I don’t know what I was thinking starting this newsletter during a pandemic. I’m doing nothing besides working. I have no crazy sexcapades. No exciting dating stories. But fear not. The moment Ms. Rona is “over” — whatever the fuck that means — I will have sex with everyone. Not a soul will be spared. I will live up to the Boyslut name. I’ll have to start writing this newsletter from the clinic waiting room because my dick will constantly be leaking.
With that visual imagery in your head, let’s talk about glory holes.
Following in the footprints of the NYC Department of Health, the Canadian CDC (BCCDC) recommended the use of glory holes to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Unless you’re a truckstop driver, I have no idea where the hell you’re finding glory holes on the reg, but far be it from me to discourage you trying. Following the BCCDC news, I spoke to a couple of prominent sexual health researchers to find out how safe it is to use a glory hole. Turns out… meh, not really.
Hopefully, the imagery of my leaky dick hasn’t left your mind, ‘cause next we’re moving onto barebacking, which is how I plan to acquire the aforementioned LD.
I did a deep dive into the history of the term and actually learned quite a few things about it. The phrase — and actually having bareback sex — is now considered hot, rough, daddy, woof, but during the 90s, when the term was popularized, the term was shrouded in shame and stigma. Of course, this is due to the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Anywho, don’t want to spoil all of it, so go ahead and read.
For “Sexplain It” this week, I answered a question from a man who really wants his wife to orgasm, but she doesn’t want to try. In fact, she’s never tried masturbating. I found the question interesting because you can’t push someone to do something that they don’t want to do, especially sexually. But if she has some innate sex-negativity, he does want to help. So, is it appropriate to kindly suggest (as opposed to push)? At one point do you stop trying?
(FYI, this “Sexplain It” is for MVPs this week. I don’t think this will continue; I’m pretty sure the team is simply experimenting with putting some behind a paywall. Sorry in advance! However, you can pay 2 bucks a month for unlimited access or 20 bucks a year, so I don’t feel that bad.)
That’s it for this week. I need to head back and work on these book proposal edits so Boyslut grows from a newsletter to an actual book! Oh, but if you live in Brooklyn, I really need my neck shaved and for someone to scrub my back where my mole got removed. Trying to avoid leakage there, too.
Your Fav (Disgusting) Bicon,
Zach
