The Spinster's Exploits

Sex, sensuality and possibly spanking after seventy…

  • Happy New year – officially! I like to have a positive start and have had a lovely day which may just sound a tad boring, but worked for me! Had a leisurely start and a bath once the house had heated up and read P&P from the tub – very un-Austen behaviour I suspect! I…

  • I hate saying happy New year before it actually happens, but WhatsApp is full of effusive greetings. I like to start the new year as positively as possible, and this year have also ended 2025 positively and delightfully as well – and very spinsterish! I am home alone once again – and – again –…

  • …though not necessarily in that order… I woke happily and early to my turkey crown gently cooking in the slow cooker and prepared for a day of indulgence. I decided to be properly dressed, and as planning on trousers, required knickers. Most of the time I go commando, but not usually with trousers or tights.…

  • …and happily so. I am enjoying this season of festivity and having a new polyamorous lover in my life that I’m sort of dating. We had a couple of sleepovers at his around the Solstice and I went to my sister’s for a Solstice lunch. And at his, I was cooked for and looked after…

  • I try not to assume what my lover wants or is up for, but of course one does assume and have patterns – nevertheless I try… Once again, I had had an amazingly erotic time, resulting in my orgasm through lots of attention from him and my trusty vibe – and it was obviously good…

  • …the fabulous words of Libby Purves on some of the shady ladies of Ambridge on the Radio 4 Archers Podcast – as insults go, this is a fabulous way to put down the less sexually continent! And a good reminder of the amazing history of some of the womenfolk and a reflection of the changes…

  • It’s 250 years ago this week that Jane Austen was born and she’s being celebrated on the Beeb and elsewhere, so I thought I’d re-read the “big six”. On checking order, I came across “Lady Susan”, an epistolary novella that pre-dates the big hitters. I think I’ve read it before. But it made less of…

  • So it’s been a while since I blogged – sometimes life gets in the way of writing and of sex and play, but I love the way sex and play can be in one’s connection with one’s lover – and so it is,  even when we don’t do more than have a quick snog or…

  • I tend to watch catch-up TV and I pay ITV and Channel 4 catch-up to be ad-free. Now Netflix are showing some ads and I’ve watched some live TV recently, I am now taking part in that great British pastime – moaning about the ads! The one I absolutely hate is the one with people…

  • I am reminded of the great Otis Redding song composed and written by Woods, Campbell and Cornelly. An unexpected weekend made me take time to think about friendships, relationships and love in its many varied forms. My friend Nina who is a whole six months my senior, is having health problems that are potentially life…
