Sex Benching is the new Glove Lunching, didn’t you know?
Friends! Pals. Lights of my life! Next week is A-Camp, and I am freaking out! If you’re going to camp, and you’re freaking out, I’m here for you; also if you’re NOT going to camp, and freaking out about THAT, I am absolutely here for you! At this time, I’m going to go ahead and ask you to remind me that I cannot buy another jean jacket, I do not have the MONEY for a jean jacket, please and thank you! I can’t wait to see some of you on the mountain in the valley, and I can’t wait to return to all of the rest of you the following week!
Anyway! This week, Reneice made Pride cookies.
Molly reviewed Kristen Arnett’s Mostly Dead Things, the book I would absolutely be reading at camp if I ever had time to read at camp.
Taylor wrote about hunting as a black, queer woman of color.
Courtney wants you to go on a casual date!
It’s nearly June – want to host a Pride meet-up in your city for Autostraddle dot com?
Anon reviewed the Womanizer, which apparently remains – to this day! – the best sex toy with the worst name.
Valerie Anne (hilariously) reviewed The Perfection, the most bananas horror movie I have ever seen, that also happens to be queer!
THIS SERIES IS A LOT AND I LOVE IT: YES NO MAYBE: Intergalactic Aliens and Magical Dildos.

See a comment that needs to be here? @ me! I’m [at] queergirl on Autostraddle and [at] queergirlblogs on Twitter.
It will always be “the mountain” for me.
Mt Feelings for life!
Though the Valley of Feelings does have a certain ring to it
As I walk through The Valley of Feelings
I curse that hill
it’s homophobic
Awwww Mt. Feelings <3
I mean, I have some pretty strong feelings about that Hill, we can call it a mountain if you want
I second calling that hill a mountain! Especially being at the furthest cabin at the top…. that hill.
Have a great time at camp QG! You do not need another jean jacket
hahaha thank you carms, save me from myself
I love how the Comment Awards lately is all about encouraging inter-commenter hookups
SAME
We know what we like, and that is each other.
Comment award
I married a Straddler so can’t argue with that
Would read that article!
THE DROUGHT IS OVER…now on to the next drought.
Kristana, Kristana, life is not about how many comment awards you get
I definitely do not count the number of weeks between awards
Definitely not
I may or may not call my wife at work to tell her when I get a CA…
If anyone ever tries to downplay my achievements in life, I’ll simply point out that I once got 44 thumbs up on a comment on autostraddle dot com, the greatest website on the planet, which clearly means I am also great.
YOU ARE GREAT BLACMKAR
YOU’RE GREAT, TOO!
😘
Is it just me but were there significantly more articles on sex toys this past week ?
The comments were bangin’, for sure !
Have fun at camp everyone !
It has been a very sexy week
Ahhh I did not expect this one, thank you for your unflagging support for my silly puns! I cannot wait to get to A-Camp and see all of you wonderful peeps.
*extreme Kate Winslet in “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” voice*
…find me…at A-Camp…
Well earned! How often do you get the opportunity to make a pun out of Neutral Milk Hotel?
You could say I’m dairy inn to it
Listen, if you’re gonna make a cheesy pun, it butter be worth it :)
Chandra, when it comes to puns you are truly the cream of the crop. The rest of us are wholly – not just 1% or 2% – cowed by you and can only hope to skim off some of the admiration coming your way.
Aww thanks, really? I feel that last one lact something, but I guess only tan mootel
Can we steer this another direction? Or is the topic dead? (Put it on a Guernsey and wheel it out.)
OTTER GIRL IS THIS THE YEAR I FIGURE OUT WHO YOU ARE
Yesss we sat next to each other at the La Croixtails workshop last year and by the time I realized it you/I had disappeared! I have learned my lesson and will say hi and/or leave you a cubbyhole note this time around :)
Haha you did leave me a cubby hole note last year, but I didn’t know who to address a return note to 😁
Oh no, I was wondering what went wrong with that! Oof, what an almost-meet-cute. Just look for an Amira and chances are it’ll be me 😎
Thank you for that headline my brain is hilariously trying figure out how to turn one human bench pressing another human into a sex act.
…I think I just figured it out and it would require a sub that enjoys being commanded to stay still while being very distracted. >D
