What’s all this about?

Sex Demystified is here to help quiet that awkward little voice in your head—the one that kicks in anytime the conversation turns to sex or sexuality. Don’t worry, these articles aren’t explicit. They’re about something far more important: feeling comfortable in your own skin, building better relationships with your partner, and unlearning all the outdated nonsense most of us grew up believing.

Because let’s be honest—high school health class didn’t prepare us for any of this. The real conversations about intimacy, connection, and what it means to actually enjoy and understand your body? Those were conveniently left out of the curriculum.

For far too long, puritanical ideals have told us to shut up about sex, leaving generations feeling unsure, ashamed, or just plain confused about something that should feel natural. But times have changed, and thankfully, so can we.

Sex Demystified is your invitation to rethink the narrative.

Curious?

Good. That’s where all the best conversations start. Subscribe and let’s make the uncomfortable a lot less uncomfortable. Consider this the conversation you should’ve been having all along—only with far better company.

What you’ll get.

Real talk. Honesty. Thoughtful insights that are incorporated with research.

This is a space to explore all the parts of sex and sexuality we were taught to keep quiet about—from the emotional to the physical, from the “Am I the only one who…?” moments to the conversations we should be having with our partners (but probably aren’t).

Here, you can ask questions, share your thoughts, or simply read along as we untangle the myths, expectations, and hang-ups that have followed us from generation to generation.

No shame. No awkwardness. Just a smarter, more comfortable way to understand yourself—and each other.


The Drive Home Series

The drive home has a way of making us honest. It’s where we replay the night, rethink the conversation, and reexamine the choices we made—or almost made. Married, dating, cheating, flirting with someone… we rationalize and try to make sense of it all before we pull into the driveway and step back into real life.

The Drive Home is where I take a long, unflinching look at my own story—a sexual history that spans more than thirty years. There are moments I still question, the ones I’ve let go of, and a few I actually wouldn’t mind reliving. But this isn’t about nostalgia and it isn’t about justification.

Infidelity, no matter the circumstances, leaves wreckage behind. It’s not glamorous and it’s certainly not harmless. And it’s never the solution we tell ourselves it might be. But regret? Regret only holds value if you learn something from it.

So that’s what this is. An attempt to understand the choices I made and the reasons I made them. A way to connect the scattered parts of my story and maybe help you reflect on your own. Because we’re all just driving home from something, aren’t we?

If you’d like to join me for the full ride, The Drive Home is available exclusively to paid subscribers.

I write like I talk: a little sideways, often sarcastic, but always searching for something real. If you’ve ever rewritten your past in your head at 2am or Googled “is rage a symptom?” while downing a churro — you’re in the right place.
