Q: Im a 35-year-old woman. I recently discovered Im a size queen. (Is it OK for me to use this term?) This has been brewing for a while as I have dabbled with purchasing larger and larger cucumbers and fucking myself with them after a good wash. I use a condom and tons of lube and its been amazing. Are there any safety or health concerns I should be aware of? Im moving away from fucking produce and purchased my first sizeable toy. I see safety tips online for men who like large toys in their butts but I wanted to know if there is anything I should be aware of as a vagina-haver. I mainly partner with men but am expanding to date women and Ive been fisted only once by a woman and absolutely loved it. Finding I Lately Love Enormous Dildos
A: So long as youre taking it slow, FILLED, so long as youre using lots of lube, so long as youre playing with toys that have flared bases and were designed for insertion play, and so long as those toys are made of body-safe materials like silicone, then youre doing everything right. And yes, FILLED, you may use the term size queen to describe yourself!
Q: Im a longtime fan of your column and your podcast. Recently a discussion came up on Facebook and I was curious as to what your take on the situation was. It was about diaper play: A group of people seem to think that enjoying this kink is the same thing as being a pedophile or engaging in pedo-lite behavior. Another groupmyself includedbelieves that it is simply an expression of a kink between two consenting adults, and therefore isnt the same as pedophilia at all. I was curious as to what your take on the situation was, or if you had any suggestions on how to approach this topic with the first group? Thank you, wishing you all the best! Wandering Ethical Terrain Of Nappies Employed Sexually
A: Does fucking someone whos wearing a dog collar count as bestiality? Of course not, WETONES, because dog collars no more turn consenting adults into dogs than diapers turn consenting adults into infants. And the disapproval of strangers on the Internet not only wont stop an adult who wants to wear diapers from wearing diapers, WETONES, that disapproval makes wearing diapers all the more arousing because the transgression and wrongness of wearing diapers makes wearing diapers arousingnot for everyone, of course, but for most people who are into wearing diapers. Which means your disapproving friends are playing right into the pervy hands/crinkly rubber shorts of all the diaper lovers out there. And while its true that some people who are into age play are also into diapers, WETONES, its not true that everyone into diapers is into age play. For most people who get off on diapers its the humiliation of being a diapered adult that turns them on, not the fantasy of being a child.
Q: My husband and I recently watched the fantastic 70s porn Alice in Wonderland: An X-rated Musical Fantasy (we got to it by watching Meatballs). It was everything Ive ever wanted in a porn. Perhaps you or your readers could recommend something similar to put in our rotation? Likes To Watch
A: Check out Caligula. This intermittently pornographic 1979 film probably isnt as lighthearted as the version Alice in Wonderland you stumbled over, LTW, but it doubtless has a much more interesting backstory and far bigger stars. A young and sexy Malcolm McDowell as the mad Roman emperor with Peter OToole (!), John Gielgud (!!), and Helen Mirren (!!!) in supporting roles. Even better, this amazing train wreck of a movie is based on a screenplay by Gore Vidal. (Got a 70s porn recommendation for LTW? Share it in the comment thread!)
Q: Heres a quickie: If a woman is attracted to cis men and non-binary humans (who can have either a penis or vagina) but that woman is not attracted to cis women would that woman be bi or pan? Labels are not super important to me, Dan, but Im calling on my friendly neighborhood sex advice columnist for help just the same! Loves All Bodies Except Ladies
A: While bisexual was once commonly understood to mean, attracted to both sexes, the Human Rights Campaigns online glossary now defines bisexual as, emotionally, romantically or sexually attracted to more than one sex, gender or gender identity. That same online glossary defines pansexual as, the potential for emotional, romantic or sexual attraction to people of any gender. While on the first read there doesnt seem to be much daylight between those two definitions, LABEL, there actually is some difference between being attracted to more than one [gender] and being attracted to people of any gender. And while a lot of people use bi and pan pretty much interchangeably these days, the bi label is probably a slightly better fit for you, LABEL, seeing as your libido disqualifies all members of one genderyour ownfrom emotional, romantic or sexual consideration.
