NSFW Lesbosexy Sunday Is Going Commando

Welcome to Underwear Week, a whole week dedicated to your favorite bum-hugging clothesthings. As we said many moons ago, we feel a lady is at her best when she’s not wearing pants. And while our last adventure around this neck of the woods took us only as far as boyshorts, this time around we’re exploring the vast and many-flavored land of underwear. From edible panties to hoopskirts and history, we’ve got you covered. Just like your underwear.

Sometimes you want to look at people in underpants and sometimes you want to look at people going commando. Sometimes the best type of underwear is no underwear at all.


+ The sex toy industry is booming! Alternet on What the $15 Billion Sex Toy Industry Tells Us About Sexuality Today:

People no longer have to drive to the porn store and make a face-to-face purchase,” Dallakian said. “Online ordering with discreet shipping saves you the embarrassment of exposing your kinks to strangers, and there’s absolutely zero risk of running into somebody you know while shopping.”

+ What can we learn from sex by studying our ancient ancestors, apes:

Ryan also hopes his theories will help us fight the war on women: “And that we’ll finally put to rest the idea that men have some innate and instinctive right to monitor and control women’s sexual behavior.” And Ryan wants everyone, not just the gays to come out of the closet: “we all have closets we have to come out of. Right? And when we do come out of those closets, we’ll recognize that our fight is not with each other. Our fight is with an outdated Victorian sense of human sexuality that conflates desire with property rights, and generates shame and confusion, in place of understanding and empathy. It’s time we moved beyond Mars and Venus, because the truth is that men are from Africa and women are from Africa.”

+ At The Daily Mail, Sophie Morgan, who was paralyzed from the waist down after a car accident in 2003, talks about how she totally has sex and everybody needs to get over this misconception that disabled people can’t have sex:

My life is lived mostly in a wheelchair. But I do have sex. There, I’ve said it. Disabled people have sex – and, what’s more, we enjoy it. I must talk about this frankly  because leaving this difficult issue to be skirted around or ignored altogether is a barrier to equality and inhibits the freedom of myself and others like me to enjoy such a basic human need.

+ Lovehoney, who just so happens to sell french maid outfits on their website, claims “french maid” tops the “bedroom fantasy list” for Brits, followed by “Naughty Nurse” (they sell that outfit too) and “Sexy Schoolgirl” (also for sale).

+ At SF Weekly, Chris Hall talks about Sex-Positive Racism: Holding Alt Communities Accountable:

One thing that makes it impossible to discuss racism in queer and kinky communities is that white liberals have crafted their own mythology of racism. Breach this mythology, and you can be dismissed as being “too P.C.” or “hysterical.” The mythology comes in two parts: First, racism is something that uneducated, poor people living in the South do. It’s segregated water fountains and Bull Conner turning the water hoses on black people, and comes from living in trailer parks and listening to too much country music. The second part is that the solution to racism is to ignore race. 

+ Here on Autostraddle, Ali has advice on harnesses for trans-women and tech-savvy sexytime panties, we’ve got 115 girls in their underpants, and underwear week is just chock-full of nether-region-related advice.

  1. The first thing that popped in my mind when I started flipping through that gallery was “I like big butts”. I tried to stop singing it at first but then half way through I just gave into it and played the song while I was looking through the gallery so at least there were more words than the first three lines.

    Also re what we can learn about sex from apes. Female bonobos scissor about once every two hours on average. Well technically they are chimpanzees not apes but relevant none the less.

  2. I’m a butt girl. And I love panties. This has been my favorite week on autostraddle since forever.

  3. I love the pics of the girl with a shirt on and her butt naked. Don’t know what it is– but ah, that shirt and nothing else is such a visual turn on.
