Are Groping, Licking, and Fondling Allowed at Sex Museums?
THE ANSWER IS NO, BTW! If you have to be told not to 'grope, lick, fondle, or fuck the exhibits' you might not be in a "traditional museum." In my last post, MAIL TIME: Vulvas Protect from Evil, I shared a postcard that was purchased from the Vagina Museum in London, England. Of course, I had … Continue reading Are Groping, Licking, and Fondling Allowed at Sex Museums?
MAIL TIME: Vulvas Protect from Evil
One of my favorite things about starting this series is diving into the psyche of people across the globe and learning what they infer as NSFW or erotic.

Crotch Cooties and How to Avoid Them
One of the worst calls I could receive plagued my missed calls a few weeks ago. The return phone call was nerve-wracking.

The resolved voice … Continue reading Crotch Cooties and How to Avoid Them

HIMYM’s Lily’s 50 Reasons to Have Sex
I am still on my How I Met Your Mother kick.

Self-Care for When You’ve Hit Rock Bottom
