    Case Of The Ex – An Article For Valour Magazine

    We don’t all have to have bad relationships with our ex’s… Here’s my article for Valour Magazine. You can read it http://valourmagazine.co.uk/issue-3/.   Love Cris x P.S My article is on page 38.

  • 2016, Year of Bae…

    2016, Year of Bae…

    The word crept up on us. Whether we wanted to or not, we found ourselves using it. I don’t even like the word. It’s a silly term most likely coined by someone who probably wasn’t even in a relationship (or an American) but it has since become the go to word of endearment, displacing the…

  • There Aren’t Enough Christian Men…

    There Aren’t Enough Christian Men…

    I’m sorry to burst your bubble so early into the article. I’m sorry for not setting the scene before ruining the ending but it has to be said, there aren’t enough Christian men. Granted I haven’t come to this conclusion by way of any scientific experiment. No sample has been taken. No survey has been…

  • For Christians Who Date…

    For Christians Who Date…

    This is a product of numerous conversations with people from vast theological backgrounds and my personal research. This is not your final authority because that is the function of the word of God. This should hopefully evoke some feeling. Finally, this may not sit well with you but here goes.. 1.There is no one. The…

  • Christianity & The Great Sexpectations

    Christianity & The Great Sexpectations

    This post is not for kids. Please proceed with caution. I am not an authority on sex. I thought that would be a great disclaimer given the subject matter as I wouldn’t want the article to mislead anyone into thinking that I was. I’m simply a woman who has dared to think about married life…

  • Christian Thirst.

    Christian Thirst.

    “but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” John 4:14 (Jesus) I had never heard of the word thirst until I became well acquainted with social networking sites. I had always been at…

  • Bae-Watch

    Bae-Watch

    I would hope that many of us are familiar with the show Bay- Watch (if not cue Google) and so will appreciate the word play in the title. However, this article has no semblance to the TV series that revolved around lifeguards in red hot swimming costumes, that captured millions. This isn’t even an article…

  • It’s All About The Dough…..

    It’s All About The Dough…..

    Hi lovers. You will have to excuse my hiatus from ThePromiscuousPen but as some of you may know, when life gets in the way, you just have to keep making lemonade, even when you want to make cranberry juice. However, as of today I am back like a bra strap with another ludicrously profound piece…

  • Brothers (in Christ) With No Game? The Sequel

    Brothers (in Christ) With No Game? The Sequel

    When I first wrote the controversial article, “Brothers (in Christ) With No Game”, I thought it was a finished product. I thought it would never need revisiting because it was so damn well written and I had explored every possible conclusion with regards to the dynamics between male and female relations within the church. I…

  • Stop Hating Valentine.

    Stop Hating Valentine.

    Some of us are giddy at the thought of Valentine’s Day, some of us scowl over the notion. The former are lovers but are the latter haters? At some point in our lives we have dreaded the arrival of February because it reminded us of our single status. We would enter into the second month…

  • If You Really Love Somebody You Can Wait?NO! You Better Speak Now or Forever Hold Your Peace.

    If You Really Love Somebody You Can Wait?NO! You Better Speak Now or Forever Hold Your Peace.

    Despite the frankness in the title (no you better speak now or forever hold your peace) this post is coming from a loving place, as all my articles generally do. Nothing would give me more joy than to hear that you have all found love (preferably not in a hopeless place) and are happy and…

  • “I Ain’t Saying She A Gold Digger…”

    “I Ain’t Saying She A Gold Digger…”

    If you are a regular visitor to The Promiscious Pen you will know that I draw inspiration from an array of things most especially songs by my favourite artists , such as  Kanye West (whom I used to be in love with, no really I was head over heels until Kanye became Kimye) and Drake (my…

  • Why We Hate Love…

    Why We Hate Love…

      I wish to preface this article. This one’s for the grown – ups, for the over 18’s amongst us. No children allowed. We hate love.  You’re probably wondering why I have made such a bold statement and yes I am aware of how sombre that statement sounded( blame it on my emo past, yes…

  • Three Cheers For Male Privilege…

    Three Cheers For Male Privilege…

      I read the most hilarious post whilst I was perusing the internet for some inspiration and for the curious cats amongst us here is the link http://mensresistance.wordpress.com/female-privilege-checklist/. The article consisted of an exhaustive list of things women apparently enjoy as a result of being well women and whilst I was laughing and choking (at…

  • Because Not All Men Cheat…

    Because Not All Men Cheat…

    I have a problem with the assertion that all men cheat and my reasons will become apparent shortly. I do feel like I’ve been writing a lot for the boys lately (see “What Solange taught me about Domestic Violence”) but I just can’t shake off the need to speak on the labels that have been…

  • The Feminisation of Masculinity

    The Feminisation of Masculinity

      Hello there. I’m so very glad you have all visited for another dose of The Promiscious Pen and although it’s been a while ( and yes a week is a while) I’m back in full force to bring you the discussions that have plagued my mind. Since the ascension of Drake (who is my probably one of…

  • He’s Not Just That Into You…

    He’s Not Just That Into You…

      I’ve always said that the movie He’s not that into you would make a fine addition to the curriculum of young women (please say you all have watched it, it’s quite funny and arguably life changing lol).  In fact it should be made into some type of module that you have to sit an exam…

  • Will The Real Men Please Stand Up?

    Will The Real Men Please Stand Up?

    I was recently asked to write something for the men because apparently there are way too many articles for women out there (and to be honest I agree, one only has to look at the shelves in your local corner shop to  see how female magazines dominate the market ) . As I am all…

  • P.M.S Perfect. Man(woman). Syndrome.

    P.M.S Perfect. Man(woman). Syndrome.

    It’s only right that I begin by saying Happy One Month birthday to my blog, my baby, my pride and joy.  The journey thus far (I know it has only been a month but allow me this heart felt moment)  has been worthwhile and I look forward to sharing more witty, conscious, insightful and borderline…

  • The Power of (something more than) a Crush

    The Power of  (something more than)  a Crush

    ***********DISCLAIMER********** I am not a hopeless romantic. I don’t usually like to dabble in emotional sentiments, I leave that for all the Drake types amongst us ( for your information Drake is my favourite artist, his songs are music to my eyes and so that statement should not be read as a attack on Drake’s…
