1. DEMAND condom use
2. Hold your partners accountable for what happens in the bedroom. None of this “baby I can’t control myself around you” or “I just wanted you so bad” bullshit.
3. Coercion is real and it’s very scary and hard to identify in the moment. Establish a dialogue with your partner. Be clear on what you both want. Be clear on what you don’t want. Your boundaries should ALWAYS be respected.
4. Sex can be really emotionally and physically over-stimulating the first few times; don’t be afraid or ashamed to ask your partner to slow down, take a break, or even stop.
5. Focus less on pleasing your partner and more on exploring your partner. Everyone’s body is different and there are no “tricks” to better sex. Chances are, if you psych yourself out worrying over how well you’re “performing” then nobody’s going to have a good time.
6. Ask questions, offer suggestions. Despite what porn has probably taught you, talking during sex isn’t weird or taboo. Your partner isn’t a mind reader. They don’t know what feels good to you. [Pro-tip, a looot of people without clitorises aren’t fully aware of just HOW sensitive a clitoris is. They can be a little rough with them. Tell them to chill!!!!]
7. Your sex life is YOUR business. Don’t ever feel ashamed of how many or how few sexual partners/experiences you’re having. Do what you want, touch the people who want to touch you back, forget the rest.
8. DON’T FAKE YOUR ORGASMS!! Don’t fake your orgasms!! DON’TFAKEYOURORGAMS!! If your partner isn’t getting you there, let them know! Tell them how!!
9. There is more to sex than orgasms. Sex is a really cool way to establish intimacy and trust, to have a fun time, to relieve stress, to explore a person’s body and bring them pleasure. Don’t get me wrong, orgasms are really cool and good, but your sex life is going to be a lot better if it doesn’t revolve around them.
10. LEARN ABOUT YOUR BODY!! This goes for everyone, but ESPECIALLY if you are a person in possession of a vulva, you have been discouraged and even actively kept from vital knowledge about your anatomy! Do some google searches, buy a human sexuality textbook, masturbate.
11. Virginity is a useless concept. It’s completely okay if your virginity is something important to you and I’m not trying to belittle that idea. Just, for the record, in the grand scheme of things it’s not a big deal. Literally nothing about you changes just because you bumped uglies with someone else.

This has been a public service announcement from your friendly internet poet.

Talking about sex when not being sexy is the best first step to having sex. Don’t talk about it to turn on your partner, just discuss it casual. Talk about your thoughts and feelings, what you think you want, what scares you, what interests you, etc. Like anything you can think of. It makes the act easier and can help you establish boundaries before the act starts. Try doing it on a phone or over text so you know sex won’t start. Sometimes the distance helps you be honest.

i like how positive this post is and how it isn’t gender specific ❤ ❤ ❤

Some solid stuff here!

Also: no matter what genitals you have or what you’re doing, a little lube can go a LONG way and even be the difference between if sex will even happen or not. It’s nothing to feel embarrassed about asking for, and even if you’re not sure you’d need it, it might make the experience more enjoyable faster than it would without.

And don’t neglect to clean up afterward!! This is really important, too.

And if you can you should always pee after sex because it flushes bacteria out of your urethra and lessens the chance of developing a UTI

Very Slouchy Soundwave anon, here to give you the first bit again, since tumblr ate it: Soundwave has the same basic proportions as everyone else, he’s just Very Slouchy, so his arms look really long. Megatron’s the only one who knows because way back like 2 weeks after they met he asked ‘why don’t you stand up straight, you are a Proud Warrior!’ & turned to get their lunch, then something taps the top of his head so he turns & looks WAY UP at Soundwave & goes ‘nevermind plz dont do that again’

Perfect.

Found what appeared to be a dead gnat in my water glass. Fished it out in order to not drink it.

10 minutes later it dried off, arranged itself properly, and turned out to actually be the tiniest moth I’ve ever seen. It’s actually smaller than a gnat! And it has a brain! And markings on its tiny wings!

Arthropods are wild.

Very Slouchy Soundwave anon here again, Partly to apologize for sending you yet more headcanons, so um… sorry? Also, to continue the previous hc, which is that ‘Soundwave, but Too Tall’ is essentially a cryptid for vehicons, like one turns around and there he is at the end of a hall, just being way too long, but when they look again theres just nothing??? also also, in video games crouching makes you sneaky, Soundwave is made of sneaky. proof? I think so.

I didn’t see the first part of this, but I love it.

I felt like I needed to clarify some things before we could continue any more conversations on this godforsaken website.

I’m very proud of the European Robin, I think I really captured it.

ALSO A DADDY LONG LEGS is different in the UK vs USA. I learned that by arguing with some Brits because they said there was a daddy long legs on the wall, i looked and only saw an insect, argued with them all for 45 minutes until we all looked it up and saw that we were both correct.

British badger:  jovial fellow, eats toast and jam.  Might invite you in for a cuppa with the Mrs.  Agricultural nuisance.

American badger: pallas cat of a wolverine.  Very defensive.  Fuck immediately off.

Bonus African badger:  Silverback gorilla of mustelids.  Should be a cryptid.  Bro, don’t even.  You are nothing to him.

an extremely good post addition
