Welcome to Playtime for Grownups!

When I was a kid, my favorite social pastime was playing imagination games. My friends and I would pretend we were comic book, cartoon or movie characters. We’d take on roles and act out scenes, dress up in homemade costumes and devise props from available materials, create our own storylines and adventures.

Now, in my 30’s, I’ve found a new “friend” to play with, who’s creative and adventurous, willing and able to use all those same elements of play to create the same kind of imaginative fun.

Only this time we’re exploring scenes of illicit sex, hot encounters, our own lustful desires. Our costumes are sexy underthings, high heels and revealing clothes, the occasional pirate garb or lab coat, and most often, our birthday suits.

Our roles are often ourselves, with a little added spice that’s not normally a part of our day-to-day interaction. We can explore our sexual personas of slut and primal savage, obedient submissive and stern dominant, innocent virgin or nervous john. Sometimes we’ll create more elaborate roles to sink into and act out.

These games are possible because we offer trust, respect, appreciation and desire to each other freely and joyfully. That essential foundation is the key to allowing us to adventurously explore, to surrender to the moment, to fully express our most primitive, frenzied urges, our deepest, most outrageous fantasies and the most tender, intimate affection.

These games are fun because they are not only fully consensual, but enthusiastically so, and both of us are making a conscious effort to please, and receive pleasure with acceptance, generosity and openness. We’ve given each other permission to share without judgment, to explore without hesitation.

Creating this space of trust and appreciation allows us to experience the exhilarating feeling of letting go, of losing ourselves in the moment and sensations, of losing control without fear or danger.

Fantasy allows us to experience things in a way that the often ugly and unsafe realities of Real Life cannot. We can be ravished by a pirate, have a sordid one-night-stand, solicit a hooker or lose our virginity, with none of the worries, negative possibilities (or impossibilities!) that these encounters would entail in the real world.

One of the best things about being a grownup is that a skilled and trusted lover can be both your best friend and favorite toy, all in one delightfully interactive package!

This blog is a place for us to share our playtime explorations, our fantasies and true-life adventures, musings and silly stories. Things that turn us on, make us laugh, bring us closer, open us to new heights of enjoyment and celebration of our bodies, hearts, minds and souls.

We hope you enjoy them as much as we do.
