My early environment taught me that sex is dirty. I turned to religion in an attempt to suppress my desires. That only compounded my inhibitions and misconceptions. I couldn’t enjoy my husband for fear that I would get out-of-control. But the suppression took its toil resulting in obsession. The more I tried to escape it, the more I wanted it. I turned to Internet porn to satisfy my cravings, leading a double-life.

I discovered an interactive nude model web site. I could view and chat with live men and women, fully exposed. I made friends with these men and women and with other viewers in the chat rooms.

Excerpt from my novel, Playgirl:
“It was more like morning coffee hour than porn. The crew that met there each morning shared our lives and our worries. Sometimes, we’d even share prayer requests. I can remember my shock the first time Deb asked us to pray for her son’s asthma. Pray? We’re going to pray at the porno site? These people are mixed up! But, since then I’ve realized I was the one who was mixed up. Deb had learned to incorporate the spiritual into the real.

“Before I fell off the Rock (how I refer to my discovery of porn), I judged and looked down my nose at everyone who didn’t believe what I believed. I believed whatever the church told me to believe. I would have thought that anyone who undressed in front of a camera for others to view was scum of the earth. Instead, I’ve discovered sensitive and caring young men trying to survive. I thought anyone who would look at porn to be lowlife, but I’ve discovered kind and goodhearted men and women with families, jobs, and problems just like everyone else.

“Sometimes, I wonder if it was God’s will that I found the playgirl site. Since sexual promiscuity was my greatest temptation, it was my greatest condemnation. Was allowing me to fall into the very pit I denounced the only way to reveal to me, for you who judge practice the same things?”

The friends I made in the chat rooms opened my eyes, my mind and my heart. I learned to accept and love others. I learned to love and accept myself, including my sexuality. This was the beginning of my sexual journey. Since then, it has been a process of continuing to learn about my body and my desires. I endorse and embrace my sexuality and respect the choices of others.

Reading and writing erotica is a tool for exploration and discovery. It has expanded my horizons and broadened my acceptance of people who have different preferences from mine. I strive to be an extraordinary lover and believe an open mind, exploration, experimentation and communication are key. “Great Lovers possess an attitude toward sex that is open and curious; they’re willing to learn something new about sex – always and forever. Not only that, they understand the power of their own sexuality, are willing to share it with their partners and will do whatever it takes to keep the flames of passion alive.” Dr. Mia Glanville

Accepting myself as a sexual being continues to be a journey. Discovering my desires and preferences exhilarates my senses and embellishes my relationship. Today, I celebrate my sexuality. I practice it, experience it, relish it and write it. I no longer think of it as dirty but glorious and beautiful. Sex expresses joy, love, connection, bonding, giving and receiving. It honors the Creator and exalts creation. It can build trust, open communication, end altercation, calm stress and/or seal commitment.

I Kissed a Girl: A Virgin Lesbian Anthology is a continuation of my journey of sexual discovery. Editing this anthology brought me intense pleasure. I was amazed at the quality of stories submitted. I was shocked at the level of heat and arousal the stories generated within me. But I slaved away, reading and editing these steamy encounters of women experiencing women for the first time. It was a very hot summer, and I loved every minute of it.

Please accept this invitation and join me on the journey.

Journeys of Sexual Discovery

“This book is what erotic writing is all about. I highly recommend this for all avid readers of erotica or for those willing to explore a new genre.” –You Gotta Read Reviews (rated “You Gotta Read,” the highest rating)

You’ve heard Katy Perry’s hit song, now read enticing stories of heterosexual women exploring new boundaries. College dormitories become breeding grounds of inquisitive minds and libidos with roommates discovering desire for each other as they relate past experiences, undress in each other’s presence, seek refuge from a storm, discover a dildo or share men. Continuing life’s path, ingenious women find ways to enhance marriage or the workplace. Champagne cellars, riding stables, tanning salons, even historical English bedchambers become hotbeds of lesbian experiments. Converting or not, all embrace the journey of sexual exploration.

Introduction
Katy Perry’s hit song I Kissed a Girl brought bisexuality to the forefront. I admit I
was amazed when I heard my neighbor’s five-year-old daughter singing the entire song,
never missing a word or beat. Alternative lifestyles are open for discussion—no longer
taboo.
Since Dr. Alfred Kinsey released his first reports on human sexual behavior in
1948, society has been in the process of accepting that almost all healthy men and women
have some homosexual tendencies. Instead of hiding these inclinations in shame, it’s time
to celebrate our desires and be comfortable in our own skin. No labels, no judgment—
only enlightenment and tolerance.
I’m not suggesting that all humans are bisexual. As I have discovered, being
aroused by an erotic story doesn’t label anyone. I can get excited reading BDSM, but
don’t try spanking me in bed. Because I am passionate about same-sex erotica does not
make me bisexual, but it has enhanced my ability to love and accept.
This anthology is a collection of lesbian first-time encounters. I am delighted with
the diversity of this collection. I hope you enjoy and share my passion for exploring new
boundaries.

Warning: Stories contained within this anthology may elicit arousal, regardless of sexual persuasion.

Sex was not an open topic in my home or community, thus I grew up ashamed of my sexuality, going to great lengths to control it. Primarily, I got involved with the church. Ultimately, that proved unsuccessful and I gave that up too. Now, I embrace my sensual needs. I celebrate my femininity and encourage you to do so too, as long as you practice safe sex. Be who you are. Be true to yourself.

Much of Playgril is autobiographical. Like me, Alena turned to the church to protect her from sexual urges. She was even fearful of enjoying her husband too much. Who knew where it might lead if she unleashed her desires. Gradually she learns to let go of her inhibitions and fears and becomes the dynamic, sexual woman she was born to be. It’s a process, a journey. I’m still on that journey. I look forward to what tomorrow will teach me. How about you?

Hey Peeps,

Sorry I haven’t been around lately (if anyone is still readig this?). Life certainly has a way of distracting me. Guess I need to get my priorities in order, huh? Or, maybe I should start with listing my priorities. I’m going in three different directions with my writing right now. I start one and get inspired for anoher, and the circle continues. It probably has something to do with Mercury Retrograde. And then to complicate things evey more I’m having difficulty communicating on Facebook, Twitter and the social networking engines. But life goes on. Does Mercury have anyone else ready to scream?

I confess I’ve also been spending too much time in bed snuggling with my man on these cold Florida mornings. We don’t get many of these so need to take advantage of it while it lasts. What a treat to spoon all night and not get too warm. Our early morning times are the foundation of our relationship–what gets us through the difficult times. What gets you through the rough times in your relationship?

Alena, the main character in Playgirl, had very little in common with her husband. How did she survive? Her two sons became her life, but when they left for college she was left alone. The church kept her going for awhile but when she accidentally stumbled into an interactive porn chat room her life changed forever. Is Alena the only woman who has ever been addicted to porn?

The Brettsturbation session is referenced in Chapter 5 of Playgirl. If you like this, you’ll love Playgirl. So tell me, what gets you going? What do you think about when you masterbate? How do you do it? Tell me….

Hugs,

Regina

Have any of you lived a strict, legalistic, and/or judgmental life? Did you at some point discover you couldn’t live up to the standard any longer? You will love Playgirl if you can identify.

Tell me your standards. Have you lived up to them? Did you give up? What was the trigger? Are you happier now?
Tell me.

Hugs,

Regina
