Some people have a fascination with tales of strange items stuck inside a person’s rectum, neces- sitating an embarrassing trip to the emergency room. /e medical literature is sprinkled with descriptions of these odd cases going back to the 1930s, and the techniques used to remove the o1ending object—including such items as a soda bottle, 2ashlight, baseball, and even a light bulb (ouch!). /ere seem to be far fewer such cases in the current literature. Let’s hope this is because anal play has become less hidden and taboo, and some basic information has seeped into public consciousness. You can eliminate even the slight possibility of such an occurrence by exclu- sively using sex toys with a base for rectal insertion, which is what I strongly recommend. Most dildos have such a base (or balls), but the fact that they’re widest at the tip makes them far from ideal for rectal exploration. “Butt plugs” are speci.cally designed for this purpose. /ey generally look like this: Figure 6.

  • BDSM: Safer Kinky
    BDSM SAFER KINKY SEX If sexually explicit information about BDSM activities might offend you, then this information is not for you. 1 BDSM Etiquette BDSM etiquette is about respect and communication: RESPECT: Negotiate all the limits and terms (including ‘safe’ words and signals) of a scene before you start to play. A ‘safe’ word (or signal) is used in BDSM play to stop the scene immediately. Some people use green, yellow, and red. These systems are there to protect everyone involved. Respect the limits and feelings of other players (and your own) at all times. COMMUNICATION: Discuss interests, pleasures, perceived needs, physical limitations, past experiences, health needs, and STI status with your partner(s). If you are unsure of a sexual or BDSM activity, then hold off until someone experienced teaches you the safety aspects. Discussion builds intimacy. You and your partner(s) will have more fun! BDSM Risk Reduction Responsible BDSM has always been about practicing safety, so it’s important to understand the risks involved in BDSM play, and how to minimize them. BDSM activities have generally been classed as low risk for HIV transmission. This booklet contains practical guidelines and This means that only a small number of people advice on the prevention of Human Immuno- are likely to have contracted HIV, or passed on deficiency Virus (HIV), Hepatitis C (HCV), and HIV, while practising BDSM.

  • Keeping It Safe- a Sexual and Reproductive Health Guide for Same-Sex-Attracted Women
    Keeping It Safe- A sexual and reproductive health guide for same-sex-attracted women ConsentSafer Sex Let’s talk about sex… familyplanning.org.nz Penetration Keeping It Safe- This resource is for women who have sex with women; occasionally, regularly or are just thinking about it. The focus is on cis-women (women who were born with female reproductive systems and genitals), although transmen (or cis-women who have sex with transmen) may also find parts of this resource useful. It aims to provide information to women who have sex with other women, regardless of their sexual identity (e.g. lesbian, queer, bisexual, gay, straight, butch, femme, dyke, or no expressed identity) or how that may change over time. It aims to help us make informed choices about our sexual practices whoever they may be with. It also aims to enable us to be assertive in dealing with health professionals. We acknowledge that same-sex attracted women have a wide range of different sexual experiences and desires. We have based this resource on the premise that the risks of sexually transmissible infections relate to behaviours not sexual orientation or sexual identity. 2 Keeping It Safe Let’s talk about sex… Let’s talk about sex… Communicating about sex is important, whether you are in a long–term monogamous relationship, specialise in a series of one night stands, or are somewhere and anywhere in between. Talking about sex can be embarrassing for many women, but it’s essential in checking out what is safe and comfortable, physically and emotionally. Negotiating our sexual practices can be both empowering and downright sexy.

  • Exploring Gender Subversion and Recuperation in Anal Fisting Among Gay Men
    Exploring gender subversion and recuperation in anal fisting among gay men Jarred H Martin Department of Psychology, University of Pretoria, South Africa Corresponding author: Jarred H Martin, Department of Psychology, University of Pretoria, Lynnwood Road, Hatfield, Pretoria 0028, South Africa. Email: [email protected] Abstract Anal fisting among gay men, that is, the sexual(ised) and erotic (single or partnered) practice of inserting the hand(s) and/or forearm(s) into the anus and rectum, has historically been framed in medical and medico-forensic case studies as a violent and dangerous sexual practice associated with the contraction of disease, heightened risk of sexual injury, and the possibility of death. In contrast to this, pro-Queer scholars of gender and sexuality have conceptually reframed the act of anal fisting among gay men as a subversive sexual practice which in its discursive and material performances radically transgresses the heteronormative tropes which typically underwrite human sex/uality, especially in ways that render the preferred representations of (gay) sex as ‘vanilla’. By drawing from unstructured individual interviews with a sample of eight (self-identifying) South African gay men who regularly incorporate anal fisting into their sexual relations, this study explores the gendered contradictions which rhetorically circumscribe how these men discursively construct and experience the corpo-erotic practice of anal fisting. In doing so, the findings highlight that while anal fisting among gay men may in fact engender shades of a sexually subversive practice by the way it radically (re)makes the material and erotic possibilities and connections of gay men’s bodies in exceptionally non-normative and perhaps Queer ways; it is, at the same time, also invested with, and reiterative of, discursive repertoires which actively recuperate heteronormative as well as heteromasculinist tropes and gendered power relations that, in some instances, appear femiphobic.
