Sex Blogger of the Month: GJ of Girly Juice

Each and every month, Kinkly strives to bring you the best of the best Sex Bloggers. This month, we are featuring GJ from Girly Juice. GJ's sex positive outlook and informative posts are two of the many reasons that GJ is our Sex Blogger of the Month. Here are GJ's answers to Kinkly's 10 questions!

Kinkly: Give us three words that describe your blog.

GJ: Feminine, positive and whimsical!

Kinkly: What inspired you to start the blog?

GJ: After high school, I realized I had no idea what I wanted to study in post-secondary school or what I hoped to end up doing as a career. I panicked and took a year off before going back to school, during which I largely felt aimless and confused. While applying to an endless array of part-time jobs, I stumbled across a job opening at my local feminist sex shop, and applied. While they didn't end up hiring me, I did some research about sex toys in the interim to make sure I'd be well-informed for a potential job interview. All that Googling led me to the discovery of sex toy review blogs. I thought, "Hey, I could do this!" and the rest is history.

Kinkly: What's behind the name?

GJ: "Girly juice" is what an ex of mine used to call my vaginal fluids. The phrase appealed to me as a blog name because it's simultaneously sexy and goofy – exactly the kind of vibe I try to get across in my writing.

Kinkly: Who's your target reader?

GJ: A smart, feminist sex nerd who's invested in her own pleasure and self-improvement in all areas of life, but especially sexually. I'm using female pronouns to describe her because I write about fashion and beauty from time to time, but let's be real: there are folks of all bodies and genders who appreciate lipstick and pretty dresses!

Kinkly: What's unique about your blog?

GJ: I think we find our unique voice by pursuing what authentically fascinates us, and that's what I do with my blog. It's about sex toys, sexuality, relationships, fashion, beauty, mental health, self-improvement, and nerdy shit – all of which are things I'm interested in but which aren't often combined into one blog or publication. I also have a blog feature called Dildoface, which is dildo-inspired makeup tutorials. I'm pretty sure that I'm the first person in the history of the world to ever do that!

Kinkly: What is the topic you find yourself covering most often and why?

GJ: Probably just masturbation in general. It's my best-developed skill and my favorite hobby! (Kidding... sorta.) I started out writing mostly about sex toys, and that's still a huge focus of my blog. Obviously masturbation is strongly connected to that. I also view masturbation as a metaphor for, and manifestation of, self-love and self-help – so it's something I write about from that perspective as well.
