One of my favorite aspects of being a companion is the intimacy I have with my patrons. Over the course of several dates, we create a bond of trust, exploration, and excitement. That bond can be intoxicating – in fact, it’s supposed to be.

1/11 But how do we sit in that intoxication while living the rest of our lives? Or as @SeaNoShips asked me: “[As a client in SW,] how do you distinguish between healthy attachment, and that which is harder to manage?”

We're all about pussy here on SW Twitter; let's talk about it!

Today is #MenstrualHygieneDay, and in an effort to destigmatize menstruation and continue bringing vulnerability, I'm inviting pussy-havers to talk about your relationship to having a period.

I'll go first! Growing up, periods were a matter-of-fact part of life. I remember picking up tampons for my mom at the pharmacy, bringing her a hot water bottle when she got cramps. She even put in her tampon in front of me a couple times.

My Memorial Day began with a virtual dance party with a few close friends. We put on a favorite set from Burning Man, popped some bubbly, and boogied. The music was light, chill, and perfect for the summer weather streaming through my balcony door. Dancing to the chill beats, I came to a realization: Physical play is really, really important. When we play, we experiment. We embody ourselves in the present moment. And, once we get into it, we move without self-consciousness.

Callout vs Collaboration

One of the things I love about SW Twitter is that it provides inculturation for patrons. Patrons who find me through Twitter tend to have a better sense of boundaries. They've looked at lots of profiles, read through the posts, and aggregated the information to figure out how to treat SWs with respect. Other patron-types chime in with their thoughts and feelings, often in support of managing SW's boundaries. It's great!
