Love the excitement of sex positions, but don't have (or don't want) a current partner to explore with?
You're in luck! You can explore all new shapes with just your own body!
Swapping up your masturbation positions can expose new pleasure spots, make it easier to hit the spots you already love and keep your arm from going numb in that super-bendy go-to position you always use. You know the one.
Plus, the feeling of new places -- and new locations! -- can provide that erotic, "taboo" thrill that can amp up your solo sessions.
As if that wasn't enough of a benefit, experiencing pleasure in new positions and places can also be beneficial for partnered sex if you choose to have it down the line. Swapping up your usuals can keep the body from "muscle memory" that makes it difficult to orgasm in new positions.
It also gives you a full range of "go to moves" if you're ever masturbating in a new place -- like if you find an amazing hotel, visit your local kink club or end up with a solo quickie when you're out-and-about.
Ready to explore? Try these eight masturbation sex positions for people with vulvas!
(If you're a penis owner, some of these positions can work really well for you too! 

• 1. The Go Horizontal Position

• 2. The Sofa King Cool Position

• 3. The Your Royal Highness Position

• 4. The Legs in the Air Position

• 5. The Browse and Buzz Position

• 6. The Pillow Fuck Position

• 7. The Hole Lot of Love Position

• 8. The Ride'em All Position

• Bonus: The Head-to-Toe Position

Conclusion
Trying new positions for masturbation can give you access to yet-untapped erogenous zones, provide better access to your favourite places to pleasure, add a shot of adrenaline to your solo sessions and even make partnered sex more enjoyable (if you want to have it!). But perhaps the most important reason to try a new masturbation sex position is this:
You deserve to feel good.
Now go jerk off!

Reporters baffled by DOJ’s 'remarkable' decision not to charge Gaetz in sex trafficking case

Reporters are shocked by the Department of Justice (DOJ) decision to absolve insane wingnut pervert Matt Gaetz (w-FL) of sex trafficking charges after a nearly three-year-long investigation, Salon reports.
Per Politico, the DOJ began its investigation in November of 2020 after Gaetz had sex with a 17-year-old girl. More specifically, the agency was assigned to determine whether the congressman "paid her for it." 
Salon reports:

The Justice Department initially relied on the testimony of Gaetz's friend Joel Greenberg, a local Florida tax official who was charged with corruption but agreed to be a cooperating witness in the case.
As the investigation continued, federal officials found evidence that Gaetz regularly sought out young women for sex, which made their final decision not to press charges frustrating for Greenberg and his lawyer, Fritz Scheller.

According to Salon, Scheller was not surprised.
He said, "While the decision is troubling, it's not surprising. After so many years of defense practice, I've slowly come to the realization that our country has a two-tier system of justice. To be fair, why expend resources prosecuting the privileged, when there's undoubtedly a minority out there with a small amount of pot?"
However, unlike Scheller, reporters were shocked.

Everyone Is Taking This Drug to Lose Weight. Instead, It's Rapidly Aging Their Faces.

• Ozempic, a medication used to treat type 2 diabetes, is being used off-label as a weight-loss drug.

• Some people on the drug say they’ve developed “Ozempic face,” which is a gaunt look.

• Treating the side effect can be tricky.

Ozempic is a medication that’s designed to help manage insulin levels in people with type 2 diabetes. However, it’s recently gotten attention after a slew of people spoke out on social media about using the drug for weight loss.
Ozempic, which is a brand name for semaglutide, is currently on the Food and Drug Administration’s list of drug shortages, and many have pointed the finger at people using the medication off-label for weight loss as the reason it’s hard to find at the moment. Now, there are reports of another controversy surrounding Ozempic and similar drugs: Some people say it’s given them an unwanted side effect that’s been dubbed “Ozempic face.”
But what is Ozempic face, exactly, and why does it happen? Doctors break it down.

The Largest Halibut Ever Caught

Halibut is one of the most sought-after game around and is known for its intense fighting while on the line! These fish can grow absolutely huge, adding even more excitement for anglers looking to catch one of these deep-sea fish. Today, we are going to be looking at some of the records surrounding the halibut, specifically, how late they can get. Let’s discover the largest halibut ever caught, plus a bit of information about these interesting fish.
The largest halibut ever caught on record is a Pacific halibut caught by Jack Tragis off Dutch Harbor, Alaska, in June 1996. According to the International Game Fish Association (IGFA), this fish weighed in at a staggering 459 pounds, making it the all-tackle world record holder for this species. This is roughly equivalent to the weight of a full-grown adult Grizzly bear or two adult humans! There was another halibut that was caught off the coast of Alaska in 2003 that was reportedly larger, although the fish wasn’t officially documented and therefore isn’t listed on the records lists.

'Dominator' - The Biggest Crocodile in the World, and as Big as a Rhino

• The largest crocodile in the world is 22 feet long and can weigh up to 2,200 pounds.
• The second largest crocodile is 20 feet three inches long from nose to tail.
• The average typical estuarine crocodiles grow to be between 10 and 16 feet long.

The largest crocodile in the world, the estuarine crocodile, or “saltie,” is 22 feet long and can weigh up to 2,200 pounds. Other crocodile species include the dwarf crocodile, which is less than six feet long, and the saltwater crocodile.
The warmer tropical waters of the Southern Hemisphere’s wetland ecosystems are home to a range of crocodile species. Because they are unable to control their body temperature inside, they rely largely on the sun to rewarm their bodies after they have submerged themselves in water to chill them.
That brings us to the beautiful country of Australia. While the country down under is known for animals such as koalas and kangaroos, one crocodile seems to stand out. Meet Dominator. Dominator, a 20-foot crocodile that weighs more than a metric ton, is reputedly the second-largest crocodile ever seen. 
Australia’s saltwater croc populations are expanding, and the Adelaide River is one of the nation’s densely populated regions. Images of a massive crocodile ripping a pig in half before eating it made headlines throughout the world last year.
In comparison to Lolong, who is held captive in the Philippines, he is only three inches shorter. He was caught in 2011, and at 20 feet three inches long from nose to tail, he is the largest crocodile ever recorded.
This big croc lives in the murky waters of the Adelaide River and likes to show off for tourist boats. While this giant croc will have your jaw on the floor, he's not the only one in the area. His rival is named Brutus and is ever so slightly smaller than Dominator. One thing's for sure – you won't catch me swimming in the Adelaide River.

Conspiracy theory claims China has found new land full of Dinosaurs

Social media has become a breeding ground for conspiracy theories, and now one woman is trying to convince viewers that China has unearthed a land of dinosaurs.
The woman claimed the world is in for a "rude awakening" in the viral TikTok that's racked up over 80,000 views.
"China found uncharted land that has been untouched with dinosaur bones and other species found some of these species have a height of 13 feet tall the USA has not said anything about it," she wrote as the caption, before urging people to leave the so-called land "untouched".
"Wait, please stop – so no one is talking about this, no one. You guys won't believe," she told viewers. "I was at the nail salon the other day and I heard some shocking news."
She went on to explain that while she was at the nail salon, the technicians were watching the "Chinese news" which prompted her to use a translator app on her phone.
"The Chinese have discovered unchartered land – I'm talking about land untouched," she says, claiming it said there were "dinosaur-like creatures" living there.
"This information isn't even available in the USA, I cannot find any source," she added, before claiming her nail tech "confirmed" the news with further baseless remarks there were "hundreds or thousands" of these creatures.

Editor's Note: There is a lot of lands full of dinosaurs -one is depicted above - just check the Sci-Fi section on any video service and you're going to find them easily.

Meanwhile, in scientifically backed news, experts have reportedly discovered a giant dinosaur footprint on the Yorkshire coastline, marking the largest ever found in the region.
The footprint was said to be left by a meat-eating theropod from the Jurassic period, according to Sky News.
Lead researcher and local geologist John Hudson said: "This important discovery adds further evidence that meat-eating giants once roamed this area during the Jurassic.
"The type of footprint, combined with its age, suggests that it was made by a ferocious Megalosaurus-like dinosaur, with a possible hip height between two and a half and three meters."

Researchers think alien civilizations might be creating black holes to store quantum data

A new paper has proposed an absolutely wild idea. What if aliens are creating black holes to use as quantum storage? It sounds crazy, but some scientists say it could give us a solution to the Fermi Paradox, which essentially states that if life is common in our universe, why have we not found evidence of it beyond Earth?
This paradox has caused quite a few ripples throughout the scientific community, especially within parts that believe alien life is out there, just waiting to be discovered. The new paper has yet to be peer-reviewed, but it was created by a team of German and Georgian scientists who say we may be looking in the wrong direction in our search for alien life.

Testosterone Supplements: Hype, but No Erection Benefits

Many men believe that supplemental testosterone improves erections, but a robust literature says it does not. The FDA considers testosterone over-prescribed.
Myth: It improves erections. Truth: It boosts desire, but not function.

• Many men believe that supplemental testosterone improves erections.

• This is true only for men with clearly demonstrated clinical deficiency.

• Around 7 percent of men are clinically deficient, but prescriptions of testosterone have quadrupled since 2000.

• The FDA says the hormone is over-prescribed.

You probably know that the male sex hormone, testosterone, plays a pivotal role in men’s sexuality. Consequently, when men develop erectile dysfunction (ED), many assume the cause is testosterone deficiency. They believe supplementation offers a quick fix, and many doctors are willing to prescribe it.
However, a large recent study (Macdowall 2022) shows that testosterone supplementation provides no erection boost. The hormone plays a clear role in sexual desire and frequency of self-sexing, but has no impact on sexual function, particularly on erections.

Come To The Board And Strip!

In What The Porn Set Chalkboard Tells Us About Ourselves, the legendary porn journalist and blogger Gram Ponante shares his brief reflections, with photographic examples, on the absurdity of modern porn being shot on sets that are shallow parodies of a 1970s classroom, complete with dusty chalkboards:

Most places at which cheapie porn movies are shot have several customizable rooms. There’s the jail cell/dungeon, the bedroom, the doctor’s office (which can double as a regular office once the crew removes the hanging skeleton and poster from Gray’s Anatomy), and the classroom.
If you have been inside a classroom in the past 20 years, you’ll still see a chalkboard but it is hardly ever used. There’s a projector, there’s assignments on Google Classroom to tackle with Chromebooks, and there’s endless Youtube videos the teacher looks up on the fly when there’s more time to kill. Most teachers can’t remember the last time they used chalk.
Yet here we are, in a world in which fully-matured women above the age of eighteen are still required to dress in school uniforms (this did not happen when I took that floral design class at Glendale Community College) and the writing on the chalkboard is entirely a response to that FOMO feeling of, “We have this chalkboard; shouldn’t we write something on it?”

It genuinely is one of the most absurd tropes in a creative artform that is rich with them. And yet who doesn’t enjoy a porn starlet pretending to be a naughty student?

Two Ways to Close the "Pleasure Gap" in Your Love Life

Understanding what brings you pleasure is an important step towards better sexual experiences.
The female orgasm is not a mystery, we just assume it is.

• According to a study, a sexual script serves the role of a safeguard or a guideline in unknown sexual situations.

• Compared to men, women experience 20-50 percent fewer orgasms in heterosexual encounters.

• Tips to help experience gratifying sex that does not undermine pleasure or orgasm include self-understanding and communication.

A new study published in the Journal of Sex and Marital Therapy attempts to explain why the orgasm gap persists despite efforts to integrate clitoral knowledge into a couple’s sex lives. The study cites gendered sexual scripts as a major obstacle in closing the orgasm gap.
A sexual script, according to the study, serves the role of a safeguard or a guideline in unknown sexual situations. The study hypothesizes that gendered sexual scripts constitute a significant barrier to closing the pleasure gap for the following reasons:

These Astrological Signs Are More Likely To Have Sex on the First Date,

What’s your sign? It may be a cliché to talk about it on a first date (or an online dating profile for that matter) but it may actually play a part in your sexual preferences.
A recent study of 2,000 adults by sexual wellness brand Lovehoney looked at which respondents said they have sex on the first encounter — and what their astrological signs are. It found that the sign of the goat, born Dec. 22 to Jan. 20, Capricorn, took the lead as most likely to give it up on the first date with 55 percent.

Where the Bishop Got Its Cleft

The chess piece shown is the bishop. Some sets have a cleft in the bishop and others don't. The classic Staunton chess set has the cleft. Redditor BroodyDoggo asked what it is for in the AnarchyChess subreddit. The answers they got were priceless.

Keep doritos in them for a midgame snack. A rook can be used to hold very small amount of salsa.
insert a coin there to power up your bishop
To use as a whistle when the opponent breaks rules
It's for holding the card you can apply to a bishop for bonusses
It's obviously the mouth
If you want to give your date (the chess term for "opponent") your number/note after a sexy match.
It’s a scar from a previous game
Aerodynamics, for when the bishop “Whooshes” across the board

But the real answer is that it is made to resemble a catholic bishop's Mitre, a headdress which has a front and back separated by a cleft. That's when we found out that more people than you'd suspect had never associated the bishop in a chess set with the cult hierarchy. As a practical matter, the cleft makes it easier to distinguish the bishop from a pawn.
However, if we go further back into chess history, we find that the piece only became known as the bishop when the game spread to European cultures in the Middle Ages, and it got its name because it looked like a Mitre to people familiar with bishops. Before that, it was the elephant, and indeed is still called the elephant in many countries. The Middle Eastern chess sets of the time were highly stylized, and the elephant was not a recognizable shape to Europeans. In some countries, this piece is called the camel. Now you know.

The Futuristic Cities Being Built Right Now

We love imagining the future. Whether it comes in tech, setting, or even culture, we love showing off our different takes on how mankind will survive in the coming years. From utopian and dystopian fiction shows and novels to how architects and engineers build cities right now, there is no shortage of how we envision our daily lives in the future. 
In recent years, we’ve noticed a trend of announcements from different firms as they launch new projects that showcase their new take on metropolitan areas. AD has listed their picks for the most interesting projects and proposals for futuristic cities. 
From Mexico’s Smart Forest City to Saudi Arabia’s 100-mile-long linear city called The Line, these areas, once fully built, will definitely be super cool to visit!

Blinding Headlights Are A Real Problem

Anyone who got flashed with a car’s high beams knows that they are so bright to the point that you can be blinded. We do need them to see dark places, though. 
These blinding headlights are a big reason why people have a hard time seeing clearly while driving at night. Because people keep buying taller vehicles, the headlights will continue to get higher.
Following the taller vehicles are how headlights will be placed. According to Matt Brumbelow, a senior research engineer at the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, these fixtures can be misaligned. “There’s no testing to make sure that it’s still aimed properly or that it’s putting out enough light on the road and it’s not glaring other drivers,” he stated.
If we add the height of new vehicles being sold in the market, and how their headlights are placed, then there’s a big chance that these lights can cause more harm than necessary and can make driving difficult at night. 
A solution is now being pushed to solve this problem. America’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has required automakers to sell vehicles that have adaptive driving beam headlights. These new lights can adjust the intensity of their brightness to avoid blinding people.

The Gruesome Case That Inspired Poe's "The Black Cat"

Edgar Allan Poe's haunting short story "The Black Cat" was first published in The Saturday Evening Post in August of 1843. It concerns a man who abuses his one-eyed black cat, and in so doing manages to kill his wife. He tries to cover up the murder by hiding her body in the wall of the cellar, closing up the wall before the police arrive. But the cat manages to get revenge. You can read the entire story online.
"The Black Cat" is fiction, but Poe took inspiration from real events. It just so happened that the year before, a sensational story about a woman's remains found plastered into a cellar wall was syndicated in newspapers across the country. Poe's account expands upon the crime, and adds the twist of the cat, but the bones of the story are there in a real-life report from Connecticut. Tales immediately grew up around the true crime, and were even published, many of which have since been debunked. Read what we know and what has never been discovered about the case that inspired Poe's terrifying tale at CrimeReads.  

They Tried to Hang Him Three Times

The case of Joseph Samuel stands out among Australian executions of the 19th century. Samuel was an Englishman, or rather an English boy, sent to a penal settlement at Sydney Cove for a crime committed in 1795 when he was 14 years old. But he was a man in Australia, and continued to commit crimes at the colony, where security was pretty lax due to authorities with the mindset of "Where can they go?"

After being convicted of the brutal murder of a policeman, Samuel was led to the gallows. Yet despite rope inspections, the hanging failed over and over again. Was it divine intervention after Samuel's last-minute prayers? Was it a trick arranged ahead of time? Samuel had already tried a last-minute stunt to deflect blame for the crime. What should be the legal remedy in such a case? Read about the crimes of Joseph Samuels, the mysteriously botched execution, and what ultimately became of him at Amusing Planet.
