When I look at this automatic sperm extractor, I think of those photobooths, those little rides, those heart rate testers and those scales at malls. Hell, maybe progressive, sex-positive societies should have these convenient devices everywhere!
Let’s Put Automatic Sperm Extractors in Malls Read MoreThis new, wide-ranging study on sex work should help dispel some of the myths and stereotypes associated with sex workers and sex buyers. It should, but conservative propaganda and fear-mongering will likely win out.
Compelling New Sex Work Study Read MoreNot that we need another reason to use sex toys, but Bobbie Morgan provides a straight-up article about the many health benefits of using dildos, vibrators, prostate massagers and kegel balls. They do the body good!
Sex Toys Make You Feel Good…In Many Ways! Read MoreWOW! This excellent piece by Jillian Keenan on the sexual nature of spanking has blown my mind. I found it and bookmarked it to read this morning and now my day is going to be filled with this incredible debate: Is there a difference between spanking of a sexual manner and the act parents do to children? My spanking background: I was not spanked as a child (I don’t think) and I did not ever spank my children (just not my belief system). I do include spanking in my sexual play, both giving and receiving. In that play, it is …
Is Spanking Inherently Sexual? Read MoreI don’t really like the way these 12 Sex Things Men Don’t Care about are written—there’s a time and a place for coarse, sarcastic humour and things women have been shamed for isn’t that moment—but I do, wholeheartedly agree with some of the sentiments and actualities.
If a Guy Wants to Have Sex With You, He’s Good with All of You Read MoreThis post makes some interesting points about how women who masturbate can have stronger relationships. It is cool to note that masturbation is now seen as an empowering act whereas it was, for so long, derided and thought of as shameful. Gotta love how those tables have turned!
Masturbation Creating Stronger Relationship? Read MoreIf you’re a fan of call and response in terms of questions about sex, do yourself a favour and check out Dr. Justin Lehmiller’s blog every week for Sex Question Friday. This week, Dr. Lehmiller compiles the 10 Most Popular Questions on Sex and Psychology. The general theme is “what is normal?”. Is there anything at all normal about any kind of sex?
What is Normal in Sex? Read MoreA new study aims to debunk the idea of “lesbian bed death.” According to Dr. Justin Lehmiller, past studies have usually shown that sex activity in lesbian relationships is less frequent than in mixed sex and gay male relationships. However, this new study shows that the time spent on those sex encounters is waaaay longer than those for het folks and gay men. Simply a case of quality over quantity?
It Ain’t Lesbian Bed Death…It Is Just About Quality! Read MoreIt is really great to see such an enthusiastic article on the topic of period sex. It is one of those things that never really gets talked about, or if it is mentioned, it is immediately negative and stigmatized. But really, what does period sex come down to: yes or no. And that yes or no comes from the woman who is menstruating. If she is into it, why not? If you get into it too, then all the better. Personally speaking, it is neither a significant turn-on nor a turn-off. To me it is still just sex. We just …
Earning Your Red Wings: Period Sex Read MoreI love Krissy Eliot’s account of visiting a sexological bodyworker! In this case, it is one of my heroes, Dr. Charlie Glickman, and a topic close to my heart—anal sex. I recently contributed a chapter about anal sex to a soon-to-be released book called Secrets of the Sex Masters. In it, my editors and I spent a lot of time considering the idea that anal can be painful, and that is likely due to inexperience and ineptness on the part of the person touching your ass. And this is where sexological bodyworkers can help. Not just with anal sex, but with …
