Hi, I’m Ena Dahl
Welcome to my world on Medium, and beyond
Hi there! First, I want to thank you so much for being here—I appreciate you immensely.
About me
I’ve been a storyteller of sorts my whole life. Starting as a graphic designer, I moved into creative/art direction, set dressing, event styling, and more. Writing was something I occasionally did, mostly by default, as I handled the content of clients, propositioned for gigs, and ran a design blog.
It was first in October 2019 that I decided to start writing full time. Before that, a growing voice inside had been pleading with me to write since I left a toxic relationship with a narcissist two years prior; I felt like I was bubbling over with things to say. And, so I started, and here I am, just over a year later.
I’m still learning the ropes, honing my skills, and figuring out how to produce enough content to make ends meet, without compromising my vision or the quality of my writing.
It’s not the easy path, yet, never before have I been more sure that walking down the right one. So, thank you again for following me down this rabbit hole!
Recent and ongoing work…
I just reconnected with Lioness and have started writing erotica for their subscription platform (S)explore. The first story, A Lighted Window at Dusk, will be published there on Friday. I’ve been craving to write more poetically and fiction for a while, so this came right at the perfect time!
Today I re-launched my Patreon page where I’ll be posting regular illustrated erotic stories and poetry e-books with sensual, sexy photos, as well as photo sets, recordings, videos, and more. The story above was just uploaded!
I’m writing and editing for SPNKD’s new publication on Medium. A writer and editor there, I strive towards our common goal of creating an enticing educational platform with in-depth essays and stories on BDSM related topics, from experts in kink and pleasure.
I write regular sex guides, disguised as sensually erotic stories for Lustery POV. This connection has also put me closer in touch with Berlin’s indie-porn scene and I foresee some curious future (writing) collaborations come out of this. Are y’all ready for alt-porn written by yours truly? I hope so because that’s likely where we’re headed!
This fall I wrote an advertising script for Kora Mikino to celebrate the natural functions of the female body with indie porn director Poppy Sanchez. Together we subverted innuendos referring to a WAP (wet ass pussy) and made them sexy as hell to celebrate your wetness—featuring a handful of gorgeous local influences. See the videos here. She and I are also cooking up some salacious alt-porn scripts and treatments… more on that in some weeks.
As always, I’m writing here on Medium, all through the last month and a bit have been exceptionally unproductive here due to lockdown and lack of child care for my daughter, combined with holidays and all of the above. I focus on topics surrounding sexuality and sex-positive feminism, pleasure, mental health, healing, and spirituality. Those of you following my work related to narcissistic abuse can find all of my writing on the topic in my Narcissism Files. Almost all the rest can be found in Sexography.
Beyond writing…
I finished my Reiki studies and received my attunements. These days I’m training with a limited number of friends and acquaintances to build my intuitive sexual energy healing practice. More to come, but if you live in Berlin and would like to receive a discounted trial session, you may email me (address in bio). Remote sessions will be available sometime this year.
I’m creating visual stories with artists and photographers. I love using myself and my body, in collaboration with other creatives, to tell stories that words alone can’t. Besides an exciting ongoing collaboration with photographer Negrorojoluz, I have a few other upcoming shoots and a video shoot coming up.
I’m (still) falling deeply in love with Shibari (Japanese Rope Bondage) and practice as a rope bottom at least once a week. I’m also starting to learn some myself to integrate into my healing practice.
Privately…
My five-year-old daughter and I are doing our thing, as usual. Right now, apart from fighting lava monsters on the playground, we’re longing for spring and Corona to calm down so we can eventually visit our family in Norway.
Being single in the midst of pandemic-winter kinda sucks sometimes, and yes, I miss waking up next to a warm body… but, I remember why I made the decision to be alone and I’m still learning—that I’m good and whole in and by myself, as well as how to make decisions alone, without second-guessing myself or leaning on another. It’s hard, but important work.
Before the end of 2020, I finally done-did-decluttered four years of built-up bureaucratic paper chaos with the guidance of an amazing coach. A mountain of anxiety has been lifted from my shoulders! A story is coming up soon. And since I just had my birthday, someone special gifted me my first real bottle of Champagne, so it is time to toast!
Work with me?
You can hire me as your commercial scriptwriter, copywriter, content creator, editor, or article writer, so long as the underlying views are aligned with my overall visions and missions.
