I'm back--and what I'm reading in Sex and relationship blogs right now

Hey, Iâ€™m back.

Now that Liz is coupled, Iâ€™m going to come back in and start doing more regular postings on sex, dating & relationships---and the bloggers who cover those areas.

To get started, an update on me.

Yep, I work at an online dating service, a big one.
And I am both formerly married and currently single.
And I date.
Geeze, do I date.
Two years post break-up, it feels like I know more about mid-life dating (and the online dating services) than I ever imagined possible.

--So I want to share all that stuff with you. After all, we're all in this together--so I will be answering questions, discussing issues and recommending--and highlighting--things to read, watch and listen to.

So, Iâ€™ll be posting everything from the ridiculous to the sublime, 2-4 times a weekâ€”heartfelt truths and quotes that will, quite possibly, make you blush.

What's taking my attention right now? Some of the current faves:

Chelsea Girl
Chelsea Girl and her boyfriend Donnie mix it up in a way that feels like Sex & the City, only for real

Cunning Minx:
A Seattle polyamorist and pdcasterâ€™s personal Live Journal contains ideas and stories well worth a read.

Dirty, filthy, princess:
You know that nice woman down the street with the big SUV and the cute kids? This could be her secret sex blog. 18+ and X-rated

The Riverdale Goddess:
Want to know what happens when a long-married, 40 something working woman decides to get into sacred sexuality, tantra, sensual touch, BDSM and more? Of course you doâ€”and this is the blog.

Rachael Parenta:
Dating and life obserations, posted by a sharp-eyed East Coast comic.

Sexerati
Melissa Gira and Luz Nightmare write a blog that is what fleshbot might look like if written by post-modern, sex-positive deconstructionist tech nerdsâ€”girl ones, of course.

Smart at Love:
Annie Dennisonâ€™s advice to the dating.

Violetblue, Open Source Sex
Violet is SFâ€™s reigning sex-positive reporter, blogger, vblogger, podcaster and all round adventuress. Read about it all here.

Vivianeâ€™s Sex Carnival:
A daily round up of all the NSFW must-reads.

Staying Single

Oh Susan

You give me hope!

I'm a single mum aged 38 and have 2 sons aged 11 and 10. I've been single for a while now, but last year was a horrendous experience for me, which was rather pivotal. After a stream of disastrous dates I was then pestered by a series of married men, and I decided to stay single for a year - simply to put myself out of the loop of the dating game, and give myself some space to think what I wanted for me and my family!

I'm intrigued to hear that "Geeze, do I date" - gives me a glimmer of hope!

I started my fictionalised blog, a semi-autobiographical blook which includes my horrendous experiences, and charts the story of a fictitious character (Sophie Regan) who decides to stay single for a year.

I've been filming some short documentaries (which I'm going to upload twice a week) about peoples dating experiences and am actively on the hunt for chat up scenarios/lines and ways we dump (funny, wicked or cruel).

If anyone has anything to add, please come along to http://sophie-stayingsingle.blogspot.com

I'm going off now to check out this list of dating and relationships blogs - and would welcome any of your comments at Staying Single with open arms!!!
