I may have over-committed myself recently.

Lunchtime Poll: Time Management
Author: Meghan Young Krogh
Meghan had a number of quality writing mentors over the course of her education, which just goes to show that you can't blame the teacher for the way the student turns out. Team Oxford Comma represent.
In our great, noble pursuit of the illustrious orgasm, the chances of getting pregnant are a bit more elevated than they would be were we not all pursuing said orgasms. So, today, we’re going to talk about contraceptives. Gather ’round, kiddos. TW for fertility-related issues.

Lunchtime Poll: Feeling Restless
Happy Tuesday, Persephoneers! I’ve been working my way through this (incredibly tasty) omelet month lately, and the main reason I embarked upon it was because I was bored with the food I’d been making lately. Which got me thinking.
Welcome back to our journey toward 52 (or Insert Your Goal Number Here) Orgasms for the year 2012! We’re approaching 1/4 of the year complete, which should put most of us right around a dozen orgasms so far. I think I am just about on track for that (give or take), and would love to […]

Omnomlet Month: The First Seven
About two weeks ago, I announced a new project: Omnomlet Month! It’s born mostly out of my total boredom with what I’d been doing in my kitchen lately, and also out of the fact that I love breakfast food. Well, after some pressing family issues-related delays, I am one week into the process, and it […]
Well, hello, orgasming Persephoneers! You know, when it comes to sex, there often seems to be an elephant in the room. Unfortunately, sometimes I feel like I am the elephant. Thunder thighs, flabby belly, lumbering around the bed like a great pachyderm. I try for body positivity, but so often, especially when I’m naked, it’s just really, […]

Lunchtime Poll: Supporting Friends
Within the close circle of people I love, there have been dozens (literally) of pretty life-altering, somewhat tragic circumstances happening lately. Deaths in the family, serious illnesses, financial catastrophes, long-term relationships breaking up, heartbreak left and right. The gods are cruel. Anyway, I believe strongly in feeding grief. It’s how I was raised, and it’s how […]
For those of you who are just tuning in recently, we challenged all Persephoneers to a 52-orgasms-in-2012 goal. For some readers, that’s a piece of cake. For others, it’ll take some real effort. Some of you are doing it in monogamous partnerships, some are flying solo, some are getting it on with and without other […]

Lunchtime Poll: Fake Productivity
A friend of mine IMed me the other night and wanted my advice on something obviously very important: how do you fake looking productive at work? To be perfectly honest, it’s been a while since I’ve had actual free time at work; my current job keeps me pretty fucking busy during work hours. But I […]

Coming Soon: Omnomlet Month!
I’ve been getting a little bored with my food choices lately, readers, which, for me, is kind of a travesty; it typically means that I’m facing some kind of deeper creative block or depression in my life, because food is my daily form of creative expression. So I decided to give myself a little month-long […]
There’s a question mark up in that title, because in today’s Orgasm Challenge Update, I want to know about toys that get it done for you.

Lunchtime Poll: Grown-Up Friends
So, friendship. Awesome until you move, right? In today’s LTP, I want to hear about making new, grown-up, non-classroom friendships.
There are these cliche phrases that women purportedly use to get out of sex, like, “Not tonight, I’m tired,” or, “I have a headache,” or “¦Yeah, I don’t know the other ones, but I have legitimately had these excuses before and they have definitely put me in the anti-sexytimes mindset before. Which leads me to […]
Happy Galentine’s Day! I am not above dedicating an entire Lunchtime Poll to a Parks and Recreation joke, but we’ll explain behind the cut. Plus: tell us about your bestest gal pals!
In this week’s orgasm challenge, we’re going to talk about when sex doesn’t feel quite so good. I know. Seems kind of anti-orgasmic. More after the cut.
