Hi everyone!
So far I have been using mainly water-based lubes but I thought about getting some unrefined coconut oil because a lot of people here are using it. How much are you using approximately?
I‘m test-running the coconut oil and it‘s fine but doesn’t feel as slippery as the water-based lubes I‘ve tried so far. Or am I just doing something wrong somehow?
So the weather is getting warmer where I live which means I’m leaving the house way more to do stuff, meet people and just enjoy the sun. The topic about being around other people while plugged comes up in this community here and there and I’ve also been thinking about it of course.
The switch from being apprehensive and nervous to just going out without so much as a second thought came really quickly from me. I guess because the plug is much more of a helpful tool for grounding and something like an accessory (or extension of the body) to me most of the time - especially when I’m occupied with chores, events or get-togethers.
I think this is also influenced by growing up in a culture where nakedness is not always associated with sexual contexts. There are plenty of nude beaches, people tan nude in their gardens or shirtless in parks. Nude saunas are also the norm. It’s pretty normal for me that bodies are just bodies, butts are just butts and buttholes are just another one of our holes in our bodies. We are free to do with our bodies as we want, accessorize it or modify it. We pierce our skin, we tattoo ourselves with inks, so why not also plug our holes? I tend to think of the plug more like a hidden accessory that I’m wearing just for myself. I wouldn’t be ashamed if I had a tunnel or plug as an ear piercing. So why shouldn’t I wear another type of plug?
This does not mean that I’d go out and involve anyone else (who isn’t consenting) in me wearing a plug because it’s still an object that carries that sexual association for most people. I still pick and choose where and when it is appropriate or isn’t for me and I’d never risk the chance of accidentally exposing this habit to anyone else who doesn’t already know and consent.
What are your thoughts on this? Do you think similarly or in a different way when it comes to this?
