About me:
I'm a full time writer/editor specialising in sex, love and relationship articles and books. I founded text-based sex website for women Cliterati in 2001 after hearing the internet was full of porn, then searching for it and realising there was bugger all out there for women to get off on (the site's strictly for adults only, being full of smutty stories - all moderated to ensure they're over-age, consensual and not too atrociously written, along with sex advice, features and news). I decided against using pictures on the site because it's way harder to get erotic visual material that appeals to women - and it's a lot harder to guarantee informed consent if you're using models than if you're just using words. The site was deliberately designed to look 'innocent' so that no-one could tell what was been viewed at a casual glance.
A few years later, I was approached to be the founding editor of Scarlet magazine which was a great laugh, if ridiculously hard work. After a year of editing the mag, I handed over to my deputy because I missed the freelance life (namely, spending half the day in my bathrobe writing random things and getting paid for it, then going off to press parties and getting plied with cheap champagne) She did, however, suggest that I started a regular feature for the magazine in which I went off and tried something new and sexy each month. As a result, in the last year I've ended up going to an orgy, trying sploshing, having my vagina cast in plaster of Paris (I later had an internal vaginal cast made for another magazine feature) going to a naked disco, directing a porn film, spending a night at a femme-domme club and numerous other things, many of which required me to shave my muff.
Since going freelance again, I've written for publications including New Woman, FHM, Men's Health, Glamour, The Guardian, Mixmag (though I'm clueless about dance music), Elle, Penthouse and Forum. I'm also the sex agony aunt for new IPC magazine, Look.
I've written ten books, including Brief Encounters: the woman's guide to casual sex, You must be my best friend because I hate you: Friendship and how to survive it, Things a woman should know about seduction and, most recently, I'd rather be single than settle: satisfied solitude and how to achieve it. I'm currently working on two books for publication later this year - one sex manual, and one all about exes (how to be a good ex, get over an ex, deal with a psychotic ex, cope with a partner who sees their ex all the time and everything else that exes do that can have an impact on your relationships)
I wrote the last three Lovers' Guide videos and spent a fair bit of last year creating a monthly downloadable radio show, Sex Talk With Emily Dubberley that included erotic stories, sex advice, sex toy reviews (I've tested over 300 over the last few years) and interviews (most recently Jodie Marsh). I'm currently working on a series of erotic anthologies for them. I also review underwear for Knickersblog.
To escape my utter work obsession, I moved to the seaside at the start of 2006 and now have a much more entertaining time of things: going for walks on the beach (occasionally borrowing a dog from a mate so I can pretend to be responsible enough to own a pet), hanging out at burlesque nights, cooking, proving my lack of general knowledge in the pub quiz at my local and mixing cocktails for mates far too late at night when all the pubs have closed and the prospect of a hangover seems an impossibility (something I never learn from...)
But I have to confess that I really do love my job.
