![]() ![]() The full range of animations has been created, and can be enjoyed on demand on Smore's website, where more details are shared on the project. Clippy.js is a JavaScript implementation of the Office Assistants that can be embedded in any website. Other Assistants such Dot (a ball) and the Hoverbot have not been so fortunate. Smore has brought back not just Clippy, but also Merlin the wizard, Rover the dog, and (my personal favourite) Links the cat. Naturally, we decided to combine the two." Created as a 'weekend project' by their developers, Smore explains: "Our research shows that people love two things: failed Microsoft technologies and obscure JavaScript libraries. Clippy and friends made their last appearance in Office for Mac 2004, while the last PC version of the software to feature the Office Assistants was Office 2003.īut now, there is cause for equal measures of rejoicing and despair with the resurrection of Clippy by digital flyer start-up, Smore. ![]() In reality, these Office Assistants were just plain irritating, and no more useful in practice than accessing a standard text-based help database.Ī range of Office Assistants were created, but the most famous one of all was, of course, the paper clip. So, as incredible as vibrators are (and trust me, I’m a big fan), if you’re curious about going back to the basics, give them a break once in a while.Those of you who have been using Office for many, many years will no doubt recall the days when Microsoft's productivity suite included digital companions, tasked - in theory, at least - with helping users to get things done more easily. There’s something to be said about knowing precisely how you want to feel during sex. When we tried it, I knew exactly where to direct her fingers. After a few weeks of using my fingers to masturbate during stolen moments, I told my girlfriend that I’d been experimenting and I wanted to try fingering the next time we had sex. Learning where and how you like to be touched can make partnered sex better too. Experiment with different strokes, speed, and pressure, adjusting according to whatever feels best to you. Try gently pulling on your labia or gently experimenting with direct anal play. Try putting pressure on your perineum (the bit of skin between your anus and other genitals). Maybe you, like me, don’t enjoy direct touch on the most sensitive parts of your genitals. You can even “touch parts of your body that you don’t think will bring you pleasure, just to see,” Kahn says. When you’re ready, move on to touching other parts of your body: your chest and nipples, the nape of your neck, your ears, your thighs, your stomach. You might grab some lotion or massage oil and ask yourself what it feels like as you work the product into body parts like your hands, arms, and legs, Kahn says, adding that this can help you become “more receptive to pleasurable sensations and touch.” Kahn also suggests starting with something that will help you relax. Remember that what feels right for someone else might not feel right for you, which is why it’s interesting to do this solo exploration. If you’re unsure how to do that, Kahn suggests starting slowly. So if the pandemic has shaken you out of a vibrator-only masturbation routine, why not take it a step further and explore different parts of your body too? You might jump right to fingering yourself, bypassing areas like your nipples or other body parts. Many of us are like Chandler, even during solo sex. In her therapy practice, Cooper likes to remind clients of a famous Friends episode in which Monica draws a picture of a woman's body, and Chandler is shocked when she labels not two, not three, but seven erogenous zones. “After we've gotten adjusted to masturbating, we kind of decide ‘here's our groove, here's what we're going to do,’ whether it's with fingers or with a vibrator,” Madeline Cooper, LCSW, an AASECT-certified sex therapist, tells SELF. Getting back to basics can help you figure out where on your genitals you like to be touched, but there are also other erogenous zones worth exploring. I discovered that fingering does work for me, but the people I’d had sex with before weren’t touching the right places. I also experimented with pressure and speed. But when I started using my fingers again, I noticed that, yes, rubbing directly on my clit was too intense, but rubbing above it felt nice. For instance, I’ve spent most of my sex life thinking I couldn’t orgasm from having my clitoris rubbed. Using your fingers might also help you rethink your likes and dislikes. ![]()
