• The Problem With Being Sensual

  by Raine Phoenix July 17, 2015
  I'm a sensual person. I thrive on physical contact and affection. I always have. Being a multiple sexual assault victim has done little to alter my need to touch and to be touched. Yet, I realize that it's something so many people frown upon; people who are who so sensual and in great need of physic...

• I Know Who I Am

  by Raine Phoenix July 12, 2015
  Every once in awhile, I’ll stumble upon some old drawing of mine and all at once remember every pen stroke, every line, every curve, every thought and every emotion that went into making that drawing.  Sometimes, I forget about the drawing altogether until some triggering event&nbs...

• Self-Discovery

  by Raine Phoenix July 11, 2015
  I’ve met several people who accept and embrace me as I am, however most people I’ve encountered either in person or online have tried in some fashion or another to sacrifice myself, my ideals and my dreams to be that, which makes them more comfortable, or else, fulfills some selfish need...

• Fighting Ignorance, One Person at a Time

  by Raine Phoenix July 10, 2015
  I find it both humorous and pathetically sad that people have this idea that when someone is gay, bisexual, pansexual or whatever, that it means that they are automatically attracted to those who have this mindset as though gays, lesbians, bisexuals and pansexuals have no standards.

• Sex Should Be One Of The Best Parts of Life, Not The Worst

  by Raine Phoenix July 9, 2015
  PREFACE: I'm something of a human sexuality buff. As such, much of what I may post or discuss or reveal about myself will reflect my own views, observations and ideals of sex and sexuality. I’m not typically one to rant like I have been lately and I hope that this and the other most recent ...
