i watched their program in real time and CRIED. also yelled “holy shit!” like 5 times. it was truly an incredible, moving, sexy as hell, intricate skate. i’ve now watched it about 7 times.

have you seen the short “Roxanne” documentary they did? so awesome. i’m also obsessed with that little wiggle she does when the…

It’s supposed to be their last Olympics, which means that they’re retiring or going pro or coaching or whatever it is you do, after you hang up your Olympic aspirations. Maybe once the pressure to perform as a pair on the ice is no longer a factor, they’ll realize how much they love each other and are meant to be…

I discovered these two on Saturday and I’m obsessed. I’ve been down the youtube rabbit hole and can’t decide if I love the raunchy or delicate routines more.

Everyone *is* problematic, but I always side eye people who use the crimes of dead artists as a reason they should have no problem consuming the art by living people who are abusing people. At least in my eyes, there’s a sharp difference between spending money on work that an artist can’t profit from and heaping…

It’s part of the “I’m thankful for” part.

The first thing I thought when her post came to light was “Ugh, homophobia again in the black community”.

My second thought was “Mmmm Rain? I am pretty sure you sold your daddy’s sex stories in your own book.”

Here’s a pretty good work-safe comparison of 50 Shades with Secretary, which I recommend: https://www.ohjoysextoy.com/secretaryand50shades/

That’s awesome. It’s funny about Danielle Steele, I don’t disdain romance novels or anything, I enjoyed Judith Krantz, etc., but I could never, ever understand why Danielle Steele was so huge. There was barely any dialogue, as I remember, and the stories kind of just rushed along from one thing to another.

Oh YEAH. Eighth grade. Changed my life.

I miss these crazy ass books. There was a period in the seventies and eighties, after porn went mainstream but before the internet, when the written word was just doing blow and banging hookers all over the pages.

A librarian gave me the clan of the cave bear series. But my military hard ass grandpa had a heart attack and had to slow down and started reading a lot. He noticed I liked reading so he brought me a bunch of Danielle Steele books from garage sales and goodwill when he finished them when I was like 12. “There’s a lot…

Aww, poor mom. After my grandfather died a widower, one of my relatives found some very sweet mild book like “women’s sexual fantasies” near his bed.

Ok, I am inspired to make a MAJOR sex-positive, youth-friendly recommendation based on this prompt: When I was a tween in the 90's, I discovered the graphic novel ElfQuest. ElfQuest is a fantasy epic with profound themes and compelling storytelling that was a bit marginalized due to its ‘feminine’ aesthetic. The…

I’m a traditionally published young adult author, and Jezebel’s coverage of YA novels is always so disappointing. YA novels are written primarily by women, for women, yet no one here seems to understand what the category actually is. Harry Potter is MIDDLE GRADE, not Young Adult. There can’t be any sex in middle grade…

I wasn’t a teen yet, but I found my mom’s secret stash of naughty books hidden under the sink inside a cardboard box that used to hold sponges (cleaning sponges, I mean). I don’t know HOW I found them, since god knows I didn’t clean, but I did and they were quite an experience! They were Nancy Friday’s books of sexual…

I came across this at a thrift store the other day and instantly thought, “page 201.”

Valley of the Horses, full stop. Opened up a whole new vista of cave-(wo)man sexytimes. Also Jondalar has a giant dick, apparently, and invented cunnilingus.

I’m 52. As a young teen I don’t recall any books that involved sex, unless we’re talking the pulpy bodice-rippers I swiped from my mom’s bedside table.

What books made me horny as a teen? All of them. Everything else, even distilled water, made me horny too. Or, maybe just being a teen was what made me horny. It could have been that too.

My mom bought me some of the Sue Grafton “A is for Alibi” series when I was 12 or so, and wow! It sure did get me going... I remember telling her later how sexual the books were and she was so embarassed, haha.
