I’m sure you’ve all been keeping tabs on the nonsense being spewed out in politics at the moment. Right? Oh, just me? You mean to say I care about things that I shouldn’t? That would be a first.

 

What I mean is that from both sides, there’s a bunch of nonsense being spewed about how the opposition isn’t worth their weight in cost-adjusted cheese. You’ve got National opposing co-governance and utilising one of our NATIONAL languages on street signs – stating it’s a waste of money, but they were due for a reset anyway? Then Labour is out here denying that there’s a climate crisis and not mentioning that we’re literally all about to die. Not to get overly cynical, because I’m the resident optimist, but is anyone else just feeling a little tired? Perhaps tired isn’t a good word, but I’m kind of sick of being the bigger person when blatant racism is being thrown in my face or classism reigns supreme.

 

It will cost you nothing to be a good person, but it will cost you everything to be c*nt. The decision is yours, and you can make it without my crap opinion there to motivate you. Make those choices for yourself and never let me, some magazine kid, change your mindset.

 

So, wanna talk about fucking? I’m sorry, would you like to discuss sex? There are numerous pieces throughout this magazine, with sex stories and the best places to be intimate – we’ve got it all. Sex shouldn’t, and isn’t at Nexus, a taboo topic. It’s chill. I don’t want to hear all about your journey into the realm of sex, but you shouldn’t be afraid to ask for guidance and advice when it’s needed.

 

We didn’t want it to be a serious talk about sex, but a funny laugh. There are a couple of personal tales and a whole lot of interesting discussions. But, I will say now, everything this week is anonymous, and all the pieces were up to the author as to whether they actually wanted to share what they’d written. Ya feel?

 

Sex. It’s something most do, and it’s something that heaps enjoy. Take a look at the mag and let me know what you think. Or don’t. I’m easy. Not easy. But…

 

You know what I mean.
