Who am I?

Why, I’m Essin’ Em!

Not much help, right?  Well, let me fill you in a bit.

I was formerly the resident ’sexpert’ at HotMoviesForHer.com, a porn site by women, for women, and I currently work freelance for EdenFantasys.com.  You can read me at www.essin-em.com, www.edenfantasys.com, in a few erotica anthologies, and in various other places on the net, and in print (both as Essin’ Em, and as my real world sex educator self).

Originally from Colorado, I left her beloved Rocky Mountains to make my way to the East Coast, where I have just finished up her Master’s in Human Sexuality Education at Widener University before I was FINALLY able to return to my beloved Rockies. I identify myselfas a liberal, sex-positive, feminist, queer, agnostic Jewish humanist Femme (say that three times fast), and am especially interested in comprehensive sexuality education, sex worker rights, expanding the scope and gaze of the sex industry, and queer/feminist rights. Sex is my passion in everyway imaginable (and perhaps some that are not!), and I hope that I can encourage more women (and men! And those not elsewhere on the gender spectrum) to take charge of their sex lives, ask for what they want, initiate more communication with their partners, and overall, just be able to have awesome sex, however they might define that. I like fun, well-made porn that features real people having real orgasms (and I hate “cum shots”, kink in its many forms, and learning about new facets of sexuality that widen my horizons even more. Well-made glass, metal and silicone toys rock my world (I probably have more sex toys than anyone you’ve ever met!), and she collects sex books (erotic and educational) as a hobby (and I KNOW I have more of those than anyone you know!).

Not enough? You want specifics?

I am:a college graduate, a Master’s of Education candidate, a feminist, a daughter, a sister, bisexual to those not in the know, pansexual to those in the know, open to all genders, attracted to whomever I am attracted to, a fierce femme, interested in human sexuality, owner and lover of two cats, eclectic, unique, allergic to pink, a vegetarian for 16 years and counting, an insommniac, an internet addict, a non-smoker, an agnostic, a Jewish Humanist, a minister for the Universal Life Church, a friend, a shoulder to cry on, a listening ear, a counselor, a kid, an adult, a woman, a female, a sexual assault survivor, someone working to prevent sexual assault, a dancer, a chocoholic, in love with reading books all the time, a crime show watcher, a Buffy lover, a chick-flick hater, a cook, a sleep lover, a lover of girly drinks and wine, someone who loves to shake it with the best of them, someone who drops it like it’s hot, a former theatre teacher, a former figure skater, a former hockey player, a roller derby (former) skater, current referee and lover, a triple knee surgery survivor, an erotic story creator, someone who loves to drive naked (as well as be naked!), a community outreach coordinator, a sex columnist/sex tips writer, an ethical porn viewer, someone in the adult entertainment industry that isn’t in the movies, a sex toy reviewer, a writer…and much much more.
