Are you someone who...
Read MoreEver since I saw Peter Greenaway’s movie, Drowning by Numbers, I’ve been fascinated by ice play and sex. There’s a part where Juliet Stevenson is penetrated by an ice lolly. It isn’t graphically depicted, just hinted at, but it left a big impression on me. It is an unexpected, highly erotic scene in the movie, as the couple involved...

The female orgasm is a huge area of interest, and it’s not hard to see why. A woman’s body is a hot map of pleasure, complete with a plethora of erogenous zones that, once stimulated, can provide an...
Read MoreSometimes their ass looks good enough to eat, doesn’t it? And I say: EAT IT. Rimming is one of my personal favourite sexual activities. It quenches parts of my mind-body-and-soul that I didn’t know existed before I’d tried it. For those of you who aren’t privy to what I am talking about, ‘Rimming’ (or ‘Analingus’, by dictionary definition) is...

After all, the traditional definition of the word, according to the Oxford Dictionary, is “sexual activity, such as touching the sexual organs and kissing, that takes place before people have sex.” And here’s where the problem...

Penis orgasms aren’t quite as basic as you think – and the more you explore, the more to learn. So, let’s me talk you through a few steps I’ve learned over the years, from my own...
Read MoreYou may be familiar with that tingle and rush if someone runs their fingers through your hair or nibbles at that spot just behind your ear. Or do your knees go week when someone lightly peppers your inner elbow with their fingertips? How about that spark of electricity cascading in torrents if someone kisses your shoulders. What on earth...
Read MoreMost of us thoroughly enjoy the experience of an orgasm. Besides the pleasurable feel, there are a bunch of other benefits too. A positive boost to your mood, clearer skin and even better bone health are just a few bonus extras. Orgasms can potentially relieve pain, strengthen your pelvic floor and even increase body confidence. The paybacks are huge so...
Read MoreLubricant use for sexual pleasure is at an all-time high! People are realising it enhances sexual play and is not just for those pelvic or prostate exams. The stigma of using lubes is over – you do not need to have vaginal dryness or any other condition to use it. The main job of lube is to ease any...
Read MoreWhen we think and talk about sex, often the focus is about what’s going on in between our legs. When in fact we know that the biggest sex organ in the body is the brain, and one of the most critical ways of using it, is our mouths. So it’s no surprise that experts in the relationship therapy space...
Read MoreIt’s time we threw a very harmful myth out with the trash: Women like sex less than men do. The idea that women like sex less than men is rooted in a lack of proper understanding of HOW female sexual desire works.
