Repost with alt text
Tumblr text post by user genderkoolaid that reads: in order to not succumb to sex negative conservatism you have to accept that people will get off to things that are upsetting to you. and you cannot assume anything about what they have or have not experienced, what they do or do not believe, and how they act based solely on what gets them off. even if it's extremely confusing and disturbing to you. there are people who have only ever had heterosexual vanilla sex in missionary with the lights off, who actively contribute to more real world harm than your average fetish artist. kink is not a reliable source of information on someone's moral standing. it just feels good to think that way.

I reorganised my entire room so I could relax after surgery, and I finally finished putting my monster high collection together today 🥰

I mainly collect g3 unless an older design really catches my eye.

Stitched frankie is still in the box for now 😅
