#It’s what he deserves

UPDATE 

VERY

fucking

did not

Can’t get your partner off on the first try? Cool. You can still be thoughtful and make them feel good.

Can get your partner off within 30 seconds? Awesome, good for you both, don’t let it get to your head.

Can make someone cum in less than 5, but for others, it’s a process that takes an hour? That’s alright, everyone’s different. 

Does it take you 30 minutes to cum? That’s okay, you’re not broken, you’re not a failure.

Does it take you 10 seconds to cum? That’s great, you’re not a slut, you’re not overly sensitive or dirty. 

Can’t cum without toys/vibrators? That’s awesome, that’s a valid part of sexual play!

Can only cum with loving, vanilla sex? That’s perfectly normal, and you will find lots of great partners to experience that with!

Can’t orgasm at all? THAT’S ALSO COOL. It’s not a bad thing, you can still enjoy sex TONNES just like others.

My current girlfriend can’t cum just from penetration so I make sure she gets her first with toys then we have sex.

Stay safe and have a Happy New Year!

fe·tish

an object or bodily part whose real or fantasied presence is psychologically necessary for sexual gratification and that is an object of fixation to the extent that it may interfere with complete sexual expression

The following are real statements that have actually been said to us and probably a lot of other Desi girls too. The majority of these comments have usually been said by white heterosexual men (this is from personal experience, it might be different for you). 

“Ayyyy gurl you look so exotic”

ex·ot·ic

of a uniquely new or experimental nature

When people use the word “exotic” to describe me, I feel like they are creating a boundary between me and them because they have automatically labeled me as “different.” When someone calls me exotic, I feel like it’s objectifying me. The word “exotic” should only be used to describe plants and birds, not a person. 

(in the rare occasion that a woman might describe me as exotic- they probably mean it as a compliment. What it actually comes off as is “you don’t have the same features as me and I don’t understand why.”)

“Where are you from? No, like, where are you really from?”

When someone asks me “where are you really from?” I’m like *side eye emoji.* You are questioning my individuality and my identity. You make it seem like I am dishonest in my answer because you had to ask me a second time. Don’t question where I am from. You give off that egotistical-dominating vibe that you know me better than I do. Don’t assert the male privilege you think you have, on to me. 

What really gets me heated is when these males look at me as if i’m an art of seduction. 

“Do you belly dance?” “Do you know kama sutra?” 

Things that are cultural automatically becomes sexualized to them. I’m not your secret pleasure. To be objectified just because of the color of my skin really puts me in a position that I cannot control. When you ask me these things, not only are you unintentionally degrading some aspects of other cultures, I feel inferior and weak when I really should feel empowered. I didn’t wake up to feel fetishized today.

“You’re pretty for an Indian girl.”

This is probably one of the most disrespectful things you can say to an Indian woman. First of all, all women are beautiful. What this ignorant statement implies is that Indian women don’t meet your standards to whatever preconceived image of what you think beauty is. Society tells us that Eurocentric features are the ideal vision of beauty. You can’t expect an Indian woman to not be offended when you say this to them because you are basically saying that all other Indian women do not meet your “standards” of beauty.

Every Tuesday evening, we are going to discuss a topic/issue within the Desi community that we feel should be addressed. We would love for you to share your opinions and give us feedback on what we had to say about the topic and give us suggestions about what you would like us to discuss in the future. 

Have a great night meri ladoos!💕
