- Meet The Girl Who’s Changing The Condom Industry (Teen Vogue)
Something about a woman carrying around condoms makes our society so uncomfortable that we’d rather make her feel ashamed than start a conversation about sexual health. The idea that condoms are just for men implies that sex is off-limits for women and that only men are allowed to control protection.
It doesn’t help that condoms are heavily marketed towards men, which is pretty awkward considering 40% of condoms are actually purchased by women. One woman in particular, entrepreneur Meika Hollender, is using this as an opportunity to arm women with chic sexual health products. Forget diamonds, condoms are a girl’s best friend.
Personally, I’ve always been the one to buy the condoms and to make sure we always had some on hand. I think it has to do with being on the ball when it came to not getting pregnant. An unwanted pregnancy is shitty for both partners, but especially so for the one that has to carry the damn thing to term or, you know, not. The choice to use condoms is even easier to make now that sustainable options are available.
I am an artist and make watercolor and oil paintings. Regrettably I do have a degree in Fine Arts. I always had terrible professors for art history, and preferred to make things instead of learn about them. I do enjoy the history part of art history, but I don’t like interpreting it to death — I don’t like to think about it too much. For me it’s, “Oh, I like this painting!” or “Nope. Don’t like that one.” If more people took this simple attitude to art, they’d find it more approachable!
Art has always been a part of my life. The Magic Wand has always been a part of my wife’s life. So, you see, this combines all my favorite things.
The Hitachi Wand through history. Enough said. Things like these really make me want to learn how to use Photoshop like a pro.
- Here’s The First Apple Watch Sex Toy (The Huffington Post)
Your smartphone can do everything. It can connect you with your friends, tell you how to get somewhere, entertain you and … really entertain you.
Sex toy manufacturer Lovense has a new remote control vibrator called Blush, which connects to your phone and your partner’s phone to create some high-tech sexual experiences. Blush launched an Indiegogo campaign this week to raise $10,000 for its phone and Apple Watch-connected vibrator.
Seriously, this is the first thing I’ve seen that had made me want to actually get an Apple Watch. Too bad I hate wearing watches. I love vibrators, though, so it’s a tough call.
