So well observed - especially the devastating solo reality of the kink bomb. Also reminds me of an anecdote told by James Cooper on an episode of My Dad Wrote a Porno where, essentially, he wakes up to realise that the cute guy he’d been flirting with on Tinder was (inexplicably) himself.
It’s a podcast! It’s over now but it was absolutely hilarious. Each week Jamie Morton would read one chapter of the terrible - but completely earnest - erotic fiction that his dad wrote (hence the title). Highly recommended!
So glad you reposted this as I missed it the first time around. I met husband in IRL, at a party. Seems weirdly stone age now, as for pictures of other people's genitals, well, I frankly don't see the appeal 🤔
As always, just loving, loving your work. We must NEVER meet.
In a side note, I got the collected short stories of PKD many years ago and read them. It was really illuminating to see how his ideas and themes developed over time, how he kept revisiting and re-exploring things. Top man.

Thanks Alice! I've never seen that show but it sounds funny 😊

Haha sounds great!
I met The Muse online, but the online dating world of today seems wildly different to that of 14 years ago. Enid Blyton compared to Philly KD.
I think it's still possible to meet someone nice online, but you have to be determined and strategic!

At a party sounds like the best way to meet anyone!
Dating apps are amazing and disturbing places, my next piece is about them.
I think if you're going to send a dick pic, make an effort and put some goggely cartoon eyes on them. Perhaps even a little moustache.
Wonderful piece!
Haha I did write a whole post about dick pics - it's called Is That Your Dick or Are You Just Pleased to See Me? It'll be behind the paywall I guess.
All the best dicks are.
The kinky bomb reminds me of Shadowy Mister Evans from Doom Patrol.
I don't know what any of that is! But they're welcome to my kinky bomb if they want it!
As a supermarket ‘aisle boy’, I warn you — the wet pet foods ones are the ones to watch out for come the kinky bomb.
Haha okay good shout! I'll keep my wits about me!

He is one of my favourite writers of all time. And thanks!
I hadn’t read this one before and it’s very funny, thanks, Georgina!
Thanks Wendy!
