I wish we could end this month on a happy note. With everything going on in the world, it is important to acknowledge the injustice around us and stand up for a cause.
Here at Emojibator, we stand for pleasure for all. Everyone deserves access to finding a healthy way to express their sexuality. That’s why masturbation month is so important to us. It has become a resource for people to find answers and inspiration. So much that this year we even had our first feature in the Rolling Stone.
Since we are all collectively surviving a pandemic and contained to our homes, we have seen a rise in sex toy sales. People are taking their time to explore themselves and look inward. If you take a moment to muse over this year’s articles, you will see a lot focusing on mindfulness and self-care. If you have the privilege of comfort and security, take advantage of this time to care for yourself and others. And remember, for BIPOC, pleasure in itself IS a form of protest.
I’ve personally been looking forward to May. The craziness of editing, posting, and creating for this website is always a highlight for me. It was a break from the mundane. I, like many other Americans, lost my main source of income and am currently battling unemployment. Masturbation month was a release. Seeing how so many people embrace their pleasure was beautiful.
As we move on to June (Pride Month!!) remember to take care of each other and stand together through whatever comes our way.
XOXO
