A brief overview of what’s happened over the last week #InSearchOfPleasure.
I missed a week of quickie news because.. well, you should know by now: I was at Erofame (and I widely talked about it in this post as well as in tons of Instagram stories you can find in the highlight!). So this week the quickie news is super selected and clipped. Enjoy!

A rather creepy animation shows humans’ orgasm faces
A team of researchers from the UK and Spain has found evidence showing that contrary to popular belief, the orgasm face is not the same as the pain face. They made the difference clear with animated orgasm faces that also show how the expressions differ between Western and Eastern cultures.
Sex toys for plants
A group of artists and designers from Slovenia got together to create fictional sex toys for the reproductive problems of plants.
There’s a dildo helping carnivorous plants to focus on reproduction by blocking the entry of potential pollinators; a vibrator that helps Cyclamen plants
