My Spicy Blog

Dear Readers,

I’m Spicy Auntie, your ever-curious, ever-smiling hostess on this sizzling little corner of the internet.

I'm a proud Asian woman in my early 50s, born with strong opinions, a sharp tongue (used kindly!), and a big heart. Financially self-sufficient, emotionally independent, and intellectually insatiable. I read the news before my first sip of morning tea and fall asleep scrolling through research papers and scandalous threads alike.

Why am I here? Because Asia is my playground and my passion. I know her curves and corners—her languages, her customs, her unspoken rules. I’ve danced at weddings, cried at funerals, been blessed by monks, and been scolded by aunties even spicier than me. I know what goes unsaid in our homes and what’s too often silenced in our media.

This blog is my daily offering, a space where I can unpack it all: gender, sex, power, pleasure, pain, injustice, and hope. I talk about sexuality without shame, feminism without apology, and traditions without blindfolds. I’ll call out hypocrisy, laugh at mansplainers, and politely hand misogyny its walking papers. And yes, I’ll do it all with good grammar, a hint of irony, and the occasional wink.

I love men (especially when they’re kind, curious, and younger than me, what can I say?), but I’m also bisexual and happily open-minded. I don’t believe in binaries, and I certainly don’t believe in borders when it comes to love or justice. Mixed races, mixed couples, mixed ideas: that’s the kind of spicy stew I live for.

My audience? You! Whether you're an Asian woman seeking sisterhood, a curious Westerner trying to understand our part of the world, or a brave man learning to listen better, welcome. Just take off your shoes or wipe your feet before stepping in. No trolls, no bigots, no "not all men" tantrums allowed here.

Expect daily doses of truth, served hot. Topics range from today’s headlines to sex-related crimes, from centuries-old taboos, to village gossip or feminist theory. I won't hold back, but I’ll always stay respectful, unless serious topics are being treated by the press or politicians in a ridiculous way. Then I might just season you with a little sarcasm.

So sit down. Sip something. And stay spicy. signature

Young, Pregnant and Facing Family Shame

February 12, 2026

Twenty-one thousand girls. When I read that number in the parliamentary reply, I did not see a statistic. I saw classrooms with one empty chair. I saw WhatsApp messages deleted in panic. I saw a 16-year-old staring at two pink lines in a bathroom, whispering ya Allah under her breath and wondering who she can tell without bringing malu (shame) upon her keluarga (family). Malaysia is not unique. Teenage desire does not stop at national borders, nor does curiosity obey hukum syarak (Islamic law). What is unique is how fiercely...

Meet The ‘Mucikari’: Indonesia’s Pimps

February 12, 2026

Ah, the mucikari. The man everyone loves to hate. Whenever Indonesian politicians want to look morally decisive, they parade a handcuffed mucikari in front of the cameras. Flashbulbs pop. Headlines scream about “online prostitution syndicates.” The broker becomes the villain of the week — proof that vice has been confronted and virtue restored. Meanwhile, the clients quietly delete their chat histories and go back to work the next morning. Let’s be clear: exploitation exists. Coercion exists. Trafficking exists. And when a mucikari crosses that line — when debt becomes bondage,...

A Small But Historic Ruling For LGBTQ Couples

February 12, 2026

When I first read the Philippine Supreme Court decision recognizing co-ownership rights for live-in same-sex couples, I didn’t scream. I didn’t cry. I didn’t even pop prosecco. I exhaled. Because sometimes progress doesn’t arrive wrapped in rainbow flags. Sometimes it comes dressed as paperwork. Let’s be clear: this is not marriage equality. It’s not a glittering Pride parade down Ayala Avenue. It’s not the long-delayed SOGIE Equality Bill finally passing Congress. What it is, however, is something deeply practical — and deeply powerful. It says that when two adults, regardless...

Condom Day: When Thailand Normalized Rubber

February 12, 2026

I have always had a soft spot for Thailand’s unapologetic relationship with condoms. Yes, I said it. In a region where adults still whisper the word “sex” as if it might explode in their mouths, Thailand once inflated condoms into party balloons and handed them out at temple fairs. That kind of audacity deserves respect. I first encountered International Condom Day in Bangkok years ago, on a sticky February evening when volunteers were distributing free packets near Siam Square. Teenagers giggled, aunties pretended not to look, and a group of...

A Democracy That Still Fails Women

February 12, 2026

So let me get this straight, darlings. Japan finally elects its first woman prime minister, and the reward for that historic breakthrough is… fewer women in parliament? If irony were a political system, we would call it proportional representation. I have spent enough time in Nagatachō corridors and East Asian power circles to know that symbolism and substance are very different creatures. A woman at the top does not automatically open the floodgates for other women. Sometimes she simply proves that one exceptional woman can survive in a system still...
