Ask A Brothel Receptionist: Part 2 (NSFW)

April 19, 2013 in Anecdotes, People, Sex, Sexuality, Society, Work

Cassie worked as a receptionist in a brothel. She’s written a series answering the most common questions. This is Part 2. Go here for Part 1 4. Well, I’ve never seen a sex worker. How pathetic are people who have to pay for sex? Don’t you just hate them? Okay, so this one isn’t so much a question as a statement I heard over and over again. And while, admittedly, the clients could drive me nuts sometimes, they were also paying my wage, so they got at least a little bit of my protectiveness as well. Clients aren’t assholes – assholes are [...]

Why I Care New Zealand Voted in Favour of Marriage Equality

April 18, 2013 in Dating, Family, Gender, Health, Human Rights, Marriage, Mental Health, News, People, Politics, Relationships, Sexuality

I’m sure you would know by now New Zealand has voted in favour of marriage equality, winning at 77 to 44. If you haven’t already heard about this, you can read all the details here, but I had to share this news with you even if you already know, purely because I am just so excited and so proud of the country my father is from. Well done New Zealand! I can’t explain how much this news has meant to me. Equality is something I am incredibly passionate about, whether it be discrimination based on race, gender, on gender identity, [...]

Ask A Brothel Receptionist: Part 1 (NSFW)

April 12, 2013 in Entertainment, Film & TV, Gender, Health, Lifestyle, Mental Health, Nutrition, People, Sex, Sexuality, Society, Work

Cassie worked as a receptionist in a brothel. She’s written a series answering the most common questions. This is Part 1 You probably won’t be surprised to hear I’ve gotten into quite a few heated arguments with people over my acceptance of the sex industry and the people who work in it. It’s an issue that can set people off very very quickly, and I’ve seen people go from zero to Hitler with appalling speed as soon as sex work is mentioned. But I’ve learned that head on arguments take more out of me than they chip away at the [...]

This Week: Breakfast & Cleaning

March 30, 2013 in Food & Recipes, Home, Lifestyle, Meta, Pets, Self, Sexuality, Society

In the past week I’ve spent more than the recommended amount of time cleaning. The up side being my house is all spotless in time for Easter and we finally unpacked the boxes in the hallway that have been there for, oh, a while (3 years). I also cleaned all the windows which haven’t been cleaned for a long time. This was my week in pics: Breakfast for Good Friday: Porridge! Note how my one is the child size version? Hilarious.  Night at the Chapel last Friday night. Church has changed quite a bit since I was last there. Lionel [...]

Marriage: I’m Just Not That Into You

March 27, 2013 in Lifestyle, Marriage, People, Relationships, Religion, Self, Sexuality, Society

Like many other girls, when I was young I would picture my wedding. There was the white dress, the flowers, the bridesmaids, and sometimes even the groom. The thing is; I never thought I would actually get married. I always assumed I would feel different when I was older. It’s never happened. In fact, I’ve become almost adamant that I never want to get married. I would like to preface this piece by saying that I love weddings. Seriously. I LOVE them! Seeing a couple stand up and affirm their love for one another is a beautiful thing. And there [...]

When a Nickname Hurts

March 13, 2013 in Body Image, Gender, Health, Mental Health, Sexuality

This post may contain words offensive to some readers. Nicknames: most of us have one, maybe more. Usually those around us give them to us. When I was born, I was a solid baby, and a long baby. My first nickname given to me by my parents was ‘Big Bird’.  And to this day, they still bust it out, now and again. Once I started school, I was quickly named ‘Mars’ or ‘Mars Bar’ by my primary school peers.  Harmless and fun. Nothing hurtful about these nicknames. Then came high school- ‘Bostik’ (the glue stick, as I was straight up [...]

Fiction: The Male Protection Act

March 4, 2013 in Fiction, Gender, Sex, Sexuality, Society

TV Host: Good evening, and welcome to News Time. I’m your host, Stewart Roman. Tonight in the studio we have as our guest newly appointed Police Commissioner, Mavis Atkinson. Commissioner: Thank you. It’s a pleasure to be here. TV Host: You are three weeks into your new role. How do you feel you have been handling the new responsibilities? Commissioner: Well Stewart, it’s been challenging, but I have the support of my family and my colleagues – and of course the Minister. I wouldn’t have taken on this role unless it was challenging. TV Host: Now, you’ve been charged with enforcing the new Male Protection Act. This [...]

Abortion: I’m Pro-Choice And Pro-Life

February 11, 2013 in Current Affairs, Gender, Health, Human Rights, Lifestyle, Parenting, People, Pregnancy & Birth, Religion, Self, Sexuality, Society

I’m glad to see that there’s been some new discussions around the antiquated abortion laws in New South Wales and Queensland – about time! Whenever I see articles about abortion, it always makes me wonder what I would do if a sexual partner of mine became pregnant. Given my age, sex, and relationship status (middle-aged, male, and in a 20 year committed relationship) it’s unlikely that I will ever be confronted with this situation. But when people ask me if I am pro-choice or pro-life, I always reply “both”. “How can that be?” they will ask. Well, it all depends [...]

Pre-Dumped: The 5.15 from Central to Hornsby

January 21, 2013 in Dating, Fiction, Friendship, Humour, Marriage, Sex, Sexuality, Society

This is a mini-prequel-teaser-post to the new Rom-Com-Web-Serial, “Dumped”, coming soon to KiKi & Tea. Blake was stuck on the 5.15 from Central to Hornsby. The train was packed with tired looking commuters going home for the night. It seemed as if the whole carriage was staring at him, or at least staring at the cute young woman standing next to Blake who was screaming at him and hitting him repeatedly. Fifteen minutes earlier he had been standing on the platform at Central waiting for the train with his girlfriend. She was yapping away, and he was pretending to listen, [...]
