A part of me will always be shocked.
There was a version of me that never believed I was desirable enough. That I was enough for someone to want me in the way that you have all wanted me. To that I now say: well, no f*cking sh*t you would.

As we’re all made of stardust, it only makes sense that they rule our entire beings. So, let these zodiac horoscopes help you learn about yourself and align with the sex life the universe has set out for you.
It’s written in the stars: you’re going to have some galaxy-creating sex.

Discovering my sexual turn-offs made me question all that I knew. As a person who had unlimited access to the internet and read a lot of Wattpad stories, I thought I knew what I enjoyed. Like most teenagers, I thought I knew everything. Like most teenagers, I was wrong.

My favourite number is three. I don’t know why, but it always has been. Maybe it’s something to do with Greek mythology, or the phrase all good things come in threes, but it’s been my favourite and lucky number since I can remember. In saying that, I’ve never had the chance to have a threesome.

If there’s one thing I’m going to eat up every time, it’s two girls kissing.

The Soft Power of Surrender

Words by: Sue G

The only moment I truly let my man take control is in bed.
And honestly, that’s what makes our connection so beautiful.
So deeply felt.

Must my parts define me? Quit looking at me like that.

In the middle of a talk with my cisgender friend, they told me one of their growing anxieties — that the way they looked would ward off potential suitors. The grip traditional gender roles have on people’s perception of others is so deep-rooted, like claws stabbing through a skull, that something I’m usually crashing out over is a concern for cisgender people, too. How do you move past the gender or sexuality that you’re categorised as at first glance, and form intimate relationships with people who aren’t fixated on your long hair or personal style?

I couldn’t help but wonder, as I went to set up my Hinge profile for what felt like the 30th time in the past month, if I really wanted to dive back into this scene?

His profile popped up on Sniffies, an app for finding nearby hookup and cruising spots for the gays. He had pinned a cruising spot near the National Gallery of Victoria. No chat, no banter. I just said hi. He replied with “Gloryhole now? Anon suck.”

I have a weak bladder. So when I need to go, I NEED to go. I guess you could say the same thing about my sex drive. While I’m not that much of an affectionate person, I am a horny one. So, when I NEED to have sex, I just gotta do it. In saying that, I’ve done the deed in some pretty public places.
