Girls With Slingshots

C’mon, Hazel, you knew exactly what Mimi was talking about. Look at those Cetacean eyes.

Hey, so I have another review for those of you who enjoy the more vibrateable things in life! If you’re not one of those people, put on your earmuffs.

I know I’ve been a little Jimmyjane-centric with these reviews so far, but their products have been blowing me away, so Jimmyjane it is! Hello, Form 3.

It’s like the most natural progression after my Form 2 review. I mean, besides numerically. The Form 2 (henceforth known as my BFF) is the one with the pair of vibrators nestled in a set of handsome bunny-rabbit ears (what is it with girls and bunnies?), and offers a pretty intense amount of vibration. It’s… it’s like a difficult video game, but one that you can’t put down.

I still don’t think I’ve set it to its highest setting. I’m okay with waiting, but… it may be awhile before I beat this game. I’m afraid of this happening.

So that’s where the Form 3 comes in. I was warned that it’s “more subtle” and I might not be as into it. So I tried it and… yes, the first setting is sweet, and soft. Perfect for a more sensitive gal. It reminded me of… high school. Y’know, when you only felt comfortable diddling yourself through clothes? (God bless the return of corduroys!) It was like that.

Oh, BUT! I forgot that it has 5 power levels, just like the Form 2! So: no no no, this lovely item is not incapable of making a girl squirm with glee. It’s just that the Form 3 is very considerate, and likes to start off slow. It doesn’t want to scare you off, it wants to be your friend first. Look! It’s shaped like a tongue. A tongue that feeds you poetry and cake. Because that’s what tongues do.

So if you’re the kind of girl who just wants a little extra hell-yeah on her buzz-button – without the intensity of a palm sander (my favorite!) – this is the perfect gift for you. Oh, and the center is flexible! Look!

So here are the same stats I gave the Form 2, ’cause they’re all the same:

So there you have it! Ladies, sensitive ladies, this little at-first-you-think-it’s-gay-but-turns-out-it-really-likes-girls toy is just for you.

One more note! This is… well, this is a little personal, so ladies, come in close. WE’RE JUST TALKING ABOUT LIP GLOSS, BOYS, GO AWAY.

Are some of you, like… a little scared of stuffing a gigantic toy up your hoo-hah? This time “hoo-hah” means “vagina.” Yeah? Okay, some ladies only like ‘em big when they’re attached to a human being. I get it. I get you. Maybe you want a nice little “I’m inside of you but don’t be scared” toy for penetration, yeah?

This is a good toy for that. You don’t have to use a vibrator JUST for external stimulation! You can let our little friend Form 3 play doctor with you. It’s small enough that it won’t freak you out, but big and vibrate-y enough to be like “Hey, I’m in here! I love it in here, you taste like candy and you’re the perfect size and I love you.” Just what you wanted to hear, right? Right.

And PS, hey, everyone! I can’t reiterate enough: ONLY use water-based lubes with silicone toys! Unless you like fuckin’ a stick covered in superglue. (I’m sure that’s a kink, but I’m not looking it up this time!)

This seemed like the perfect opportunity to introduce you to Girlfuck by Erika Moen. NSFW! That means Fun For The Home Office!

Erika is a good friend of mine who I greatly admire, both in her art and her excellent storytelling as well as her contagious sex-positive attitude. I got to know (and love!) her strip DAR way back when, and now she’s doing this strip called Bucko, in case you didn’t know! It’s written by Jeff Parker and I believe they just wrapped it up, so you can read the whole damn thing from the beginning!

Anyway, Girlfuck is this fantastic educational pamphlet on lesbian sex (though it certainly crosses over for the straights!) and she shares a rather clever use for latex gloves that I absolutely LOVE! Enjoy!

So for those of you who are new (hello!), there’s this little story arc from awhile ago that explains how Restless Leg Syndrome is an STI* in the fictional land of Girls With Slingshots… kind of!

Here’s the scoop: when I was writing that storyline, I was doing a LOT of research on STI’s (never Google image search that shit). Around that time, a lot of people I know were being diagnosed with HSV II.

Man, lemme tell you, if you don’t already know first-hand, the stigma behind herpes is awful! A lot of people only see that stigma, and because there doesn’t seem to be a whole lot of information about herpes (or rather, lots and lots of contradicting information), telling your partner that you have it can make some people really freak out!

The truth is, herpes is a bummer, but the way I see it, it’s about as harmless as giving your partner athlete’s foot. So, since the stigma is already there for herpes (and because all the strips I wrote about herpes sounded more sad than funny), I swapped the real STI out for a fake one. And I picked Restless Leg Syndrome because, while I’m sure some actual RLS sufferers may be a little miffed by it (sorry guys!), I wanted to pick a real problem that is more likely to be an inconvenience than a serious medical issue.

My backup was Spontaneous Eyebrow Syndrome. I kind of resent not picking Spontaneous Eyebrow Syndrome.

tl;dr: Restless Leg Syndrome is real but it is not sexually transmitted, and herpes isn’t that big a deal.

*the new term for STD; the “I” stands for “infection” rather than “disease.”
