slut-shaming:
A WARNING...

Lustability Website: Sexual Compatibility →
I just played around with this website, taking the quiz, and making my partner take the quiz as well. We read an in depth analysis of our sexual compatibility, and it was pretty accurate and fun to read! If you have time, and someone you’d like to compare answers to (they have to consent to take the quiz), take a few minutes to play!

Can Perpetrators of Relationship Abuse Be...
As a pop culture enthusiast, as well as being a staunch feminist and advocate for survivors of domestic, sexual and relationship abuse, I’ve been following the whole Rihanna/Chris Brown situation (mess) ever since 2009, when the physical attack on Rihanna was exposed to the media.

Just to reiterate: you can be sex-aversive AND...
lizziegoneastray:
Why is this? Because sex-positivity is not intended to be about personally wanting to have sex; it’s about supporting the right of all people of all genders to have as much or as little sex as they want without being judged by arbitrary standards of “purity” or “experience.” It’s about believing that other people’s bodies, and the ways in which they do or do not choose to...

S.O.S. (Safe Oral Sex)
In my high school health class, the unit on sexually transmitted infections (STIs) was dreaded and awkward. Our health teacher put up a slide show of male and female genitalia that was infected with different STIs, and ended the lecture with a discussion on safe-sex barrier methods, such as the male and female condom.
Do youemember hearing things like “Put a condom on for every sex act”...

Safer Sex and Contraception for Trans* Guys
artoftransliness:
A lot of us are less than well-informed about how to have safe sex and prevent pregnancy as trans* guys, partially because there isn’t a lot of information out there specifically for us.
-For oral sex involving vulvas (vulvae?), a good way to reduce the chance of STI transmission is to use dental dams. These can be purchased at sex shops and similar locations or created using...

“As I’ve come out over the years about different things, I’ve come to understand...”
– Jiz Lee — “How to Come Out Like A Porn Star”.
Jiz wrote this in terms of coming out as a porn star, being kinky, queer and having a trans* identity, but this can resonate to those who come out about anything. Also, Jiz Lee is awesome.
