overpriced rent paid. Mmmm.") It is part of what makes being a Professional Dominatrix a worthwhile pursuit for me. The downside? It's the same story for every sex worker: I worry about my looks. How to enhance them. When will I lose them? Should I try to lie about my age? Oh my God, is my ass really that big... and should I try to capitalize on that? Read More...

• A Modest Proposal: The Looooooove Doctor

  OK, so I want to put it out there: I'm awesome at getting boyfriends. It's not that I'm so wonderful or gorgeous or anything... it's just an odd gift. Give me two weeks, and I'll give you my new LTR. Which made me wonder: can I do the same for someone else? So, this is an open call to all Nerve daters (bloggers included!) If you're chronically single, I will do my best to change that. All you have to do is hand yourself (or... your profile and messages) over to me. Any takers? Email me at MistressEliza@gmail.com. Link your profile and tell me why you need help. (When was your last relationship? Been on any dates lately? Etc.) If someone actually lets me do this, I shall keep a running blog of the process and results.

• Date night: Who pays?

  Yesterday. my friend came to hang out with me and the kids for the rainy afternoon. We drank tea and talked whilst the kids buzzed around and then I cooked dinner - I am a domestic goddess after all. My friend didn't plan to stay, even though it was roast chicken and starting to smell delicious, but as time marched on and she hadn't heard from her date for the night, she decided to stay. We talked about flaky friends and flaky dates. We talked about dating in general. Read More...

• Date Machine: What if?

  This morning at my kid's school I ran into a man I haven't seen in at least a decade. It was a total surprise and strangely emotional. He is the best friend of an ex of mine and now, by weird coincidence, his son is in the kindergarten class across the hall from my youngest son. Read More...

• Date Machine: Surprise!!! I'm pregnant!

  When I was in my late teens and early twenties, I remember countless times waiting nervously for my period. Safe-ish sex being the cause for worry. And then I became a serial monogamist and I didn't worry about it too much for the next decade or so. The pill has many drawbacks, but anxiety about pregnancy isn't one of them. Read More...

• Date Machine: Erectile Dysfunction

  I started writing on this subject a few weeks ago, but hadn't had occasion to post it, until Amboabe recently broached the subject. Back when I was a teenager, right through into my early twenties, erections were very easy to come by. All you had to do was smile at a boy the right way and watch the result. Read More...

• Date Machine: Je t'adore

  I go through phases of dating and phases where I just can't be bothered with it. But when I am in one of those "meet 6 people in a short period of time" moods, I tend to come up with more precise realisations about what I can deal with in a relationship. Not superficial characteristics like hair color or cynical ones like a base line salary (although there is always the minimum package size requirement, but we've been there already, hehe) it's more about their attitudes and how that might reflect on me. And that's how I came up with today's new rule: Read More...

• Date Night: The 45-Minute Walkout

  So the other night I met a woman for drinks and after 45 minutes of terse chitchat she got up and walked away. "You know what, I think I'm just going to leave," she said as she looked from me to her empty wine glass and back again. My first clue that things weren't going to go well came when she vetoed my idea of going to a peach-colored yuppie bar to play Stranger Chicken (in which you take turns giving your companion dares to approach strangers and perform goofy tasks—bum a cigarette, grab an ass, convince them you're an astronaut…). Both the bar in question and the activity aren't to everyone's taste, but I thought it would be a fun way to spend a Friday night, whether or not we hit it off. Veto.   Read More...

• Date Night Redux: H's Version of Our Night Out

  The other day I wrote about a date I had with H. It can be difficult writing publicly about people you're seeing. H eventually found the post I had written about her and, though I'm loath to put words in her mouth, she seemed unhappy with what I had written. I asked H if she would be willing to share what her experience of our time together was so that I could post it here. She accepted the offer and what follows is her recounting of our date. In case you're curious, I was born in Kenya. I am not South African, nor have I ever been to South Africa.    Now H's story: Read More...

• Celebrity Confessions: Amy Winehouse & Blake Fielder-Civil

  Sort of a Celebrity Confession, but more of a Celebrity reveals all. Our own (err, if you're from Blighty) Amy Winehouse, that sweet National train wreck, almost got to be re-united with her husband Blake Fielder-Civil today as he was due to be released on parole from the nick. But, he chose to stay in because a condition of his parole was that he wear an electronic tag and stay at his Mum's in Nottingham with a 7pm curfew. Not desperately Rock n Roll is it? What's a drug taking wild boy to do, but stay in the clink. So he did. But that's not the reveal. Oh no. The best is yet to come. Read More...

• Sex Machine: Masturbating Upside Down

  One night when I was 13 I orgasmed eight times while watching Maria Conchita Alonso being interviewed on the Arsenio Hall Show. It was a bad idea, looking back. It was a terrible session of teenage masturbation that spiraled out of control, with every ejaculation becoming less and less intense until I could barely feel anything and my whole nervous system was in frazzled disarray. All of which is to say that I used to jack off like a monkey. Which isn't all that unique, but the inevitable slackening of that once fervent sex drive as I get older makes me wonder. Read More...
