That time I went on a first date to an art gallery was pretty memorable. Beckmann’s, Klee’s and Kandinsky’s, Die Brücke, Bauhaus, and German Expressionist—all those denounced by the Nazis as Jewish, Bolshevik, degenerate. Considering that I kink on both Modernism and on the raw Foucauldian power of interwar fascism, I was pretty turned on. We ended up teasing each other on a park bench. — Sir

Surviving the first year of long distance is an accomplishment for any relationship, polyamorous or not. —Sir

It’s never bothered me. I used to find it cute, but just not sexy or kinky in any way. However, it’s grown on me quite a bit over the past year. While I don’t identify as a caregiver “Daddy Dom,” sometimes I do enjoy Ivy in little mode, in which I’m somewhat of a “dirty uncle” or “the boy Daddies warn about,” in a rough, corrupting kind of way. And when I am somewhat Daddylike, it’s a reluctant caretaker of the innocent, like Jean Reno in Léon. — Sir

So long as no real babies result from the penis!

Any suggestions for boob costumes? The Two Trees of Valinor? The pink and blue Ice Climbers? – Sir

The most difficult challenge has nothing to do with other people. Setting boundaries, providing and obtaining security, and seeking other partners all require knowledge of my own needs, what I’m good at, and what I ought to work on. These aren’t easy questions. — Sir

anon asked: what would you do if Craftsmate told you that you couldnt cum for the next year but had to edge every day? would you listen or tell him it was too much?

Nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope.

I’m too much of a greedy girl. I would tell him it was way too much. Cumming is fun and intimate and nice and I dun wanna.

anon asked: Hi Ivy! it’s me, the anon that recommended Paul Dempsey’s “Out the Airlock” from his solo album “Everything is True”. I have another for you today! Megan Washington’s debut album “I Believe You Liar” is a really beautiful one. Especially “Lover/Soldier”, that’s probably my favourite song on the album. I wholly recommend it, I hope you enjoy listening to Megan’s songs.

Oooh. Thank you! I love when you guys suggest music to me and all sorts of nice stuff instead of just sending me weird “unf unf wanna stick my dick in your ear” asks. Thank you for the suggestion and more are always welcome!

anon asked: My husband came home! I ran at him and he scooped me up and held me for a long time until he said he couldn’t breathe because I was smushing his face. The kinky stuff comes later. I hope you and your Sir had a good reunion as well! – kind anon

Awww. This is so sweet. Reunions are so cute. My father wound up picking me up at the airport because he was in the area and the weather was awful. He drove me down to Sir’s and the three of us got dinner together. He and I kept smiling at each other across the table at each other and I wanted to jump up and kiss him over and over. Which I did later.

anon asked: Have you and Craftsmate talked at all about moving closer together/moving in together?

Bah, it’s complicated. Obviously in the future we want to live together. But, my program’s keeping me out where I am another two and a half years. He doesn’t have a ton of opportunities doing what he wants to do out by me, which I get, and the places he wants to go to are places I actually would want to live if I wasn’t doing this program. He’s applying to work somewhere near me, among other places, so we’ll see how the cookie crumbles.
