This is phenomenal Thank you !!
No just no with anything that resembles a Penis or any type of penetration. As a survivor of childhood trauma by men I want nothing to do with it. Just my preference.
Yes, makes complete sense. Do what makes you comfortable, always. <3
I’M! SO! EXCITED! ABOUT! STRAP! WEEK!
I might be a little bit obsessed with straps but its brought me a lot of pleasure, excited for strap week!
The linked video workshop on strap-on sex is blocked as A+ content despite saying in the description that though the live workshop was for A+ subscribers, you’re now sharing the recording “for everyone to enjoy.” Is there any chance that it can be unblocked?
Hi J! The ‘everyone’ invited to enjoy the video is referring to all A+ subscribers, including those who hadn’t registered for/attended the live workshop.
Hello J! So, this video was part of our Queer Sex 101 workshop series, which had 4 videos, 3 of which were made available to the public. The whole thing was supported by A+ members, so this video (and the password to access it) remain behind the A+ paywall as bonus content for our members.
A+ starts at $4 a month or $30 a year and supports everything we do here. AND we also now have our A+ Gift Membership Pool, where A+ members have donated free memberships for people who couldn’t otherwise afford to be members. If this sounds like something you (or anyone else reading this reply) would be interested in, I encourage you to check it out! Thanks so much for reading and I hope this was helpful!!
Straps are also a leather implement. Strap-on toys and strap on harnesses are a toy used for penetration. It’s valuable to be specific when communicating with a potential partner.
Strap-on’s are often referred to as “Straps” when using AAVE in many queer Black & POC circles. BUT agreed, it is VERY valuable and important to be specific when communicating with a potential partner.
As it pertains to this instance tho’ — This series was created by A Black person, and many pieces in the series are written by Black folks. They may or may not have AAVE in them and I as the editor am happy to do the work of breaking down terms that may not be familiar to some of the audience — just drop a comment and I will help out!
Thanks for reading Mae!
