My girlfriend and I are both multi-platform artists. She's an actor, comedy writer, playwright, solo performer and oh, so much more. I'm a journalist, editor, writer and publicist. She's in a film that will soon be screening at a major film festival. I've been working on a memoir for quite a while. We both have half a dozen other projects we are juggling, and half a dozen more we want to put into action. Meanwhile we are also just trying to make a living.I'm totally excited about the film. It means my gal will have the chance to hob-nob with some big shots in the film industry. Also, she can just have some fun with her 15 minute of fame (instead of shame:) She's been working really hard for the past two decades on her plays, performance pieces and many other artistic endeavors. She is...

So, we're are coming up here on our second anniversary, me and my girlfriend. It's in later December. I'm not certain the exact day—I'd have to look at my old emails in my old email account. It may sound very cavalier to not know the date of my and my honey's anniversary, but we don't stand on ceremony. I don't think she knows the exact date either.We're just happy that after two years we are still happy, attracted to each other, laughing, playing and sexing each other. I say "still' happy because it seems all the Debbie downers, naysayers, and negative people in society, and the few who are around us, don't hold out much hope for joyful and sexy lesbian relationships. Most dykes, at least as it seems from friends, friends of friends and the lesbian media, are ready...

"If you don't fuck me, I'm going to implode," said my girlfriend to me over the weekend. It had been yet another week of working late, late nights, being super-exhausted, just missing each other at home, etc. "OK," I responded, "take your clothes right now, unless you want to have some foreplay for something." She jumped outta her clothes immediately and indeed I fucked her. She screamed, coming very hard once—and then again, softer. "Now I can concentrate on my work, she smiled—and I won't implode!" We lolled in bed and talked a bit. "Isn't is great to have a girlfriend you can have sex with," she said. "As opposed to...having to go out to find a lay whenever you want or need it?" I responded to her, laughing....

We’ve been so exhausted lately, my girl and I. We usually fall into bed soon after we get home, which usually is not at the same time by a long shot. We have come to covet the heating pad for our stressed-out backs (and take turns using it every other night) and have taken to wearing furry socks because the heat in our Brooklyn apartment is not working and it’s getting colder by the day.It’s not a great scene for romance. But, recently I pounced on my lover early one weekend morning and initiated sex. “Don’t kiss me,” I announced, “I have morning breath—no kissing allowed, just fucking.”I penetrated her deeply with my fingers and fucked her relentlessly. She came hard in a climactic release full of pent up stress from work, strain...

Hello. I am the anonymous girlfriend of a one Ms. Stephanie Schroeder. I’ve been asked to give her a mini-vacation and write a guest blog post this week.I met Stephanie (her real name) on several occasions over the course of several months. When we actually had a “date,” in less than an hour it was mutually agreed upon it would be an evening of “casual” sex. I was shocked and delighted at how easy it was to get her into bed. This experience was dramatically different from most of my other arduous and toilsome attempts to have casual sex. Stephanie took me back to her Brooklyn apartment, took off her shirt before I even had a chance to feel her up, and moments later, she was naked, on the bed and ready to have her pussy pounded beyond belief.Twenty-four...

Okay, I really need to address the recent volume of gay teen suicides--at least the kids and the families garnering attention in the mainstream and gaystream media.

I’ve been thinking a lot about family lately—how I define it and what each different family I have means. At my day job, I represent a book called Counted Out: Same-sex Relations and Americans' Definitions of Family. The title is pretty self-explanatory.A few choice statistics from the book are that more Americans count pets as their family than lesbian or gay couples who live together. However, more and more Americans are also moving toward accepting as families not only straight unmarried couples who live together, but also queers who co-habitate. The book supports underlying reasons for and opinions about marriage equality. I won’t rehash my beliefs about that particular topic, but it’s an interesting read, and I’ve talked to a lot of friends whom I...

The blinking blue light I see in windows of the rows and rows of apartments in New York City at night makes me crazy. It also makes me sad.This blue light emits from the television that almost everyone sits in front of night after night after night. At my office, co-workers talk about TV programs they watched the night before. The gossip in the news is all about television celebrities and their shenanigans. Television drives American society like an expert chauffeur.I know couples who have forsaken sex for sitting shoulder-to-shoulder on their sofa to watch television until they start snoring on the couch, or head to bed—their eyes tired from the blinking blue light.I think there must be interesting things on that screen, or why would so many people prioritize the flat screen...

Dear Readers,I recently received a beautiful personal note from one reader who said, in part, “You are doing an excellent job at relating your life experience and opinions without contemplating our own ego/intellect and without indulging and posing yourself as a victim (of society, of your illness, of your sexuality ...).I hope this is true. I certainly try my very best!And, I rely on Curve readers. Period. Whether you all agree with me or not, find my musings, assertions and contemplations thoughtful, provocative, encouraging or what-have-you, I need you. Because without readers two things happen to a journalist: 1) we simply write into the void and for futility’s sake, and/or 2) the writer’s column gets axed.I don’t want either to happen.So, I want to take this...

I was having dinner with a mutual friend last night and told her my girl and I finally finished our Living Together/Cohabitation Agreement. The friend said, “That will certainly kill the sex.” “Au contraire,” I told Ms. Buzzkill, "it will only strengthen our relationship because we are not only taking care of ourselves, but each other as well.” I told my friend I find open and honest communication sexy. It might not be easy to talk about ending our relationship just as we are moving into a new apartment together, but it is necessary and very practical. And I am a Virgo after all.Our agreement, a legal document, is intended to protect both of us in the event our relationship ends. It protects us property-wise, financially as well as emotionally, too. My...
