Sexuality Happens

Here is my first segment of answering my Q and A with Essin’ Em (you’re still welcome to post/email me with your questions).

These were a set of three questions submitted by Gray.

1) When you first starting writing, did you prefer to be anonymus or were you out there from day one?

I started out writing solely under the pen name Essin’ Em, and I didn’t post any pictures that showed my face. The first time I had a picture of me was in June 2007 with an amusing sign after visiting Howard Stern’s set. After that, I slowly let out more details of my life; what part of the country I lived in, some events I was attending (like Dinah Shore), etc.  I’m much more open and transparent than I was when I started. I completely respect those who remain anonymous, but I’m so out there anyways that I enjoy being who I am and out there.  At Sex 2.0, we talked about blog personas vs. real life personas.  I’m pretty sure (and people who have met me, feel free to comment) that Essin’ Em online is the same as Essin’ Em in real life.

2) Do you think you and Q will go to another play party?

I asked Q. Her answer was yes, at some point.  We’re hoping there will be a women’s only party soon, because she’s be more comfortable with that.  But yes, hopefully it will happen. She says “Hi!” by the way. I’ll keep you updated.

3) Do random companies send you products to test out or do you have a contract with a couple of them to work as a consultant?

No contracts.  I review for companies whose ethics/toys I approve of.  If there is a banner for them on the right side of the page, I like the company.  Babeland, Vibereview, Liberator, and SexToy.com send me toys on a regular basis. I get other toys and movies occasionally, like the Mr. Man from Jollies, the Mia from Vibrator.com, Couch Surfers from Trannywood Pictures, etc.  I get lots of offers, but sadly, I can’t accept all of them, both for time/posting, and ethical reasons.

Hope those answers have helped!
