The Times, They Are A-Changing

I can't believe how long it's been since I last had time to update this blog. My business has really blossomed since Lovehoney ceased taking up most of my time ( I still love you, but Christ the work was mentally draining!). I spend my days managing social media, websites, being a PR butterfly and even designing shoes! It's an incredibly varied lot and I'm absolutely loving life.

I'm still writing sex advice for the media and Temptations Direct but I'm opening Hella Rude up to be more than a base for sex toy reviews and sex tips. Nothing will be moving or being deleted, but things will gradually be changing around here to make room for more varied posts and topics. It's going to be an interesting progression.

Hella Walkington For Temptations Direct

I'm really pleased to say that adult retailer Temptations Direct have asked me to contribute advice to their Sex Talk column. I'll be penning a few different articles over the coming months, focusing on all things BDSM.

My first post tells you how to get into the bondage and fetish scene, offering insight into fetish clubs and kink nights so you know what to expect. If you've ever wondered how to find a fetish club, what happens there or what you need to wear, you'll find the answers in this article.

Sex Advice - Is it Normal for a Man to Taste His Own Cum?

 

Q: Hiya, I got your email address off the Internet about sex advice. The question I've got is, what are your thoughts on a man tasting his own cum? 

I hadn't thought if it before till after a girl gave me head then asked me if I'd ever tasted my own cum. At first I thought it was weird or a bit gay, but now I'm curious as to how it will taste and the idea turns me on. Is this normal? Gay? Should more guys do this?

A: Most people will taste their own intimate fluids at some stage and it's quite common to taste them out of curiosity. She may have been asking to see if you're comfortable kissing after oral sex, which is how many men first taste their own juices... as it were.

It certainly isn't gay. It's down to the individual as to whether or not it's something they'd like to try, but being comfortable about it will make things feel more natural after oral if she does want to kiss you.

Writing Freelance

Never in a thousand years did I think that I'd find myself working as a self-employed writer. It always felt like a bit of a pipe dream after my 17-year-old self had to drop out of a Media Production diploma to pay the bills. NeverthelessI found a niche (via a winding path) writing sex advice and sex toy blurb for e-commerce companies and media publications.

During the past 3 years I've been lucky enough to work with multiple publications and several e-commerce sites, providing articles, information, quotes, advice and copy in various formats. I recently parted ways with Lovehoney and Coco de Mer, leaving me questioning where I'd like to focus my spare energy next.

I still enjoy writing about sex and will continue to do so, but I'd like to give my other creative outlets a chance to breathe. I'm currently in the process of re-branding and updating a sex toy manufacturer's site and I'm in talks with a couple of sex toy companies who are looking for my usual chatter, but I also want to diversify my client base and work toward a mainstream portfolio.

There's even a little part of me that misses being told what to do. I even miss the feeling of being stressed, needing to work harder to achieve a goal. Part of me could even go back to law. Now there's something that I never thought I'd say!

With so many possible avenues for new clients and new opportunities, it's an exciting time for me and I'm looking forward to my next challenge. I always kept a rather fetching grey waistcoat and pencil skirt combo on standby, it's a funny life and we can be anything that we want to be.
