It was close to midnight when I walked out of the business centre, having caught up on my emails. I was flustered. My business suit felt overly restrictive and my bra way too tight. I unbuttoned the top two buttons of my blouse in an attempt to cool myself down. My hormones were on fire. That last email from David was totally unexpected. It seemed so real. I wondered if it was a real experience or just a fantasy. Either w...

It was the end of a long day at the office. I flew in to Chicago on the early red eye flight to assist with a class action case. I only left the office at nine pm and dinner was take-away Sushi while walking back to the Sheraton. It’s now eleven pm and I am sitting in the business services office on level two of the hotel. I could not get the wireless internet working in my room and I could not get myself to relax watchin...

I didn't plan for a stopover on my flight between Zurich and New York. They told us that the one engine was overheating and needed urgent repair. We landed at an airport outside Lisbon, and since we were going to be stranded for a whole day they took all the passengers by bus to a sea village close by. It was humid and hot and my jeans were sticking to me. It was so uncomfortable. I got off the bus at the village and went...

At the end of my first year of college, my best friend Samantha and I went backpacking in Sydney, Australia. It was a great place to holiday, with plenty of sun, glorious beaches and lots of things to see and do.We had been there a month staying at a backpackers’ lodge near the beach and although we were out nightly at the pubs and nightspots, we were not meeting any guys.We are attractive girls and at the time we dressed...

I remember a guy I once went on a date with embarrassingly telling me that he would masturbate daily, as if this was something out of the ordinary and that he had an unusually enormous sex drive. He then asked me if I ever masturbated. He nearly had a heart attack when I told him that I did, most times more than once a day. I don't know why guys think women are prudes with no sexual appetite. I don't think I am some sort...

It's not easy being twenty-two, fresh out of university with a degree, and not being able to find a job. You feel self-assured with the graduation certificate, why wouldn't you? It's all you have been working towards for four years. I really thought journalism was different, but I, like my friends, had a taste of reality, and along with it, great humility. I changed tactics and applied for any job that may get me in the d...

I flew to Perth to spend the weekend with my friend Kate, who lives there. Although she is so different from me, we have managed to stay close friends for years. She is vivacious, outgoing and has great model-like looks.I had gone to watch her take part in an annual bodypainting competition. She recently qualified as a beautician, and her beauty school takes part in a national inter-beauty-school bodypainting competition....

It was a Saturday night, almost 1 am. I was sitting on the subway after meeting a friend for a movie in the city. The cabin was empty except for a guy sitting on the bench next to me, a girl on her own sitting on the bench opposite me and another couple of girls sitting next to her. The girl on her own was dressed in the full clubbing attire. She wore a short, short black cotton dress, which showed off her long tanned, to...

I was a student visiting Munich. I had spent the morning touring the local art museum to get out of the blistering heat. I was wearing my jeans and red blouse with the buttons down the front, not the best attire for the hot weather, but all my skimpier clothes like shorts and t-shirts were being dry cleaned.The heat just hit me as I stepped outside. Within a few minutes, I felt sweaty and uncomfortable again. I looked acr...

The internet is quite amazing. It provides a channel to access easily those experiences that are impossible to find without it. I was surfing the web and I found a site that looked like a dating site but was more than that. It had postings from men looking for women and women looking for men, offering all sorts of discreet liaisons. I discovered the abbreviation ‘NSA,’ which means ‘no strings attached.’ In other words, tw...

My boyfriend, David and I on were on our way back to Australia flying on Swiss International. We were to switch flights at Zurich but had a few hours between flights to play with. We decided to explore the city rather than stay at the airport.We got to the centre of Zurich. It was mid-afternoon on a Sunday and all the shops were closed. Apparently, the Swiss don't do business on Sundays. We walked the streets and came acr...

It was such a shock to me when I was on a weekend away with my boyfriend Eric and a friend of mine, Tania. It was mid-afternoon and we had just returned from an eight-kilometer run. I was getting a glass of water to drink in the kitchen and Eric was sitting in the lounge watching TV. In walked Tania, from the bathroom, wearing only her black spandex halter top she wore for jogging. In her hands she was holding the spandex...

I was onboard flight United Air 678 from Sydney to Los Angeles. I was sitting in the economy class cabin. The flight was full; there was no room to breathe, let alone move. My seat was at the rear end of the plane at a window of a three-seat section. I felt claustrophobic and was not looking forward to the fourteen-hour nonstop flight. I always requested the aisle seat but this flight was so overbooked I had to take what...

I was home after a day at college, getting dressed to go to an early evening aerobics class at the gym. I slid out of my denim jeans and pulled a pair of black spandex shorts over my white g string cotton panties; pulled off my jumper and put on a black halter top over my bra. I went to brush my hair in the bathroom, when I noticed the door was shut. I opened it to go in not thinking much, when I saw Jeremy, my 18-year ol...

Since I was introduced to yoga, every morning I would pack my yoga mat, a pair of tights and a crop top into my bag and try to get to a class after work. On this day, on my way home from work I went to an Ashtanga Yoga class at A-Yoga, a new Ashtanga Yoga studio along the shopping strip near where I lived. It was a good yoga class, ninety minutes of practicing the Asthanga series of standing and sitting poses. It was only...
