Gets her salad tossed
In the shower, high on psilocybin, I ate ass for the first time.

So you have an STBBI. I love you.
At one of the local clinics where I work, we have a sign that says “Shame Free Zone.”
STBBI stands for sexually transmitted and blood-borne infections. Just like there are various types of STBBIs, there are also various ways to both transmit and pick them up. Stigma around STBBIs is still rampant today.

Sex after heartbreak
After we share our life with another person for a significant period of time and choose to part ways, we must grieve this loss. The initial fear may be loneliness: to be apart from your bedtime companion and the lips you want to kiss after a long, lousy day. But to transition out of this love and familiar touch is a reminder to come home again to ourselves, for we have not left. We were always here, and will always be here.
