H A P P Y ~ B I R T H D A Y ~ HARRY!

[birdsofshore]

Our beloved Harry is 33 today.

So I wrote him a 10,000 word PWP set in the Room of Requirement as a present XD

Title: Unknown Pleasures
Author/Artist: birdsofshore
Word Count: ~10,500
Rating: NC-17
Summary: The Room of Requirement was definitely broken. Why else would it be presenting Harry with a whip, some handcuffs, a blindfold, and a... what exactly was that thing, anyway?
At hd_cliche which began posting today, and continues for the next two weeks, yay!

And this video is not related to Harry's birthday, but I'm sure he'd approve. It compares porn sex to real sex. It's not exactly WS, but is in no way explicit at all (and is both interesting and funny)

The food all looked so good! :D

That part didn't surprise me; I would have expected anal to be comparatively low. Bondage is a really mainstream kink, I would say - and it's easy and harmless. Anal by comparison can be difficult, painful, and risky to health. But the whole video is about mistaken perceptions, so mine may be wrong as well!

The one that probably surprised me most was how few women swallow semen.

My impression was probably based on the fact that I absolutely love anal sex (it feels better for me than vaginal, tbh), and while I like bondage too, I had been under the impression that there was more of a cultural taboo against it. *shrugs* Who knows?

Maybe the low number there is affected by the fact that semen can't be swallowed when condoms are used during oral sex (like, for example, if you're doing it for someone you don't know the medical history of). So safe-sex-conscious women who aren't in a steady relationship would definitely not be swallowing semen. So if you add that to the number of women who just don't want to do it/think it's gross/whatever, the percentage of women who swallow goes down. *Ponders*

Yes, you're right about the swallowing, of course! How we respond to these figures is going to vary wildly based on our own experiences, and I've been in a monogamous relationship for - wow - nearly 14 years O.o

I think anal sex is a lot less taboo than it used to be because of porn becoming more mainstream. I still would have said bondage is really tame, and something most people will have tried - especially after 50 shades.
