protostellar asked: I agree with your stance that many kinds of porn can be problematic, especially considering the industry often uses outdated sexual ideas (i.e. the virgin/whore complex) and the objectifies women for the consumption of men. BUT there's nothing wrong with being visually stimulated by porn and using it as part of your sex life. I have a difficult time finding feminist porn that isn't...

tumblaah asked: Hey, I wanted to give the anon another perspective on a 'boyfriend watching porn' issue. Everyone has different sexual boundaries, we all have no right to judge others for theirs right? Well some women's sexual boundaries include not liking their boyfriend watching porn. Don't feel that you have to be fine with it if you're not. Talk to him about it. If he still wants porn...

Anonymous asked: Hi, this is the anon that first asked about the porn issue. I would just like to make it clear that I KNOW watching porn is normal. I KNOW that it is not cheating. I for one did not expect for you to condemn porn. I kind of suspected that he was watching it, it was just a shock to find it and see that it was a solo girl. I was just asking for advice on how to feel more comfortable about it. Thanks...

Anonymous asked: "I would again suggest addressing the underlying issues around porn in your relationships before condemning your partner for watching something that quite frankly may have nothing to do with you." EXACTLY. I never understand when girls tell me that they don't let their boyfriends watch porn or go to strip clubs. Set boundaries, talk about it, but know that IT IS NORMAL. He probably...

jojoholmes asked: Something interesting about the female condom is that it is actually more effective at protecting both partners from getting herpes, HPV warts, etc. because it covers more of the skin surrounding the vagina! A lot of people have HPV and it is definitely something to keep in mind, especially if you partner tells you that he or she has outbreaks. You should let your followers know about this because...

Definitely- but some of the deals are for toys with creepy/toxic ingredients (Probably should’ve mentioned this in the original post…oops!). Make sure to check out the safety of the material before you buy!

humynfirst replied to your post: Already lost a bunch of followers for not condemning pornography
wooo! so are you pro-pornography?
I would not say I am pro all kinds of pornography. I think definitely think there are some kinds of porn that are not great and many kinds that are problematic. However, feminist porn is amazing, and I don’t think there is anything wrong with watching porn if...

becauseiamawoman:
I do not agree with you, and I will continue to dispense advice as I see fit when it comes to pornography. I never said that all porn is innocent, however I truly believe there is nothing wrong with watching it, especially if it is feminist porn (and I have featured various articles on this in the past).
Although the kinds of porn you mentioned are definitely not harmless and...

Anonymous asked: i wouldn't be dispensing advice that porn is normal/harmless/within the bounds of every relationship. because not everyone agrees. porn use is not all innocent. there is lots of rape/sketchy consent in porn and there is child porn among regular porn. lots of women, me included, feel it is a form of cheating when your partner uses images of other people to get off.
yesmeansyes asked: Regarding the individual who just wrote in about boyfriend watching girls masturbating - that might be something that you should consider incorporating into your sex life with him, because it obviously turns him on. Knowing what porn your significant other watches can sometimes help you figure out what they're interested in doing in bed. Next time you start to fool around, offer to touch...
Anonymous asked: how can a teenage girl get her hands on a vibrator?
Anonymous asked: Hi! I need some advice. My boyfriend and I have a strong relationship and an active sex life, I thought, but recently I found out that he watches porn. I know that is a normal thing, but it wasn't so much het porn so much as just girls masturbating. And it hurt my feelings and I haven't been able to get over it. Any advice?

Slut-Shaming: A Small Facet to the Bigger Picture...
liberal-antics:
I would like to start off by saying I rarely use the term “slut-shaming.” Here’s a couple reasons why:
Not every person who has sex and enjoys it has reclaimed the word “slut.” It assumes everyone is comfortable with referring to themselves as such, but that’s not true.
People have negative connotations with the word “slut,” which makes them less receptacle to accepting...
