“Feminists talk a lot about the privileging of penile-vaginal intercourse. We talk a lot about how the word foreplay is misleading at best and sexist at worst. We talk a lot about how most women can’t come from penetration alone, and how treating non-intercourse forms of sex as simply a preamble — not even sex at all, really — trivializes female pleasure.
What we don’t talk about as much is how this assumption trivializes male pleasure. We don’t talk about the pressure it puts on men to “perform” — pressure that, ironically, can make said “performance” more problematic. And we don’t talk as much about the ridiculous limitations it puts on male sexuality. We don’t talk as much about how enjoying full-body sensuality, nipples and ears and toes and hair and the huge range of sexual pleasures available to all human beings, is typically seen as girly. We don’t talk as much about how men who like receiving anal sex are widely assumed to be gay… even if the people they like receiving anal sex from are consistently women. And we don’t talk as much about how this assumption reduces men’s pleasure, their possibilities, their entire sexual beings, to a few inches of erectile tissue between their legs.”—5 Things Society Unfairly Expects of Men | Reproductive Justice | AlterNet (via sexisnottheenemy)

St. Sebastian (1525-28). Agnolo Bronzino. Oil on panel. Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza, Madrid
I love portraits of St. Sebastian in general, but this one really tickles my fancy. Normally he looks too-cool-for-school sexy, despite the arrows riddled through his body. This one, he looks like a Teen Hearthrob you’d see in Tiger Beat.
How you doin’?
