The Lust Weekly Roundup: US States Are Passing Bills to Block Porn

This is the weekly Lust news roundup: catch up on the week’s sex-tech, sex-politics, feminism, and industry news here every week.

This Clothing Line Takes the Stigma Out of Sex Work — “Rooted in the creativity and entrepreneurial spirit that already made Michaels a successful self-made creator prior to quarantine's OnlyFans boom, the irony-laden line flips the script by touting itself as "clothing made for removal" within an "industry that rarely wears clothes," all while cleverly tackling concepts surrounding the inherent worth of sex workers as people, their ingenious ability to cultivate an online fanbase and their utilization of physical capital.” [Paper Mag]

The Porn Crisis That Isn’t — Some US states are claiming porn to be a health threat and are introducing bills that would block access to pornography. “Many researchers and adult-entertainment workers support measures that would reduce kids’ access to porn, ensure that porn videos portray only consenting adults, and mandate fair wages for sex workers. Calling adults’ legal use of pornography a “public-health crisis” doesn’t do any of that.” [The Atlantic]

Cunning Cunnilingus

Our story is not a story but is intended to enrich women's orgasms. We have been a happily married couple for 20 years. The word blowjob has been misunderstood. Have you ever tried to "blow" the woman's clitoris? We have, and my wife is delighted. The man wets his lips, put them on the clitoris and blows so that his lips start to vibrate - like blowing into the mouthpiece of a trumpet. The noise sounds strange, but the effect is fantastic :-)! 1 orgasm in 1 minute. 3 in 5 and (record) 9 in 15 minutes. After that you are really out of breath ;-)! We wish you a lot of fun trying it out, my wife loves it…
