Hey all! I took a break, but I’m back with an educational, sex positive vid! Hope you enjoy, be sure to check out the other sex educators and artists featured :) CW: anatomical language and sexual imagery throughout. The most explicit section of the video is between 7:30 and 8:50. Also, what have you been doing while I’ve been gone? I have been training my pets, going to yoga, making new friends, and I’m thinking of starting a D&D campaign! I’m stoked.

Hi Ash

[@Tomatry]

Fun fact! Water itself doesn’t actually conduct electricity. It’s actually everything else that’s dissolved IN water that makes it a conductor. If you were to take pure, filtered H2O, and dropped a toaster in it, you wouldn’t even experience a slight shock. (Sorry I’m a mechanic/electrician in training and I learned bunches of stuff that like flipped my whole world so I like sharing)

I would avoid products with endocrine disruptors such as parabens (E214-E219) (as mentioned in the video), but also BHAs and BHTs (preservatives E320 and E321) and Phthalates. We don't want stuff to mess with our hormones in unintended ways!

[@katrinaj.7348]

I feel you. The same thing happened to me too. I have prom this year and my parents won't let me wear a suit and I want to keep my relationship with them so I don't want to go behind their back. I can't offer you any advice, but at least I can offer some solidarity!

[@aeriscorso]

Maybe you can wear some fancy straight black pants and a white blouse, that outfit kinda looks like a suite and you can be more comfortable than wearing a dress but you don't necessarily need to confront your parents homophobia. I hope that i helped you some way and that everything turns out alright. PS: i'm not saying that you should hide who you really are but maybe this can make it easier for now

[@mmtruooao8377]

If they're really insistent that you need to go to prom, you can use that as a bargaining chip. Or tell them you'd be really uncomfortable getting a dress and you want to experiment a little bit and it'd be fun to try a suit? Idk how extreme they are though, like if you'd get in trouble for those

[@existentialstar5290]

[@sgracesful]

If worst comes to worst, wear a dress, then change when you leave the house. Obviously they'll find out after because of pictures, but it's easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission

I love Slippery Stuff!! I found out that I'm really sensitive (and maybe allergic?) to a lot of lubes that have certain types of plant cellulose in them. This mostly ruled out all of the different varieties of Sliquid for me (it was while using the pink kind that I discovered this cuz my partner and I didn't think about doing a patch test!), as well as many others. I got a few sample packets of Slippery Stuff from Good Vibrations and it's been so great and doesn't irritate me at all!! Totally recommend if you have a lot of skin sensitivity.

[@acepilot818]

My ace brain immediately thought of how water based lubes are used by EMT's to insert valves into patient's airway through the nose. Ah, the wonders of lube

[@ConstantChaos1]

I've found alcohol works to clean silicon based lubes, since silicon is hydrophobic you will need something like soap to clean with water and its low rate of reactivity it is not overly subject to capillary action meaning it will not be cleanable (hardly at all) by standard absorption (i.e. wicking, i.e. capillary action)

[@HeyThere005]
