Writing

A selection of my favorite pieces:

  • Your Tango
    I’ve been an Assistant Editor at YourTango since November 2009 but, a full year before that, I wrote this piece on “How Marriage Got Me Out of Debt.” It’s since led to appearances on both TV and radio. I’m so thrilled to be the poster child for shopping problems. :)
  • Nerve
    I wrote a good number of pieces for Nerve when I worked there as an editorial intern, and also eventually led a products blog on the site. But the piece I’m most proud of is “Pulling It Off,” a personal essay on body/intimacy issues, and being painted in the nude.
  • Playgirl
    Playgirl is the very first glossy magazine I managed to break into. Here’s my travel piece on sex parties around the world.
  • Time Out New York
    In “Sex Play for Prudes,” I had the pleasure of chatting with some New Yorkers who were working hard to demystify sex for the perpetually, sexually shy.
  • Lemondrop
    I had a lot of fun as a sex toy reviewer for AOL’s Lemondrop. One of the weirdest toys I tried? The Sexerciseball.
  • The Frisky
    Those few sex parties I’ve attended? They’ve made for some great story fodder. One of my favorite assignments was this piece I did for The Frisky, on how “Sex Parties Helped Me Overcome My Intimacy Issues.”
  • New York Press
    I’ve done a few pieces for New York Press, but this is the only personal essay. It’s about finding (at least temporary) love on NJ Transit.
