Toy With Me Tuesday:
Freedom and Privilege

When I started thinking about this week's 'Toy With Me Tuesday', I wanted to take Ness' suggestion and talk about sexual freedom for a quick minute, because it's actually something that means quite a bit to me. I've been privileged enough to not only enjoy sexual freedom in (and out of) the bedroom, but I've also been privileged enough to be able to study sexuality in an academic realm. I recognize that not everyone everywhere has had the opportunities and privileges I've been graced with, and I want to honour that.

If I had been born a few decades earlier, my life's path would surely be quite different.

I might not have owned a Hitachi, let alone have been able to enjoy the wonders of orgasm. I might not have had access to my own library of sexual information, let alone been able to read.

This is my privilege.




You can find more creative sex toy photography by heading on over to this week's Toy with me Tuesday collection. You can also follow the #ToyWithMeTuesday hashtag on twitter.

    1. Thank you - I think that the idea hits home for a lot of people who are involved in the industry of sex and sexuality, but we don't often think/talk about it.

  2. Very moving indeed - love the photo.

    Also love the fact that you have a copy of Whipping Girl in the corner. I can always appreciate a well-read blogger!

    1. I'm surprised you recognized Whipping Girl by that little corner! I don't think I would have! But it is a fantastic book - it's a staple in my sexuality library that I come back to time and time again.
