Sexual fantasies… the majority of us have one or more. And some of these fantasies are so far removed from reality, making it even more appealing.

This is by no means a scholarly thesis,…
Breasts… a versatile, life-giving part of the body! And while we often think only of women when it comes to nipples, men have nipples because they’re formed early on during the gestation period.

Masturbation is weird. There are a million reasons we do it, and then we do it for no reason at the same time. It’s just something we’re compelled to do, and the large majority of us have no problem giving in to that compulsion. But what if someone asks you why you do it? What…

May was, once again, Masturbation Month , a whole month of masturbatory glee invented in the 90s by an enviously forward-thinking sex toy store in New York.

According to Gorge Carlin, “If god had intended us not to masturbate, he would have made our arms shorter.” A recent representative survey of 6000 14-94 year old US citizens found that virtually all of them had masturbated at some point.
