Circumcision is a Consent Issue

An Interview with Sex & Kink Educator Winter Tashlin

Bodily autonomy is key to consent. “My body, my rules” is a common catchphrase of the feminist movement — and rightfully so!

But other bodily autonomy issues often get overlooked, minimized, or even scoffed at.

Trying Out Sex Toys

6/26/2018

I own very few sex toys.

Historically, I've found sex toys somewhat intimidating. I bought my first sex toy in my late teens — a large, cheap purple jelly vibrator from Spencer's Gifts at the mall (the only place I knew to find sex toys). I didn't really enjoy using it.

But as much as I’d love to completely indulge in hyper-cynicism, I have to admit that dealing with pelvic pain has, in some ways, made my life better. And yes, that includes my sex life.

I know. Bear with me.
