Is porn feminist? Is watching porn feminist? Is making porn feminist? These are conversations that I hear all the time in feminist and sex-related circles, and I just want to throw my two cents out there…
Sex toy shopping can be weird. I’ll be the first to admit that. Our society’s attitudes toward sex and masturbation are weird, and it’s usually not often that we buy things that are going to interact with our bodies so intimately. But because they interact with our bodies so intimately, there are a lot of considerations that need to be made when purchasing your sex toys…
In general, wearable couples vibrators are not something that usually excites me. I appreciate the wearable aspect as an accessibility feature, but even then, the motors in those toys are usually pretty weak and buzzy, and they can be really finicky about actually fitting different people’s bodies and staying in the right place. So when We-Vibe sent me their newest couples toy, the Sync, I was as skeptical as I’ve ever been…
Despite being one of the few topics that’s actually reliably covered in basic school sex education, pregnancy is still a subject that a lot of people are confused about. As someone who discusses sex online, a large percentage of the questions I get from people are about pregnancy concerns. If I do this, could I get pregnant? If I did this, could I be pregnant? …
In the 1970s, Gosnell Duncan, a man with a spinal cord injury, came out with the first ever line of silicone dildos, paving the way for the body-safe sex toy movement as we know it today.

When the nice folks at Fun Factory sent me the Miss Bi for review, they also hilariously included a small army of tiny dildos. And I fully intend on taking over the world with them. I have had my eye on the Fun Factory Miss Bi ever since the toy came out a year ago…
You guys have sex questions. I (sometimes) have sex answers. Let’s do another Q&A! I get a lot of questions from people who find direct clitoral stimulation uncomfortable or painful and want to know if there’s something wrong with them…
It’s pretty much impossible to talk about the Satisfyer Pro 2 without comparing it to the Womanizer. And much like the Womanizer, this is a toy that leaves me with a lot of questions. Why does it have such a stupid name? …
When I pulled the Tantus Bound out of the box for the first time, I had the sinking feeling that I’d made a terrible mistake. I don’t think you can fully appreciate exactly how intense this toy’s texture is until you’re holding it in your hand. This is not a dildo for the faint of heart or orifice…
When I talk about avoiding pain during penetrative sex, I tend to give a lot of the same advice. Go slowly. Use lube. Make sure you’re completely comfortable and aroused. Try being on top so that you can control the speed and depth of penetration…
