Welcome to Of Sex and Love, the personal site of Adriana Ravenlust, sex blogger extraordinaire.

I’m a nerdy bisexual woman in her mid-30s, a student and freelance writer by day, (hire me to write about sex for you!) and a blogger by night. Somewhere in between I test sex toys (re: masturbate), and keep up to date on the latest sex tech and science. I spend too much time watching TV, playing video and board games, and talking to/about my cats.

Sex has been an interest of mine since well before I could legally fuck. Like a true geek, my fanaticism extends to sex.  Sexual health, education, technology, and pleasure are all topics that interest me. Because of that, I started Of Sex and Love in 2008, and you’ll see my interest in the topic of human sexuality in my book reviews, media recommendations, and science of sex posts.

Since then, I have tried hundreds of toys, tied up my partners, been on the receiving end of BDSM, and learned how to squirt. I’ve also had the opportunity to help my fellow bloggers figure out their way around a blog, something I’ve been doing for almost 20 years.

This is a creative outlet designed for me to explore two of my greater interests – sex and writing – both of which I’d like to think I have an affinity for. You can expect here articles about sexuality, reviews of sex toys, sex toy giveaways, opinions and writings of my sexual experiences, which now include adventures in dating. The most disappointing toys I’ve used are in this list. To view my favorite sex toys, accessories, erotica, and lingerie, check out the 5-star products.

My opinions are especially strong when it comes to human sexuality. I am pro sex toys, porn, sex education, sex worker, feminism, and kink. I support all sexual behavior that is safe, sane, and consensual, including the right to abstain. I am against unhealthy and unsafe materials, misogyny, cheesy packaging, rape culture, and faux-luxury sex that toys do a disservice to other consumers who may not have the experience that I do.

It’s become increasingly obvious to me that many people have never had the chance to develop healthy opinions about sex and relationships (or the world in general). I’ve recently returned to school as the first step in becoming a certified sex educator!
