Out From Under

Yes, you can! No, you can’t. Yes, yes you can!
Yes, I know the election is over. This time we’re talking vibrators. (Again.)
Sex toys are legal in Texas!! Of course, they have been for months, as you know. But only last month, women in Texas were complaining that they couldn’t purchase a Vibrating Touch fingertip “massager” [...]

You know how I was raving about the We-Vibe only last week? How it was just about the best sex toy I’ve ever seen?
I still love it. I still love its design, its quiet hum, its clever carrying case. I love that it can be used so easily during partner sex. I love, love, love [...]

- they wouldn’t necessarily look like penises.
- or rabbits
- or dolphins
- or butterflies
- or men with funny hats.
- They wouldn’t necessarily be penis-sized.
- They wouldn’t be made of a material that needs a condom
- because otherwise it collects lint and gawdknowswhatelse,
- or coated with colouring that chips off. We don’t want metallic pink flakes in [...]

We’re all for creative sensuality here at Out from Under. No reason a girl should limit her play to the obvious. We’ve discussed the erotic potential of vegetables , some battery-operated faves, sing-along vibes, and even the classy Delft variety .
However, creative thinker though I am, it had honestly never occurred to me to look [...]

Why do so many women fake orgasm?
Most of us have faked it, at least once. (At least, straight women have. I’m kind of working on the assumption that lesbians don’t, or with way reduced frequency… but if I’m wrong, feel free to correct me!) Once and a while, you’ll have your reasons, and no harm [...]

You’re a strong, independent woman, right? Able to tackle whatever comes your way, ready for the challenges of life.
That’s why YOU need one of THESE:

Yes! Half a stuffed shirt! Well, really, half a man’s pajama top! With an upside-down hand attached!
If that creeps you out, how’s about this:

There. Isn’t that better? See how the little [...]

They are really comfy with their sexuality in The Netherlands, aren’t they? The relaxed sex laws, gay marriage as of 2001, their famed Red Light Districts, their excellent and open education of their young people, their concern for the health and safety of their sex workers.
Their souvenir dildos.

Aren’t they pretty?
Ceramic, with a cork base, and [...]

You’ve got to hand it to those boys (and girls) in the Apple empire, they are a think-outside-the-box lot. Nothing that they can’t tackle. No realm of human experience they don’t feel they can’t enrich with their deft and creative touch. In the words of neighbourhood teens, “Apple makes everything cool” — computers and laptops [...]

I had a group of teens in my home a while back for a birthday party. One girl, who’s in a theatre troup that gives sex and sexuality presentations in junior and senior high schools, was telling the group how a certain principal had not allowed them to present part of their show. “It was [...]

Vibrators are IN. Every savvy, independent modern woman has one or several, and sees no reason to hide that fact. Which is a good thing.
