No, you don鈥檛 need to put more effort into communicating with your partner or anything because these seven perks make polyamorous relationships easy to manage. 

Now three people can break your heart in the same week

What鈥檚 better than one soul-crushing heartbreak? Three! Imagine crying about three people you love and having to go to work and smile the next day. Sounds amazing, innit? Worse? You鈥檒l be going through a breakup while being in a happy relationship and feeling bad about being sad when it can鈥檛 be helped.

You鈥檒l always know how all your money disappears 

Don鈥檛 you just love the security that comes with opening your banking app and seeing no money? The universe loves you so much that two of your partners were born in the same month, and both of their love languages are gift-giving. While others get the luxury of never knowing what they spent their salary on, you will always know. Loves cost everything, oh, arms and legs included. 

Your dating pool is even smaller

I mean, if there was a world record for most blocked in a year, you鈥檒l probably win, and that’s something! Don鈥檛 you just love having even fewer options now? Precisely and if you think about it, you鈥檒l learn how to get over heartbreaks faster, which can be a superpower!

Everyone and their daddies will judge you for free

So what if you can never bring your partner home to your parents? Think about how you cut bills on streaming platforms, rent, and cab billings, and see how good you鈥檝e got it. Yes, by all means, friend that cheats on his partner unprovoked, tell me how being poly is wrong I’m very interested in your opinion!

Spending all your time on the road

You鈥檒l have so much fun being stuff in traffic just to visit different partners outside the hours capitalism already steals; that鈥檚 so cute. The best part? When you put on your CV that you鈥檙e great at time management, you can attach your cab trip history for proof. 

Being great at sharing

Earthly possessions are meaningless anyways, so what if all the clothes in your wardrobe are gone now, and you buy double the usual groceries? You鈥檒l quickly get used to sharing that favourite drink you don鈥檛 even let your siblings breathe around, and it won鈥檛 be a problem. 

Peace of mind

All your partners will love each other and live in peace and harmony, which will, in turn, give you peace of mind. No, come on, you’re not going to spend all your weekends settling fights because you spent more time with one person over the other. It鈥檚 all sunshine and rainbows.聽

Bisexuals, Do These 7 Things When You Feel Invisible /life/bisexuals-do-these-7-things-when-you-feel-invisible/ Fri, 23 Sep 2022 18:52:51 +0000 /?p=284446 We understand how sad it must feel to live your truth outside of bisexual visibility day. Especially when you feel like your identity isn鈥檛 valid and you don鈥檛 see enough bisexual representation in mainstream media. 

That鈥檚 why we鈥檝e come up with seven simple ways to feel less invisible as a bisexual person.

Walk anywhere and take whatever you like

I mean, you鈥檙e already invisible so do crime. How will they see you to catch? Walk into that store you鈥檝e been eyeing for months and pick whatever you like. In fact, go to an amala joint and just dish whatever you like, eat and don鈥檛 pay. You鈥檙e basically untouchable at this point.


RELATED: 7 Bisexual Nigerians Talk Sleeping With Men & Women


Walk up to random people and shout, 鈥淚t鈥檚 just a phase.鈥

I strongly suggest you make use of a megaphone so it鈥檚 more effective. Since everybody thinks it鈥檚 okay to tell you how to identify, they should be okay hearing it back too. If you like, set a reminder to send this to random group chats daily. Anything to get the message across. They already think you鈥檙e bisexual for attention anyway.

Wear the flag everywhere

It鈥檚 a beautiful flag, so buy many yards to sew as many clothes as possible. It鈥檒l call attention to you, and maybe you鈥檒l be more visible. It鈥檒l also make Tunde from bumble stop saying stupid shit like, 鈥淲ow, I鈥檝e never met a bisexual in my life鈥, before proceeding to ask for a threesome. 

phot credit:

Choose yourself

Since everyone鈥檚 favourite pastime is to tell you to pick a side, don鈥檛 let them know your next move. Choose yourself instead. As a bisexual person, your dating pool is instantly smaller because queer women think you鈥檇 cheat, and the men just want threesomes. Spare yourself all that and date yourself. It can鈥檛 get more self-love than that. 

Watch music videos that were your bisexual awakening

Like everyone else, there must be one or ten music videos that were your queer awakening. Whether it鈥檚 all of Beyonce’s music videos or that one song with , it鈥檚 hard to feel invisible when you鈥檙e watching things that make you feel seen.

Take a quiz

You know nothing makes you feel better than a good 鈥淗ow bisexual are you quiz鈥. Maybe you鈥檒l finally figure it out, or probably not. Because your attraction to both genders might not be equal, and that鈥檚 okay. 

Watch your favourite shows

I know you watch it for the plot and amazing OST, and not for the two very different characters you have a crush on. When you feel the most invisible, you can always find comfort in romanticising a life where you鈥檙e married to both your celebrity crushes.

What Is Queer Flagging and Why Do You Do It? /life/what-is-queer-flagging-and-why-do-you-do-it/ Sat, 10 Sep 2022 12:00:00 +0000 /?p=283134 You鈥檙e probably wondering what flagging is and why it鈥檚 important to queer people? First off,  it鈥檚 important to acknowledge that flagging has been a big subculture for as long as queer people have existed. It鈥檚 a subtly way of saying, 鈥淚鈥檓 queer and I鈥檓 here.鈥 

For people like us who live in a country where it鈥檚 not so safe to be queer out loud and we get prosecuted for it due to the SAME SEX MARRIAGE (PROHIBITION) ACT (SSMPA) bill, it doesn’t take away the need to live as boldly as you can in public. Hence the need to flag. Queer flagging here means wearing, owing using terms, clothing, etc as a way of hinting to other another queer people that you too are queer. 

I spoke to these four queer Nigerians, and here’s what they had to say about flagging and why it鈥檚 important to them. 

Milan,  she/her

Queer flagging, to me, is showing other community members you鈥檙e one of them. The subtle hints allow other queer people to recognise you outside. It鈥檚 important for me to queer flag because I鈥檓 a femme woman meaning that I鈥檓 not someone people stereotypically ascribe queerness to. People see me and assume I鈥檓 for the man dem, but I鈥檓 for the girls and the gays. I want to be noticed by other queer women. I am tired of men moving to me, thinking I like them. I鈥檓 a lesbian. We live in a homophobic country, and you can鈥檛 just walk up to someone of your gender and tell them you like them like that

You have to watch out for signs, maybe looks or a particular attitude or behaviour. I like to be approached, talked to and taken seriously, so I flag because I don鈥檛 fit into the queer stereotype. To be honest, I don鈥檛 like queer flagging because it feels like a performance, but I understand its importance, even though I wish I didn鈥檛 have to. It feels like I鈥檓 performing sexuality and not staying true to myself, but it needs to be done.  


RELATED:


JJ, he/him

Of course, there鈥檚 no one way to look queer, but when I was still a , no one could tell I was queer even when I went to queer parties. Now that I鈥檓 a typical example of what a queer masc person looks like, people now get me. 

I imagine it must be difficult for femme queer women. The problem is that even back then, I was a bit of a tomboy 鈥 and being tomboy doesn鈥檛 necessarily mean queer 鈥 but as soon as I cut my hair, everyone and their daddies started to call me 鈥済ay鈥 outside. The upside to flagging is that your tribe will easily find you, but it will also attract homophobes. I will never stop, though. It鈥檚 the only way I can affirm my queerness in public when I feel the need to hide.  

Theo, she/they

Queer flagging for me is how I present myself when I鈥檓 outside in a bid not to look because I鈥檓 non-binary. I mostly never 鈥渓ook queer鈥. I envy people who can, though. I feel like I can just walk up to someone with aqueer aesthetic and talk to them, but I don鈥檛 鈥渓ook it鈥, so they wouldn鈥檛 know how to react to me in that 鈥淚 see you鈥 way.

It sucks sometimes but it鈥檚 still important to me that queer people flag because it makes me feel like I鈥檓 not alone when I step out of my house. I live for that smile across the street when I see a queer person outside. It鈥檚 such a mood booster. You see someone living their best queer life and it makes you feel like you can do it too because this person is living so proudly. Like yass, that鈥檚 the agenda.

Ink, he/ they

Its important becausethose who know will recognise the way you flag. Queer flagging is important because it helps you find community. It’s not safe for people to just announce they’re queer in this hell of a country, but queer flagging will let you know who’s queer or, at the very least, who won’t mind being regarded as queer. When you understand how other people are flagging and they know you understand, it’s like an instant connection. You let down your guard around each other. I feel like I’m the only queer person around me sometimes, but going out and catching the eye of someone who’s also queer, sharing a smile or a nod? That thing can make  my day.

The Gay Dating Experience: Expectations vs Reality /life/the-gay-dating-experience-expectations-vs-reality/ Sat, 06 Aug 2022 14:30:00 +0000 /?p=279679 A while back, I wrote about the realities of the lesbian dating experience and realised I had to do one for people in gay relationships too. For this, I spoke to several people in the gay community, and here’s what they shared with me about the reality of gay relationships.

You’ll enjoy each other’s shows 

Expectations: You鈥檒l love each other鈥檚 shows and  be willing to wait for the other person when new episodes come out.  

Reality: One of you will spend the entire relationship begging the other to watch your shows. And one person will always be ahead of the other on the one you end up watching together. Life’s tough, but love is tougher.

RELATED: 5 Bisexual Men Talk About Discovering Their Sexuality

After the talking stage, a relationship is expected

Expectation: After spending that much time talking and getting to know each other’s childhood fears, the logical thing is a relationship.

Reality: Unfortunately, most times, all that happens is sex. Which, in all fairness, is not such a bad deal. But when you want more than sex, it鈥檚 hard not to keep getting disappointed by people with commitment issues. Hooking up is easy, but getting into a relationship is complicated. 

Everyone you meet is new, so it’s a unique experience 

Expectation: If you meet someone outside of your friends for the first time, and no one knows him, it鈥檚 refreshing, and you鈥檒l end up in less messy situations. 

Reality: The dating pool is too small for the people you meet not to be your ex’s ex. If you meet someone no one knows, you should be careful, so you don’t get a Kito experience you’ll regret. 

RELATED: Sex Life: I Got Set Up By A Straight Man Pretending To Be Gay 锘

Clubbing or attending parties will be much better with your partner 

Expectation: Parties and clubs become 10x more fun when you go with your partner; what’s better than an experience you鈥檒l share memories of instead of having to tell them about it? 

Reality: That’s how they鈥檒l find your replacement in your presence. Also, one person will have less fun because they’d be too busy trying to keep the other safe. 

Sex will become slow-paced 

Expectation: Sex is great and all, but after a while, it won’t happen as often, and you鈥檒l find other things to do together.

Reality: While this might seem like a threat, it actually never gets slow-paced. And if it does, y鈥檃ll are about to break up. Why do you even want it to be slow-paced? Do you not like enjoyment?

Noncommitment can be fixed by making the relationship open

Expectation: If you guys are struggling to stay committed to one another because of years spent on the streets, opening the relationship will fix it.

Reality: Except one or both of you are polyamorous, there鈥檚 no way opening a relationship can solve cheating or your partner’s inability to commit. Some situations are considered cheating in open relationships too. So it鈥檚 better to talk things out and make rules even. 

After you get heartbroken, this will be you.

They鈥檇 drop their standards for you

Expectations: It doesn鈥檛 matter what they usually like in a relationship, they鈥檇 drop it all for you. If he鈥檚 a bottom who鈥檚 never dated a bottom, he鈥檒l change his mind because he likes you. 

Reality: He probably won’t. He鈥檇 drop those standards enough to have sex if he鈥檚 desperate, but not for a relationship. If, as a bottom, he thinks he can鈥檛 date a bottom, or as a masc guy, femme guys are too much for him, first, that鈥檚 a red flag, and you should run. Secondly, his opinion won鈥檛 miraculously change without you getting hate crimed first for a while.

These 7 Animated Shows Have the Coolest LGBTQ Representation /pop/these-7-animated-shows-have-the-coolest-lgbtq-representation/ Tue, 21 Jun 2022 12:00:00 +0000 /?p=275925 There are many animated TV shows with LGBTQ representation these days. But these seven shows make a bold statement. They explicitly say, 鈥淭his character is gay and you’ll be fine鈥. They get it right in LGBTQ representation. Here’s why: 

The Owl House

The Owl House gave us Disney’s first openly bisexual character, Luz, who dated a girl after finding herself in a world full of magic. Even though the series was cancelled after three seasons, it did well with LGBTQ representation with characters like Rain, an older nonbinary character. The Owl House also had a great storyline and a fun animation style, so we were sad to see it end soon. It had a short ride, but this series gets a 10 because there鈥檚 no character as cute as King, and it’s a fan favourite. 

RELATED: You鈥檙e a Dead Guy if You Didn鈥檛 Watch These 10 Animated Films Growing Up

Steven Universe

Steven Universe is great, but many things were and not as boldly stated as shows today. Still, we can’t talk about LGBTQ reps in shows without giving them credit for the part they played normalising kissing and getting married. The show gave us the first animated lesbian marriage, a nonbinary intersex character Stevonnie and arguably the most nontoxic masculine main character in TV history. For its part in paving the way for more queer shows, Steven Universe gets a 9/10 because it’s just that bitch, and we will never get over it. 

Dead End: Paranormal Park

From the start, this show said, “I’m going to give you a queer character and you will love him like you’ve known him forever.鈥 The series is barely six days old but is already a fave because it stars a trans character that is relatable. Not only is he trans, but his love interest is also a man. Who else is doing it like them, show of hands?

They鈥檝e given us binder struggles, funny-as-hell demons, and one of the show’s most badass villains is voiced by from . 

RELATED: Did You Know These Animated Films Were Made by Nigerians?

She-Ra and the Princesses of Power

Lesbians, bisexuals, nonbinary/trans folk and gay couples. This show had us well fed. There was no coming out, no homophobia. It was all treated as naturally as it should be. I’m Jealous but also so happy for the younger queer audience that gets to experience this. The show was the wildest, most complicated lesbian love story I’ve ever seen, and the best part was that it had a happy ending. She-Ra was amazing but I rate it 7/10 for making their nonbinary character a . 

Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts

The only thing better than a show that teaches kids about the power of love and friendship is a show that isn’t afraid to use the word “gay”. This show gave us the softest men-loving men (MLM) relationship with Troy and Benson. My favourite part was that even in the face of an apocalyptic world full of talking animals, queerness was normalised. This show is vibrant, from the soundtrack to the animation style and colour, so it gets a solid 8/10.聽

The Legend of Korra

Korra gave us bisexual representation, and that is why it鈥檚 on this goated list. Korra is the sequel to Avatar, the Last Airbender that we didn’t know we needed, and anyone that hates it is just . What’s not to love about a badass avatar that goes through so much and becomes stronger each time. And then her love story? Korrasami walked so every other queer ship could run. For that, it gets a 9/10 for us. 

Craig of the Creek

First of all, Craig of the Creek is an animated show focused on a black kid with several black characters just doing child-like things like exploring the creek in their hometown and making fun memories with their active imagination. Most importantly, the show gave us a  range of recurring LGBTQ+ characters. This includes a sapphic couple, a nonbinary character voiced by a nonbinary actor and one of the main characters who鈥檚 a lesbian. It’s raining 10s, people.

Memes You Can Relate to if You Grew Up Queer in Nigeria /life/memes-you-can-relate-to-if-you-grew-up-queer-in-nigeria/ Tue, 07 Jun 2022 10:13:08 +0000 /?p=274583 For most queer people, growing up in Nigeria is the ghetto. But sometimes, you encounter some ridiculous situations that leave you laughing. Here are ten memes you can relate to as a queer Nigerian. 

1. The 鈥淜eep It together鈥 meme

That weird random moment when your family members are bad-mouthing queer people around you, and you鈥檙e fighting the urge to scream, 鈥淚t鈥檚 me, I鈥檓 queer people!鈥

RELATED: 6 Queer Nigerians Give Advice to Newer Queer People

2. The 鈥淒on鈥檛 think about it too much鈥 meme

Nobody should even tell you twice. Embrace it. You鈥檙e the main character now. 

3. The 鈥淚s this gay enough?鈥

No, because do they expect people to walk around draped in the pride flag?

4. The 鈥淗omophobic and still can鈥檛 speak English鈥 meme

Use this meme when homophobes ask people with neo pronouns how they can use 鈥渢hey/they鈥 for one person or when they say LgTv people as a joke. 

5.  The 鈥渢ry to mind your business鈥 meme

When that family member that has problems comes to ask you foolish questions, refine this meme to fit their situation. You鈥檙e welcome. 

6. The 鈥淚f you guys knew, why didn鈥檛 you tell me?鈥

Lowkey, this meme is for when you come out to your friends, and they say, 鈥渙h, we know鈥 or 鈥淵ou鈥檙e just knowing鈥 reread the title. 

RELATED: When a Queer Friend Comes Out to You, Here鈥檚 How to Be Respectful

7. The 鈥淐elebrate little wins.鈥

We might not be winning at many things, but for those of us who refuse to or can鈥檛 pay rent, being able to have your partner in your parent’s house is a blessing. 

8. The 鈥 Na beg I dey beg you鈥

You love all your queer friends, but some can never come to your house because your parents will immediately clock them.

RELATED: Every Queer Friend Group Has One of These

9. The 鈥渨tf is a gay stereotype鈥 meme

Sometimes you want to laugh at funny queer memes, but it鈥檚 so far removed from your reality. For instance, if you liked folding the arm of your t-shirt as a Nigerian child, the t-shirt probably wasn鈥檛 your size. But outside, it鈥檚 a lesbian thing. 

10. The 鈥淔or here?鈥 meme

When pride month begins, and the abroad queers start making jokes about how corporations change their logos, all you can do is laugh because honestly, for here?

Why Dating Femme Queer Women Is Not for the Weak /life/why-dating-femme-queer-women-is-not-for-the-weak/ Wed, 01 Jun 2022 13:30:00 +0000 /?p=274083 Queer femme women are that subculture of the lesbian identity that always gets overlooked becausee they don鈥檛 鈥look gay鈥 even though there鈥檚 no way to look gay. Anyway, if you find yourself in a talking stage with a femme queer woman, just be ready for the best time of your life, but with a sprinkle of heartbreak. 

She will cheat and you will beg her to stay

If you don鈥檛 want someone to break your heart anyhow, maybe next time, come to the world with a big bum bum so you won鈥檛 be looking for it outside. These babes don鈥檛 even lie after they cheat on you. They鈥檒l somehow make it your fault, and you鈥檒l still be begging them not to break up. After God, fear femme queer women. 

RELATED: You Can鈥檛 Miss These 7 Queer Women on Dating Apps

They will 鈥渁strology鈥 their way into your life

If you think you鈥檙e special because she sends you weekly affirmations for your star sign, my dear, you鈥檙e not. If she comes into your life and her first question is, 鈥淲hat time were you born?鈥 she wants to check your birth chart to find creative ways to ruin you. You can either run or enjoy the ride.

She鈥檒l never stop talking to her ex

In fact, you鈥檒l soon realise that half of her exes are yours too. Obviously, there鈥檚 nothing wrong with having a healthy relationship with your ex. It shows that you鈥檙e not childish. That鈥檚 until y鈥檃ll break up, and she dates that one ex of hers she told you nothing was going on with and all you can do is cry. 

Whatever game you think you’re playing, she鈥檚 already won

Just the thought of anyone thinking they can one up a femme queer woman has me screaming. They鈥檝e chopped and served every sort of breakfast known to man so they鈥檙e always guiding. Best believe that they鈥檝e anticipated your every move and checkmated you in their heads. 

You’re not half as important as her cat

Know this and make your peace with this. After you leave, her cat will still be there. Nevermind that they’re in an abusive, lowkey one-sided relationship, because, cats! Why would she pick you first? Don鈥檛 be that loser who tries to fight for her attention when she鈥檚 focused on her cat 鈥 which is every time. 

She’ll pull you, your friends and your mum

You鈥檙e a liar if you think you have more game than a femme queer woman. The amount of power they have is scary, but at least it’ll just have you in awe like she can have anyone, and she chose you? Mad! 

But it鈥檚 also a recipe for premium breakfast.

Forget everything you knew about sex

If you think you鈥檙e an expert in foki-foki, just wait until a femme woman sluts you out. You鈥檒l sit at the edge of the bed after thinking of your life while you consider calling your exes to apologise for all the bad sex you guys used to have.

7 Fun Activities You Can Plan for Pride Month in Nigeria /pop/7-fun-activities-you-can-plan-for-pride-month-in-nigeria/ Tue, 24 May 2022 13:30:00 +0000 /?p=273192 There are so many activities you can do for pride month without breaking the bank. From planning a picnic, speed dating or binge-watching queer movies. Here are seven fun activities you should try this Pride Month.

Organise a picnic with your friends

Write the names of all seven colours of the rainbow on individual stripes of paper. Make everyone pick a colour randomly and then have them bring food items in that exact colour and dress up in the same colour. If your friend group isn鈥檛 up to seven, invite more people 鈥 the more, the merrier. 

RELATED: Every Queer Friend Group Has One of These

Invite your friends to a party where they have to dress as their favourite musician

You don鈥檛 even have to spend much money. Ask everyone to come with something to share with others. Set up karaoke and have them sing along to the musician they鈥檙e dressed as. Nothing says pride like a bunch of queer people singing Odunsi (The Engine’s) 鈥渨icked, sexy!鈥 at the top of their lungs

Go to a poetry night

For queer people that enjoy reading and listening to poetry, you can attend any poetry night event or even host one yourself. Be ready to cry, laugh and have an all-around good experience listening to people’s stories and struggles.

Invite friends to binge-watch queer movies

You don鈥檛 need Pride to watch queer movies, of course, but Pride Month just makes binge-watching with your chosen family feel extra special. You have thirty whole days to go through as many full-length films, short films and animated films as possible. Be ready for the loud laughter, the God-when鈥檚, and the tears. 

Attend online pride events 

For people that can鈥檛 physically attend any event, you can live vicariously through an online Pride celebration. Just talking and being in the presence of people that understand you makes all the difference.

Do something nice for someone

You can donate to a safe house or any GoFundMe of your choice. Buy queer books for younger queer kids, and write letters to your friends or those your social media mutuals. Think of Pride as queer Christmas. 

Buy Pride merch from queer-owned companies 

It may cost a little more to patronise small queer businesses but think of it as giving back to the cause. Buy as many accessories or flags as you can afford for friends and try to have a good time.

How to Buy Your First Strap-on /ships/how-to-buy-your-first-strap-on/ Thu, 12 May 2022 11:42:14 +0000 /?p=272136 If you鈥檙e interested in exploring the fascinating world of strap-on dildos, your first time shopping for one can seem confusing. But it鈥檚 easier than you think. We’ve come up with these eight helpful tips to help you get through it. 

Ask all your questions

There鈥檚 no point in being shy. You鈥檝e already taken all the big steps by messaging the vendor / going to a sex-toy shop. No one is more qualified to answer your questions than the person selling it. 

RELATED: 6 Nigerian Men Tell Us What They Think About Pegging

Where is it getting delivered?

If you鈥檝e never had your package stolen before, you won鈥檛 understand how important this is. Some vendors package strap-ons discreetly and label them as something else like 鈥 Stockfish鈥 or 鈥淪hoes鈥 to throw people off, while others just wrap it as it is (shape, veins and all). Figure out the logistics of your delivery, abeg. 

No be you dey use am, no be you go pick the size or shape

Is it okay to own that 12-inch dildo with tentacles sprouting out from it? Yes. ? Totally. But your partner might not be into all that.  It鈥檚 important to ask the receiver’s opinion. If you鈥檙e both first time users, go with a smaller size in a non-realistic shape, so it’s easier to control. 

Make sure you get one made out of  suitable material

The material affects both the wearer and the receiver. You don鈥檛 want to break out in hives during sex because you鈥檙e allergic to latex. You can鈥檛 go wrong with silicone, but ask questions and make sure that it鈥檚 a material that is easy to clean. 

As a black person, don鈥檛 get a white dildo

No, for real. Why are you also trying to get rammed by coloniser penis? Pick nice colours. Buy a rainbow or skin coloured one. Hell, go crazy and get a basic purple one. Just make sure you like what you鈥檝e gotten. 

RELATED:

Let go of the money you鈥檙e about to spend

Don鈥檛 even think about the price. Just close your eyes and imagine all the good times you鈥檙e about to have. Remember that it鈥檚 an investment that will cost an arm and a leg, so get one that has all the fun features possible. Don鈥檛 look at your account balance after you purchase it. 

Get a good harness 

Also, ensure that it鈥檚 comfortable. If those complicated ones work for you, go for it. If it鈥檚 the leather or brief style harnesses that work, get those. Just make sure it鈥檚 compatible with the shape of the dildo you are getting. 

Practice how to wine your waist 

It will take some getting used to, so don鈥檛 rush into using it without enough practice. Stretch before you use it because your entire body will cramp up if you don鈥檛, which can be embarrassing as hell in the heat of the moment. 

Learn how to clean it

Now that you鈥檝e gotten all that out of the way make sure you clean your strap-on after every use. It’s just good hygiene. Also, that shit is expensive and cleaning it helps it last longer.
