September has blown by and October is just three days away, so we figured there's no better time to share the best of Penchant from this month. We're rounding up our most popular blog posts as well as places that Penchant products have been spotted out in the wild (er, the Internet).

At Penchant we're all about sex-positivity, or the idea that all sex, as long as it’s consensual and healthy, is a positive thing. We try to be a resource for you in our own right, providing tips and tricks to help you explore what gets you off, but there's an even larger community out there with fantastic sex-positive resources.

It’s officially the season of the Pumpkin Spice Latte which unofficially means way more indoor time. And being inside can mean a lot more time for your favorite activities - cooking, catching up on your favorite tv shows, and, oh yeah, sex. 

At Penchant you'll always hear us singing the praises of using lube, but if you're new to using it, there may be a lot you don't know. Below we've rounded up ten lube facts every newbie should know, along with plenty of extra reading material.

Let’s face it - sometimes our hormones get us, well, horny, at a time or place where a slow seduction just isn’t possible.  Sometimes, dammit, we still want to act on those urges.  Enter the quickie: a fast way to have your cake and eat it, too.

Ahh, outdoor sex: it's one of the greatest perks of warmer weather and the reason we're so glad that summer is finally here.  There's something completely energizing about the feeling of sex in the fresh air, and nothing quite so naughty as the feeling that you could get caught.

Oh, anal sex. It's one of the most taboo sex acts but it can also be one of the most pleasurable, if you do it right. For those of you dipping a toe into the water, we're sharing the top 8 commandments of anal sex.

You look up, smile in anticipation, and flick your finger against the slippery surface just so.  Sounds like the start of a good sex fantasy, but instead it’s the reality of life playing Pokemon GO.

Obviously having sex ranks high on our list of favorite things, and we're of the opinion that it's hard to have too much of such a delicious activity. If you're into having a heart-pounding good time and want to have sex more frequently, you're going to first want to get your heart pounding in another way.

You guys.  RWA2016, shorthand for the annual conference put on by the Romance Writers of America organization, came to a close last week and not only did the conference look like an amazing meet up, it had us adding a whole slew of new books to our reading list.
