Why Vibrating Dildos Are The Most Inclusive Sex Toy Out There: A POV By A Disabled Person

As a wellness activist and a staunch advocate for inclusivity, I firmly believe that disabled folks should be a part of conversations about intimacy and sex. It's time to break down the barriers and stigmas that have excluded disabled people from the world of sexual wellness. Sex toys as a whole are a very important tool for people with disabilities all over the spectrum, but I feel like vibrating dildos are up there as a crowning jewel. Let me explain!

Truth is, you won't be everyones "cup of tea". Don't allow that to stop you from being comfortable.

Just because society has burnt this image of what the ideal summer body should look like, doesn't mean you should allow it to control what you wear or how you want to express yourself. Wear and be who you want to be and forget about what others may think.

Summer Love (For Yourself)

Thinking about buying that magazine that will tell you how to get the perfect bikini body or land a summer romance as you wait in line at the cash register with your lemonade and sunscreen? Don't! Try reading something that will help you grow into the person you love, whoever that person is.

Do Women Hit Their Sexual Peak In Their Thirties

The media are always printing about how women reach their sexual peak in their mid thirties, but is that really true.

It's My Body... and I Finally Love Everything About It!

Media images are constantly thrown at us about how to look, how to dress, and what we should look like to be lusted after… I defy all of those media stereotypes day after day. Every day, you see newsstand articles that read “Lose 20 lbs in 20 weeks!” and articles on how to do the latest superstar workout or Hollywood diet trend. Who needs it? I sure don’t!

Pole Dancing: Not just for the club anymore!

"Pole-dancing" is a phrase that used to incite images of scantily-clad strippers swinging around a pole with wads of cash sticking out of their underwear. Maybe for some people it still does, but pole-dancing has been growing in popularity among women seeking to get in shape, be sexy, and pick up a cool new skill all at once.

Bikinis after Babies

Summer is fast approaching. Time for beaches, the sun, and swimsuits. But if you're like me, then you don't feel comfortable in a swim suit.

Teens and Sex

We all know how hard it is raising teens. This stage is where communication is so very difficult, yet so essential. Sex is certainly going to be a struggle during their teenage years, but this is the time when you are needed the most.

Separate "feeling good" from "looking good!"

I used to dread summer, and being told to uncover myself when all I wanted to do was cover up. After struggling with body image issues for years, I realized that perhaps the key to keeping your body confidence high is to realize that your body isn't the only part of you that matters. Don't let the judgment of others keep you out of the sunshine.

How to Shave Everywhere

For some, there is nothing sexier than rubbing against a lover’s smooth skin. Yet for some of us shaving can be a pain. Without the promise of some sexual favor to come, it can be hassle not worth undergoing. So how do we give our lover the smoothest skin possible and still make it worth our time and effort? That’s simple, combine the two. Here’s how...

How Yoga and Exercise Affect Your Health

It’s hard not to miss the benefits of yoga and exercise posted everywhere we look. We see ads for exercise machines that help burn fat and tone muscle. We see yoga mats and bricks used to stretch our sides, arch our backs, and reduce stress overall. But there are added benefits to both that don’t normally get enough recognition. That is what this article is about.

My Body, My Image Part 2: Changing Negative Body Image as an Adult

Pregnancy is the wildest roller coaster you'll ever experience.

So you're pregnant, and you're over run with new feelings and physical changes, but whats happened to your self confidence and sex drive? Are they hiding behind that new roll, or maybe it's on those feet you can't see.

Your "Flaws" are not Flaws

You know we've reached a very low-point once companies begin making products that make our armpits fit to wear sleeveless shirts. Our armpits? Seriously? We live in such a bizarre era. We've grown up to be ashamed of the hair on our legs, the wrinkles under our eyes, and the cellulite on our legs. We've been taught to be ashamed of our natural body. But really, is there anything actually wrong?

I Found My Sexy

I have never been overly comfortable about my body, but this summer I found something that makes me feel sexy and more confident. Even if the media tells you that you are not perfect, you can find your own perfect.

Busty Bitty : Finding the Breast Fit

There's something that I really need to get off of my chest: too many people are wearing the wrong bra size. Whether you have large breasts or not, you can still definitely benefit from wearing a bra that fits. Cramming your sweater puppies into any old piece of lingerie isn't any way for a civilized person to live, especially since there are so many resources available to help you find something flattering that fits.

Accepting The Skin I'm In

Summer is the season of baring skin, and for a girl who never tans but always burns, it's a time in which you can feel extremely self-conscious about being that "pasty girl."

Sexual Misconceptions: “The Loose Slut”

Today we are going to look at the sexual misconception of multiple partners leading to a loose vagina and long labia.

Summer helped me find myself!

Those of us who are above size average know all to well what kinda of emotions this time of year can bring to us. All of a sudden the few extra pounds we've gained over the winter, how un-tan we are and the memories of our last pedicure all come back to haunt us.

Loving My Body

If you’re unhappy with your body, there are two solutions. You can either change your body or you can change your attitude. They both have their challenges. And I’ve had some small success with both.

Sexy Starts With YOU

Summer is a time where we are bombarded with images of men with shirts and women in bikinis, and deciding to lounge around the beach or around the pool can be difficult. Here is my personal response to that pressure.

Hello Beach, Goodbye Insecurities?

After hibernating through the long winter months, Spring has finally arrived! Some of the first signs of Spring are the days growing longer, flowers and trees budding and blooming, and the gyms flooding with its members getting their 'beach bodies' ready.

OM On My Way!

A total transformation is needed, a thorough cleansing of the body and soul. Unfortunately there is no "For Dummies" way to do this, so I am setting out to find my way to health and happiness.

Life as a cam girl

If any one ever had asked me if I thought I would ever be doing anything in life having to do with the sex industry I would have thought they were absurd. I was actually once a fairly shy person, however the lure of easy money can certainly help someone to overcome that. When I started talking and caming with people for money it was just a hobby. When I received my first bank deposit and realized how much I had received in spoils from my 'hobby,' that is when the game changed.

Sending Dirty Photos

Today we discuss sending dirty photos, some tricks to it, and how to feel comfortable doing it.

My Changing Image

I have been looking into trying to change my inner views about what a body should look like. I want to be more positive and inclusive rather than sticking to the narrow guidelines that the media touts.

Maintaining a Healthy Body Weight

Today I want to look at how you maintain a healthy body weight. We will look at the psychology behind it and discuss fad diets.

Summer Bodies of All Sizes

The media bombards us with images of "the perfect body" every day; it even seems to become more rampant once the summer weather comes in. We are constantly told that "thin is beautiful," but I am here to tell you something. That something? YOU are beautiful just the way you are.

This article is for all the "big girls." Whether you're shy and withdrawn or really loud and proud of who you are, I think all girls should see themselves as beautiful. It took me a very long time to like myself, but I did learn that self-confidence can grow overnight!

Making Friends With the Ladies Downstairs

I've lived my life perpetually jealous of women who have an easy going relationship with their clit or g-spot. I always felt like I was in some kind of cold war with my body. I have decided to try to accept what my body likes instead of trying to trick it into liking what others do.

Summer Time = Sexy Time?

Summer seems to be an invitation to be sexier: we've all got an excuse to wear less clothing and suddenly it's okay (and maybe even expected) to be flashing more skin than we'd find acceptable any other time of the year. String bikinis, crop tops, short shorts, and see-through layers all become popular during the summer. The only problem is, we're not all comfortable baring that much skin, or, when we are, we realize we don't quite live up to the tanned, sexy goddesses of the media.

3 Steps to Beautiful

Keeping a positive self image is difficult in this age of beach blonde Barbies and thin as rail models, but my 3 steps to beautiful help me see that my beauty is unique to me. In living by these steps, I've learned to see myself as beautiful without comparing myself to others.

6 Realistic Ways to Increase Confidence

I think most of us have, at some point in time, lacked confidence. We've read plenty of tips to increase our confidence, but the lack didn't subside. The typical confidence tips are: get a haircut, do something wild, have your makeup done professionally, and look in the mirror and repeat "I am beautiful." Those "tips" never quite cut it for me, so I thought I'd share some things that have.

New Year, Same Me

Almost every year, I decide not to make a New Year's resolution.

Define This: Fat Admirer

Finding fat people sexually attractive is more complicated than it seems and far more than it should be. Sometimes it has to be hidden; it's not always believed and makes dating difficult. Still, it's just a preference and shouldn't risk widespread ridicule or ostracism.

New Years Resolutions ~ Sexually Speaking

My sexual resolutions for the New Year are...

Pro-Choice, but Whose Choice?

When it takes two people to make something, who gets more of a say when choosing to unmake it? Normally, the clear answer is both parties, but what if that something affects one party way more than another? Such is the dilemma of abortion. Doesn't he have a say in whether the child should live?

Everyone Is, In Fact, Sexy

Social media tries to tell us how to define what is sexy, but of course, most of us do not conform. Each and every one of us has our own preferences on who we think is sexy.

Seventeen Magazine and Body Image

Recently, Seventeen magazine posted a BMI calculator on its website. The BMI levels, when compared with the Center For Disease Control's levels, are extremely low.
