The urban dictionary defines a “dick appointment” as an appointment to have sex with a man. Different from a drunken one-night stand, where one usually ends up doing the memorable walk of shame, when it comes to a “dick appointment” this one is premeditated. This means there’s enough time to get ready and figure out a way to deliver those super sexy bedroom eyes, make sure the eyelashes don’t fall in the heat of the moment and decide if lip gloss or lip tint is better. In order to be a 100% informed and make sure that you’re not only being safe but also at your best, the “dick appointment” beauty tutorials are exactly what every girl never knew she needed.
Emotions play the biggest enemy when it comes to makeup. Just like brides don’t want to cry on their wedding day because they want to look flawless, women, in general, don’t want to have makeup sliding down their faces while they are doing their thing. The truth is when it comes to sex, “options” are infinite and that’s exactly why YouTube is now being the widely popular platform in offering women (us) a variety of beauty tutorials that are just blowing everyone’s mind. Since we become mesmerized by a woman who made thousands of dollars by smashing her face on bread on Instagram and YouTube back in 2016, one thought: Really? Even though they were watching it over and over again. Well, now in the sea of crazy and handy YouTube videos there’s content for everyone. From that girl that’s shy and only wants a low-key beauty look to the brave one that wants the whole package including hair and styling and even what body scrub is best to make the skin look softer and silky smooth.
These tutorials are step-by-step guides that prevent you from going ready to go ready to crawl. From a must-have urban decay eyeshadow primer to a Farsali Jelly Beam highlighter, viewers are able to see the most successful ways to apply beauty products when preparing for that previously arranged fling. Moreover, they offer tips like the one from YouTuber Sophie Dolan, “put everything in the eyes because that’s the only part that’s not really being touched.” Or to wear a matte lipstick that would actually survive the makeout session. Others take the enhancing lip advice to the next level by using a toothbrush to brush off all the dead skin and achieve a plumber look on them like YouTuber Sherliza Moe suggests.
Sarah Cheung’s “Dick Appointment Makeup Tutorial” is the second-most watched YouTube video within this category. It’s not only a GRWM (get ready with me) type of video but it’s a mixture of what she describes as a “Hollywood glam meets dick appointment” type of look. The ultimate goal was a “fresh and glowy” vibe and her formula involved a light base, nude lips, and neutral eyes.
“You need a look that survives the splash zone,” Sara Cheung said in an interview with Dazed Digital. “No, just kidding! I just think it’s whatever look makes you feel hot and fly and beautiful – your man probably can’t even tell what look you’re doing, but he’ll be able to tell if you’re feeling yourself in the bedroom.”
Mashable described this trend as a way of opening up discussions regarding consent and safe sex. No-strings-attached are recognized as something that’s happening every day (whether people acknowledge it or not) instead of being considered scandalous or unacceptable. Scrolling through YouTube, evidence of hundreds of thousands of views shows that the content provided is popular and that the audience is eager for ultimate sensual makeup looks. Even though there are still a number of people who doesn’t necessarily agree with this type of content, unwanted opinions don’t represent an issue for these beauty bloggers.
After telling her viewers that she prefers lash extensions because lash glue isn’t sex proof and sometimes it slips, ShadeyBangs talks about the importance of saying no and feeling confident on your own skin as well as recognizing the reasons behind having sex. “We really have to put an emphasis on consent and choice,” she said on the second part of her dick appointment tutorial. “Yes, be free to have sex but please have the confidence to say no. I think the day that I became liberated in terms of my sexuality was when I felt confident enough to say no.” Moreover, she addresses how women should have sex whenever they want without being judged, but sex should never replace the therapy or work needed to fix certain issues we are dealing with.
Viewers not only learn how to get the perfect eyebrow shape and achieve the perfect winged liner look but also while waiting for their foundation to set, bloggers aim to spread consciousness of condoms, birth control and even what to do when you feel butterflies in your stomach but there’s nothing going on down there. The scenarios when it comes to sexual encounters are infinite and that’s why depending on what exactly viewers are looking for there are options for every taste.
According to Mashable, the dick appointment YouTube niche is more than just a platform for endorsing promiscuity through tutorials. It’s a community where the audience is getting pretty straightforward advice with no filter. Additionally, the dick appointment tutorials are another reaffirmation that sex sells. Take into account the too faced better than sex mascara and the fact that sex products are entering the beauty and wellness space.
Now, you know what a dick appointment prep video looks like and even though I’m pretty sure some appointments are not scheduled yet, people are now going to be as excited for the getting ready process as they are for what’s coming next.
