There is real, solid science that shows the brain activity of young transgender people more closely resembles the brain patterns of the gender they believe they are than the gender they were assigned at birth. Transgenderism is the experience of, or identification with, a gender different from the one they were assigned at birth. Gender…
In the span of three to four decades, HIV/AIDS has swept the entire world, making it a pandemic affecting millions. And to think that at the beginning of the 1980’s, medical professionals believed that it was Kaposi’s Sarcoma, a fairly harmless cancer, while seeing cases of pneumonia rise considerably. By 1981, the first diagnosis of…
Right now, as you’re reading this, there are hundreds of thousands of people watching porn. Around one million years’ worth of porn was watched last year, and 20 porn videos were watched for every person on Earth. You know how it’s said that if everyone in America were to jump in the air and land…
Whether you’ve been dating for five weeks or going steady for five years, doubt within a relationship (and life in general) is normal.

I want him. I want him so much. He’s absolutely gorgeous. From the second I first laid eyes on him, I have fantasized about him. Imagined what his kiss would feel like, the sensation of his hand cupping my chin as he lowers his face to mine and presses his lips to my mouth. Imagined…

While being newly single can feel like a weight it lifted off your shoulders, it’s also terrifying, especially if you’ve invested years into a long-term relationship. Putting yourself out there is not easy, and there’s no guide on how to do it, when to do it, or whom to do it with. If only. The…
Love, as we perceive it, is a chemical reaction. It’s a feeling, something that can be tangible in the form of a hug, a kiss , a smile, or the presence of sincerity in someone’s eyes. But who are we to judge what love personally means to an individual? How can we label one act…
One caveat before we start talking about multiple orgasms — there is actually very little scientific research on this topic. I hate giving people information that’s not based on good, solid research, but I’ll do my best. Honestly, we’re all a bit confused about this. We can’t even decide on a definition. Some experts define…

We’re well into the 21st century and if you don’t have an electronic sex toy by now, you might want to check if you’re stuck in a time capsule. If we have speakers that do our grocery shopping, and cars that drive themselves, certainly there’s a sex toy that can level up your sex life.…

As humans we automatically assign meaning to nearly everything… especially those who are prone to over analyzing.

Pansexuality is the sexual attraction to cooking equipment. That is not true. Pansexuality is an identity gaining more and more acceptance at the moment.

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…

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…

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.

The amount of sex you have regularly declines with age, and for postmenopausal women , that decline accelerates. That’s not news.

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…
