The old saying says that April showers bring May flowers. But here at Sexual + Being, the “showers” are in Masturbation May and by “showers,” we mean of the natural lubricant (or store bought lubricant — we don’t judge!) that come when someone is getting busy.

March is Women’s History Month in the US, so here at Sexual + Being we like to focus on women, assigned-female-at-birth humans, and trans women. We all know what it’s like to exist as women (or be perceived as women, even if you’re not — looking at your AFAB non-binary and trans fam) and we…

October was a little heavy, y’all, but sometimes it’s just like that. That’s the thing about being sex positive: It includes facing the less positive parts of being a sexual being head-on.
