+ Sometimes friend crushes are just crushes and sometimes they’re not:
“There are probably at least three or four good friends on my Hard Crush list and dozens more on my Soft. (Soft Crush = would hit it, plain and simple, I think this person is a pure babe and want our bodies to be friends; Hard Crush = please pet my hair while we watch a movie and tell your mom you like me; did you know I wrote a song about you, nothing weird you’re just amazing?) Some of them are aware of their status as crushees and some of them aren’t, and, overall, I feel pretty OK. You can have a crush on a buddy—and maybe even tell them about it!—and it does not have to ruin anything. Not your life, not your friendship, not your ability to listen to instrumental guitar music without crying.”
+ At Refinery 29, Stoya has advice on period sex and how people aren’t magically perfect.
+ Your brain chemistry might be messing with how you feel about your relationship.

+ If you’re still at home for American Thanksgiving, here is how to have sex without getting caught (also applies to other holidays spent around family):
“If you’d like to have sex in the house, it’s best to do it during the day when the noises of your lovemaking will be covered by the noises of holiday revelry, such as your father complaining about Obama or your mother loudly folding sweaters in another room. You may not know this, but it’s a universal rule that no matter what bed your parents have put you in, it will creak like it’s being murdered (the sound is not unlike a child’s shrill-pitched scream) at the first suggestion of coitus. Everyone will immediately know what’s going on. The floor may be less comfortable and may creak, but creaks are easily explained away, unlike the angry screaming of old bedsprings.”

+ At the Toast, Lindsay King-Miller writes about getting a little more married with every same-sex marriage law change.
+ Some people in their twenties get divorced, this is fine.
+ Wearing socks could increase your chance of orgasming during sex.
+ Please have sex in places other than your bed.

+ UPS stores might 3D print sex toys for you:
“It turns out there’s no rule against requesting the creation of a 3D-printed dildo from your friendly UPS Store employees. Want a set of anal beads, a sleek new butt plug, or maybe even an entire human fist to enjoy in the bedroom? A representative tells us that as far as UPS is concerned, those items are A-OK.”
+ Just because you and a potential partner are non-monogamous doesn’t mean you’re non-monogamous in the same way. After all, people in open relationships can still cheat.

While the idea of 3D printed sex toys is cool, I have serious concerns about the materials used. For one thing, UPS is not likely to use body-safe plastics. For another, even if the plastics *are* body-safe they are often somewhat porous, making them a breeding ground for bacteria. And if the design leaves any sort of seam or rough edge, you’re looking at tearing in places that really aren’t meant to be torn.
Yea it doesn’t seem like something UPS should be doing. But I totally see market niche for a sex positive store/website with 3D printed designs and a 3D printer.
I agree! On a professional and personal level I really want to try printing and using 3D-printed sex toys, but also there is gonna be a lot of research and condom/glove wrapping first.
The GF and I were just talking about how “Sex” is an unintentional dyke anthem! If only Mary Lambert would cover it, then my life can be complete.
I have a soft crush on pretty much every single one of my friends.
Also *very* irresponsible for having a pic of someone looking SO GOOD with a cigarette ;)
thank you so f*cking much for that badass feature image. and in fact all of the pictures in this piece are gorgeous and inclusive and i love you. pick all of the pics forever.

I needed the crush article more than I realized. Man, girls are pretty. Pfff. But I feel better generally, so thanks for passing that along.
(The pictures help too. Loved this week’s selection.)
Just snort laughed through that how-to article at work
Crushes definitely don’t have to be the end of a good friendship. Yeah, it hurts (it definitely hurts) when your crush doesn’t feel the same way, but you can’t let it be the end all, be all. And the feeling a crush gives you, does make you feel good, like anything is possible, and maybe one day, one of your crushes could be the one.
Finally created an account to post this (I have been lurking seriously for several months…)!
Anyway, I’d just like to say that this week’s collection was great! Since I’m in Oz, it’s a Monday – “lesbosexy sunday” posts are the one good thing about the day!
