Pussy Party 3!

We keep having awesome events in St. Louis! Let me tell you something about hosting edgy, sexually themed events in the Midwest – it’s a little bit frustrating.

Herpes Hangout!

We all know about smoking the customary after sex cigarette. But what do you do after phone sex? You eat waffles, that’s what! We here at SEX+HQ have always found waffles to be very sexy.

Clever book designs featuring vulva…

“I’m always strangely delighted by clever book designs that involve the vulva,” says the gay male book designer. There’s something, er, ripe about the vulva that makes clever interpretations so damned engaging. The same simply cannot be said for graphic interpretations of the penis. Aside from Andy Warhol’s Velvet Underground album cover (see the bottom […]
