Anne Onimus is getting sick and tired of people supposing that hers is a fabricated name, or even, in the case of some French speakers, a nom de plume. "There have been Onimuses in this country," she tells us, "since the last decade of the eighteenth century." A yoga, volleyball, and jogging enthusiast, as well as a committed vegan, Anne has been writing about kinky (or, as she much prefers it, alternative) sex since her graduation from Northwestern University in 1993.
