What’s Sexy Online V: Special Holiday Edition part 1

What’s Sexy Online is back to make your holidays a little bit sexier.

First up is an article that might help you with some of the familial issues you might run across this holiday season. It’s called Incest is Cancer and it argues that we should condemn incest and that the argument against incest doesn’t apply to  homosexual relationships. Here’s a quote:

Homosexuality is an orientation. Incest isn’t. If the law bans gay sex, a lesbian can’t have a sex life. But if you’re hot for your sister, and the law says you can’t sleep with her, you have billions of other options. Get out of your house, for God’s sake. You’ll find somebody to love without incinerating your family. And don’t tell me you’re just adding a second kind of love to your relationship. That’s like adding a second kind of life to your body. When a second kind of life grows in your body, we call it cancer. That’s what incest is: cancer of the family.

[Tip: Do not search for “incest” in Google Images while your family is in the room, particularly if you have safesearch off.]

Next is an anonymous article from imeveryone.com entitled  “This is a Story About What People Don’t Tell You About Anal Sex…”. You know you’re interested. If you’re short on time skip to the bottom (ha) for a one-sentence summary.

In this article from the Cleveland Open Relationships Examiner, the author discusses how sex became sin. It’s a short piece that follows changing views of sexuality from the ancient Greeks to Aquinas.

I found this article on the Yes Means Yes! blog. The author, a straight female college student, asks “…why is that my sexuality had to become this all-consuming entity linking me inextricably to my “duties to men”? Why can’t I be a sexual creature, but also a human being?”

The blog itself is a counterpart to the book Yes Means Yes!, an anthology dedicated finding a way to respect female sexuality without rape, violence, or shame. You can buy it here.

Ever wish there was somewhere you could learn about every influential sexual scene in cinema? There is. This database includes over 75 pages of entries that painstaking catalog every important nipple, thrust, and moan in movies from the 1800s to 2009. There are lots of (sadly, quite small) pictures, too.

[Tip: Look up movies here before watching them with your parents.]

Finally, here’s a color-coded pocket guide to vaginal euphemisms. Might come in handy. [Click to enlarge].

[Note: I tried very hard to make those last two sentences into a sexual pun, but failed. Maybe you can give it a try.]
