As humans we automatically assign meaning to nearly everything… especially those who are prone to over analyzing. And for the most part, this is a fair way to live, as the way in which things are said, done, and shown can have different intentions. Take a hug, for example. It’s a universal symbol of comfort,…
There are some people who need no prompting in order to ramp up their sexual desires, who either want sex or are receptive to it at all times. Then, there are others who take a little more coaxing or warming up before they get in the mood. Sometimes – read: more often than you think…
Pansexuality is the sexual attraction to cooking equipment. That is not true. Pansexuality is an identity gaining more and more acceptance at the moment. It can be broadly defined as an attraction of one kind or another to other people regardless of their sexual or gender identity. The word was originally a psychological term with…
Isn’t it funny that, so often, people tend to harbor intense negative feelings towards an ex? Even though at one point they may have seen them as the centre of their universe? A person that you perhaps once thought was ‘the one’ is now someone that you simply cannot stand. But as they say, time…
For centuries, Japan was deliberately closed off to the rest of the world, which helped create a firmly traditional, male dominant and morally strict society, quite oppressive to women and the lower class. Surprisingly enough, that did not necessarily imply they were sexually repressed, so behind the thin walls of their bedrooms they often led…
For ever and a day, we’ve been socialised to believe that true happiness comes when it’s shared… with a romantic partner. All romantic comedies and fairytale storybooks say so, so it has to be true, right? But all jokes aside, our bodies are even built in such a way to support and encourage finding a…
If I had a dollar for every man who ‘confessed’ his sex addiction to me, I’d be very popular at the strip club. “I’m a sex addict.” If that is not a line us ladies have heard at least once by some guy in a bar, have we really played the field as extensively as…
Today, October 11th, marks the 31st Anniversary of National Coming Out Day. How amazing is it to say that in our lifetime? The LGBTQ community has overcome heaps of obstacles, and even though there are more to go, I’m happy to witness and participate in this progress as an ally. While coming out is an…
Last week, an interracial couple were refused a wedding by an events company in a Southern US state. This comes on the back of increasing recent coverage featuring gay and queer couples who have been turned away for everything from hotels to birthday and wedding cakes by business owners claiming that their faith, or their…
The average LELO lover is a well-heeled sort; a globetrotter who has traversed the continents and zigzagged the map with their wild wanderings. And because you’re reading this now, we can (rightly) assume that you yourself have felt the urge to turn that next corner or crest that next hill, if only to see what’s…

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…

As we come out of the other side of this year’s Sexual Health Week, we reflect and consider what has been achieved in the step towards developing a more sex positive culture and society, and this year it was so needed; the theme being Relationships, Sex & Disability. 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…

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…
