Alexandra Sophie < JARDIN FLEURI >

This beautiful and inspiring series ‘Jardin Fleuris’ by self-taught 23 year old French photographer Alexandra Sophie explores the different stages of a woman’s sexual, maternal and reproductive life cycle. Her stimulating and symbolic work depicts various women’s nether regions, covered by delicate objects like grass, shells, flowers, hay, soil, saplings, feathers and even a cluster of red berries dripping with juice.

"This series is all about harmony with our bodies and majestic nature; the natural miracle of life, age and time. I feel blessed to be a woman and wanted to represent how I personally felt when a seed grew in my body. It's an homage to women and nature."

I'm A POWERMUFF Girl

My bush is a full, Amazonian chaparral. It is a coppice of mystery and wonder.

My pubis lies untouched by wax and razor and only the fairest may enter my dingly-dell.

I, ladies and gentlemen, do not shave my pubes. What’s more, I wholeheartedly and thoroughly recommend it. Certainly, the occasional trim might be in order, but is there really a need to go ripping out your whole hinterland? Not in my experience.

Many moons ago, I did try. I went through six months of waxing and completely clearing my under-thicket. No strips, no Brazilians, just go bare or go home. Bear in mind that, as a sex-worker, I would have had several more tourists to my national park than the average garden.

Do you know how many people noticed it? Can you give me a rough estimate of how many men said ‘Golly gosh, I appreciate such a smooth pasture?’ None. Zero. Nada. Absolutely no-one. In fact, I got complaints. They had come to frolic in my Yosemite, and all they got was a rather dull rock-garden.

I can’t say I wasn’t relieved. I’d been through my fair share of razor rashes, ingrown hairs and weeks of squirming on the seat of a Tube train in order to scratch it just right as the hairs grew back. It was a constant inconvenience and discomfort and it was boring. The whole process of doing it was boring. The sex was boring. The regrowth was boring.

The only highlight was when, during a wax, I got accidentally fingered by the beautician. Although that then led to some severe thrush after the stray dollop of moisturiser sent my ph balance into a tailspin.

So why has this torture been inflicted on us? And by ‘us’, I don’t mean just women – although we do bear the brunt of it. Men are feeling the need to go at their gonads too, but I can see why – the myth that ‘It’ll make my junk look bigger’.

Yes, because we’re into you just for your peen. That’s why we have taken up so much time on the internet saying how much we luuuurve dick pics. No. Stop that.

Although at a family gathering, an in-law cried out that he would be disgusted if a girl didn’t shave her pubes off. I asked him how he could tell and he just said, ‘Well, on a date, I ask ‘em. Are you shaved or what, love?’ This is a man who also thinks albinos are some kind of camel – just so you know that’s the level we’re dealing with.

A bit of genitalia topiary should be a preference, not expected. And it certainly shouldn’t be the basis or ’make-or-break’ of any relationship. Your partner needs to let you be in charge of your own pubic hair.

Here’s a quick run down why you should have a full bush

1. Pubic hair collects pheromones – those lovely little particles that announce ‘Hello! I’m ready for sex, please!’. And is it just me, or do they smell good anyway? That lovely, musky scent that helps you remember what you were up to last night.

2. They’re protection from bacteria. Hairs draw up moisture and protect your genitalia from things like thrush, and removing it leaves tiny open wounds that increase your chances of abscesses and infections.

3. They increase sensation. At the end of each follicle is a nerve ending, so when you gently brush or breath over them, it gives you a tiny tingle to help stimulation.

4. They’re natural, they’re supposed to be there. It’s a major hint from nature that, like pretty much all the other nifty things in and around your body, they have a job to do. Whether that job is warmth, cushioning, or just being a filter for picking out people who want to degrade you by insisting they have a say in what you do with your body hair.

5. If you’re in a sexual relationship with someone who says things like, ‘The only hair I like is the hair on your head,’ then you’re going out with a dickhead. Seriously. Do not let them touch you. Do not give them the pleasure of your beautiful genitalia. Grab your coat, leave, do not pass go and seriously consider charging them 25k for the pleasure of your company.

I think it’s also pertinent to remember that the only reason why they’ve been eradicated from porn is probably just due to camera angles. Once upon a time, a humble pornographer realised as they were trying to get the perfect money-shot among flailing limbs and sweaty buttocks that, if only those pesky pubes weren’t in the way, they would get a better view. Fortunately, no one is thrusting a camera between your legs. Sorry.

Obviously, some people have no say in their pubic hair growth for various reasons, and I’m certainly not ridiculing the sight of a bald mons pubis – just the effort and expectation that goes into it. I’ve read far too many articles that say, ‘It defines you as being a ‘Real Woman,’ which is a phrase that needs to die in a fire. It’s basically up to you.

Bec < VACHINA >

Behold the Vachina. 

You can now keep your coins inside a handmade vagina. The vagina may be nature’s pocket, but it’s not really the best storage space for loose coins, receipts, and spare tampons. So one intrepid designer is taking the concept of using the vagina as a handy purse, but making it safe for your vaginal health. 

Created by Bec, the designer behind Not Made In China, the Vachina is a small purse for coins, tampons, and any other small miscellaneous items. It also happens to be designed to look like a vagina. 

Just like real vaginas, Vachinas are diverse in skin-tone and hair design, with three colour options for the main body of the purse, four hair colour options, and the choice of three common pubic hair designs (The Tidy Twat, The Overly Manicured Muff, or the 70s Porno Pussy).

They’re 10cm in diameter and each have their own lobster clip, so you can turn them into key-rings or bag accessories, and have a zip-up design to keep everything secure.

You can also take your pick from a crushed velvet or cotton interior, so your coins can stay nice and cosy.

‘The Vachina was a happy accident,’ the purse’s creator, Bec said. ‘I was actually pattern drafting a headphones pouch and my pattern testers kept saying that it looked like a vagina, so to “prove them wrong” I made one to deliberately look like a vagina with a pink zipper and with faux fur.

‘I posted it as a joke on my page to have a laugh and it exploded from there, with in 48 hours I had 55 orders for them!’

Bec recommends using her Vachinas as the perfect storage for headphones, menstrual cups, coins, and tampons, but says that ‘whatever anyone wants to stuff in their Vachina, that’s up to them’. As it should be.

‘The response has been insane,’ says Bec. ‘I was recognised at the shops once as “the Vachina lady! It has been really positive and as one lady said to me “men get to be proud of their willies, why can’t women be proud of their vaginas?” And I think that’s an excellent point.’

Caitlin Rose Sweet < Pussy Pipes >

Pussy pipes are, as the name probably suggests, smoking pipes designed to look like vulvae. 

Caitlin, a 38-year-old queer woman living in Brooklyn with her partner and two small dogs is and artist who has been working with ceramics and textiles since the mid 90s, but recently she’s been getting loads of online attention for her snazzy range of pussy pipes.

‘I started making pipes a little over a year ago, first it was one hitters and the woman symbol shaped pipes. A friend approached me to make a pussy pipe for a gift for a mutual friend. This friend has a really amazing pussy with long fancy lips. After I made the first pipe I shared it on social media and the response was overwhelmingly positive.’

And so Caitlin went into production, hand-crafting pussy pipes in a diverse range of tones and designs.

Caitlin explains that the pipes are all about celebrating the human body, allowing people to consume substances that make their bodies feel good through something that embraces the beauty of the vagina.

‘Pussy pipes are not going to save the world,’ says Caitlin, ‘but they help bad girls, feminists, queers, and those who love us feel better during these troubling times. I have a lot of concerns about feminism reliance on pussy imagery because it can be reductive and alienating to some trans people, like not all women have pussies. But considering how hostile this world is to pussies, femmes, women, queers, etc this is my way to combat misogyny. Here is the USA we are watching a violent attack on reproductive health, women’s bodies, and body autonomy. Pussy pipes are here for people to enjoy and celebrate pussy!’

Aria Watson < #SignedByTrump >

The photo series was created by the 18 year old with a few of the quotes Donald Trump has said about women for her final project in her Introduction to Photography class at Clatsop Community College, Oregon. 

She recruited friends and family to pose for the photos, keeping them anonymous to show that these quotes could be about any woman.

Aria also posed for one of the photos herself.

PUT HER IN CONTROL

Get Her Behind The Wheel

In BDSM, dominance and submission aren’t necessarily cut and dried roles, so explore her dominant side.

ROCKING HORSE

This position brings you up close and intimate in ways the usual woman-on-top sex positions don’t, and by having him sit upright, it can also be much easier for your movement as well. While he leans back onto his hands, yours are free to run over his chest, neck and back, or you can simply lean back, place your hands on his knees, and grind against his hips. Dial up the heat in this position with the addition of a vibrating couples' ring. All this face-to-face closeness leaves him open to intense teasing of his major erogenous zones. With her body-weight on top he’ll have no choice but to submit to the very best sort of torture. Any position requiring kneeling or crossed legs can get uncomfortable, but it can easily be adapted if your partner stretches his legs straight and lies flat, letting you pin his legs and arms down against the bed. 
(Position Difficulty: 1/5)

 LOCK and KEY

Not all these positions put you n top. This modification of missionary allows you to use your thighs and knees, locked tightly around his hips, to both elevate your own hips towards him and also give you control of the depth of his thrusts. It’s like the missionary sex position, except you’re in control from beneath. Remaining face to face, you can frustrate his efforts to enter you deeply while giving complete view of your body. If you’re strong enough, you can also have him support himself entirely with his legs and stimulate you manually as you please. 

You can both decide how active your partner will be as suits the mood – and your fantasies. He can remain still as you push yourself on him, or actively strain against your locked legs.

It does take a fair amount of strength to keep your legs gripping tight, so use your arms wrapped around the back of his knees or his forearms to help push your hips upwards. 
(Position Difficulty 2/5)

 KISS of LIFE

While straddling your partner as he performs oral may be the go-to dominant position, you really can’t beat this position in terms of heat and passion. Easiest against a wall or while you’re sitting on the edge of a bed, you will get an amazing view of him beneath you. You can attempt this position without back support to truly challenge your partner, or let him use that support to free up his hands to cup your bottom or stimulate you manually. And of course, his hair is easily accessible. We genuinely struggle to think of any downsides to oral, but we do sympathize with knee-soreness when it comes to extended sessions. Cushions can help with this, but be aware they can destabilize your partner if too slippery. 

(Position Difficulty: 2.5/5)

HOT SEAT

The Hot Seat does anything but let her sit back and relax. While he needs the flexibility to curl backward, she will need balance and muscle control to hold him there, and to move up and down on him. To lend further support, both can clasp each other’s forearms to facilitate your movements―which will only need to be minor in range to create some major pleasure. This position is also great for anal sex, putting her in control of depth and speed. Requiring both flexibility from him and extreme care from her, she may not want to stay in the hot seat too long! 
(Position Difficulty: 4/5)

BRIDGE

This position is for that special yoga-enthusiast in your life. After he bends backwards into the bridge position, she straddles him and moves up and down, shifting weight from her toes to heels, completely controlling the speed and depth. Because her body isn’t needed for support, her hands are free to dial up the heat with a small hand held clitoral vibe. It does take a heroic amount of flexibility, not to mention upper body strength. If her partner is up to the challenge, their respective height differences may also make movement difficult for her. 
(Position Difficulty: 5/5)
