Swim • an Unholy Baptism

by KatieP, in category Health | Sexuality

When I was a kid, my father, a builder, came home from work early, almost straight after we got home from school. When he finished putting away his wooden ruler, his mitre box and his hammers, he bundled us into the car. My brother and I wore faded swimmers and carried our towels. Our beach… Read More

Loving the Trolls • How to Deal with Online Abuse

by KatieP, in category Head | Creativity

Getting comments on my blog used to be the highlight of my day. When I got an email notification in my inbox, I would rush to open it, thrilled that someone had taken the time to comment on something I had written. These days — not so much. Almost every day I receive an abusive comment… Read More

How an Altar Boy Became the Other Man

by KatieP, in category Health | Sexuality

As someone who has both outgrown religion, and who has been swept up in an affair, I am fascinated when I hear of a similar experience. Austin’s story is particularly interesting to me because he tells it from a male point of view. If you have ever wondered what goes on inside the mind of the opposite sex,… Read More

Modern Dating Etiquette • The Ten Commandments

by KatieP, in category Heart | Dating

(1) Thou shalt not use a profile photograph which has been digitally altered. Soft lighting and makeup can be used to accentuate your charms, but retouching with Photoshop is being dishonest. “You look nothing like your photo” should not be the first thing your date says when he meets you. (2) Thou shalt not delay meeting in… Read More

The Secret to Making a Modest Living Online

by KatieP, in category Head | Creativity

I‘ve been trying to make money online since I first started blogging back in 2007. I have followed all the advice and tried more schemes than I care to remember. But none of it worked.

A Valentine’s Day Dirge

by KatieP, in category Heart | Love & Romance

Valentine’s Day sucks. Which may sound odd coming from someone who ceaselessly praises love and sex, but it is true. I am not a fan. My mother and father were married in a small Baptist Church on Valentine’s Day in 1959. They are no longer together. They are still technically married but my father now lives in a… Read More

How to Survive Rejection Without Losing Your Mind

by KatieP, in category Heart | Dating

You’ve been dating him for a few months now and things are going well. Or so you thought until one morning, out of the blue, you get a text message saying he doesn’t want to see you any more. When you call him, the only reason he gives is because he can’t see a future with… Read More

Female Orgasms • The Surprising Secret No One Mentions

by KatieP, in category Health | Sexuality

You’re lying wide awake in bed, listening to your partner snore. He has drifted blissfully off to sleep in a post-coital haze of satisfaction. But you’re not so lucky. You are quietly seething. Your partner didn’t give you an orgasm and you’re not happy about it. But you have no right to be upset. Your partner… Read More

The Beauty of Imperfection • a spot of DIY

by KatieP, in category Head | Creativity
the beauty of imperfection DIY

I have owned these bedside tables since the 1980’s. I bought them in natural pine, but soon painted them black to match the waterbed(!) I had at the time. They have been through a marriage, out the other side and are still used in our master bedroom. After all these years a makeover was well overdue. My boyfriend… Read More

Don’t Settle for Comfortable • Seek Love

by KatieP, in category Heart | Love & Romance
seek love

I spent a long time thinking relationships should be the variety my parents have — a polite, comfortable, solid, long-term, come hell or high water kind of love. When I got married I thought I was signing up for one of those kinds of relationships. We were friends, we lived in the same house, we… Read More

Author – Katie Paul

I have survived adoption, bulimia and the suicide of my husband, more or less unscathed. I attribute my resilience to my guardian angels Bob, Fred and Hugo.

I used to be a stage manager but gave it all up to create beautiful images and to write about loss, love, lust and longing. I get a bit raunchy at times because that’s the way life should be – full of big juicy moments. I'm sure Bob, Fred and Hugo agree.
