International Women's Day!!

Happy International Women's Day, everyone! We all have reason to celebrate this day--either you are a woman, or you were birthed by one. How exciting.

The first International Women's Day (here on out referred to as IWD) was held in 1911. Women have been the supporting characters to men's lives all throughout history. It's only been in the last hundred or so years that women have risen up and tried to gain full equality. Women didn't even gain the right to vote until 1920--that wasn't even one hundred years ago!! This is all still so recent. Today, celebrate the wonderful women in your life. If you are a woman, celebrate yourself!! You deserve it!! :)

If you so desire, the International Women's Day website has an option to pledge your part in speeding up gender parity! You can offer up what you will do to help the cause :)

Here are some of my favorite women to celebrate today:

Joan of Arc

She led the French Army to victory was she was 18. Damn.

Sacajewa

She was kidnapped from a young age and sold into slavery, eventually assisting Lewis and Clarke in their expeditions and then giving birth to America's youngest explorer. She died at the age of 25, and her life in just those few short years was fascinating.

Golda Meir

The college I went to had a bunch of stuff named after Golda Meir, and for good reason. This woman did so much. When her mom wanted her to leave school and get married, she bought a train ticket to Colorado to live with her sister and maintain her independence!! She was an Israeli teacher who taught in many schools as well as being the fourth Prime Minister of Israel.

Harriet Tubman

She helped hundreds of slaves find freedom through the Underground Railroad. She could have escaped and been out, living her own life outside of slavery, but she stayed and helped all those people experience the freedom she had. How selfless and amazing is that??!

Anja Ringgren Lovén

You have probably seen this picture on the internet lately. This woman is a Danish humanitarian who established an Orphanage in Nigeria. How wonderful. Visit her website here.

Malala Yousafzai

.

I could write several blog posts about how amazing this young woman is. She continued going to school despite the Taliban trying to stop her, wrote a blog under a pseudonym about the right to education, was voted to be killed by the Taliban, shot in the head by the Taliban, lived, and won the first Pakistani National Youth Peace Prize and eventually a Nobel Peace Prize. She opened the Malala Yousafzai All-Girls School near the Syrian border and has said she will continue her efforts until every child can receive an education.

These are just a few women in our world and history to look up to. There are SO many influential women out there, changing the way our world works, and it is simply inspiring. Take some time today to read up on a few of them. Enjoy your day!!

P.S. If you've seen Deadpool, have fun celebrating this holiday later tonight ;)

Sex & Quarantines

(I was going to title this "Sex in the time of Corona(virus)" as a play on the whole "Love in the Time of Cholera" but then I actually came across TWO different articles with that title. I guess I'm not as clever as I thought, hahah) These are crazy times we are living in. Seeing the world shut down around me feels like a bizarre dream, or like that Goosebumps episode where those kids find a magical typewriter and every weird thing they write comes true... So, many of us are in quarantine right now. It can be hard to fight the boredom and eventual cabin fever that comes with it. But have no fear! If you are stuck with a partner, use this as a time to try some of those things you've always wanted to try. If you're stuck with family or with yourself, maybe try some self-care and find out what makes you happy (sexual or otherwise!). Below is a list of some ideas to keep your quarantine exciting. **First things first, USE PROTECTION. Unless yo

Is there anything I can do to decrease my gag reflex for giving oral sex? Or are there techniques I can use that won't bother my gag reflex?

Yes!!! There are a few things you can do actually. I'll start with the cheapest ideas first--techniques. While giving oral, try folding your tongue up to the roof of your mouth, causing a barrier between the front of your mouth and the back of your throat. The penis will hit your tongue, feeling like it can't go in anymore, and it will create the illusion of you taking him all the way in. Same goes for your cheeks. It's not just a sexual joke when people pretend to puff out their cheeks as if to say they're blowing someone. It can be used!!! Cheeks can be stretchy, and you may be able to pull him in further into your cheeks than into your mouth. The biggest thing with blow jobs is to remember that although the focus is on your mouth on him, that doesn't mean your hands shouldn't be used. Whatever you can't take in your mouth should be in your hands. So if he's 5 inches and you can only take in 2 or 3, be twisting and yanking that bottom part of the sh

Holiday Gift Guide--X-Rated-NSFW

Special thanks to the guy I was talking to on a website who gave me the idea for this post. I hope you enjoy it! :) Thanks again!!! *****This is the same post that was posted back in December of 2012. As it is my most popular post, especially around the holidays, I updated some things and am copying it to the front of my blog. Enjoy!!***** So, it's that time again, to spend all our hard-earned money on things we don't need and will probably not use much. That's not how it should be! Looking to give the gift that keeps on giving? How about some sex toys? People tend to think that if they're in a relationship, they have no need for things you can use independently, like vibrators and such. But it's healthy to have solo time, even in a relationship, and sex toys are a great way to spice up your relationship. Especially if you've never bought anything before, you might be wondering where to start. I'm going to list some of the year's popular sex toys,
