Hello there! Lovelyyy to meet you, my name is Rubyyy Jones and I'm going to be your non-expert, sex expert here on Rarely Wears Lipstick. I'm planning on covering a range of topics about sex, sexuality and sexual identity and would also love to hear from you, in the comments or on twitter, about what... Continue Reading →
If the covers of the best selling women's magazines were to be believed, you'd think we were all on a quest to have better sex. Even if that's true, the thing is... we don't all want to do it their way. Trying a new position, completing a quiz or sifting through lists of tips to... Continue Reading →
Years ago when I first started reading around this subject, I spent a lot of time wondering what made me like this. I like to overthink a subject. BDSM in mainstream fiction is pretty much exclusively portrayed as a sickness from which the poor deviant must be cured, and recently Fifty Shades has broadcast that... Continue Reading →

Yesterday I had the misfortune of reading Daniel Warner's dreadful piece for the Huffington Post, entitled Bisexuality: Is It Fun, Non Committal or Just Plain Greedy? It contains so many bisexual myths and clichés that I started to wonder if the Huffington Post does any quality control whatsoever. Apparently, not only can bi people not... Continue Reading →
Part 4 of a 6-part series on aspects of fashion theory, specifically cultural studies and object analysis. Written partly to reassure myself that I do understand the concepts and partly to help clarify things for others, this post is based on notes I took during a lecture at London College of Fashion by Dr Agnès...
