NSFW Sex Ed Link
This is an odd one for the blog, but a Tumblr link the other day led me to a webcomic by Erika Moen called Oh Joy Sex Toy.
As you can probably guess, this is not a blog you probably want to be reading at work. It’s primarily a review blog focusing on sex toys, but Moen has also done some comics that are more purely educational.
The one I wanted to spotlight was her webcomic about how conception/pregnancy really works. This one comic was, in many ways, more informative than the entirety of the sex ed information I got in school. Given the state of sex ed here in the U.S., I figured it was worth sharing.
If you’re interested, she has all of her educational strips indexed on one page, covering everything from how emergency contraception works to “the terrible art of boner-hiding.”
Again, not safe for work, but she has a wonderfully open, honest, and welcoming style.
And while you’re reading (or not, if you prefer), I’m gonna get back to the writing. 8500 words and counting! 🙂

May I just second the recommendation? I love reading Oh Joy Sex Toy not just for the reviews themselves, but also for the way Ms Moen writes. Her style is very positive – it’s clear she enjoys the subject, and she writes about it in a way which is very non-shaming. Plus, there’s a wide variety of body-types, gender-models and appearances portrayed in the comic – it isn’t all pretty white-girl and white-boy Barbie and Ken clones. This point really helps when you’re not part of the normative demographic body-wise, so to speak (if, for example, you’re not thin, not white, not cissexual, etc).
