Vaginal dilation therapy is the name given to a treatment for many vaginal and pelvic floor conditions. It involves inserting a medical device called a dilator into the vagina. There's two main benefits that vaginal dilation can achieve: to stretch the tissue of the vagina, and/or to train the pelvic floor muscles to relax.

A typical vagina and pelvic floor is already very stretchy - big enough for a baby's head to come out of it. But sometimes there's a medical to stretch or retrain.

Since we're launching our stretch goal for our fundraising campaign, we'd like to mark the occasion by talking about something stretchy: vaginal dilation therapy. This common treatment is surrounded in myths, misconceptions and stigma. Let's bust it today. https://www.gofundme.com/f/btscc2

3. Burn billions in capital to subsidize artificially cheap services & kill the competition
4. Bleed everyone dry

I'm reading a 1987 Japanese magazine named Hacker and it's adorable. Besides talking about all kinds of bootlegs and erogames, it's got how-to instructions for how to defeat copy protection on PC-88 games. Like, here's how you format a disk and then run this BASIC code to copy the WIZARDRY game disk.

It's on the archive. There's some nudity in it, so beware:
