Prickly Pear is broken up into 4 sections. Please let us know where you think your submission best fits. If you don't know, all good, we will place it.

*???!- is a mixed-bag of essays, images and questions that fall somewhere in-between everything else. Think of it as the "I don't know" option. Spiky - Some aspects of these stories are harder to read and may be more triggering for some readers - for example stories and art referencing sexual assault, abuse and really hard experiences that might be more nuanced than those two categories. Soft - Where you can find the ooey-gooey lovey stuff - think of it as the template for what is going right. Juicy - Gets a little saucier and sexy! Your smut goes here.

Survey Says! ***These are some optional questions that we would like to add into the zine. Feel free to skip down to the file upload section if you would rather not respond.

These responses will be compiled and published anonymously in Prickly Pear Vol 3. These are conversations and questions that have come up since the first publication, and we're curious to see what you have to say. Answer as many or as few as you'd like.

What does your intimate relationship with yourself look like?

What is the longest you have been single? What are your thoughts on it? We want to hear about single love!!

How do you spice things upppp in the bedroom?

What are your experiences with different relationship styles? If none, have you been curious or why not?

What is a phrase that you have said when you no longer wish to be on a date or hookup? What have you said to express disinterest in dating or hooking up further (rather than ghosting)?

What was your first sexual experience like?

PRICKLY PEAR…

Prickly Pear is a self-published magazine consisting of submissions by people of all walks of life. It was created to offer a platform for folks to talk openly and honestly about sex, relationships, abuse and human intimacy.

You will be heard here. You will be seen. You will be believed.

Prickly Pear is a collection of beautiful sexy stories about times we felt so good in our bodies and touched just right. But also about times we weren't heard or seen or felt. Stories about times when something was taken that wasn't theirs to take.

"I want to start off by saying, reading your zine last year was transformative for me. I had been feeling very alone for a very long time in a toxic relationship. Prickly Pear helped me to feel that I am truly not alone. It was one of the many tools I used to help me get out of that relationship and make my health and well-being a priority. Thank you." - S
