Monogamy is…well, was.

Monogamy is overly consumed, boring and over simplified. When you hear that from someone who’s been a serial monogamist, you should pay some attention. I say that because it’s so heteronormative; that is totally forced into relationships since it’s the acceptable hetrosexual norm. I don’t want monogamy to be a default that is stamped into [ READ MORE ]

How out is out in Amman?

Here are the different stages most people I know are in, ordered from least out to most out. Mode 1: 1. Out to a girlfriend who identifies as straight. 2. Out to girlfriend who identifies as bi. 3. Out to a girlfriend who identifies as confused. 4. Out to a girlfriend who identifies as lesbian/gay. [ READ MORE ]

Reporting from lesboland!

So it’s been a while since I tapped into lesboland. So what’s new? Faces. Yes new faces! Different attitudes, culture and comfort levels. Refreshing in a sexy zest to explore more of what’s out there. Yet from an emotional distance, observing, smiling, projecting and analyzing. First observations: - much more Dare-ness to touch without too [ READ MORE ]

Lesbian culture from a generational perspective

Through my recent obsession of culture in general, and an exploratory trip into the broader lesbian culture locally I am finding a huge generational lingo gap. Huge enough to leave me complexed and totally confused at to what is meant by what. I consider my self to be of the few in what i call [ READ MORE ]

all the same all so tiring

So I haven’t written in a long time. It’s not that my lesbian life hasn’t been eventful but maybe I was just uninspired anymore. On a some big level its because I am tired from the lesbian scene in Amman, on the scene/groups level and not necessarily from individuals that is. The same stories, the [ READ MORE ]

Love & desire

It’s amazing how we are capable to turn a desire or a lust for someone into something bigger. No wonder a lot of straight people get married and then come 10 years later to a miserable life,  a separation or a divorce. Gay people get the same ending as well. With different labels maybe… You [ READ MORE ]

Singer: Majida AL Roumi

There hasn’t been a time yet when I murmured the words “Majida Al Roumi” in front of any lesbian I know in which I didn’t hear a story about their big crush on her at some point in their lives. Well I for one, had a big crush on her some time when I was 15 [ READ MORE ]

What kind of lesbian are you?

Lesbonster: A monster for a lesbian. Scary. Lesdrag: Usually femme, and a drag queen in the closet. Lesbineer: A lesbian with a tool box inside her backpack. Lesbarian: The lesbian who reads more than she has sex. Lesbabblian: Yes, the lesbian who can’t stop talking or babbling. Lesbossip: The one who has/starts all the gossip. [ READ MORE ]

Lesbians and aging

We are mortal. But we age so very gracefully. Any lesbian you meet, guess her age. Then add about 5-8 years to it to get to her true age. Really. I love it. You might ask why do we age so gracefully? I don’t know why. But I know it to be a fact. Some [ READ MORE ]

The perfect date

One of the perks of being a gay woman in Amman, is the lack of a true dating culture. They meet at a party, or at a friends gathering. At the bar or mostly online. They go talk one time in person then very very soon one jumps the other. Boom. Sex was good. then [ READ MORE ]
