The universe has good news for the lost, lonely and heartsick.
The sugars are here speaking straight into your ears.
I'm Steve Almond.
I'm Cheryl strayed.
This is dear sugars.
Oh, dear.
So won't you please share some little sweetness with me?
I check my bell vibes every day oh, in the sugar you see in my way hi, Steve.
Hi, Cheryl.
Okay, so I'm gonna tell a little story.
We gotta go back to the summer of 1997.
Oh, yeah.
I was living for the summer in Taos, New Mexico, and I was dating Mister sugar Brian, the person to whom I am now married.
And we were great lovers and great friends.
Like we are still.
Yes, you are.
But, you know, and by the summer of 97, we've been together a couple years, so.
And I was, you know, wanting to keep things interesting and also deepen our intimacy.
So we're on a walk, and I get this idea that we should each share with each other a sexual fantasy.
Because until then, to me, and I think I still believe this, I thought sexual fantasy was this very private realm.
