NSFW Lesbosexy Sunday Will Sext You All Night

Welcome to NSFW Sunday!

+ A new Slate series looks at non-normative parts of sexualities, including non-monogamy and poly-related terminology, kinky terminology and more.

+ Craftivist Casey Jenkins’ latest performance-art piece involves knitting with wool inside of her vagina.

+ The crowd-funded Minna Limon, a vibrator that buzzes harder when you squeeze it harder, is now available.

+ A new course at Elon University in North Carolina will teach students how to masturbate.

+ The New Yorker weighed in on the lesbian sex scenes in Blue is the Warmest Color with a discussion between Richard Brody, who liked the film’s use of sex, and Emily Nussbaum, who had more complicated thoughts.

+ Good Vibrations is hosting the Quickies Erotic Short Film Competition and has a series of interviews with the filmmakers leading up to the competition. One filmmaker, Sara Koppel, addresses the clit:

“My film “Little Vulvah and her clitoral awareness” is a short story about a girl who wakes up as from a dream, and then she sets out to explore nature, while discovering her clitoris.

This film is made with a great desire to create dialogue about women’s sexuality and taboo areas like women discovering their clitoris. And I’m hoping to get mothers and daughters to “dare” talk about this awareness and to encourage openness in the field.”

+ Fucking Trans Women, a zine about the sex lives of trans women, was released in October 2010 by Mira Bellwether, who Kennedy interviewed about creating a how-to guide for sex, having sex without it becoming a gender studies class and everyone’s different stories. Though it was originally released only as a .pdf, it has since been released in print.

+ The best way to feel sexy every single day of 2014 is to pick up the 2014 Autostraddle Calendar! It’s only $12 for a limited time only!

+ People are having less sex, allegedly because of depression, the recession and technology:

“The third National Survey of Sexual Attitudes and Lifestyles (Natsal) found that, on average, people aged 16-44 have sex just under five times a month, compared with figures of 6.2 for men and 6.3 for women in the previous survey, in 2000. […]

‘There’s a strong relationship between unemployment and low sexual function, according to the literature,’ [Professor Kaye Wellings, of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine] said.

‘That is to do with low self-esteem, depression. At the other end of the scale iPads and computers have all breached the boundary between the home and the bedroom.’”

+ From Maggie Veness’ “The Invitation” in Best Lesbian Erotica 2013, edited by Kathleen Warnock:

“In my favorite fantasy I lock the door behind us, tenderly kiss your mouth and begin to slowly undress you. After undoing the tiny buttons on your blue satin blouse, I slip my palms beneath the fabric and slide it off your strong shoulders. I gently bite your neck, stroke the rippling curve of your ribs, draw out your dark nipples and suck four of your fingers into my mouth. Eventually, I drag your skirt and panties to the floor.”
