*Accomplishes one small task* TIME FOR A MASTURBATION BREAK.
Like, you're not exactly horny, but you have nothing better to do, so...orgasm?

Stacking a million pillows and blankets on top of yourself to mute the sound of your vibrator isn't exactly ideal, but what else are you going to do, let everyone listen to the dulcet sounds of your orgasm?
Long, uninterrupted stretches of time to yourself are rare and sacred when you don't live alone. And tbh, the only real way to celebrate that is to turn up the volume on your porn and actually let out a moan for once.

No matter what fantasy you start out with, every once in a while someone completely random pops up and hijacks your fantasy, and THERE YOU ARE, ACCIDENTALLY MASTURBATING TO SOMEONE YOU'VE NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT IN A SEXUAL CONTEXT BEFORE.

Sneaky sneaky.
This could POSSIBLY be OK if they explain that they are an ER doctor on call or that if they miss a certain bizarre phone call a puppy will die, but other than that, there is no need for that phone to be on the table during your date.

This probably won't be as straight forward as flicking them off, like in the picture above. But if they aren't saying "please" or "thank you" or are just being generally unkind to the waiter, you can bet they aren't going to be kind to you for very long either.

You didn't go on a date to interview someone for a position in your pants, you went on a date to interview each other for positions in each other's pants.

Don't get me wrong being excited to talk in a conversation is great, but if they're talking over you to just talk obsessively about themselves they probably won't make a very thoughtful partner in the long run.

The social media network announced in a post on Friday, "We believe in building a platform that supports all communities. So we’re celebrating love and diversity this Pride by giving you a special reaction."
June is traditionally when LGBTQ people across the world celebrate Pride. The rainbow flag takes on a poignant tone this year, though: Gilbert Baker, the activist who created the rainbow flag in 1978 at Harvey Milk's request, died in March 2017. He described himself as "the gay Betsy Ross," according to his New York Times obituary.
According to Facebook, it's available for all of Pride Month.
And people, especially LGBTQ people, were a bit confused.

They've always been safe havens for the LGBT community to express themselves fully and comfortably. They represent inclusivity and diversity. Oh, and they're fun as hell. That's why we asked Yelp for the most popular gay bars in the US, which were measured using an algorithm that looks at the star rating and number of reviews for each business.
So, here they are — the 50 best gay bars to grab a drink, dance with friends, and celebrate Pride, in order by state.

Are you an authority on anal or that person who goes to the ER with something weird stuck up their butt?
Obviously, every body and butt is different, so what toy is suitable for one person might be ~too much to handle~ for another. But when it comes to using toys and objects anally, there are certain factors that reduce injury, abrasion of the anal tissue, and risk of it getting stuck or lost up there.
So for the sake of this quiz, we're not asking if you CAN stick something up your butt, we're asking if you SHOULD. Also, assume that in each case, proper safety and protective measures (lube, condoms when necessary, etc.) are taken.

It’s the sex joke about lesbian sex/lady masturbation.
I will reprint it here for your amusement:
Wonder Woman: "You refer to reproductive biology? ... Yeah, I know. I know all about that."
Wonder Woman's male helper Steve: "I refer to that and, you know, other things."
WW: "The pleasures of the flesh."
Steve: "Do you...know about that?"
WW: "I've read all 12 volumes of Clio's treatises on bodily pleasure."
Steve: "All 12, huh? Did you you bring any of those with you?"
WW: "You would not enjoy them. ... They came to the conclusion that men are essential for procreation but when it comes to pleasure, unnecessary."
Warner Bros
I laughed! But alas, I have a curious heart, and sitting in a theater in Los Angeles, I couldn't laugh without asking myself: Who is Clio, and where are these volumes? Thus began my investigation.

I was ready to order all 12 volumes on Amazon, but they do not exist.

The series was created by Dear World, a group that shares people's personal stories through powerful portraits, including words written on the subjects’ skin. Most notably, the group featured survivors of the Boston Marathon bombing.
Daymon Gardner for Dear World
In his interview, Orlando police officer Omar Delgado described cell phones going off all around him as he entered the nightclub.
"Phones start ringing all over the place. The one that gets me is the one iPhone that was next to my feet that just kept going and going and going," he said. "I would see the caller ID, the picture. I was like, 'I know this person's never going to be able to pick up this phone again,'" he said.
Daymon Gardner for Dear World
"Sometimes they cried, sometimes they laughed, but each one, without a shadow of cliche, told us that they get up each day, put one foot in front of the other, and no longer take life for granted," Fogarty said of the interviews, which took place over four days in May.
Pictured above is Mina Justice, whose son, Eddie Justice, was killed in the attack. She described going straight to her son's apartment after hearing about the shooting.
"I went to his apartment. I went in and I was like, he's here, I see shoes," she recalled. "I wasn't there more than ten minutes and the FBI called."
Daymon Gardner for Dear World
"When things like this happen and they don't happen to us personally we all watch in awe," said Fogarty. "The people it happens to become characters in a narrative that they can't control and never asked for."

Scene from Orange Is the New Black Season 5 finale.
Netflix
By the time Orange Is the New Black Season 5 reaches its closing moments, a riot at Litchfield has left two guards dead, the prison in shambles, and the future of every character up in the air.
“It felt very important to us that if we were going to commit to doing a riot that you can't go back from that,” Lauren Morelli, who wrote the season finale, told BuzzFeed News. “In the real world, prisoners would not riot and then everything would be fine.”
Actually, nothing is fine at Litchfield. As a CERT team takes back the prison and forcibly removes the inmates, the show’s carefully formed families are literally torn apart: Flaca (Jackie Cruz), Maritza (Diane Guerrero), Lorna (Yael Stone), and many more are randomly placed on several buses headed for destinations unknown.
But one cluster remains carefully hidden from the brutish group of officers as they punch, shock, and gas their way through the halls: Frieda (Dale Soules), Suzanne (Uzo Aduba), Black Cindy (Adrienne C. Moore), Taystee (Danielle Brooks), Red (Kate Mulgrew), Piper (Taylor Schilling), Alex (Laura Prepon), Nicky (Natasha Lyonne), Gloria (Selenis Leyva), and Blanca (Laura Gómez) are holed up in the abandoned swimming pool in the basement.

Their secluded spot doesn’t stay secret for long and the final frames of the season show the women joining hands just as the CERT team sets off an explosion that decimates their makeshift barricade and sends shrapnel flying. And with 10 of the most significant Orange Is the New Black characters staring down their would-be assailants, the finale suddenly cuts to black.
It’s one of the show’s biggest cliffhangers to date, and it's clear Orange Is the New Black will never be the same.
“I think this thing is going to change — big-time. We're going someplace else,” Mulgrew told BuzzFeed News. “It was extremely live or die; drama at its most heightened. Who knows what's going to happen when the dust settles — I know nothing — but I don't think everyone is going to survive that last moment. They may initially, but I think there will be repercussions. There were 10 of us holding hands ... I think someone will get hurt. I don't know who.”
Brooks and Mulgrew
Netflix
Though she’s in the dark as to what journey awaits Red in Season 6, Mulgrew believes the choice to close out this season on those 10 characters is a sign of what’s to come. “I think that signifies, perhaps, a more concentrated view going into Season 6,” she said.
OITNB creator Jenji Kohan is no stranger to blowing up the world her characters live in; she ended the third season of Weeds by having Mary-Louise Parker’s character burn down her picture-perfect neighborhood and go on the lam with her family.
“I think we always try to be responsible — primarily because it's going to be us who is stuck with whatever we do,” Morelli said with a laugh. “So we try to be really responsible about, Okay, if we make this decision, what happens next? And of course, Jenji is such an incredible leader in terms of making sure we're thinking ahead, but she's also such a badass, such a renegade, and she's so willing to just leap. She's so willing to be like, 'Let's take the big swing and we'll figure it out,' versus, 'Let’s make sure we have a good plan in place.' I think it's really exciting to get to watch these women who have been powerless for four seasons suddenly have the power and what are the ramifications of that.”
Of course, Morelli wouldn’t speak to the plan for Season 6, but she did offer up this small tease: “I think it's going to be different in a really great way. This ending allows us to explore a lot more of prison that we haven't seen yet.”
HAPPY PRIDE.

“Falling in love with another black man was scary in ways neither of us could have ever imagined.”
"Dominic and I met as teenagers. We went to different high schools but they were close in proximity, so we had a lot of mutual friends," their story begins. "High school was also the time period in which we both came out to our families, although at separate times and unknowingly of each other's personal journeys."
Dominic and I feel lucky to have found love at such a young age. However, falling in love with another black man was scary in ways neither of us could have ever imagined. It forced us to face the very real resistance from society for being not only homosexuals but black men as well. We had to confront the stereotypes of being largely defined as uneducated, disloyal, untrustworthy, and unreliable individuals. But together we chose to rise above those prejudices and rewrite our own story- one of inspiration. We want others to see that our union is marked by achievement, love, friendship, respect, and unconditional support. We hope to encourage other black and brown men and boys everywhere to be true to who they are. And when they find love in each other's eyes, to know that their love is just as strong and beautiful as anyone else's.
Whether you’re a new parent or just welcomed your fifth, adopted or created your family in any other way — we want to hear from you!
For many queer families, the road to becoming a parent is already more complicated than usual. The uncertainty of parental leave can be an added toll.

Whether you welcomed a newborn or adopted an older child or teenager, you probably needed time to settle everyone in.
