Welcome to NSFW Sunday!

+ It’s fun and useful to take all your activity partners out for tacos together:
“It might seem like meeting “the other lover” is a recipe for jealousy. Even some non-monogamous relationships are explicitly ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’—in other words, you’re free to see other people, but I don’t want to know about it. These relationships are usually built around the idea that learning about your metamours, or seeing your partner with one, would be unbearably painful. This relationship style can involve a bit of social juggling to make sure you never accidentally cross paths, and seems to work best when most of the relationships remain fairly casual.
On the other hand, in my experience and for many polyamorous folk I know, meeting other lovers can alleviate jealousy and reduce relationship drama. Until you meet, ‘the other’ is a scary unknown; if we let our imaginations run away, we can inflate them into something perfect and unattainable, and most importantly, better than me. But when you do meet, you find out they’re just another human.”

+ Quiet OkCupid inbox? It might be because women (across sexual orientations) are really bad at sending the first message. (If you do send the first message, you have a 25% chance it’ll turn into a conversation if you’re gay and a 31% chance if you’re bi.)
+ Without My Consent, a legal advocaacy group, has a new guide on what to do if someone uses you for revenge porn.

+ At Oh Joy Sex Toy, Tait Howard explains orgasms in your brain.
+ “Lesbian” is the most common porn search term across the states, according to a Pornhub map, and it turns out it’s because apparently for straight dudes “the only thing better than one nubile, personality-free woman is two of them.”

+ People who care about their partners are better at communicating with them, according to a recent study:
“Overall, support providers who rated themselves as more concerned about their partner’s problem were perceived as more responsive by their partners. But when support providers rated themselves as less concerned, their partners reported feeling that he or she didn’t fully understand or care about them. In other words, if participants truly empathized with their partners’ distress, they responded in a more concerned and thoughtful way — and it showed.”

+ Sometimes you try a bunch of different forms of weed and then have a bunch of different types of sex, you know, for science:
“It wasn’t consistent, but for whole moments I was able to ride the peculiar rhythms of skin meeting skin, to hear my particles jostle with heat, with amplification. During one particular enmeshed-lesbian moment, she was riding me while I wore a strap-on, and at times it felt like we were an extension of each other and I couldn’t tell who was penetrating whom or if it even mattered. I felt adrift on a stormy sea of sweat and light and movement.
‘Did you like it?’ I asked.
‘I think I just like sex,’ she said.”

+ From the Autostraddle Lesbian Sex Archives: Here are three tarot spreads for checking in on your relationships with one person, many people, or yourself. Also, whether or not to tell someone you haven’t had sex in a while.
That “this is your brain on orgasm” is p interesting. Thanks!
The first and sixth photos are amazing! <3
I live for this on Sundays! Really appreciate how consistent the quality is too.
