My Box: A Public Invitation

    Graphic by Sasha Costello

    Welcome to My Box, where I answer all of your tantalizing sex questions. Who runs My Box, you ask? Hi, I’m your Mistress, and I run My Box.

    Like in all sexual encounters, you should know your partner a little bit before you begin. So here’s an my introduction. I will take my clothes off piece by piece. Eventually I’ll be naked.

    I hope you recognize undressing – metaphorically or physically – in front of someone else is not easy, and that is the same for every person you have sex with.

    So who is your Mistress? I am a Weinberg senior woman. I love my dog, and like my dog I can touch my tongue to my nose. Salty-sweet food is my vice. If I could have any superpower, I would choose teleportation. In terms of my sexual history, I lost my virginity at 18. The weirdest place I’ve had sex was in a neighbor’s yard during the afternoon. I think sex is awesome and everyone should do it. I also think everyone should warm up to sex at their own pace.

    I have only had sex with men. While I believe I could be attracted to any person, at this point that has been limited to men. Still, I will try to write in a way that reduces heteronormativity to the best of my abilities.

    Here’s a big one: I love sex. Shocker right? I love discussing it, researching it, thinking about it, and mostly, having it. Having My Box is amazing because I get an excuse to daydream about sex – not that you need one.

    That wasn’t always the case. Growing up in a conservative household, I thought sex was wrong. I thought sex was an opportunity for men to take advantage of women. Where women should focus on pleasing the man. I thought sex could only occur between a man and woman.

    I wasn’t necessarily taught to think this way, but it was a lack of education that made me think this way. We don’t talk about sex in my family. My parent’s don’t know I’m sexually active. They think I’m writing a column about music. And I will write about music…the best music for sex. Shhh!

    Despite my passion for passion, I do not know everything about sex. And that’s why I’m here. To uncover the unknowns, feel out the dark corners, and hopefully help you do the same.

    This column is for every person feeling curious about sexual topics. Sifting through the sexual unknown can be challenging. Enter, your Mistress. Consider me an avenue towards sexual exploration. I will ask questions you are too embarrassed to ask, and hopefully find some answers too. In the privacy of my home, the unknown of someone else’s, and (gasp!) in public spaces, I will delve into sexual questions so you can have a little knowledge before experimenting on your own.

    If you are at all unsure about sex, know that you aren’t alone. Even the most experienced lovers don’t know everything, and everyone gets self conscious about their ability and image. But sex isn’t about being good. Sex is about feeling good, especially about yourself – whether someone else is involved is up to you.

    Now who are you? Come on…I undressed and now it’s your turn.


    Love always,

    The Mistress
