Every April Fool's Day since 2010, something weird has happened on my blog. Today: a delightful, hysterical, and in-depth look back at all my jokes, from whimsical and cute to bizarre and off-putting.
Vulvas are not vaginas.
Sex is not shameful.
Anything can be a "couples' sex toy."
Kegel balls won't "get lost" inside you.
Your vag cannot possibly break a glass dildo.
Yes, there are people who use large dildos and powerful wand vibrators.
There isn't one "BEST" sex toy.
Tumblr is about to ban "adult content," which brings up the age-old question: will social media platforms ever stop acting like sex doesn't exist? As a veteran sex blogger, I had some THOUGHTS:

Portland protesters have drafted resignation letters for cops, which they fold into planes and fly over the fence that has been constructed around the Justice Center. ๐ฏ
"I'm looking for a vibrator for my wife" is the most useless phrase dudes say in a sex shop. As if I'm just gonna be like "no problem at all, sir, let me direct you to the one and only vibrator designed for WIVES."
Uh. Wow. Wildflower named their sex toy "Enby" for clout, and now they're trying to SUE a Black- and trans-owned sex shop FOR USING THE WORD "ENBY."
Excuse me???? That word is not yours?????

Did I lug these dildos 2,543 miles across the ocean just for these photos? Yes. Did they almost wash out to sea while I was shooting? Also yes. I wanted pics of them in their natural habitat, OKAY?!
THIS is why where you shop for your sex toys matters. There are businesses, and then there are true feminist businesses who give a shit about their employees.

On this day 15 years ago, I hit "publish" on my very first blog post. I was oblivious to the weird and wild future that lay ahead of me. How could a person make a career out of a BLOG? Especially one about something so *gasp*?

A guy on this dating reality show just called himself "the biggest freak in the world."
Every time a dude says that, I wanna be like, "oh, so I can stick things in your penis?!"
K if you're a sex education website and you have a section called "for couples" then another called "queer" you should probably re-think that??? And I hate you
Can't stop thinking about this dialogue I read in a fan fiction the other night: "turn around and face the window. I want you to see how the world stops when I make you come."
Keep thinking about the people who condescendingly told me "it's just a difference of opinion" as if there would be no consequences for electing a racist misogynist dictator

Employee at wallpaper store: "what kind of pattern are you looking for?"
Me: [hesitates] "well, uh, it's oddly specific, but I'm looking for a vulva pattern."
Employee, unsure they heard me correctly: "...vulva?"
Dunno which sex shop customers are worse: dudes who mansplain all the vibrators to their girlfriends, or the ones who aggressively refuse to help them pick something out because OH GOD SCARY SEX SHOP
Confused about how to act in a sex shop? Here's a hint: act like you would IN ANY OTHER RETAIL ESTABLISHMENT.
Unless you're an asshole in every retail establishment. In which case, just FYI: everyone hates you.
I encounter some pretty wild sex toy claims, but wow a company declaring that their lube "fights feelings of anxiety and depression and inspires joy" because it's vanilla-scented... is QUITE a stretch
I am SO OVER "empowering" "women-owned" online sex shops that peddle shitty generic white-label sex toys with fake reviews. You found a stock image of some suggestively-shaped mandarin oranges or a group of white women laughing together? Yeah, you and 500 others. Try again.
My new dentist, cleaning my teeth: "so you're off work today?"
"Mostly... I'm working a class tonight though."
"Oh, what's it about?"
[knowing it's a blowjob class] "I... uh..."
....my website is a sex blog. So yes, I needed my graphic designer and web developer to be open-minded โ rather than squeamish or puritanical โ about sex.

For the record, I would never offer my services to someone who demands certain political viewpoints.
In what circumstance would "being sex-positive" have any positive influence between using a class or hard-coding a <div>?

The concept of healthcare needing to be "medically necessary" is so fucked. Like, I'm sorry I want a routine STI test or want to manage my anxiety before it eats me alive!!!
My musician partner just told me he has a spectrum analyzer app that can tell me the frequency a sex toy is vibrating at. WHY HAS HE BEEN HIDING THIS IMPORTANT INFO
