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

Auntie Spices It Out

Cartoon Censorship Strikes Again

November 20, 2025

Auntie needs to have a stern word, again, with the self-appointed moral police who seem to think they’re the new headmasters of Asia’s playgrounds. You’d think, with everything going on in the world—economic troubles, political scandals, floods, real social issues—they’d have better things to do than policing cartoons. But no. A mermaid gives a peck on the cheek and suddenly the guardians of “public morality” come marching in like we’re on the brink of societal collapse. Please. Spare me the drama. Let’s get something straight, sweethearts: children are not fragile...

Equal Boots on the Ground

Let Auntie adjust her dupatta and sip her ginger tea before diving into this one — because yes, I am a proud, card-carrying pacifist. I would rather see armies turned into libraries, barracks transformed into community gardens, and all those defence budgets redirected to health, education, and childcare. But reality has a funny way of marching on, boots thumping, uniforms pressed, and flags flying. And if the world insists on keeping its militaries, then by all that is sacred and sensible, women must have every right to step into those...

Porn, Power, and the Badge

November 20, 2025

Oh, New Zealand. Sweet, quiet, well-behaved New Zealand — land of hobbits, good manners, and public agencies that supposedly sparkle with integrity. And yet here we are. Your almost-Commissioner of Police, Jevon “I-Swear-I’m-Innocent” McSkimming, has been caught with more inappropriate material than a bored teenager with unlimited Wi-Fi. Except this was not a bored teenager. This was the man sitting one step below the most powerful policing role in the country. Using work devices. During office hours. Darling, even Southeast Asian politicians caught in karaoke bars are shaking their heads....

The Sex–Abstinence Paradox

November 20, 2025

Darlings, gather around. Auntie needs to sip her peppermint tea before she screams. Because once again, the guardians of 1950s morality—the same ones who still believe Elvis’ hips were the beginning of humanity’s downfall—are back to save us from that terrifying, scandalous concept called reality. Yes, the abstinence crusaders, pearl-clutchers, and self-appointed guardians of public virtue are marching proudly into the 2025 debate on sex education like they’re storming Normandy, armed with nothing but outdated pamphlets and fear of their own bodies. Honestly, I almost admire the confidence. Imagine waking...

‘I’m Quitting Motherhood’

November 19, 2025

Sisters, allow Auntie to tell you something she has learned after decades of wandering through Asia’s kitchens, cramped apartments, community halls, PTA meetings, feminist circles, and yes — the occasional smoky karaoke bar where exhausted mothers sip a secret highball behind the neon. When have women in this region ever been truly free to choose their roles? When have mothers been allowed to breathe, to shape motherhood the way they want, rather than the way society scripts it? In Japan especially — and Auntie speaks as someone who has listened...
