Must Read Science That Will Transform Your Sex Life
Sex is messy. Yes, in the physical sense, but perhaps more so in the psychological sense: who do we desire, and why? What are the differences between genders when it comes to sexuality and behavior? This next statement might be met with a degree of skepticism, but the science of sex can enhance your relationships in ways only those who have studied it will understand. Sex researchers devote their careers and lives to unpacking the vast complexity that is human sexuality. I can't promise the books will be particularly sexy, but surely learning the science of sex will transform your sex life. Your relationship might be great, but sex and science are the perfect match.

What She's Really Thinking While Watching Porn with Her Man
What porn is to men, Romcoms are to women. Both involve fantasy, unnaturally proportioned actors, and of course the most unlikely of outcomes. Which is why couples don't always see eye to eye when it comes to watching these dirty little flicks before a romp session.

What Is a Multiple Orgasm?
There often, as a woman, seems to be an unconscious rejection of the possibility of having more than one orgasm. If men can only have one, perhaps it seems greedy, aggressive, or challenging to want more when with a man. That was a very 20th century perspective uncovered in the informative Hite Report by Shere Hite. Perhaps a woman who does desire more, is "unnatural" or a "nymphomaniac." More Mad Men era hyperbole started by men who probably didn't want to work too hard.

Do Orgasms Feel Different Without Sexual Intercourse?
“Do orgasms with the presence of a penis feel different from those without? In what way?" One reason the clitoral-vaginal controversy remains with us is that the mystique of orgasm during intercourse is still very strong. The idea is that an orgasm during intercourse ("vaginal orgasm") feels much better than an orgasm without intercourse ("clitoral orgasm"). It is this idea which Shere Hite examined as part of the definitive survey on female sexuality.

Why a Vibrator Should Be the Only Electronic In the Bedroom
I think we can all agree that sex is not the time for smart phones. There is nothing worse than being intimate with someone and, as soon as you’re done, they grab their smartphones and begin scrolling through Instagram, tapping "like" on all the girls you wish you looked like. The bedroom is somewhere for love and sex and all kinds of naughtiness; leave the smartphone and laptop out of the equation. (Unless you are playing your "in the mood" mix tape or watching my porn. Naturally). But there are some gadgets and gizmos that are made for this personal and intimate time with your partner (or your one night stand/fuck buddy).

Why Men Shouldn't Be Afraid of Sex Toys
Sex is great, and sex toys can make it even better, but many men seem to be intimidated by sex toys while their partners want them to know why men shouldn’t be afraid of toys. There are a number of reasons why men might fear toys in bed, but there are even more reasons why this is a fear to be overcome. Our time in this life is short, and there is nothing wrong with trying to get as much pleasure out of it as possible. Given that, why would you willfully deny yourself added fun and a better time? After all, it’s not like someone looks back at their life and smiles at all the fun they didn’t have. This guide will briefly outline some reasons men fear sex toys and then go on to explain why men shouldn’t be afraid of toys.

7 Reasons Feminist Porn Is Better Than Real Porn
To many people, the idea of “feminist porn” is an oxymoron. Porn is often viewed as degrading towards women and some feminists, like second wave feminist Andrea Dworkin, believe that all porn, regardless of the context, is inherently degrading. Those feminists would be wrong. For some women, being empowered means being what BDSM porn star Rain deGray refers to as a, “professional naked person.” Exhibitionism is a common kink after all, so why wouldn't men and women with this kink want to capitalize on it? And with the sexual revolution, why shouldn't women have our own porn, geared towards us, and why shouldn't we embrace it as freedom, rather than write all of it off as degrading?

Shere Hite On the Importance of Masturbation
"Masturbation has helped me to know how to have an orgasm, and to recognize the stages of arousal I go through." My mother recently gave me a book she said changed her life in the late 1970s. Masturbation, in a very real sense, is one of the most important subjects discussed in The Hite Report book by Shere Hite, and was a cause for celebration because it is such an easy source of orgasms for most American women. Many women in the study said they could masturbate and orgasm with ease in just a few minutes. Of the 82 percent of women who said they masturbated, 95 percent could orgasm easily and regularly whenever they wanted. Many women used the term "masturbation" synonymously with orgasm: women assumed masturbation included orgasm.

Why Foreplay is Slowly Becoming a Thing of the Past
Foreplay. The word quickly brings to mind a certain couple and situation . . . usually, a man taking a few minutes to ‘warm up’ his lady before the actual act of penetration, perhaps with slow and indulgent kissing, a sensual massage, a little delicate fingering, or even a saucily-applied vibrator. Sometimes oral sex is included under the ‘foreplay’ banner as well. Nothing like an enthusiastic blowjob before the main event, or perhaps some toe-curling cunnilingus. Anything to get everybody fully and utterly aroused before the P. goes in the V. That ‘traditional’ model up there has been around for quite a while, but it ---- and, indeed, the concept of foreplay in general ---- is slowly becoming a relic of the past. Why? Well, one significant reason lies in the growing visibility of LGBT+ couples. If two women, in the process of getting hot ‘n’ heavy, have a heated and desperate makeout session followed by tearing off each others’ clothes and finishing each other off with oral pleasure and digital penetration, you won’t find too many people protesting the fact that they’ve just had sex.
