The Big Word Project

Check out my latest blog entry at Huffington Post. It's about a very cool project where you can actually  buy words. It's called the "Big Word Project" and when you buy a word there for a dollar a letter, you get to redefine it by connecting it to your own website. Very cool concept. But get there quickly. A bunch of words I wanted for myself were already taken. I did however buy a few... poly, polyamorous, polyfidelity, Block, and marriage. Open and polyamory were already taken.

It's an especially interesting concept for those of us in the poly community. Words are so vital in getting people to understand who we are and who we aren't. If nothing else, I hope this project gets people talking about the power of words and the ways in which we define them.

National Sexual Assault Awareness Month: If we want to live honest lives, we have to tell the truth

My most recent blog is up at Huffington Post. I hope you'll check it out and leave me a comment about what you think. And, if you dig it, I hope you'll "buzz it up" and email it to everyone you know!

Writing for Good - Carly Milne, Sexography, and RAIIN

My friend Carly Milne, author of Sexography, is doing this very cool fundraiser to raise money for RAINN (Rape, Abuse, & Incest National Network). Basically, bloggers write about sex (me being one of those bloggers), you read the posts, and then you donate money to RAINN because you enjoyed reading the post! Be sure to enter the code GBBMC2008 in the "in honor of" box so they know that Carly's fundraiser led you there. 

If you'd like to participate on the writing end of this event, click here to find out how.

Feel free to donate now or stay tuned for my writing on everyone's favorite topic...

Huffington Post

My latest blog entry is up on Huffington Post. It's titled, "Women Want Their Sexuality Back -- Now. And Opening Marriage Just Might Help" and it's started a bit of a conversation. I hope you'll come by and check it out and join the discussion if you feel so inspired.

Seal Press

My amazing editor at Seal Press, Brooke Warner, blogs regularly at their site. And this morning I was so thrilled and surprised to see that yours truly and my new book "Open: Love, Sex, and Life in an Open Marriage" was the subject of today's entry. I hope you will not only check out their blog today, but that you will also bookmark it to read everyday. There is always something insightful and thought-provoking from Brooke and her fellow blogger Krista Lyons-Gould, Seal Press' Publisher.

Practical Polyamory

Well, who would have thought my blog at Huffington Post would have caused such a clamor. It was picked up by Yahoo and my friend and colleague Anita Wagner was kind enough to link it to her site, as well as discuss it further there. In addition, she posted a comment about it at Huffington.Thank you, Anita. People sure can say the most unkind things. I appreciate you responding so intellectually and generously. Comments like pastgone's used to upset me. Now they just make me sad. Be sure to check out Anita's site Practical Polyamory for all sorts of great info, advice, and commentary.
