Relationship, dating and adult-oriented blogging

Below is a selection of my most read blog posts (based on wordpress stats):

From Life, Liberty & Pursuit of Your Boyfriend – a personal blog based on personal relationship (and single-hood) history. My writing style is described as “acerbic wit,” mainly, with the humor of a 12-year-old. Or the mindset of a perverted uncle.  Most topics and language is NSFW (in most conservative offices), but none of the photographic evidence to make the view from afar uncomfortable. I love writing on this blog! While keeping my personal experiences in check, it is incredibly freeing as a writer to have no specific “rules” other than to entertain.

On long-distance relationships.

Then, the cons of a LDR.

Why hand holding is so important (and intimate!).

What to do when Suddenly Single.

My retort to Commitment-phobes.

My weekly Penis Tuesday feature has been a huge draw for traffic (as told through analytics based on visitor spikes on that day of every week)! A little perverse, but always an informational and fun discussion on the male reproductive organs.

There are a handful of folks who will discredit my experience or writing ability based on this topic. I believe the regular posts show my strength in research, as well as the ability to humor an audience, AND my fearlessness at educating readers — no matter how uncomfortable a topic. Writers need to be fearless. We need to educate. We need to entertain. Writing about sexual orientation, gender studies and the experience itself can be as eye-opening, (funny) and controversial as politics.

Not only that, but I have posted a column every week for TWO YEARS. How is that for commitment?

    This idea has reached a whole new level courtesy of on-line blog services that you can take anywhere. Since most commuters spend more time online, blogs like Melinda Urick – Relationship, dating and adult-oriented blogging help them kick their research into overdrive, Tai Rinnert
