Dating Is Not Fun Or Interesting And You Should Read All About It

What does it take to be a successful sex blogger? I read a few of the newer sex blogs last night and familiarized myself with traits of a successful sex blogger: must be female, cisgender, blond, thin, and pretty enough to be photographed nude. It also helps to live on one of the coasts and […]

5 Ways to Enjoy a Baggage Free Valentines Day

This piece is from 2013 but I think some of you may enjoy it in 2014! People get so bent out of shape about Valentine’s Day. I think the problem is we get so hung up on the idea that it’s about having a romantic love interest and corporate bullshit that we totally miss the […]

Femmytomboy by Jera Brown

I’ve always been a little femme and a little tomboy – a princess and a jedi, comfortable with mascara and power tools.

Genderqueer Erotica Excerpt: Sam Rosenthal’s “Rye”

There is No Wrong Way to Have an Orgasm. I Promise.

Why Lena Dunham’s naked butt is the best thing to happen on TV in a long while

“Unlike Seth Rogen, whose career was ruined by losing the weight, the dominant discourse insists that fat girls are worthy of our ridicule, as a woman has to be ‘f*ckable’ to be liked.
