Welcome to NSFW Sunday! This is not a sponsored post (but y’know, hit us up), I’m just really into seltzer right now.

+ Agents of Ishq is a project from filmmaker and writer Paromita Vohra that explores sexuality, eroticism, feminism, desire, gender and more, and that she hopes will revolutionize the way sex is approached in India. At the Establishment, Sukhada Tatke notes:

“The relevance of the site lies in the fact that though there has been a rise in sexual freedom and casual sex in India, the act continues to be accompanied by the lingering shadow of shame. “Earlier, people were ashamed about admitting to being sexually active. But today, if you are not active sexually or haven’t tried numerous positions, you are not cool enough. Sex has become more about scoring than experiencing it for what it is,” says Vohra, who notes that this signals a cause of concern.”

+ If you’re insecure, you probably like sexting. (The study in question was small and featured heterosexuals; what is your experience with this like?)

+ Sharing what you like to read on dating apps increases your chances of a match, according to new research from a dating app.

+ How do you groom your public hair? A “nationally representative assessment of contemporary female pubic hair grooming habits” thinks it knows:

“Shaving was the most common grooming method at 61 percent, followed by trimming (18 percent), using an electric razor (12 percent), and waxing (5 percent), which is surprising given how many women’s magazine articles are devoted to getting a Brazilian. And while many women said they groomed for “hygienic purposes” (59 percent), more than 20 percent said they did it because their partner preferred it. Guessing that number was even higher for porn-loving millennials. Things that did not affect whether women groomed: how much they made, where they lived, their relationship status, how often they had sex, the type of sex they had, or the sex [hopefully they mean gender] of their partner.”

+ New York Magazine profiled Stoya, beginning with a discussion of rape before turning to her career, Hysterical Literature, reality versus fantasy, consent, making porn better and more:

“Her signature performative skill, the thing that makes a scene starring Stoya different from a scene starring anyone else, is the elation she expresses when having sex. In nearly all her performances, there’s a moment when she starts to laugh. It’s not coquettish. It’s not goofy. It’s not embarrassed. It usually comes as the actions of her partner or partners are starting to really turn her on. The sound Stoya lets loose is a sort of primal giggle of pure pleasure. In a world that exhibits at best a complicated relationship with pleasure (especially female, especially sexual), modeling that kind of unequivocal, physical joy is itself a radical act. Particularly when contrasted with the grotesquely vacant cum-shot montages that characterize so much of corporate porn, it’s also intensely hot.”

+ Your options for getting rid of sex toys include throwing them away, buying from somewhere that will recycle them, sex toy swaps, repurposing them into useful household items and more:

“‘I have a small group of friends I trust and am very comfortable sharing intimate things with, and every once in a while we do a toy swap. I know it sounds like a terrible and kinda creepy idea in general, but really, if it’s sterilizable and comes from someone I trust, why not exchange that glass g-spotter that I never actually use for an awesome purple silicone dildo that doesn’t quite work for my best friend?’ posted rhiannonstone on Metafilter.”
