Welcome to NSFW Sunday!

+ I love this photo series of outfits people put on to hook up: “another woman’s Len “Steal My Sunshine”-era sunglasses are an aphrodisiac second to none while someone else’s beaded necklace could torpedo their hopes like an anti-romance H-bomb. But if you really want to get to know someone sartorially, nothing is more illuminating than the outfit they think they look best in.” So, what do you wear to get laid (if getting laid is something you’re interested in)? Lately my answer to this question is black bodysuit with more straps than body, no bra obviously, black high waisted pants, black boots. (Lately this is also what I wear to the post office, to casual work meetings, to dinner, and one night recently to bed.)

+ Porn helps to advance technology: “Sometimes, innovation travels in the other direction. In fact, the desire for adult products has had a significant influence on technological advances as well. Those creating adult products and technology can definitely influence the mainstream, especially with all the demand driving them to innovate and succeed.”

+ On #Daddygate: “Kink cannot be culturally appropriated because it cannot be stolen; it belongs to no one, and as such, to potentially everyone.”

+ #freepornday is September 8, happy birthday to me, happy birthday to us all.

+ Beware the celebrity anti-porn op ed.

+ It’s normal you’re normal: hair on your nipples is totally fine.

+ Also, nipples get hard during arousal because of the neurotransmitter noradrenaline, according to a new study: “two types of neurons are involved in the process that leads to goosebumps and erect nipples. When activated by the neurotransmitter noradrenaline, these neurons cause erector muscles connected to your skin to contract. That contraction is what causes your hair to stand on end or your nipples to get erect.”

+ A new vibrator looks just like the eggplant emoji.

+ At Oh Joy Sex Toy, Erika Moen profiles Shannon Gee, co-founder of Portland’s ecdysiast, a pole dance studio.

+ If you wanted, you could put a sheet mask on your crotch.

+ What if nude selfies are a totally normal thing for teens to want to send each other. What then.

+ Using contraceptives have resulted in fewer teen pregnancies, according to a new study. In an age of abstinence-only sex education programs this sort of thing is a pretty big deal. Maybe it will lead to change!

+ Can sex cure a hangover? Shoe-in Pulitzer nominee Bethy Squires investigates:

“When we orgasm, we are flooded with hormones. One of which is oxytocin, the so-called “bonding chemical.” Oxytocin helps us fell empathy, bond with our partners, and heal our wounds. It’s also anti-inflammatory. A 2010 study found that couples who succeeded at a bonding exercise had elevated oxytocin levels, and those couples also healed better from wounds. The study suggests that the oxytocin the couples got from working together blocked cytokine production.

So I had my hypothesis: Having sex would release enough oxytocin to block cytokine production, curing my hangover. The only thing left to do was to test my theory.”

+ Sex and dating were always the thinking gal’s subject, thanks New York Times:

“It would be strange to me if young, intellectual women writers weren’t interested in intimacy, in the problems posed by sexual relations […] [Future Sex author Emily Witt] is really writing for us, for a lot of my friends who, it’s not just that their lives haven’t taken a conventional path — their lives may have taken a conventional path — but they want to choose their sexual lives, they don’t want to have them assigned, they don’t want to be told, ‘Well, at the end of the day, when we’re all grown up, we know what we’re supposed to do.’”
