Issues in the bedroom, STIs, contraception, seduction, wild fantasies and last but not least your sex drive; these subjects aren’t always straightforward to address with your friends. Having a fulfilled sex life requires a certain openness and an appreciation of your body. Knowing yourself and loving yourself are two very important for a fun and satisfying sex life. There a no taboos here, no subject is too obscure.
When it comes to a satisfying sex life, everyone is different. Some of us need kinky games, whereas others are much more classic when it comes to their bedroom activities. The most important thing is listening to your body and your inner needs.
'Sex is an emotion in motion.'
- Mae West
“Never on the first night!” We’ve all heard or uttered this phrase before. But here you are, in front of someone attractive, looks are exchanged, and the temperature rises little by little. This is when the angel and the demon on your shoulders start the debate: Is it better to wait before sleeping with this stranger? Or can you give in to the temptation? You wouldn’t want to be thought of as promiscuous, but at the same time, you only live once. We’ll tell you right now how much patience you can or can’t have!
As with many things in life, narcissists also have unhealthy relationships with sex and treat it as nothing more than a self-gratifying activity. After all, manipulation, control, and emotional abuse are their so-called trusty weapons that they hide behind in most circumstances, so why wouldn’t they call on them in the bedroom too? The bottom line is people with this personality disorder are used to getting what they want and will only ever put themselves and their pleasure first, which doesn’t bode well for a healthy sex life. 🙈 Discover the weird things narcissists do in the bedroom and what you should do if you are involved with one.
“Mommy, how are babies made?” I asked my parents this very question when I was a child. They told me a story about a pill that a “bride” had to eat during the wedding meal and BOOM, it made a child 9 months later. This story left a lasting impression on me because it misinformed me about sex. I kept asking myself questions, and the rumors at school didn’t help me. So if there’s one thing I want to do in the future is to talk about sex to my children without any taboo.
In this day and age, we are surrounded by sex, to the point where we literally can't escape it. Whether it be in commercials, magazines, movies or even successful books, it plays an important part of our lives. Yet, for the most part, it’s not a subject that never comes up in our conversations. If we chat about it, we often feel like we are opening the door on our bedroom activities and offering our intimacy up to critical eyes. But why is this fascinating and widespread subject so shameful and taboo to talk about? Here are our explanations on why we have such a hard time chatting about one of our favorite leisure activities.
“She didn’t say anything”, “We were drunk”, “She had it coming with the clothes she was wearing”. Unfortunately, we’ve all heard these kinds of remarks. They’re not any less unacceptable. They show that consent is still a vague, even unknown concept for many people. However, giving your consent should be at the heart of any human and sexual relationship. So let’s define consent and remind ourselves why it’s so important.
When we hear about sex addiction, Michael Douglas, Tiger Woods or Leïla Slimani’s novel “Adèle” come to mind. But what really is sex addiction? How can it be defined? Can we compare it to drug, gambling or alcohol addictions? Having sex how many times per day constitutes a sex addict? We’ll answer all your questions.
If you’re Spanish-speaking, make no mistake, we’re talking about sapiosexual, from the Latin “sapio”, which means “intelligent, wise, knowledgeable”, and not “sapo”, which translates into English as “toad”. In other words, a sapiosexual is someone who is attracted to another person’s intellect before considering their physical beauty. Rest assured, it's not someone who wants to kiss a toad on the lips in the hope of seeing it turn into Prince Charming… All will be explained.
Now, many of you are no doubt scratching your head wondering what candaulism means, but some of you must already know by now, and that would explain the recent spike in Google searches for the term. Candaulism is in fact a sexual practice in which a man exposes his female partner or photos of her, to other consenting people. This particular fantasy is therefore associated with exhibitionism. Although that’s not all, the term can also apply to a male partner watching his girlfriend or wife making love to someone else. So, let’s take a peep (get it?) at this practice.
That’s right, masturbation isn’t exclusively reserved for men, and us girls can enjoy the benefits of this practice too. It may seem like a very taboo subject, although over time it is becoming more and more talked about online, but that’s not to say that women feel comfortable with the idea… Many women run away from this pleasure and refuse to take care of themselves because they feel a cocktail of shame, fear, and embarrassment. Masturbation is all about self-care and making love to your body, and it’s one that no one should feel too guilty to practice.
It’s the summer and the temperature is rising… at least outside, because not so much at home for me. Fifteen years of a relationship have finally taken the edge off the desire. A kiss out of habit, a touch here and there and making when we think of it. If there are platonic and fulfilling relationships, I don’t want one of them. I’m going to raise the temperature in my relationship, and I’m going to do it now!
What are people in a sexless relationship called? Are they roommates? Or even platonic lovers? For me and for many others; sex is the foundation of any relationship, but being the curious person that I am, finding an answer to this question seemed like a challenge I couldn't turn down. Thinking back to the early days of my relationship, going 3 days with no action between the sheets was virtually impossible, yet, many couples say putting a stop to love making saved them. This got me thinking and after reading more about sexual abstinence, it got me thinking about the benefits of giving the bed springs a break.
There was a period when I was single in my twenties, in between two long-term relationships, it doesn’t hurt! Of course, I had some one-night stands and regular hook-ups. Except that by sleeping with the same person, spending evenings together, and even forming a bond, I ended up getting attached… Is it bad to get attached to a purely sexual relationship? How should you react when it’s not reciprocal? I’ll share my experience with you.
There I was quietly enjoying my coffee with my coworkers when the new girl walked past. Her appearance left me totally overwhelmed and virtually speechless! This girl is gorgeous, she exudes something so magnetic that I struggle to take my eyes off her. The one problem is; I’m already in a relationship, but with a man! Do my sudden feelings for her mean I’m actually bisexual? Have I totally misunderstood my sexuality all of these years?!
Admit it, whenever you’ve hooked up with a guy, you’ve always caught yourself wondering what he thought after your steamy session? You’ve no doubt been curious as to know what he thought about your body, and even how he rated your performance. With all these questions flying around, I thought it was about time I revealed what men really think after you sleep with them, so with this in mind, let’s plunge deep into the sometimes X-rated thoughts guys have afterward.
The term pansexual is still fairly unknown in today’s society, yet it’s been around for many years. We’re hearing it more and more often in the media and on the internet, although, we don’t really know what it means or whom it refers to. Over recent years, world-famous artists have helped the cause and opened up that expressing their sexuality in this way, including Miley Cyrus. Let’s take a look at what pansexuality means.
"Be yourself; everyone else is already taken."
