'Sup on the blog?
 Also on the She Bop Blog this past month, we wrote about an upcoming documentary starring trans activist and porn performer Buck Angel. The filmmakers are looking to hire a talented video editor, so they are accepting donations until July 10.
We also highlighted a really fascinating article about the stigma surrounding male sex toy use, and how it relates to age-old myths about masturbation. Give it a read!
