Welcome Lovers!

Welcome to Sex in the Sticks (and Stuff)! My name is Melody Karmichael, the blog’s matriarch. This is a space where I explore the messy, fascinating, and often hilarious world of dating in a rural area—and everything that comes with it. Here, I get curious about relationships, sex, sexuality, sexual behavior, and all the things we don’t always feel comfortable talking about out loud.
