About the author

My name is Alessia, and I write about sex. Sometimes it's pretty sex. Sometimes it's... not. I write about sex because I'm sick of preachy people using it to control others by turning it into something shameful. Sex is a crucible. It's a prayer, a celebration, an affirmation, and a motivation.

But lo and behold Jack shows up and we get a felacio palate of a blow job in the making.

Picture this, a pleasantly warm evening on a Jamaican beach when the sun has just dipped under the clear blue sea and a group of people surround a bonfire in the sand. The reggae music emanating from the assemblage pushes the sphere farther than the heat of the fire. Chloe, a tourist on vacation, retreats from the cluster of strangers and walks down the beach.
