drifting on the surface

Oh god embarrassing sex stories… I was hooking up with this woman for the first time, we were both into it, did a bit of foreplay, we’re about to have sex. I pull out a condom, she starts to roll it over her cock, then it breaks. Her cock is too big for any of the condoms I have. We had to cancel the sex, we’re both naked, she’s laughing hysterically and pulls out her phone to tell her three closest friends that she “got cockblocked by my own cock”. We kept seeing each other again, and three years later we’re married 🥰

Working at the sex shop really did rewire my brain. There was basically no topic that was too taboo to talk about, and what little propriety I’d had evaporated. I’d be out walking and chatting with friends about erotica I’d had to read that day only to be shushed and realize people were staring at me.

“In the war film, a soldier can hold his buddy—as long as his buddy is dying on the battlefield. In the western, Butch Cassidy can wash the Sundance Kid’s naked flesh—as long as it is wounded. In the boxing film, a trainer can rub the well-developed torso and sinewy back of his protege—as long as it is bruised. In the crime film, a mob lieutenant can embrace his boss like a lover—as long as he is riddled with bullets. 

ok but the way he's still kind of getting outcunted by the guy on the left

Touch me

anti-fatness is not just body shaming.

I use Canva for work and I am losing my mind over this image when you search for “fellowship” and “teamwork”

This is a very interesting case where cultural differences come into play. I see this and yes, immediately what I see is the visual representation of “fellowship” and “teamwork”!  But to people from other cultures this can look like a bunch of people grabbing someone’s butt.

I’m laughing, but there’s a super useful corollary, which my husband calls “the Red Balloon.” He was a defense lawyer and had a fair number of drug addicts come through, and there is a thing where if you’re like, on your first offense, they’ll do a thing where you can go to treatment and if you complete it they’ll take the conviction off your record.  And he would tell his clients, “Look, everyone’s going to tell you not to do drugs. They’re going to say it over and over again. And it’s like, if people tell you not to think of a white elephant, you’re going to think of a white elephant. But the trick to not thinking about a white elephant is to think of a red balloon. So you need to find your red balloon. For some people it’s yoga. For others it’s woodworking. For some people it’s scrapbooking or gardening or any of a long list of things to do. They focus on that, it’s a lot easier to succeed in ignoring the white elephant.” So yeah, “watch yourself” is one thing… but the better idea is to watch something else. (Even if it’s fanfic about werewolves fucking.)

There is a phrase I use A LOT in my parenting and my son gets very sick of it, but it’s true:

crazy because like. to anyone who has ever spent any time in transmasc/trans man spaces sex ed is such a necessity, especially if youre on t. so many people dont know about atrophy and the effects and how to be safe about it. so many people dont know about bottom growth and expect a trans man 10 years on t's genitalia to look no different to a cis woman - i know countless trans men whos partners left them when they started t solely because they got weirded out by bottom growth. i personally dont bottom and SO many cis and trans people dont even consider that to be a possibility for a sexually active transmasc. the comments being like "oooh its so obvious just talk to them like anyone else" yeah but also itd be great if everyone was more aware, its kind of annoying to explain all this stuff every single time you wanna hook up, and for a lot of people to still get freaked out at the sight of a naked trans man

People. I’m not going to keep saying this.

Unironically my tits grow faster for a few days every time I eat salmon

ok this looks like a joke but it's actually serious, if you are prepping for anal sex and you over-clean you are stripping away the natural mucus that lines the rectum and protects it from damage. All you need to do to make sure you're clean enough for sex is make sure to eat a well-balanced diet with a good amount of fiber, evacuate the bowels (i.e. poop) beforehand, MAYBE douche using a SMALL amount of PLAIN WATER in an enema bulb (not repeatedly or excessively), and then wash the outer surrounding area gently with soap and water in the shower. That's it! Don't put soap up your ass, or any kind of "cleanser"! Don't douche 5000 times! And be sure to use a lot of lube especially if you did choose to douche, because it makes you more vulnerable to injury from friction! Stay safe and don't hurt your butthole
