+ Sex strikes: they can work, and they will especially get you media attention. According to Slate:
“Generally, sex strikes–known in activist circles as ‘Lysistratic non action,’ a nod to Aristophanes’ ancient Greek comedy–appear to be more successful when the women involved have little economic autonomy, when their demands are specific and realistic, and when they possess endurance and strength in numbers. In the tiny, rural Filipino town of Dado last year, women belonging to a sewing collective successfully brought an end to violence on a thoroughfare connecting Dado and a regional market center by withholding sex from their husbands for a week. And a four-month, 300-woman sex strike in the Colombian town of Barbacoas last year succeeded, with local authorities promising to improve conditions on the roads connecting Barbacoas to the nearest town.”

+ Having constant orgasms because of everything really sucks, actually:
“Imagine feeling aroused for no reason other than you got up that day,” she said. “I’ve even had one in public. I was travelling home on the train and it was a bit of a bumpy ride. Every jerk of the train or vibration made me more aroused and it was a 40-minute journey so there was nothing I could do. I just had to bite my lip and sit on my hands and hope no one noticed.”

+ A Saturday History Lesson from The Rumpus on When Edith Wharton Wrote Erotica:
“Could she have known that 1968 would coincide with the sexual revolution, that what might have been obscene in her lifetime would change and no longer be? Could she have predicted that her narrative now sound so tame, set alongside our childhood V.C. Andrews collections, not to mention any current romance-bondage pulp-sensations That Shall Go Unnamed? Did she predict that at some future there would be no call from primness, or embarrassment, about these sorts of fantasies? Of course we’ll never know. But that might just be how she wanted it.”

+ Babies and Bellybuttons and other weird-ass misconceptions about sex, from Kate Conway at xojane: “When I was a kid, my parents made sure to tell me that babies were made from sperm and eggs, but it took me 15 years to figure out that balls don’t live inside dudes like sleeping chipmunks.”
+ This compilation of Disability and Sexuality Resources is quite something! On that same tip, if you’re in London you should hit up the “Sexual Freedom Day for Disabled People” event on September 24th, scheduled to coincide with the Woodhull Sexual Freedom Summit happening in DC, which promises an “LGBT Grotto.”
+ Too much sex can feel weirder than not enough sex, but that you should just appreciate it.

+ Go Topless Day in New York was a success, featured lots of topless women:
“‘We say there is nothing wrong with the female nipple,’ Karen Heaven, an organizer of the event, told the crowd that quickly formed around her in Manhattan’s Bryant Park. She was wearing white pants and not much else besides a purse over her shoulder. ‘My dog has six, I have two, but I can be put in jail for showing my nipples. It’s 2012 — what are we thinking?’
It is legal for women to go topless in public in New York City but laws vary widely across the United States. Heaven and her colleagues say discrimination is unconstitutional and they want full equality.”

+ Sometimes you just need to use a condom (sharing a strap-on, anyone?). According to Wirecutter, the best one is Trojan Ecstasy Ultra Ribbed (though note that anything with lube inside as well as out would make a less than ideal makeshift dental dam).
+ Pixel Smut, by Max Capacity, is a series of pixel-based drawings of lesbian sex.

+ Rachel Rabbit White went to a lesbian cougar meet-up, for Journalism:
“When I arrive at the bar a woman named Judith, who has small wire glasses and short neon blue hair wraps, waves me over. I introduce myself, as ‘just the writer’ and we start talking about what she is here for. Unsurprisingly, she’s here for younger women.
‘There is something about women at 27 or 28,’ she says. ‘They are young but they know themselves, they are grounded. Plus, I need someone who can stay up having sex all night.’ Judith’s eyes glitter and wrinkle at the corners. She looks like someone you might find yourself in an orgy with at an acid-fueled pre-Burning Man loft party. I am surprised when she tells me she is 60 years old — because she looks younger and also because, to my surprise, I was sort of into imagining that whole Burning Man orgy scenario.”

+ There’s pole dancing, and then there’s epic pole dancing.

I woke up this morning and looked in the mirror to see the impossible had happened: my alternative lifestyle bedhead wasn’t a greasy, cow licked mess, but instead looked shaggy and messy and AWESOME. This has literally never ever happened to me before.
So what I’m trying to say is yes, Autostraddle, my hair does look nice today, thank you for noticing!
I don’t have an amazing alternative lifestyle hairdo, but I do have one bad ass cowlick. I also woke up this morning with my bangs laying submissively over to the side, just like they’re supposed to (but never, ever do until I fry them with my flat iron). If I were a god-fearin’ lady, I’d say it was the Lord’s work on this lovely Sunday, but seeing as I am not, I am just going to hope that this is hair evolution and we will both be waking up with amazing hair every morning.
Hair high fives, all around.
I was going to say something clever but then the writhing queers in picture two made everything go away.
mmm, all the hipbones.
Writhing, hehe. I love that word. It’s so fun. I think the neat thing about those queers is the clothing. The one girl is wearing the red, lacier looking underwear, both a bra and panties, and flats, as well as having longer hair, while the other girl is in fabulous blue boyshorts, sneakers, and has cute, dykier hair.
What I’m trying to say here is dayuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuum that’s all kinds of sexy.
Holy writhing lesbians Batman! That picture series is hot. How am I supposed to concentrate on my astronomy homework now?!
Yeah…went to the artist’s website to look through the whole series as well. What is with all of Berlin’s hot queers?! They need to calm down. Until I get there.
ahh the good old fashioned empowering women through denying sex. maybe that’s how we can get equal rights, ending porn etc. (but how will the empowered women get their porn? hmms)
See, porn doesn’t need to be ended, IMO, it needs to be reformed. Porn is fun, but it’s often oppressive and hurtful and it needs to be reformed and made more friendly and awesome, like many queer porn groups are trying to do(like crashpad :3).
That pole dance video was ree-dik-u-laus
Yeah, I’ll have a, uhhh, number one and, ummmm, number 4 with some lube on the side, please. Fire fighters are yummy
I actually wouldn’t mind getting catcalled on the street by construction workers, if they were like the pic #4 crew… Hm, I’ll be in my bunk.
Though before I leave, here’s another EPIC pole dancing video :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=waIuhfoTMv8
I just can’t believe how STRONG pole dancers are. When I saw the air-walking thing in that video the first time, I literally blurted “Hoooly shit!!” at my screen.
Edith Wharton just made my day.
Yay for a shout out for pole dancing! As a teacher of pole and exotic dance, it’s cool to see good props for it (though, honestly, it’s not called “epic pole dancing” it’s just pole dancing. Every move in that vid was pretty standard when not slowed down, most people just don’t realize how crazy amazing competitive/performing pole dancers can be these days. I highly recommend Jenyn Butterfly and Pantera Blacksmith if you want to see more :) It’s all absolutely mindblowing and gorgeous.)
And for the blogger of the piece the vid was posted at: yes, it is in the works for becoming an olympic sport. :)
I’m going to have to go ahead and say that it takes damn incredible strength to appear to be either underwater or in anti-gravity when in fact, one is just hanging onto a fifteen foot pole with one’s crotch.
I feel super, super out of shape. I should probably take pole dancing class to rectify that.
It totally does take some killer flexibility and strength, though I’d say it takes more pole burn endurance skills than strength. You’ll bruise in places you didn’t even know could bruise, lol. But it really is a fantastic workout and it never gets repetitive or boring like other workouts can. I highly recommend it!
It’s such a hard decision: comment on the need to start a FIRE so I can be visited by the firefighters (no need for full uniform, ladies!) or comment on the “curlscurlscurls” beauty!
Decisions, decisions, decisions…
Oh my goddess the firefighters
There’s a whole calendar of them: http://www.tffacalendar.com/
Outstanding hair is non-negotiable!
Right?! It’s the only factor of my day that I have on lockdown.
I stopped reading the article after the pic of the firefighters. words jus looked like squiggles on the screen until my brain rebooted. and then i didnt wanna read anymore.
i’m curious where that last picture of jiz lee is from, because it’s freakin’ sweet. she’s talented
