Why is it ok to assume consent during fantasies? I can no longer enjoy erotic fantasy unless consent is very clearly dealt with, but I worry that others' imaginations are not as ethical.
I admit that it sometimes affects my enjoyment of light-hearted pleasurable things and can cause people to use their *confused face* on me when I tell them. It started a few years ago, but now I can’t switch it off. My thing is… I just can’t enjoy fantasies unless consent is very clearly dealt with. Does that seem odd? I’m not entirely sure how it happened either, as I wasn’t always like this. It started a while ago with my own fantasies. I’d be imagining something hot happening with my latest crush, and then the logical side of my brain would step in and say, “but that would never happen.”…

We asked an AI for good sex positions and the results are horrifying We trained an AI to ponder life's great questions, such as how to get off even harder.
We are trying to improve and optimize everything with AI, so why not sex also? That was my first thought when I first learned of Talk to Transformer, an interface to OpenAI’s GPT 2 language model. (That’s fancy talk for this AI will talk about any subject you care to prompt it with.) I played around with this thing for about an hour, prompting the AI with lines such as “the best sex position is,” and saved the most interesting finds for your edification. Some of these sex positions aren’t even possible on this plane of existence so you know it’s gonna get really hot. The Zygomaticus position “The best…

Femcels rising: how to cope with lack of sex and intimacy The media is bombarding us with sex tips and sex normalization. But what if we're not getting any? How do the rest of us fit in?
Anyone who is exposed to mainstream media on a regular basis is pretty much constantly reminded of sex. We are told how good it is for you, how we can have better orgasms and how to impress our lovers with exciting new skills. We get told how to attract people to do it with, and how to make those we’ve snared want more. But… what if we’re not getting any, eh? How do the rest of us fit in? It has to be said, some people actively choose not to have sex. Whether they’re committed to religious beliefs which state they should wait until after marriage, or are simply deciding for…

7 signs your man is losing interest in you Don’t shop for China patterns just yet.
Men can be a little tricky to decipher. Yours might seem distant and disinterested, yet be ready for marriage, 2.5 kids, and a three bedroom house in the suburbs.

A girl’s guide to good back door lovin’ It’s no longer just for gays, perverts, or weirdos. Women can and do enjoy butt humping.
Let’s get something straight first – anal sex is not ‘the easiest way to get AIDS’ and it’s not ‘naughty’. In Tristan Taormino’s book The Ultimate Guide to Anal Sex for Women, she mentions these and other myths about anal sex which I think are worth mentioning here. Anal sex is not unnatural or amoral. It’s not just for gay men, perverts, or weirdos any longer. It doesn’t have to be dirty and messy. Straight men who like it are not gay as a result, and women can and do enjoy anal sex. Should sex be reserved purely for reproduction? If you’re reading this then I assume that, like me,…

I’m not your gay BFF If you’re one of those straight women absolutely determined to have a gay friend, here are some base-line rules.
Gay best friends are fun to have if you like people superficially! If you’re not a sociopath, you’ll understand that having a GBF (Gay Best Friend, if you will) is a dumb as shit reason to keep someone around. Sexuality is fluid, it’s also a minute detail of someone’s personality. However, if you’re still one of those people determined to have a gay friend, here are some base-line rules I like to follow when befriending other straight people in a healthy and not insane way that you should apply to your own life. We’re not your toys I feel like due to pop-culture, young women have it in their heads…

This is how you learn to love yourself again Your relationship with yourself is one of the hardest things you’ll ever have to maintain.
Your relationship with yourself is one of the hardest things you’ll ever have to maintain. Life is difficult and sometimes it feels like the universe is actively working against our joy. Whether it’s bills, or school, or even a terrible relationship our lives ebb and flow with both the terrible and the wonderful. Keeping a good grasp on your self-worth can be challenging.

It’s paramount to love yourself to succeed in life, and although I struggle with it at times, I find myself falling a little more in…

If you like your game more than your girlfriend, you’re an asshole Reality check for manchildren.
I regularly hear gamers complain that their girlfriends are on their cases about playing too much. First, you might not be an asshole. You might just be an idiot. Don’t date a non-gamer if you want someone to understand your gaming habits. It’s that simple. But that’s not what I want to talk about today. Today, I’d like to talk about the fact that video games are not better than your girlfriend. If you treat them as such, you’re an asshole. It’s a common misconception for some reason that girl gamers are a rare breed. Not really. But there are still more guys who enjoy games, and the ratio is…
