When your anti-masturbation tweet is unintentionally a pro-masturbation tweet.

Happy 1st birthday, DIY!! Let’s take a look back at a few highlights from the past year… 🧵

“I grew up Catholic” is a euphemism for “I am an atheist.”

Draw me a diagram how this will materially improve the life of anyone.

My new number one fan 🇺🇸

Bob Dylan already made a movie about the current Trumpist regime. In 2003.

Date idea: a Lady and the Tramp type kiss, but with dual-ended lobotomy picks.

I often wonder if this woman is still boycotting Hobby Lobby four years after she saw one of my sexual health posts where I jokingly included a Hobby Lobby hashtag, and she believed I was officially speaking on behalf of the company.

Hear me out. What if your demand for “closure” is bullshit? What if closure doesn’t actually help you but is really just about control? www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/wome...

Premature ejaculators should yell “Behold!” right before orgasm.

Let’s make a collective 2025 goal to prioritize people over profits, pleasure over productivity, and Planned Parenthood over the Pope.

When we have shared interests in bird feeders and sexual fetishes, texts from my wife can be confusing.

Thank you to everyone who has bought, read, and reviewed DIY since its release in March! It’s been wonderful to see the reactions from readers this year. I’m usually self-deprecating, but I’m actually really proud of this book and I’m excited to write my next one in 2025!

My favorite book of 2024 was this remarkable first outing by @drsprankle.bsky.social a brilliant ride through the history and science of the most prevalent sexual behavior of our species. I can’t remember laughing out loud this much from any book. Highly recommended. www.powells.com/book/diy-978...

I know I wrote a book about masturbation, but it wasn’t a memoir.

My top 10 horror movies of 2024: 10) Daddy’s Head 9) The Coffee Table 8) Azrael 7) Handling the Undead 6) Longlegs 5) Maxxxine 4) Nosferatu 3) The Devil’s Bath 2) The Substance 1) Oddity

😭😭😭😭

Sexual relationships can be: • casual • communal • committed • commercial • configured whichever way is authentic for you, even if that means your religious aunt makes the sign of the cross when you enter the room

Mina wants you to know this holiday is about her.

A man just ordered “a twenty inch latte” and he meant ounces I’m sure but I laughed because I’m a pervert and immature

Happy Festivus everyone. Always amazed this crazy episode birthed a real celebration that seems to be enjoyed by so many around the world. So may your feats be strong and your grievances few. Enjoy.

My prediction is Justin Baldoni will disclose a “sex addiction,” disappear for a while to some new age retreat, and try to rebuild his career speaking out against “evil temptations” in our culture that hurt men.

I’m making a selfish case for sex ed. Read more here: open.substack.com/pub/scarletl...

@drsprankle.bsky.social you sparked quite the debate on FB.

I’m getting into the holiday spirit by sitting near a fire eating Christmas cookies and reading case studies on sadomasochists. #tistheseason

Look who’s a Hustler cover boy! Big shout out to @mikeadamsofficial.bsky.social for the 8-page feature interview and to Travis Shinn for the photoshoot 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Have a bowl out of spite.

That’s not what Trent Reznor was singing about.

Don’t invite me on your podcast unless you’re prepared for comments like this.

Thanksgiving conversation starters: • favorite HPV strain? • 17 toes or 5 nipples? • is grandma in heaven or hell? • Bieber fever or One Direction erection? • priests?

I’m doing the dishes while my wife is downstairs playing “For Whom the Bell Tolls” on her bass because we respect traditional gender roles in this house.

Touch a book. Touch yourself. Touch a book about touching yourself.
