Beyond Hetero, Homo, and Bi: Alternative Sexual and Romantic Orientations

holdinghandsMiley Cyrus made the news recently when she came out as pansexual—and in doing that, educated a whole lot of people about what that term even means. Pansexual is one of several sexual and romantic orientations out there that a person can identify as, beyond the commonly accepted ones like heterosexual, homosexual, and bisexual. So here are 6 different terms related to sexual and romantic identities that you should know.

  1. Asexual
    An asexual is “someone who does not experience sexual attraction.” Asexuality.org adds that while asexuals may find others attractive, and may even want to be affectionate, they are just not interested in having sex.
  2. Graysexual
    The Frisky defines it as “something more fluid between sexuality and asexuality.”
  3. Demisexual
    Someone who identifies as demisexual doesn’t typically feel sexual attraction unless they “have already formed a strong emotional bond with the person.”
  4. Pansexual
    Pansexual refers to those “who feel they are sexually/emotionally/spiritually capable of falling in love with all genders.”
  5. Skoliosexual
    Genderqueerid.com explains that these folks experience “sexual attraction to non-binary identified individuals” or those who do not identify as cisgender.
  6. Zucchini
    This is the name for a partner who is engaged in a “queerplatonic” relationship, which means a queer, non-romantic but more-than-a-friend relationship.

Models Strut the Runway With Cartoon Cocks

379713604_55bdd97d3d_zAttendees of New York City Fashion Week got quite a surprise at Namilia’s cheeky runway show filled with cocks and pussies! The show was titled “My Pussy, My Choice,” and drew its inspiration from contemporary female pop stars who seek empowerment through expressing their sexuality and celebrating their bodies. “Each outfit is named for one of Namilia’s inspirations (e.g. ‘daddy’s girl Lana,’ ‘sweet Ariana,’ ‘crazy Miley,’ ‘Nicki anaconda’),” according to Slate.

Their playful collection includes banana and peach emojis, giant inflatable snakes, and sparkly cartoonish penises in sexy, transparent latex. “It’s like playing the penis game,” Namilia said of their cheeky use of the phallus. “The more often and louder you say it, the more harmless it becomes.” Shockingly, the garments are ready-to-wear, so a woman can conveniently slip on some hyper-sexualized female empowerment to go with any of her tennis shoes! We mean, who doesn’t love an adorable cock purse with matching cock bra?!

Feel like having some sexy and empowering experiences yourself? We are all about finding expression through celebrating sexuality here!

Why Women and Men Love Feminist Porn

best_phone_sex_niteflirt_announcement2Explicit erotic film director Jennifer Lyon Bell recently sat down with BuzzFeed to discuss feminist porn and why many women and quite a few men prefer it over regular porn. Bell prefers the term “explicit erotic film” over feminist porn because she says the latter can sometimes be misconstrued as not hardcore. She explains, “People think that women don’t want to see explicit material and that couldn’t be less true. I think plenty of women, myself included, love seeing hot, explicit sex.” So here are some reasons why we should all be watching more feminist porn.

  1. Women’s porn offers more diversity, and is just as explicit
    Bell says, “A popular misconception with porn is that all women want the same thing. Women are really diverse and what appeals to me might not appeal to you, and I think that’s great. Women’s porn should be really diverse because women are really diverse.”
  2. Seeing people genuinely enjoying sex is seriously hot
    Women definitely want to see real, hot sex when they watch porn—and a lot of men do too. The sex seems more participatory between the two people, which makes it seem more fun, free, and authentic.
  3. Feminist porn is less commercial, and more creative
    Bell argues that because porn distributors need to make money, they are more reluctant to explore alternative types of porn that they fear may not be as marketable. This is why alternative porn producers like Bell make movies: “Sexuality – women’s, men’s, and everybody’ s sexuality – is really diverse in a way that we are only just now starting to explore further with alternative pornography.”
  4. The sex looks, sounds, and feels more real
    Bell says, “That’s the part of sex that I find most exciting – this cycle between two people of seeing what the other person is going through and responding to it.”
  5. The adult entertainers are more diverse
    The hottest sex you see in porn is from those people who are simply comfortable with their bodies and their sexuality, no matter their body type, sexual preference, etc.
  6. Women openly enjoying and exploring sex is a powerful, revolutionary act
    It ain’t called feminist porn for nothing! These women are empowered, sex-positive, and all about sexual liberation.

All that talk about real, hot sex definitely got us in the mood. Come celebrate sexual liberation with us!
