Welcome to NSFW Sunday! I’m at A-Camp this week but I’m doing my best.
+ From “Reunion Tour” by Harper Bliss in Best Lesbian Erotica, 20th Anniversary Edition, edited by Sacchi Green:
“It’s this unrelenting want that undoes me in the end. I witness my own unraveling instead of yours. I drop the belt to the floor and position myself behind you. Even glancing backward at me, your neck twisted in an awkward, possibly painful position, you have the nerve to sink your teeth into your bottom lip. Yes. I give in. I don’t say this out loud, but I know you get the message loud and clear.
Roughly, I spread your legs as wide as they can go, and I lock my gaze on the wetness in front of me. How long will you last this time? I know you fight hard to make it last; I can feel it in the way you twitch, and in how you push your body away from me when I fuck you, but I always find the spot.”
+ Into masturbating using the water flow in the bathtub or shower and not into just getting a hand-held shower head for some reason? The WaterSlyde, disagreeably marketed as “the feminine hygiene device that simulates” even though it’s creator is all about masturbation, helps extend the bathtub faucet.
+ Sex on Adderall is different from sex not on Aderall.
+ The graham cracker was invented to stop masturbation. (It didn’t work. Who wants to invent a s’mores-inspired vibrator?)
+ A new study on “Canadian polyamorists” gives the CBC a good excuse to talk about (hetero) poly stuff but is fun in an anthropological “ohh hmmm a lot of people really don’t know about this stuff huh” sort of way. (May I politely recommend our Poly Pocket series as an alternative oops I just did.)
+ Contemporary discourse on being single is not particularly empowering.
+ Counterfeit sex toys, or uninspected knock-offs in an already unregulated world, are all over sites like Amazon and a problem:
“While no safety standards currently exist for the sex toy industry, many companies say they have adopted a code of ethics surrounding the products they put out to market. Counterfeiters, however, aren’t likely to follow suit. […]
According to a report put together by the Daily Dot, bootleggers are known to dodge production standards by using cheap materials in place of the safety-approved options out there. Melamine has been found in a number of products. While the chemical has been approved by the FDA for manufacturing purposes, it is not recommended for human consumption. And though there are no ‘direct human studies on the effect of melamine,’ the World Health Organization reports that the chemical has been known to cause bladder stones in animal tests. ‘When combined with cyanuric acid, which may also be present in melamine powder, melamine can form crystals that can give rise to kidney stones.’”
+ From the Autostraddle Sex Archives: Carrie Wade writes “Dear Able-Bodied Partner“:
“Your panicked questions, the constant pressure, and those backhanded compliments all imply that my disability is a problem I need you to solve. That’s kind of the only language we have for when able-bodied and disabled people get together. And I, for one, am pretty bored of it. So let me offer an alternative: I don’t need you to save me. I need you to see me.”
Wow, the sex on Adderall article was illuminating! My experience has been very similar to the author’s.
interesting about the graham cracker, but warn me I’m being linked to the NY Post next time? I need to scrub my digital cookies now and purge every stupid article I saw from the corner of my eye. :P
I know, I learned about Corn Flakes in college, and how the guy who made it also helped make one of the first early food pyramid charts in tandem with insurance companies(cause insurance thought less people fucking or masturbating the less insurance they will use).
Thank you for that. :D
For those wishing to check the website of links – not sure which browser you use, but with Chrome when I hover over a link a box with the URL pops up in the bottom left of the window!
I don’t and can’t use Chrome, but thank you Sam! :D
Same with Firefox.
I like the 2nd to last pic
While the sex based history of the Graham cracker is amusing to be sure, the title of the article reinforces a common myth and it’s connects confirms why. Sylvester Graham may have inspired a vegetarian movement with followers called Grahamites, he didn’t invent the Graham cracker, or the main food elements that share his name: Graham bread or Graham flour. They were invented by other and he made no profit from them.
The modern Graham cookie cracker was patented long he died and it’s sweet flavored recipe goes for just the opposite effect of the passion inhibiting diet he advocated. Near the end of the article, one author sited as a source even said that Sylvester would be rolling his grave over the popular snake that bears his name.
Sheesh, please excuse my usual typos!
Hi this sentence “Into masturbating using the water flow in the bathtub or shower and not into just getting a hand-held shower head for some reason?” makes me want to flip you off, thanks for being so inclusive of peoples’ varying preferences and not judgmental at all, I totally don’t feel shamed for not enjoying the stupid showerhead
Lol…
There are a lot of serious issues with counterfeit goods, but the presence of melamine in a product that isn’t food is really a minor one.
