Not too long ago, we published an article entitled, What Makes a Good Submissive? Now, we’re flipping it on its head and asking the question: What makes a ‘good’ dom? In actuality, there is no real definition of what makes a dom or a sub ‘good’ or ‘bad’. It’s not as easy as being awarded…

Either way, you’re in for quite a treat! For starters, bondage isn’t just about using a rope or handcuffs to restrain your partner (or yourself,…
Making bad sexual decisions is, I guess, an almost unavoidable part of growing up. But, just like unhealthy dietary choices, it is also a practice that should preferably be abandoned alongside the days of your youthful carelessness. It is not always clear what constitutes a healthy sex life and when your libido is making you…
Enter the world of a subculture that you perhaps know nothing about. That is, BDSM (Bondage, Dominance, Sadism, Masochism). And for those who’re still learning about the practice of BDSM, here’s a quick cheat sheet. BDSM is a lifestyle that entails consentual erotic practices involving control, submission, discipline, giving or receiving pain for sexual pleasure,…
The amount of sex you have regularly declines with age, and for postmenopausal women , that decline accelerates. That’s not news. The results of our own Global Survey reflect that pattern, as do any other studies that examine the frequency of sex by age. What might be surprising, though, is the cause. It’s long been…

There are so many misconceptions about sexuality…
While the term “flirting” might conjure up thoughts of grade school playgrounds, the truth is, it’s a behavior that we never grow out of.

Warning: this article is about sexual consent and will, by its nature, discuss issues surrounding sexual assault and, in places, will use frank language to do so. Sometimes, to say ‘no’ to sex is to say ‘yes’ to yourself. I hold that to be true, but consent goes beyond saying yes or saying no. In…
I can remember as far back as my high school days and even now, that being around a certain type of guy always made me nervous. It wasn’t until just a few weeks ago that I was able to piece together the why. Up until that moment, it was always like a puzzle in my…
Even in the 21st century, men and women worldwide are being told (and believe) that self-love (aka, masturbation) is wrong or even a sin. For religious, moral or other reasons, these individuals grow up and live with the notion that sexual activity is acceptable within the confinements of their marital bed. Now isn’t that the…

I’d forgive you if you believed that spooning was the best sex position when you have a bad back. After all, spooning leads to forking, am I right? Am I right? I’ll see myself out. But a group of scientists recently studied the way the spine moves during sex to document which positions are best…

Growing up in a heteronormative world can be super confusing for any of us.

I stood in the doorway to our master bedroom, watching. Farah’s hands gripped the headboard so tightly. Framed by her curly, black hair, her face was grimaced. I knew she liked what was happening though. She was seriously enjoying being fucked hard by the man on top. No remorse for her. Her legs were wrapped…
If you’re contemplating a new sex toy purchases – or even buying your very first sex toy – then there are a lot of considerations to make. Do you want a toy that’s primarily for solo use, or a sex toy to use during coupled play ? Which part of your anatomy are you looking…
I promised myself this would be a vacation I’d never forget. Finally, after a very long time of parental persuasion, my friends and I were allowed to spend the summer holidays alone. Our summers were usually spent in boarding schools with strict teachers and little enjoyment. One more thing that was sure to make this…

I have tattoos on my fingers. To me, it’s a subtle reference to one of my favorite literary motifs and it’s taken straight from one of the books that inspired me to become a writer. But to airport security, especially in non-English speaking countries, they look like prison tattoos. As such, I have my bags…
I’ll never forget the time that my bestie and I first admitted to each other that we masturbated. It was after a girlscouts meeting and we were 16.

“Please… how much longer?” The sound of the girl’s voice through the monitor may as well have been in the room with you. You pull the laptop a little closer, as if wanting to be even closer to the girl on screen, wanting to hear every breath, every pant, every sigh. “Until you are crying…
When we refer to sex, the most common assumption is that we are talking about penis in vagina penetration. With the much-needed progression of sex positivity we are starting to widen both our definition and our perspective, about what it means to be sexual. Now what we are experiencing in our current environment is a…
Men are simple creatures. That’s what makes us so complicated. We have a strained relationship with sex, us penis-havers. Growing up, I had a friend who could only get off by shutting his dick in the fridge door. He’s married now. Somehow. To a real human woman and everything, not to an Indesit upright refrigerator.…
I left my office after phoning Steve and went to the bathroom to clean myself up with the realisation that my boss had just used me for his pleasure without my husband’s knowledge and that I had agreed to be available to be used by the partners at the law firm as their slut, with…
Why was the Amish girl excommunicated? Too Mennonite. Modern religion has a strained relationship with sex. Aside from a handful of relatively small sects that hold sex to either be a pathway to the divine, or to be divine itself, most major religions try to restrict and regulate our sexuality, in one way or another.…

What is extreme sex? Well, extreme sex is…the truth is, we can’t really say. Or rather, what we think is extreme might not be extreme for other people. (And, conversely, a lot of what we consider ‘just another day at the office’ might be extreme for other people.) When it comes down to it, if people…
It’s not exactly a secret that we’re fans of feeling ourselves. Making love doesn’t mean that we need others to make love with.

The following question came to my attention recently. It takes a little deconstruction. I just moved into a new shared house on a six-month contract with another girl. On my first day, there was a sex toy on the coffee table in the living room. I don’t know her very well yet, but if I’m…
I was never much of a dancer. I can bust some free-style moves on a nightclub dance-floor should the occasion call for it, but when it comes to slow dancing with a partner, I have two left feet. So when it came time for Chris, the best man, and I, the maid of honour, to…
By all rights, and by every metric, sex on a plane should be rubbish. There’s not enough room, you’re bending over a toilet that’s potentially been used by 40 strangers, and there’s probably a queue of increasingly uncomfortable people impatiently waiting for you to finish outside the 3 milimeter thick door. It shouldn’t be sexy,…
Let’s be honest, oral in porn is actually super terrifying. It seems overly-aggressive and clear to everyone that the actors are… well, just that, acting. The A-B-C technique is sooo 90s. But we’re willing to make the claim that there are oral techniques that can be just as pleasurable as sex. Dare we say that…

A question that LELO gets asked a LOT is this: If I use a sex toy before I have sex, am I still a virgin? Short answer: Yes you are. Go nuts. Happy fapping. Real answer: Have you lost your virginity if you’ve used a sex toy? No, you haven’t. But perhaps not for the…
Ready for a twist on traditional shared pleasure? TARA takes what you think you knew about couples’ massagers and turns it around!

A big part of preventive healthcare is checking in annually to see if everything is being taken care of.

Many years ago, I started a new job at a well-established sex toy company, and was brought on because even back then I’d been doing it for a while. On my first day, I had a meeting with some of the directors and managers. One of them asked me outright, ‘so what does a cock…
