April 10, 2012 By Leave a Comment
Bio: once upon a time, I was an actor who landed a day job in a sex store. That job somehow morphed into an entirely new career as a sex-columnist, a sex blogger (http://nadinethornhill.wordpress.com), a program director with Planned Parenthood and a playwright whose themes centre around dildos.
