Welcome to NSFW Sunday!
Hotel room porn wasn’t always a thing, writes Brian VanHooker at Mel. In 1971, an Osaka, Japan hotel accidentally transmitted its signal to other buildings in the neighborhood. WhenTime covered the incident, Americans learned about hotel room porn for the first time:
“Among those Americans who read that Time article was a lawyer named Don Leon, who represented a group of motel owners in L.A. Figuring the idea could fly here, he reached out to the hotel group and “convinced [them] to convert an AutoLodge at 930 West Olympic Boulevard… into an ‘adult motel,’ complete with water beds, fur bedspreads, mirrored ceilings and closed-circuit adult films played on Sony U-Matic machines,” Alilunas writes in his book Smutty Little Movies: The Creation and Regulation of Adult Video, where he catalogues much of this history.”
If you want to get comfortable wearing a strap-on, try touching it, masturbating with it, and wearing it just because:
“Even when you’re not going to be using it for sexy playtime, put it on sometimes. Wear it around the house when you are doing chores or doing homework to get used to it. You’ll start to feel how it moves, how it connects to your hips, how the harness feels.
Not all of them are comfortable to put on and wear, I know — but you can figure out a way to wear it without having to move around so much (or put pants on top of it). You could just watch TV.
(Plus, it’s always good to practice putting the harness on and off, since having that be fluid helps with confidence.)”

Trying to make your brain work better? Sex might help:
“In 2017, another study published in the Archives of Sexual Behavior looked at the effect of sex on the cognitive abilities of 78 women aged between 18 and 29. Controlled for other factors such as menstrual phase and relationship length, researchers found that women who had sex more often had better recall of abstract words on a memory test. In fact, the bulk of research done on the benefits of sex on the brain revolves around memory. People who are getting some on a regular basis may be less depressed and more emotionally satisfied too, Winter says. This, he adds, could line up with sex being cognitively beneficial and helpful with focus.”
