+ Every time we fuck, we win:

“There is tremendous power in queer sex. It’s an act of pleasure, intensity, raw emotion, and joy. But our sex is also profoundly political. We live in a world that has criminalized our sex and pathologized our sexuality. This country has a long history of laws against queer sex, as well as, against the bodies of people of color, trans folk, and women. We are often most vulnerable when it comes to out physical bodies and our sex. The people who pass these laws want us to be afraid and ashamed of queer sex. That is where their power lies. But our power lies in the simple yet radical act of queer bodies coming together to pursue pleasure and intimacy. Our sex is how we defy homophobia, sexism, racism, and transphobia. It’s how we can fuck the status quo and upend the world we now find ourselves in.”

Jayogen and Mia Li in Crash Pad Series episode 215

+ Every time is just like the first time.

+ Sex toys are less likely to contain harmful chemicals than children’s toys, according to a Swedish study that found of tested toys, 2% of sex toys contained harmful or banned chemicals, compared to 15% of children’s toys.

+ If you’re getting your first bikini wax because you own your own body and can do what you want to it and I will delete comments that say otherwise do not fuck with me, make sure to wait for enough hair to grow in first, know that it feels more like a teeth cleaning than anything during, and skip anything sweat-inducing after.

+ Adult VR is getting more immersive and popular than ever.

+ Porn traffic dropped significantly during the Women’s March, reports PornHub.

+ At Oh Joy Sex Toy, Erika Moen reviewed the Motorbunny, a motorized fuck machine, calling it “profoundly unpleasant no matter what we tried in which hole.”

+ In the United Kingdom, you can’t file for divorce for adultery if your spouse has a same-sex affair, even if you’re in a same-sex marriage. (Bi erasure is also a given.)

Butch Stud and subMissAnn in CrashPadSeries episode 228

+ College students don’t understand how people with vulvas actually reach orgasm, but virtual vulvas might make understanding orgasm more accessible:

“This concept has the potential to do two big things. First, by exposing women to images of real vulvas, it might help them become more comfortable and confident in their own genital appearance. Consider, for instance, a new study published in the Journal of Psychosomatic Obstetrics & Gynecology: Scientists showed female college students one of two different photo slideshows. Half of the participants viewed images of other women’s vulvas, while the other half viewed neutral images, such as photos of art, architecture, and nature. As it turns out, the women who saw vulvas reported feeling the most positive about their own genitals afterwards. This wasn’t a fleeting effect, either—when the researchers followed up with these women two weeks after they saw the slideshow, those who viewed vulvas continued to report more comfort with their bodies than those who saw neutral images.”
