25 Most-Read Autostraddle Posts of 2020

It’s time to look back on the year and all of the things we did because it’s almost over! Today, as we do every year around this time, we cast an eye upon this year’s most popular posts — posts that were written (or re-written) in 2020, that is. Many of our actual most popular posts of the year were written in previous years and cover topics including Shibari rope bondage, bottoming and topping and f*cking your friends without f*cking up the friendship. But this is 2020. In case you forgot. And this was the most popular stuff of this very year, 2020.

  1. Wow we already really watched some stuff streaming online, huh? Or at least read about watching things to stream online. Or at least… clicked on articles about watching things to stream online

    • I totally agree that my level of concentration in 2020 was more on the level of reading an article about things I could stream, more than picking one and actually watching it.

    • Seconding Zeya’s suggestion ! I barely watch any series, so I don’t read the articles about them, but I love the articles on other topics here. There might be a few more of us ;)
