My grandmother started to ask me which pieces of jewelry of hers I liked. I am not a big jewelry wearer. I removed most of my piercing a couple years ago, mostly out of utilitarian purpose. I find jewelry beautiful yet cumbersome. Jewelry also has this interesting status of financial investment and emotional heirloom. As [...]
Looking for a good time and some hot ladies? Hit the S.F. strip, North Beach Broadway area where you’ll find an array of strip clubs with dazzling lights and hot bodies. Yesterday was my roomate’s birthday. Despite that she’s an S.F. native, she has never been to the clubs. I saw this as an opportunity [...]
My homework for the month was to remain present during conversations where I felt personally attacked or found emotionally taxing.
I have found that I am angry. I am tired of being others emotional dumpster or karmic recycling bin. At first I had sympathy and found myself absorbing a lot of others’ frustrations or sadness. Now [...]
Man I am tired! It’s been a busy week here with all the hustle and bustle of the big VDay. To be honest I didn’t really plan anything. I get so caught up in the VDAY of work that I forget to intergrate it into my personal life.
I am on double duty with this one [...]
Ah, the wonderful world of television. So many things it has brought into our lives like professional sports, science fiction based intergalactic travel, Janet Jackson’s boob, and let us not forget PORN! There are many things I see on the old boob tube that leave me in states of awe and wonderment. Many of which [...]

I went this weekend, it was terrific. Getting to see your friends and local celebs perform in their own community is phenomenal. Our own Dr. Carol Queen did a little reading, bondage superstar Madison Young did a live suspension bondage act, author Stephen Elliot talked about going vanilla, Kirk Read performed an outstandingly [...]
My horoscope was right and I am having an incredible week! Syd had three shoots! Two wrestling fetish and one ’soft’ lesbian scene, diametrically opposed almost. Versatility is a great asset as an ‘actor.’ To be able to do a soft, sensuous and slow girl-girl scene one day then two hardcore Domination/Submission scenes the next [...]
It’s a slow day here at the office. You”ll find thin layers of eyeliner and glitter around everyones eyes. Yesterday was our annual holiday ball held at club NV with esteemed guests such as Carol Queen, Margaret Cho, and Candye Kane.
The evening started off with a bang as Jack Davis showcased his delicious wears in [...]
I think Thanksgiving is possibly the worst day to drive. Like many other family visit procrastinators, I left 4 hours later than planned to join my family in what is typically a 1.5 hour drive away. Add holiday to the mix and that drive turns into a 4-hour wait in gridlock. About 2.5 hours into [...]

Much like how life inspires art and visa versa, Folsom Fair Weekend inspires
many of us here in S.F. Watching throngs of naked and/or leather clad folk
milling about the public streets really gets the creative juices flowin’.
Perhaps you’re not ready to show the world what you’re made of in a
leather cock ring [...]
Dear Syd,
Not to pry, but I noticed that you mentioned a threesome in your blog recently. I was wondering if you could give me some advice?
I’ve participated in 4+ sex but never the delicate three.
What are your experiences with three, and do you have any warning or tips or anything?
Sincerely, D.
Dear D,
Three-ways [...]
One of the many wonderful things about working here is that you get to learn oh so much about sex and sexuality. It’s your job even. I am a trained sex educator with the mandatory 24 hours of education, two years direct experience in our retail stores as well as helping many through the [...]
I work too much. Anyone who knows me knows this. It’s understandable considering that I have some of the greatest jobs on earth! This week I took a little break from the GV desk to head down south. A vacation to do a business trip sounds like a bum rap, but it when it [...]
Working at Good Vibrations, I’ve often heard many people express concern and discomfort about talking to children about sex. After receiving a rather belated, yet thorough sex education, I decided it was time to share my knowledge with those who needed it the most… my parents. In this strange role reversal, I found myself in [...]
It’s Tuesday and I am still recovering from this weekend. I think that LGBT Pride weekend should be acknowledged as a national holiday and be at least a four day weekend. Do you really expect any member of the queer spectrum to be functioning properly after three days of gayly celebrating?
While I continue to attempt [...]
