Alone With Your...Thoughts?
A few years after my vasectomy, when my new partner and I wanted to start having barrier-free sex, we agreed I would go to give a sample and have it analyzed - just to make sure there weren’t any swimmers still in the pool. I remember wondering if the facility I would visit would have any visual materials to facilitate orgasm. Turns out they did...but just in case, I brought some of my own. Call me a pragmasturbator. I just didn’t want to be left high and...longer-than-necessarily-dry. I mean, it would have happened...but I didn’t want to hang out there longer than need be. I can’t remember what they had on offer, but after reading about how other facilities go about choosing porn for pullin', I wish I could!
Just Hit Five Knuckle Shuffle
On the topic of self-love, I might have to take back my own pragmasturbator card right after coining the term because I now realize I do not have my own personal playlist for pleasure. I have to say, there are some curious choices provided by these brave folks who detail the jams they like to use while jerking-off. Some are current and some are classics. Now that I do see others doing it, I put some thought (yeah…thought) into what my own masturbation music might be, and I think I came up with my choice.
Appreciating Amy
I’ll admit, I wasn’t completely onboard with Amy Schumer at first. I know a lot of people still aren’t. I am a convert. Not being a huge fan of crass humor, I wasn’t drawn to her work in the beginning. She seemed to try too hard to “push the envelope.” Now, after seeing more, hearing more, and reading more of what she has to say, I realize she has to push that envelope until it is completely ripped apart. Schumer is breaking ground for women trying to dash the stereotypes and social assumptions that we've had ingrained in us about women and sex. She’s nailing the social commentary thing like nobody else out there today, and she’s funny while doing it. Love her or hate her, Amy Schumer is where our conversations of women and sex are at these days.
