		<description><![CDATA[The really fantastic thing about summer, and it nearly goes without saying, is the marvelous paucity of clothing. The sheerness of the fabrics, the slenderness of the straps, the floatiness of the skirts, the way that the summer air itself becomes more of a garment than what we put on in the morning.

		<description><![CDATA[I slept naked last night. I don&#8217;t usually. Usually, when I sleep naked, I feel my breasts try to run away from me at night; they scamper in my sleep like puppies. Hence the tank top to corral them into slumberous submission. The pajama bottoms are just for balance. Or occasionally for warmth.
But last night, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[  There are five components to a human&#8217;s sense of taste: salty, sweet, sour, bitter and umami. Salty and sweet are fairly straightforward-salt and sugar, basically. Sour and bitter are a bit more ambiguous-a lemon is sour, but its seeds are bitter, and often these two sensations are intermingled making it difficult to conceive [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The bad girl.. She&#8217;s generally inappropriately dressed, or dressed incompletely. She&#8217;s the one in the upskirt shots, playing all faux-surprise flashy-flashy with her panties or her naked nethers with the paparazzi. She might be the one who is admitting some truth a bit too titillating to be wholly healy to Oprah, or whomever. She poses [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday, I woke from a nap with a sex dream. In this one, as in almost all of my sex dreams, I was masturbating. Rarely does my unconscious gift me with dreams of extracurricular activity. It likes me to rely on my own devious devices. It&#8217;s a shame, really. I&#8217;d like a dream about being [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[To me it seems
that man has the fortune of gods,
whoever sits beside you, and close,
who listens to you sweetly speaking
and laughing temptingly;
my heart flutters in my breast,
whenever I look quickly, for a moment -
I say nothing, my tongue broken,
a delicate fire runs under my skin,
my eyes see nothing, my ears roar,
cold sweat rushes down me,
trembling [...]]]></description>

This followed a week when, within my immediate circle, a friend&#8217;s friend died suddenly at 28; a wildfire threatened a home, a beloved parent had emergency surgery and was diagnosed with cancer; a beloved [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For sex to be truly al fresco it must take place in the unobstructed great outdoors. Inside a human-made structure, however penetrable to the peering eyes of willing-or hapless-voyeurs, doesn&#8217;t really count. This criterion of al fresco sexÂ  inherently needing to be unencumbered by human structure precludes allowing sex in a tent, or in a [...]]]></description>

I remember that her hair was shortish and pixie-like, but given that it was 1984, that would hardly differentiate her from most chicks, myself included. We were almost all of us sporting asymmetrical choppy hairstyles that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I started masturbating at around twelve. As far as I can remember, my orgasms then were kind of like a box lunch: contained, satisfying, pleasurable, sometimes even surprisingly so, but nothing to write home about. I certainly enjoyed them enough to rub myself raw in the process of procuring them. I enjoyed them enough to [...]]]></description>
