I’m a kinky, submissive, grad student (graduation pending Jan 2011) in her late 30’s and still working out my Daddy issues. I’m sarcastic, funny, and open minded and I will try anything twice because the first time may have been a fluke. I talk about sex, write about sex and do all that I can to have lots of sex.
I’m most recognizable by my big mess of black hair (circa Janet Jackson, 1986) and pictures of my cleavage but I’m not all tits and hair. I’m brazen and inappropriate but still fearful of confrontation. I’m a sex blogger with kids, a cat, a minivan and more sex toys than a girl should be allowed.

I’m a 35 year old wife and mother of two. I started my blog, Coypink.com, to share my husband’s photography of me and chronicle some of our adventures. When I started the blog our sex life and my attitude toward sex were changing. I found that reading other sex blogs and writing about my new discoveries opened up a whole new world to me. The photos I share on the blog, along with my personal account of my sex life, are a large part of how I celebrate my sexual freedom. Through my journey with my blog I have learned many new things, made friends, and proved to myself and others that being an overweight, married mother in her mid-thirties doesn’t mean I can’t be sexy.

Born and raised in Halifax, Canada and now residing in Toronto, he got his start in kink/writing/sexblogging when he realized his journalism career wasn’t dirty or interesting enough.
A strong orange flag on the left, Max is trying very hard to establish a reputation as a stone-cold, hard-assed Dominant but his cover keeps being blown by lovers and friends who call him a sweetheart or a teddy bear on Twitter (@maxlagos).
Turn ons: good bondage porn, sense of humour, burning lust, yoga and people who want to have sex with me
Turn offs: very little, really…jerks, abusers

With 26 years in the adult film industry under her belt and a nursing degree to boot Hartley is prepared and excited to lead the SexWise community in new way to learn about sexuality. An exhibitionist with a cause, she created a persona that was wholly new at its inception in 1983 but is now part of the broader cultural lexicon: “feminist porn star.”
A dedicated student of human sexuality for over thirty-five years, Nina Hartley began her career as an adult entertainer while an undergraduate in nursing at San Francisco State University, dancing weekly at the Mitchell Brothers’ O’Farrell Theater. By the time she graduated (magna cum laude) in 1985, she had become determined to speak out on the subject of sex work from experience, not theory. By the time she graduated (magna cum laude) in 1985, she had become determined to speak out on the subject of sex work from experience, not theory. Banding together with like-minded women during the “porn wars”of the mid-1980′s, she was a founding member of the Feminist Anti- Censorship Task Force, whose impact on mainstream feminist thinking gave rise to a younger generation of sex-positive writers and activists.
Through the 600-plus video and film titles she has made, her two decades of dance tours and her thousands of personal appearances, Ms. Hartley has become the most enduringly popular star in the history of the medium. Having been awarded virtually every honor her industry can bestow, Ms. Hartley takes her greatest satisfaction from a diverse fan base that cuts across demographics of age, race and gender.
Still in high demand as an on-screen talent in X-rated features, Ms. Hartley also co-produces her own line of instructional videos, Nina Hartley’s Guides, the market-leader in adult sex-education-video programming, currently in its thirty- eighth installment. She lectures on campuses across the country and has contributed extensively to anthologies regarding sex and feminism.
Ms. Hartley is the author of “Nina Hartley’s Guide to Total Sex,” a comprehensive book based on her video Guide series, for Avery, a division of Penguin Group. Nina currently lives and works in Los Angeles with her husband and collaborator, I.S. Levine.
