This is where we share stuff we can’t share on Facebook page for fear of being kicked out! Read why here. Usually the posts are about body image, sometimes there’s nudity but we’re all adults here. Right?
By the way, Facebook recently clarified its stance on nudity, writing, “We remove photographs of people displaying genitals or focusing in on fully exposed buttocks. We also restrict some images of female breasts if they include the nipple, but we always allow photos of women actively engaged in breastfeeding or showing breasts with post-mastectomy scarring. We also allow photographs of paintings, sculptures and other art that depicts nude figures.” For the full story see here.
Oh, so scary. Nipples!

27 Alternatives To Asking “Is This Okay?”
When it comes to sexytimes, we all want to know if what we’re doing in bed is working for our partner. Unfortunately, knowing what or how to ask doesn’t always come as second nature. You fumble, try to read clues and more often than not, “Is this okay?” tumbles out of your mouth.
Last week I wrote about why “Okay” is a four-letter word and encouraged you to break the habit of asking about it. To do so, you need different, more precise questions to ask, ones that actually get at the thing you want to know.
Pair a good question with a sexy voice and some genuine curiosity, and some serious magic will happen.
Next time you and your sweetie are about to get down, try these instead…

Why Fat Shaming & Thin Shaming Are Inherently Different
It’s 2015 and almost everybody has heard of the body positivity movement — and almost everybody has an opinion on it. In my experience, most of those opinions consist of positive, insightful thoughts on the harms of body shaming and the pluses of self love. Unfortunately, some people still have anti-body positive mindsets and anti-body pos movements still exist. Even if someone doesn’t agree with the cause, though, at least they’re talking about it. At least body positivity is finally up for discussion. What hasn’t been quite as up for discussion, however, is the analysis of thin shaming versus fat shaming.
Body shaming affects everyone and can be tied to almost any aspect of our appearances — from weight to hair color to body mods to the size of your nose. If someone has critiqued your body for how it looks at any point in your life, then you, my friend, have also been a victim of body shaming. This type of bullying is arguably harmful because it perpetuates the notion that somebody’s self worth should be based on their appearance.
