Black Lives Matter


George Floyd (Unknown, 1974-May 25, 2020)
Ahmaud Arbery (May 8, 1994-February 23, 2020)
Breonna Taylor (June 5, 1993 – March 13, 2020)


As someone with a blog platform, I feel it is my responsibility to speak out and use this in an effective way.
 This post is not about sex or relationships. It is about how you can do your part to combat the systemic racism that is rampant in our country, how you can make your voice heard. Black people are institutionalized and killed at an absurd rate, especially compared to their percentage in the population. George Floyd should not have died, and neither should the thousands of those before him. 
It is no longer possible to remain silent or "neutral." There are protests and marches in nearly every city in America--there are even protests popping up in different countries, in solidarity with us. If you are not able to protest, there are so many other ways you can help. I will list organizations that you can donate to and petitions you can sign. There is no excuse for not helping--black voices are everywhere telling you exactly what you should be doing. Listen to them.
BLACK LIVES MATTER.

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...

Sexual Bucket List

What is a bucket list? It's a list of all the things a person wants to do before they die. Go to Paris, see the Great Wall of China, go skydiving, get wasted in Vegas, swim with sharks, etc. Those are all great things to aspire to, but let's consider other facets of human life--Sex. Just like everything else, there are countless things to experience sexually. But a lot of times, like the rest of life, we get comfortable in a routine. Sex on Tuesday nights after 9 pm when the kids are in bed, he takes off your bra and you give him a blowjob for about 2 minutes before engaging in 5 minutes of woman-on-top sex can get pretty comfortable. But why stay comfortable when you can have so much more fun? In a culture that revolves around sex, we are still brought up to be so close-minded about so many things. Experimenting sexually doesn't make you a freak or a slut. Being honest, open and communicative with a partner will make this the easiest. And just because you are in a stable, ...

Holiday Gift Giving 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!!! 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, with links on where to get them. These are great gifts for yourself, a partner, or a friend (depending on how close you are). And if you are in a relationship, it's probably a gift for the both of you! Why not...
