If you missed it over on Instagram… “(No) Sex on the Beach”, the second letter of our new advice column FEELINGS INVOLVED was published yesterday on our blog!
"My girlfriend of two years doesn’t seem to want to have sex when we’re on holiday. We’re not even fighting or having a bad time. I tried to talk to her about it but she got defensive..."
Curious to read on? Then go to our Insta story for the FULL letter and a link to our blog!!!
This weekend we spoke to pro domme Emma Steel about her work at Studio Lux, how s*x work has been affected by the Corona pandemic, and what we can do to support s*x workers in and beyond the covid crisis.
More about Emma: Emma has been working as a pro domme for 16 years - and has offered workshops for much longer. She is one of three co founders of SM Studio LUX where courses about s*x, BDSM, fetish, s*x work practise and much more take place. Being in solidarity in times of crisis is important to her - and the crisis did start long before the pandemic.

"I have a lifetime of paralyzing FOMO... I will meet a nice guy, develop chemistry with him... then pick out minute flaws and drop him like a gay hot potato."
Curious to hear Kitty's advice? Don't miss it!

FEELINGS INVOLVED, our NEW sex & relationships column with Kitty May is launching in - count 'em - 4 DAYS!
Kitty loves to bust sex myths and question relationship scripts while providing accurate information, heartfelt reassurance, and, where possible, memorable metaphors.
*Got a question for Kitty?*
If you'd like to get Kitty's take on a problem, concern or question, you can submit a letter! Kitty – and our readers – want to hear a bit about you and your context: What is the background story to this problem? How is it making you feel? What outcome do you wish for, and what have you tried already to resolve the issue?
Letters should be around 200-300 words in length, can be submitted in English or German, and may be edited for length or translated before publication. Submissions are treated with complete confidentiality and are anonymised before they are read by Kitty. Please note that we unfortunately cannot respond to all letters and won't be able to enter into personal correspondence.
*Send your letters to feelings(at)other-nature.de*
Do you have some feelings that need attention? Don’t we all! Sex and relationships can involve lots and lots of complicated feelings.
That’s why we’re starting a SEX & RELATIONSHIPS ADVICE COLUMN!!!
One week today, our new weekly column, FEELINGS INVOLVED, will launch on the Other Nature Blog (which has tons of other cool stuff to check out, too!)
Ready to feel some feelings? Get involved!
It’s DI(w)Y-Time!!!
There are still spaces left in our Do It (with) Yourself: MASTURBATION WORKSHOP on July 16th! Supporter (20€), Regular (15€) & Solidarity (10€) prices available!
Sometimes masturbation is about taking the tried-and-tested, most direct path to orgasm – and that’s a-okay. But, if we want it to be, our solo playtime can be a space to expand our sexual horizons. Want to spend hours gradually building pleasure, without coming? Or see how many orgasms you can have before you get bored and want to do something else? Go for it!

Many queers and feminists have spent their entire lives creating communities in a world that often feels alienating, and the corona epoch is no exception! Though it may seem on the surface that we're isolating, this pandemic has also called for a burst of creativity, solidarity and coming together-- because that's how we survive. Tune in for our new Community Talks program to hear us chat with different community organizers, sex educators, and sex workers to hear about the amazing work they're doing and the tips they have for staying connected, staying strong, and staying sensual!
Next week we have the pleasure of speaking to to Jennifer Kamau of International Women* Space. IWS are a Berlin-based feminist antiracist political group composed of migrant and refugee womxn and non-migrant womxn who fight alongside them.
IWS’ was born as a group inside the migrant and refugee occupation of the former Gehart-Hauptmann School in December of 2012. The story of the occupation begun with the suicide of Mohammad Rahsepar, an Iranian migrant who was seeking asylum in Germany, who hanged himself in a Heim in Würzburg, Bavaria. After his tragic death, a group of refugees formed a protest caravan and marched more than 600 kilometers from Würzburg to Berlin, demanding the abolition of “Residenzpflicht”, refugee camps, and the European border regime.
After the school was evicted, IWS continued to document the situation of migrant womxn in Germany. They have since published three books, organised countless events and demonstrations, and given talks and workshops all over Germany. In 2018 they finally acquired their own office space in the heart of Kreuzberg, where they have become a hub of activity for refugee womxn’s organising in Berlin. Jennifer Kamau leads the recently-founded Break Isolation Group, a refugee-only group within the IWS.
Read more about them on their website www.iwspace.de and on Facebook under International Women Space

Have you been wanting to invest in a new sex toy to help make quarantimes more pleasurable, but overwhelmed with all the options on our website? Or maybe you've just been missing Other Nature's warm, friendly, sex-positive ways of talking about our toys and products!
We want to adjust to the current climate and figure out how we can continue to be there for you.
Today on April 9th, log onto Zoom (Meeting-ID: 431 390 831 or https://us04web.zoom.us/j/431390831?pwd=UjF3d1JOUGZ5bkxXZVRrWS9tV3d5QT09) for face-to-face, or face-to-anonymous-voice beratung! We'll be trying out this new format with a short two hour run to see how well it works.

FYI Binder wearers, check out this very important resource for navigating #COVID19 and chest #binding! And please share widely 💜
To all my trans-fam who wear binders,
Amelia and I have made a resource for navigating #COVID19 and chest #binding.
Binding while sick and coughing can cause fluid build up in the lungs and extra complications, so it's important to look after yourselves. These are just a few tips to help you.
Please feel free to share this with your trans families and networks.
Also remember with mixed levels of scare mongering in the media, that it is important to get your advice from your local Department of Health, the Centre for Disease Control or the World Health Organisation.
Here in Victoria the best place for up to date information and advice is https://www.dhhs.vic.gov.au/victorian-public-coronavirus-disease-covid-19
Look after yourselves, your mates and your community. We've all known what it means to feel isolated and afraid. Now is the time to reach out and help to spread calm, kindness and compassion.
And share your toilet paper if you have spare - running out of bog roll is just nasty.
- Jack.

This month’s Soli Sex-ed Deluxe raffle has been drawn!!! Thanks to everyone who participated, plus a special big thanks to our sponsor TICKLER. We think TICKLER is great for so many reasons, including the work they’re doing to set an international sex toy standard with the intention of making sex toy production safer & transparent. While established regulations exist for products like medical and assistive devices, there are no such rules for products sold as sex toys or adult novelty items. And people are getting hurt as a result (usually by sticking things up their bums that aren’t safe to put there.) Meanwhile some sex toys may be causing you longterm harm and you don’t even realise it. That’s because lots of sex toys on the market - especially cheaper toys with a jelly-like consistency - contain toxic plastic softeners called phthalates. These increase the flexibility of sex toys and they also pose SERIOUS health risks, specifically to the liver, kidneys, and reproductive organs. Because sex toy manufacturing is a totally unregulated market, it is up to individual manufacturers & producers to decide - and to declare - which materials and manufacturing practices they’re using and what user information they’re including. So yup, this is BAD NEWS for an industry designing products for intimate & internal use - not only for the consumer, but for the retailer & distributor who gives a damn. Not to mention the factory worker, who has to handle and inhale toxic substances day in and day out. That’s why the folks behind Tickler decided to come together with other stakeholders to create the first ever global standard proposal for design and safety requirements of sex toys. This standard was recently approved by the International Standard Organization & an international group has been created to finalize the standard. There is obviously still a LOT of work to do to unf**k this industry. But hats off to Tickler for organising to effect change that could make huge

Other Nature is a feminist, queer, sex-positive, eco-friendly, and vegan sex shop.
Since opening our doors in 2011, Other Nature has always encouraged curiosity about sexuality – you don’t need to “know it all” (nobody does.) Not knowing is a chance to learn, and an invitation to be creative and playful.
We support consensual sexual expression in all its many forms, bodily autonomy, and sexual self-determination. And however you feel about sex right now, we're here for you.
At Other Nature, you will find a variety of high-quality products, body-safe sex toys, awesome books and zines, feminist porn, alternative menstrual products, natural and organic lube, gender expression gear, locally-made vegan floggers and cuffs, and lots of other sexy stuff.
If mainstream sex shops are unappealing and you’re tired of big business capitalism, we hope you’ll find us a refreshing alternative. We’re here to help you make the choices that are right for you, and will never pressure you into buying products you don’t really want. - - - - - - - -
[English above]
Other Nature ist ein feministischer, queerer, sex-positiver, umweltfreundlicher und veganer Sexshop.
Seit der Eröffnung 2011 haben wir uns bei Other Nature immer dafür eingesetzt, Neugier über Sexualität zu unterstützen – du musst nicht alles wissen (niemand kann das). Unwissen ist die Chance zu lernen und eine Einladung, kreativ und verspielt zu sein.
Wir unterstützen konsensuellen sexuellen Ausdruck in allen Formen, körperliche Autonomität und sexuelle Selbstbestimmung. Und wie auch immer du gerade zu Sex stehst, wir sind für dich da.
Bei Other Nature findest du eine Vielfalt hochqualitativer Produkte. Gesundheitlich unbedenkliche Sexspielzeuge, großartige Bücher und Zines, feministische Pornos, alternative Menstruationsprodukte, natürliche und biologische Gleitmittel, Accessoires, um deine Gender-Identität auszudrücken, lokal gefertigte, vegane Peitschen und Fesseln und noch viel mehr sexy Zeug. Wenn dich herkömmliche Sex-Shops nicht ansprechen und du Großkapitalismus leid bist, hoffen wir, dass du Other Nature als eine erfrischende Alternative erlebst. Wir sind da um dir zu helfen, die für dich passenden Entscheidungen zu treffen und werden dir nie Produkte aufschwatzen, die du nicht wirklich haben willst.
