open/close all folders 

Ambrosia, Arbutus 

The King sends a messenger to deliver a message to his armies and she comes across a couple from the enemy.


  • Fauns and Satyrs: The Human Kingdom is at war with a race of humanoid Beast Men with antlers.
  • Guy on Guy Is Hot: The female messenger happens upon an enemy soldier making love to his male-lover. She then masturbates to it while keeping herself hidden.

How You Gotta Keep 'Em Down on the Farm 

An alien crash-lands on Earth and has little hope of repairing his ship on his own. Luckily, he meets a young man with an acumen for mechanics.


  • Blaming the Victim: On top of shaming Reuben for writing science-fiction as a free-writing exercise, his teacher goes on to shame him for not standing up to the gang of bullies harassing him.
  • Language Barrier: While Paris has a translator device, it's broken for most of the strip and he and Reuben have to work around it.
  • Politically Incorrect Villain: The bullies harass Reuben for being a "farmer's boy" (read:from a working class family).

The Wedding Gift 

Shahira must wed to a man she doesn't love, but he isn't what she expected him to be.


  • Altar Diplomacy: Shahira is marrying Basim against her will enitrely for political reasons.
  • True Love Is a Kink: Basim allows Shahira to spend their wedding night with her lover Naji because, on top of wanting her to be happy, the idea of his new wife cheating on him with someone else is his Casual Kink.

Glasses & Jones 

Giada had just finished her school-work and rewards herself with a moment of pearl-polishing. What she didn't expect to find was that the BDSM she had been masturbating too was illustrated by the last person she would expect to be into it.


  • Aggressive Submissive: Abigail unwittingly plays the submissive role during their session, though she's obviously the more confrontational of the two.
  • Butch Lesbian: Abigail has a punk hairstyle and butch fashion, and she also hold attraction to women.
  • Covert Pervert: Giada is a mousy, glasses-wearing girl who just so-happens to have a blog portraying graphic lesbian BDSM scenes.

Divers 

In the Year 2134, a man and a woman have been arrested and are sentenced to be executed as punishment. Their crime? They had learned how to time-travel through sex, and this had a profound effect on society at large.


  • Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence: In spirit, the divers have basically done this. While they are imprisoned by the 2134-dystopian government ready to be executed, they are able to free themselves from two separate prison cells via diving without having intercourse.
  • Caught Up in the Rapture: The Year 2134 has elements of a post-rapture world, having devolved into a Crapsack World built on spite when the lover's DIY guide became Sacred Scripture, with many of the people who read it (namely dreamers, artists, visionaries, and anyone else open-minded enough to learn from it) using it as an instruction manual to travel to permanently travel to the future.
  • Death of a Child: The lover's baby had died in a fire, something implied to have happened while the two of them were off diving.
  • Magic Realism: The lovers learn how to dive — mental time travel through sex — entirely by accident. They don't know the "why" in how they do it, but they wind up teaching most of humanity learning how to do it second-hand through a self-help book based on their findings.
  • Mental Time Travel: The lovers are able to travel back in time, but only in an incorporeal state that goes unnoticed by those in the resident time. Their friend explains that this means that the past is immutable, so he recommends they try traveling forwards instead to see if they could change.
  • Sacred Scripture: The lovers learned enough from their quantum travels that they had written a DIY guide out of it. While at first dismissed as a gag-gift or a self-help manual, it eventually gained traction and people in the future learned how to dive themselves.
  • Sex Magic: The travelers are able to perform Mental Time Travel to the past via having sex, eventually learning how to travel full-bodied into the future. Whether it is magic, some freak accident of genetics or something else entirely is never definitively explained.

Farmgirl 

Becca brings her girlfriend Jennie to the family farm, hoping to tell them that they're dating. Jennie is nervous about hot they react and Becca brings her to the barn.


  • Farmer's Daughter: Becca is this, being a farm-raised girl eager to introduce her girlfriend to her parents.
  • Open-Minded Parent: While conservative-leaning, Becca is confident enough to introduce her girlfriend to her parents without fear of reproach. When she tells her dad, he makes her promise to pretend that she told her mother first.

Honesty 

After hurting his arm in an accident, Wicks gets some help cleaning up and managing his day to day with the cute girl that had just moved into the same complex.


  • Contrived Coincidence: The fact that both Honesty and Wicks are trans is this, the two of them only revealing this fact to each other after a date before they start to reach third base.
  • Foreshadowing: Honesty admits that she had named herself "Honesty" instead of being given the name, the reveal that she's trans coming a few pages later.
  • Meaningful Rename: Honesty Cheung is a transwoman who named herself "Honesty" and is very blunt and forwards, as she herself lampshades.

Last Word 

One of them isn't feeling all that great and just needs a nice hot shower. Her girlfriends has a better idea.


  • Aggressive Submissive: While the Butch Lesbian is the one who propositions for sex, she's also the one who is on the receiving end of her girlfriend's strap-on, Whip of Dominance and blindfold.
  • Butch Lesbian: One of them dresses masculine and has short, pixie-cut hair. ironically, she isn't the one wearing the strap-on.

Battlelines 

A pair of flagmen have a dispute over their different side's creed.


  • Distinction Without a Difference: The Inciting Incident has the two flagmen dispute over their similar-sounding creeds, "Death Before Dishonor" and "Dishonor Before Death", which pretty much mean the same thing. The third flagman has "Death During Dishonor", which is less clear.
  • Face of a Thug: The third flagman is much larger and more intimidating, though he seems genuinely hurt that he didn't get to have sex like the first two.
  • I'm Not Doing That Again: After the two flagmen finish, a third, much larger flagman with a similar flag arrives. The two immediately book it.
  • Slap-Slap-Kiss: One of the flagmen gives the other a Glove Slap. The other responds in-kind. They then tussle before it devolves into sex.

Destination Wedding 

Claire and Matthew are getting married and all their friends and relatives are invited.


  • Insistent Terminology: One of Claire's friends clarifies that while Claire isn't marrying Stephane, he isn't her ex, much to her other friend's confusion. This is because Claire is with both Stephane and Matthew (the groom).
  • Late to the Punchline: Just as they are about to have a Devil's threesome, Matthew makes a quip about how they're "going to Italy". At the very end, Claire realizes he was making a reference to the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
  • Polyamory: While Claire and Matthew are getting married on paper, the real situation is that Matthew and Stéphane are both sharing Claire.

Merger 

A merger between two companies must be consummated and one of them is worried that they won't be able to satisfy the other. They make due with what they have.


  • Altar Diplomacy: While their "merger" is used in language that imply it to be a corporate one, it's played off more as one between nations, the protagonists getting married and consummating to make it binding.
  • Ambiguous Gender: The Cyborg mentions having imperfect genital implants, but it's never stated if they were a man and a woman before the accident.
  • Cyborg: One of the spouses was gravely injured in an accident and their father had made up the damage with robotic replacements. Not a single ounce of their human flesh is visible, making them come across as a more like a sleek-model humanoid robot than a person with robot parts.

Complete 

Rook comes home from a long, stressful day at work. His girlfriend Yuuko knows just how to help him unwind.


  • Uptight Loves Wild: Implied. Rook works an office job in a suit (that he harps on getting wrinkled), while Yuuko has a punkish-haircut and tattoos all over her. And that's not even going into the strap-on...

The Witch 

A witch has been spotted out in the village, and every villager knows that witches hunt virgins. Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, for our young virgin protagonist, such a witch takes an interest in her.


  • Eternal Sexual Freedom: Despite being set in a pre-Industrial European town, same-sex relations seem to be accepted enough for there to be lesbian intercourse during the public orgy.
  • Sex Magic: Witches get their power by "feeding" on sexual energies.
  • Virgin Power: Subverted. The villagers think that the Witches target virgins to eat them (hence the impromptu orgy at the mention of one being spotted). The Witch clarifies that "virginity" is just something humans made up, and she was only interested in the virgin Protagonist because she was nice enough to let her in.

Work of Art 

A man comes home from class and asks if his girlfriend could pose for him as homework.


  • Brick Joke: The comic ends with the female protagonist freaking out, having just remembered the lasagna she had in the oven that was established at the beginning of the comic.
  • Public Exposure: The basic premise is that the male protagonist asks his girlfriend to pose topless for him since he needs practice for his art class.

Who Watches the Watchmen 

A new I.T. employee had been hired at a real superhero HQ to help with their security. Unfortunately for her, she's been left with security camera duty and she sees a lot more than she bargained for.


  • Office Romance: Evidently, there is no rule for members of the Super Team to partake in sexual relations at the Home Base, with their Muggle employees doing something similar (as is the case with the protagonist and her new boss). Either that or no one plans on enforcing any "no workplace romance" policies.
  • Heroes Gone Fishing: Evidently, the superheroes partake in a lot of interservice sex in their downtime at the Home Base, the protagonist is bombarded with enough footage of this to make up most of her first shift.
  • Mundane Fantastic: While set in a setting of Superheroes, there aren't any actual superheroics present in the strip. It's actually set at HQ from the perspective of a Muggle being employed at a Super Team's Home Base for their security.
  • Secret Test of Character: Apparently, all of the footage the protagonist was watching was footage, and she was being monitored on how she would react. She passed, having only just decided she would masturbate to it as her boss walked in to congratulate her.

Ill Met by Conlight 

Cassidy and Jason have a run-in trying to snag the same collector's item DVD at a Fan Convention and the two of them form an attraction to one another.


  • Recognition Failure: Cassidy is the only person who doesn't know who Jason Ardmor is. Sure, he's heard of the name, but he wouldn't recognize him because he's not familiar with anything he's been in.

Now, You Don't 

Our protagonist is on a date with her first girlfriend and she gets a taste of a good night in bondage.


  • Girl on Girl Is Hot: The protagonist suddenly dates a woman and she gets a lot of attention from all of her male coworkers because of this.
  • No Bisexuals: While the protagonist had always been bisexual and wasn't secretive about it, she remarks that having a girlfriend now made her "gay."

Big Booty Jane: Galactic Space Cop 

Jane, known better as "Big Booty Jane" is an intergalactic police officer out to kick the asses of any alien criminal she comes across.


  • Acrofatic: Being a Big Beautiful Woman doesn't slow her down in the least, being able to chase down an alien through the mean streets and literally kick it into orbit, Justified, given her implants.
  • Cyborg: Jane is technically one. After a ship-crashlands, Jane gets hurt and is saved by a galactic officer who applies implants into her lower half. This is used to explain her superhuman kicking ability.
  • Euphemistic Names: Everyone calls Jane "Big Booty Jane" because of her large ass.
  • Shout-Out: Her origin story — being an African-American Earthling with a law enforcement background recruited into the Space Police and enhanced by alien tech — sounds an awful lot like John Stewart.

Tiger Bride 

In India, a man saves an older gentleman from an encounter with a Bengal tiger and offers his daughter for marriage as thanks.


  • Dreaming of Things to Come: The daughter dreams of having dinner with a tiger. By the time she wakes up, her father returns with a man who saved him from a tiger attack and offers her to him for marriage.
  • Unusually Uninteresting Sight: The comic ends with a tiger walking by after the man and woman have sex, though they don't seem to mind.

Gorgeous 

Brie and her transgender girlfriend had just finished a fun night with friends, but she feels insecure about herself and what others will think. Brie seeks to change that.


  • Trans Tribulations: It's implied that the transwoman protagonist has just started transitioning and feels insecure about her appearance and what others think of her. Her girlfriend has sex with her in an alley as a pick-me-up.

Intimacy Procedure: Informal 

One Night Off 

Astri is spending her first night away from home with a friend, and her papas are going to enjoy their first night alone together in a while.


  • Camp Gay: Implied to be the case with Jinjur, his various piercings and notable eyelashes making his design more"camp" than his husband.
  • Happily Adopted: Seems to be the case with Astri, Jinjur and Wendell doting on her with no issue.
  • Straight Gay: Unlike Jinjur, Wendell displays no outwardly camp identifiers.

Big Babies 

A pair of expecting parents in need to relax and he decides to give his expecting wife a foot rub to help with the aches.


  • Massage of Love: The man gives his wife a foot-rub to help with her aches. Her moans of pleasure from the relief lead to him cracking a joke about the neighbors thinking they're having sex, only for it to actually get her in the mood.
  • No Name Given: Neither characters present in the comic have given names.

Clay 

A star falls in the night, and a lone woman living by the marsh encounters a creature.


  • Golem: The creature at first looks like a mud-monster. When the woman realizes that the creature is not a threat, she manages to mold them into almost a mirror image of herself.
  • No-Dialogue Episode: The story has no lines of dialogue, the entire strip a visual experience.
  • Screw Yourself: The Golem's human visage looks near-identical to the woman, making sexual intercourse between the two easier.
  • The Shadow Knows: The last panel shows the Golem (now in the form of a beautiful human woman) has a shadow that implies it to be an angel.

Phone Tag 

Jack is on his way to work and has a run-in with a girl he had a one-night stand. His roommate encourages him to reconnect with her.


  • Friends with Benefits: It's implied that Jack and Sean are both roommates and are in some manner sexually involved with each other. Sean was the one who introduced Jack to Margot, and the sex scene involves Jack describing Margot going down onto Sean detail, and then fantasizing about having a threesome.
  • Introduction by Hookup: While Jack and Margot had bascially met on a one-night stand, both wanted to pursue something further, but a mixture of bashfulness and not wanting to seem "easy" led to the two of them holding it off for a few weeks before trying anything. It's unlikely it would have even gotten to that point if they didn't run into each other on the street.
  • Making Love in All the Wrong Places: The sex scene involved happens in the stall of a public restroom.
