It’s been exactly a year today since I got the call from Dad — his voice trembling, broken — telling me that Mum was gone. I could hear the wailing in the background. At least he wasn’t alone. It was devastating, but, in truth, not unexpected. Earlier that morning, he’d messaged to say she was unresponsive and… Continue reading The Funeral Was Grand, But I Needed a Quiet Goodbye
Sex In Puglia – Part 3
Ah! So, I woke up the next morning and convinced myself that my unhinged idea was rational. It was the last day of my holiday — that bittersweet limbo between checkout and check-in at the airport and my flight wasn’t until late at night, so I had time. In fact, I had plenty of time. The kind of time… Continue reading Sex In Puglia – Part 3
Sex In Puglia – Part 2
The next day - Saturday - I rolled out of bed, grabbed a shower, and tucked into breakfast before heading out just before noon. My destination? Torre Guaceto, about a 30-minute drive from Ostuni, where I was staying. Torre Guaceto is a magnificent marine protected area and nature reserve located in the region of Puglia, this coastal gem… Continue reading Sex In Puglia – Part 2
Sex In Puglia
In my last post, I casually mentioned—okay, teased —the fact that I accidentally found myself in a bukkake situation on a nudist beach in the south of Italy. Naturally, I couldn’t just drop that bombshell and not follow up. So, as promised, here’s the unfiltered, slightly implausible tale of how it all began… Puglia, also… Continue reading Sex In Puglia

Homophobia – It Is What It Is
You scroll through your Twitter feed, and you come across a tweet “Homophobia hurts everyone in the long run”. It is one of those annoying esoteric tweets without any discernible context, where the author expects his myriad of followers to know what he is tweeting about. And if they don’t, they are expected to massage… Continue reading Homophobia – It Is What It Is
The forgetful Daddy
It was my birthday a few months ago, but I forgot to wish myself a Happy Birthday in the third person on social media, as people are wont to do these days. By the time I remembered it was in my opinion, too late to "thank people for their kind messages and wishes", even though… Continue reading The forgetful Daddy

Sex in Lagos – The Revisit
The last 2 years I have had a very nonchalant attitude towards meeting anyone on Grindr and other hook up apps. However, as a hangover from the heady years when for me getting laid was like an Olympic sport and the body count equated to winning Olympic medals, I still find myself habitually going on them to… Continue reading Sex in Lagos – The Revisit
