By Rachel R. White

Check out an article I wrote for Sexis Magazine about the sexual phenomenon of golden showers.

By Rachel R. White

Annabelle River recently wrote a blog post, defending my favorite holiday, Dress-Like-A-Whore-Day– or Halloween. And I am right there with her. Hating on the spray-tanned “slutty” Disney Princesses, Playboy Bunnies and naughty nurses has become Internet feminist protocol, and I’m yawning.

photo cred It has been said before but the Internet is changing us. And it has already forever changed our sex lives. We can now anonymously (or non-anonymously) engage in whatever kink, chat, turn-on or hook-up is imaginable. We can talk openly in many spaces about our sexual curiosities, fears and beliefs.

Yesterday, I made the switch to a re-usable menstrual cup. Until this week, I was still stuck in the view I had when I was 18 and first read about menstrual cups: a resounding, “Ewwwwwwwwww!” The idea of being closer to my cycle and body in this way began to intrigue me recently, rather than [...]
