"East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet," or so wrote the illustrious Rudyard Kipling in his 'Ballad of East and West.' With all due respect to Kipling, however, the two have indeed met, and have been dancing a complicated exchange of goods, ideas and even people for many centuries now. And this cultural exchange applies to almost all...

"Dark Shadows": The Soap Opera, the Horror Show
The original "Dark Shadows" was a unique TV phenomenon. A horror show in a soap opera format, the program was a marriage of as seemingly disparate genres as could be imagined. The reasons the bizarre show succeeded, and how it expanded the horizons of both horror and soap opera, are the subject of this essay....

BDSM
Alana hurried down the wide stone corridor of the students' wing, clutching her books to her chest. Although she was beautiful, it was not a romantic scene. Her softly curling golden hair was pulled back in a severe braid, and her gown was plain grey Collegium garb. She was simply a schoolgirl who had lost track of time and was going to be late again. She gr...

Just to be certain about it, there is no proof of there being a God, nor is there any proof that there isn't a God. No one knows one way or the other.
Further, all of those books of the Old and New Testament with names given to them, no one knows who actually wrote any of them. Yes, there probably was an Isaiah and a Jeremiah, even a Paul, and Paul may have...

Quite often in popular fiction we meet a character who is able-bodied and who can hear but are mute. It is vital to note at the outset that "mute" in this context means lack of language rather than lack of vocalization. Sign languages are just as valid as spoken ones and the Deaf Community is a very proud, accomplished, and articulate group. Indeed, many Dea...

Romance
June, 1917 Paris, France
It was on a warm late spring morning that I arrived in my office to be greeted with a summons to the ambassador's office.
When I arrived, I stopped short, for Mr. Stark had a visitor, someone I knew well, and for whom I had decidedly mixed feelings.
Gen. John James Pershing was seated in a chair across from the ambassador's desk,...

The good news is my wife is from the Philippines. The bad news is my wife is from the Philippines.
Because, in addition to my wife, I LOVE prostitutes. Just read my other stories on this site--they're all about hookers one way or another. Despite (in my opinion) that the best place for prostitution in the whole wide world is the Philippines, because of my w...

In the first essay, The Bible, Fundamentalists & Lesbian Sex, sixty-four (64) major errors were found along with eight (8) probable errors, and that in only the first eight (8) chapters of Genesis. The reason for that first essay is to combat the hatred that the Fundamentalist/Evangelical preachers are spewing from their pulpits from believing that what's in...
