Do Men Dream of Electric Sexbots?

Do Men Dream of Electric Sexbots?

lustery.com — Alexa sets my alarms. Alexa keeps me up to date on the news. Alexa reads me to sleep at night. And, if one day, Alexa grows a pair of legs, walks up to me, and says, "Do you want a blowjob?" I'll say, "Do bears shit in the woods?"

The Kink of the Kink-less

The Kink of the Kink-less

lustery.com — I lost my passion for public sex after an elderly woman glared me down on a transatlantic flight once she'd realized that my girlfriend was not asleep in my lap. I suppose I could have tried to lie - to say that my girlfriend had a neck condition that made her head bob up and down in her sleep - but I was too busy orgasming.

My Girlfriend's Cute Aggression

My Girlfriend's Cute Aggression

lustery.com — My girlfriend won't stop biting me. She calls it "cute aggression". To her credit, it's a real thing. It's when you want to crush, squeeze, punch, or eat excessively adorable things. Working against her: it doesn't have much to do with biting a very full-grown, very hairy, very un-cute boyfriend.

The Mundane Art of Masturbation

The Mundane Art of Masturbation

lustery.com — When I was a kid, my uncle had a cyst on his knee. Every few days, it needed to be drained. When we'd visit, friends and family would gather around to watch him squeeze it until puss shot out onto a paper towel. To us, it was majestic.

Dick Pic-ers Anonymous

Dick Pic-ers Anonymous

lustery.com — When I was growing up, the idea of sending a dick pic to a stranger was beyond comprehension. Not because of any ethical dilemma - no, no, it's because if you wanted to send an anonymous dick pic, you'd have to use a camera, get it developed, and then pull some crime-caper bullshit where you slip it into someone's purse on the street.

Do Men Really Want a FFM Threesome

Do Men Really Want a FFM Threesome

lustery.com — The prospect of a girl-girl-guy three-way gives me heartburn. I don't know if you know this, but that's four boobs. I'm more than happy to let the devil in, though. That's only two dicks, and one of them is mine. I know what to do with a dick-but four boobs?

Brood Sex

Brood Sex

lustery.com — Cicadas are obese, sex-deprived, creepy butterflies that are about to slip into everyone's DMs. They are unique among plants, animals, reptiles, and insects in that scientists have decoded the full scope of their cicada language. It consists of two words: Let's fuck.

Why Don't Men Cuddle with Men?

Why Don't Men Cuddle with Men?

lustery.com — Look, I'm not saying you want to fuck your dog. I'm just asking the question: Do you want to fuck your dog? Wait, sorry. Hold on, let me start from the beginning. There is a man I work with. I'll call him Mr. Gordon. He is big, broad-shouldered and sweaty.

Why Do Our Child Brains Want to Have Sex with Disney Characters?

Why Do Our Child Brains Want to Have Sex with Disney Characters?

lustery.com — The first time I watched Disney's The Sword in the Stone , I was entranced. The magic, the adventure, and that saucy little minx with do-me eyes. You know who I'm talking about-yeah, that squirrel. That fuckable little nut fiend-ah! Oh god, ew. Sorry. Forget I said that. Let me start over.

Rediscovering America on a 3,000 Mile Road Trip

Rediscovering America on a 3,000 Mile Road Trip

Human Parts — I am from America. One Nation, Under God. I don't live in America anymore though. I live in far-away countries that are sometimes under God, but mostly under skies, clouds, stars, the sun, the moon, and sometimes birds.

8 Things To Remember When You Feel Like Giving Advice

Thought Catalog — If you want to love others and be loved, sometimes people are going to have problems, and you're the one they'll come to. These are delicate moments where you can either become a support system or change the course of your relationship for the worse.

5 Dead Giveaways That You're Bad In Bed

5 Dead Giveaways That You're Bad In Bed

Thought Catalog — Hollywood lies about sex. If Idris Elba and Beyoncé had sex in a movie, there would be sweat that glistens instead of stinks, hair that flows over the pillow instead of sticking out at all angles like a dog-licked Elmo doll. Idris Elba would say something sexy like, "I'm gonna do bad things to you," instead of "ah!

Cointelegraph — Holochain has been in the works since before the Bitcoin whitepaper and now it is being released on the world. There is no mining, no cryptocurrency and it c...

Why does Bitcoin have Value?

Why does Bitcoin have Value?

Hacker Noon — The main reasons brought up for this is that they both have a limited supply. Just as gold cannot be simply reprinted, neither can Bitcoin. Gold is mined by a bunch of people in a dark corner of the earth using heavy machinery to mine ore. Bitcoin is mined by a bunch of people in some dark warehouse using heavy machines to solve complex algorithms. Gold is the valuable and shiny product of processing a raw element, while Bitcoin is the valuable and shiny product of organizing raw data.

American VS. Russian dad jokes

American VS. Russian dad jokes

Russia Beyond — Our American writer living in St. Petersburg investigated what things Russian dads poked fun at and if they were any different from the things dads in the U.S. laughed at. Do dads from either sides of the pond share the same hackneyed bad jokes and poor wordplay?

Russian moms VS. American moms: How different are their rules?

Russian moms VS. American moms: How different are their rules?

Russia Beyond — Moms are always right. Why? Because they said so. No ifs, ands, or buts, it's just the way it is. You can argue, but you'll always lose. That was the way it was for me growing up. Yet, as I grew, I learned that everyone I'd ever met, when pressed, admitted to me that their mom, too, was always right.

What Russians don't understand about American racism (OP-ED)

Who does conspiracy theories best: Russia or the U.S.?

Who does conspiracy theories best: Russia or the U.S.?

Russia Beyond — Conspiracy theories used to mean something. They used to be fascinating rabbit holes to fall into with a dark-web community of friendless middle-aged men in basements across the world. These days, conspiracy theories are peddled like hotcakes by the media, social networks and world leaders to ignore facts, convolute narratives and push propaganda.

'Davai' - the trickiest word in the Russian Language

Russia Beyond — I worked at a children's camp for a bit in 2018. There was a Russian version of one of those children's toys in the back of the room that tells you the sound animals make: the cow goes moo, the chicken goes cluck, the cat goes meow, and so on.

6 Russian habits that'll make you look like a WEIRDO in America

Russia Beyond — When you live in any culture long enough, you pick up habits. In Russia, some of these habits can turn you into an awkward, and sometimes rude, guest in other countries. An American living in St. Petersburg shares his observations.

OPINION: U.S. russophobia needs to stop

OPINION: U.S. russophobia needs to stop

Russia Beyond — Did you see that bit on American late-night talk shows where they made fun of women wearing Hijabs in Iran? No? That's because it didn't happen. How about the time that the media went around mocking Kim Jong Un's accent? Wait, that didn't happen either. Then why does this exist?
