On male peacock energy, porn for women, and breakup phone calls

The update on my love-life you've been waiting for...

Apr 28, 2026

Happy Tuesday, love!

Here are 3 tips on being shamelessly sexy to bring you wonder this week, inspired by “The Unexpected Re-Entry,” a saucy new update I wrote about my love life:

Desire It 💋

“When I lay sprawled out in my blue sparkly dress and bright orange lace underwear peeking out underneath…like a male peacock”

Think about yourself as a male peacock. What parts of your body do you love most and like to display? If you were heading for a night out with a partner, do you have a go-to sexy outfit? What is it, and how does wearing it make you feel? 🦚

Honor It 🌞

“I wanted to fall off the cliff. Roll up into him. Let him drive me home at 2 AM again. Meet his aunt again. But that bottle told me: don’t do it.”

Identify an experience you had with someone where you had to shield your heart and pay attention to a red flag. How did you set that boundary? Or, if you are currently in the orbit of someone with red flags, how do you plan to prioritize yourself and your needs?

Send this to someone you love! 😍

“I had left him hanging off the end of a breakup phone call a few days later.”

Is there a conversation you’ve been needing to have with a person or a partner that you haven’t for some reason? Find a way to rip off that band-aid this week. You’ve got this!

See you next week!

An Update on My Love Life 💌

This week’s shamelessly sexy tips were inspired by a new piece I wrote, “The Unexpected Re-Entry.” If you’ve been missing the old Misseducated style, this is my love-life update you’ve been waiting for! I’ll be posting these updates on my blog (tashdoherty.com) from now on. One benefit of this new newsletter format is that I feel less pressure to write every week, which, so far, has led me to write more. Huzzah!

Deeper, Spicier Reading 🔥

I’ve just updated one of my most popular articles to present you with “The 4 Best Porn Categories for Women.” Obviously, my recommendations are completely biased towards the type of porn I like to watch, but I do recommend some female-friendly porn platforms so you can discover more of what you like.
