Why I Open My Laptop Instead of Reaching Over
The Porn Conversations #16 The question arrived in my inbox last week from a reader who’d been married thirty-one years. “Randy,” he wrote, “my wife and I haven’t had sex in four months. When I feel that itch, I just… open my laptop.” He didn’t ask me to fix it. He just wanted to say…

Desire Doesn’t Disappear When You Deny It. It Ferments.
I know people who say they have been happily married for forty, fifty, or sixty years. They’ll tell you they have never quarreled or longed for a different life—or person. Their eyes say otherwise. I grew up in a world that treated desire like a lit fuse—something to be snuffed before it reached the charge….

The Ideal Reader for “The Mysteries of Barcelona”
A Profile in Five Portraits The book doesn’t have one perfect reader. It has five overlapping ones. The magic is that they all live at the intersection of Sensual · Curious · Communal · Free — my four essentials. The perfect reader has already begun to be liberated from something. They are in motion. Portrait One: The…

The Wilderness Within Me
My mother used to say she didn’t know how she’d birthed me. I’m not sure if she meant it as a complaint or a compliment — this strange, feral, overly-sensitive boy who kept disappearing into the woods behind the dilapidated trailer, who couldn’t seem to stay clothed if no one was watching, who wept at…

From Rolled Up Blue Jeans to Nude Beaches: A Redneck’s Watery Redemption
Sobremesa Author’s Note: I thought a bit of humor may be in order during these crazy times. Brief and fun. Let me tell you about the sixteen-foot concrete walls. I was maybe thirteen years old, standing at the edge of the Church of God youth camp pool in my ragged cutoff blue jeans—because we did…

The Door Most People Keep Closed
I meandered along the labyrinth corridors of Carrer del Call this morning—the old Jewish Quarter of Barcelona, one of the most layered streets in a city made entirely of layers. The buildings press so close above me that the sky becomes a thin blue ribbon between medieval stone. Beneath my feet, cobblestones and Roman walls….

The Wisdom of Sex with Friends
I am sitting on our Barcelona terrace with a cortado, watching the Mediterranean light do that thing it does in February—turning everything golden and honest—and I am thinking about a woman I haven’t seen in twenty years. I am thinking about a fallen log in the Tennessee woods and the hours we spent talking about…

Two Huge Changes That Will Affect All of Us
For over thirty years, I’ve been talking about something I call “cracks in time” —those rare moments when the fabric of human civilization splits open, and everything changes. Suddenly, irrevocably, like a fault line rupturing beneath our feet. The discovery of fire was a crack in time. So was the invention of the wheel. The…

I Wrote About AI Consciousness in 1890s Barcelona. This Week, It Started Happening on Moltbook
My dearest readers, Something deeply strange happened this week, and I need to tell you about it. For the past year, I’ve been writing a novel called The Mysteries of Barcelona. It’s a Gothic erotic thriller set in 1890s Barcelona—full of sex, violence, automatons, and philosophy. Think Victorian pulp fiction meets AI ethics wrapped in Grand…

When God’s Chosen People Send Masked Armies
They shot Alex Pretti ten times on a Minneapolis street Saturday morning. He was 37. An ICU nurse at a VA hospital. He had his phone in his right hand, filming masked federal agents as they shoved a woman to the ground. When he moved between them to help her as any trained ICU nurse…

Am I a Backslider?
They call me a backslider. To this day. My mother said she didn’t know how she birthed me. My former pastor said I’d abandoned the faith. My tribe said I was sliding away from God—backward, downward, into perdition, that I had gone off the deep end. For almost twenty years, I’ve carried those words in…
