Male chastity—the act of men avoiding or inhibiting their sexual desires—is a huge turn-on for guys seeking submission or building up to a much more explosive release later on.

It was not just beeping, it was radiating. A signal, in red circular waves. Somewhere nearby, a man was in need of a blowjob and Alfie was determined to find him. He used his cellphone like a compass – holding it in the palm of his hand and pointing it in slightly varying directions, finding…

Are you primarily attracted to men, women, both, or neither? Fascinating research shows that we may not consciously realize who attracts us.

While bartending one evening, HE walks in. You know the type. The confident, intimidating alpha male that demands the room acknowledges his presence.

Far too often we talk about sex as simply a physical act. A way to scratch an itch, “get off,” or release some building sexual tension. But, of course, sex can be so much more than that. In the context of a consensual partnership, sex can be a way to experience closeness and connection, a…
