Dear Michael, In my own case, I didn’t rush into this relationship. I’ve always been a cautious person, and right from my younger years, I knew how delicate relationships could be. I wasn’t even pressured to be in a relationship or actively searching for romance. But Love came my way, and I hopped on it […]
Relationship & Love Series: Breakfast In Bed
I think that it is essential that I let you know that this isn’t an attempt to smear your name in the mud, neither is it a way to apportion blames, and I hope that if you do stumble on this, you would still think of me as a gorgeous smart blondie. I believe that […]
Relationship & Love Series: I Would Like Us To Take A Break
“I would like us to take a break. Reflect on our relationship so far, sort out our personal issues before we get back together.” This was what I said to my ex-boyfriend as we walked past Sports Complex on the afternoon of 9th July, 2019.

Silence

His First Sex.
The day he died, he had sex. It was his first time. He did not die during the act, no. He was moaning sensually and wishing it would never end. But it did end, and his life with it. It happened on a Sunday. The boy had just woken up in his room at a […]
Like Mary.

My Worst Fear.
Today, my worst fear came to life. Wait. Do you have fears? Are you like me? Is there anything you are very much afraid of? Come one, don’t tell me nothing! I know many parents are scared. Scared of so many things. Some are scared that on a cold day in November, their only […]

I have seen old men who regret not knowing about sex before having it. I have read stories of molestation, abuse, rape, failures of the formal sex education, premarital sex etc. and I have come to the conclusion that We Need More Sex Talks.
