I grew up in Scandinavia but left when I was 18. I had itchy feet and always felt a thirst to discover more of the world.

Having lived in many countries, I have had the fortune to get to know some wonderful places. I fell in love with each place in its own right and miss every country I have lived in. Not to mention the people, of course.

I discovered polyamory and BDSM when I was 31. I could never go back to a monogamous, vanilla life style.

I don't aim to change people's minds about anything. My hope is to show people who think like me, that they are not alone.

I would also like to offer people a real, attainable alternative to monogamy through being honest with oneself and through communicating openly with people around you.

Drawing from my own experience, which I look at in detail in the book I have already published, in this book I want to explore the emotional side of it more, and I want to try to explain polyamory to a partner who is not as relaxed about it as my own husband in real life has been. I want to explore a more complex scenario than my own life. (less)

I lived it and wanted to share it. I am passionate about giving people a healthy, balanced alternative to monogamy and vanilla sex.

I want to show the world that BDSM is NOT about emotionally fucked up billionaires who fly around in helicopters and who are unable to form close, emotional connections to other people.

And I want to show that love is great, and lots of love is even better, if everyone is informed and gives consent. (less)

As I Got Naked, I Could See that He Was Not Impressed

Undressing in front of someone for the first time is a vulnerable moment, indeed it can be rather scary. Especially with stretch marks and not quite so perky boobs after a couple of pregnancies, and add to that bit of extra weight gathered over the last decade.

I know my husband is attracted to me, he calls my stretch marks “tiger stripes” which sounds cool and positive, although to be honest I wou Read more of this blog post »

“Life is about having the courage, or finding it along the way, to become a fuller person so that you can enjoy it more and feel more alive by pursuing interests that might be out of the ordinary. It is about finding joy in connecting with others, even when those connections involve the risk of getting hurt.

It is about being fueled by curiosity, not by fear.”
