How well do you know your intersectionality? The word intersectional is often used alongside the word feminism. As a company that strives to make sexual wellness better for everyone, we believe it’s paramount to take on an inclusive approach and gain an understanding of what intersectionality actually means, and why it’s so very necessary. First thing first: intersectionality is essential, especially when it comes to making sexual wellness better for everyone. There is no equality without intersectionality. It must be known that everyone belongs to several social categories, and these categor ..read more

… and what we can do about it. As World Sexual Health Day approaches (4 September), let’s review the great sexual health bias and explore ways to keep your vaginas healthy and happy.  Pleasure vs health: the dichotomy that never was. Our overactive brains love to rationalise and compartmentalise everything. When it comes to sex, we more or less consciously tend to adopt a binary approach: a fun-spirited, light-hearted approach that treats sex as frivolous and a game; a more stern and serious approach based on the notion of sex as a series of health risks and issues to prevent.  This ..read more

Clichés are easy, familiar and comforting, especially when it comes to love and relationships, yet they usually hide more complex dynamics. But is there any truth to them? Do opposites actually attract? Should you really treat them mean to keep them keen or is it just a bunch of lies we tell ourselves to make life easier? At times, it is much easier to convince ourselves our relationships are ruined by common myths and inescapable dynamics rather than really question and investigate the situations we find (or rather put) ourselves in.  Clichés can be highly misleading, especially when it ..read more

Who doesn’t love lunar astrology and isn’t a little obsessed with their horoscope? We always like to approach things from alternative perspectives in ways that make a difference. Rather than offer the umpteenth variation on the classic zodiac horoscope, we decided to team up with an astrologist we all love and shares our love for critical thinking: introducing Lumpa’s monthly moon horoscope. Why look at the moon? Because, much more so than the sun, it speaks to our emotional sphere and provides guidance in how to deal with our feelings and manage our intimate interactions. Often overlooke ..read more

From the moment we become aware of our sexuality and intimacy, we start questioning ourselves on our vulvas, vaginas and worrying whether ours are “normal”. What is even more distressing is when we receive unsolicited opinions on how they ought to look or smell. Too many of us have been told their vagina smells bad, tastes funny, looks wrong, is too loose, too wet, not wet enough… This is vagina shaming at its finest. Beyond the people we interact with, ads, brands and products we come across with on a simple supermarket run have always fed the insecurity by promoting a certain idea, that of ..read more

“A young girl spends the evening alone at home. She decides to have some sweet solo pleasure session, but not everything goes according to plan.” This is the kind of experience most of us can relate to, and the premise that inspired Renata Gasiorowska to create the animated short that takes an honest, entertaining and unconventional look at female masturbation.  Her name is Renata Gasiorowska, she is a Polish director, she graduated from the National Film School in Łodz, and in 2016 she made “Pussy” (“Cipka” as per its original title). Created with a somewhat limited budget, which gi ..read more

The best thing about vibrators is that you can generally use them anywhere (or in most places) and with anyone (those who won’t let you are probably worth doing a ghosting number on). You may choose the colour, shape, stimulation, intensity and so much more. Not to mention the excitement of buying your very first sex toy. These objects were created for your pleasure only. Or were they? This is a sex toy story that will shine a bone-chilling new light on the most pleasurable household objects of all. Can a vibrator ever give you chills for the wrong reasons? Here is a short story to help us fi ..read more

What is sex work and who are sex workers? Sex work is as much about sex as it is a form of work. But how it is actually considered by society and culture? The realm of sex work is largely inhabited by female bodies, but it is above all composed of individual identities and perspectives. Sex work exists in a world where sex and money are often linked, each with their own power dynamics.* Back when Christian morals ruled the world and today still, everything that pertains to the sexual sphere, including pornography and prostitution, has always been a source of controversy, and a central topic i ..read more

Whether you get to experience it with a partner, a tongue, fingers, a vibrator or a showerhead, an orgasm is an orgasm, right? But what happens when what is commonly thought of as the most pleasurable experience known to man isn’t pleasurable (at all)? Is there really such a thing as a pleasureless orgasm? Introducing bad orgasms. Climaxing without experiencing pleasure is often described as an example of non-positive experience that might occur during consensual sex. A bittersweet experience that is quite unlike things we think we know about orgasming. Bad orgasms, what are they even about ..read more
