By admin • Jan 1st, 2007 • Category: How-Tos

From Good Vibrations’ Sexual Health/Product Info section:
Of all the ways one can present a cock to a lover — a slow reveal through a button-fly, the sassy untuck from the elastic band of briefs, or the sweet struggle against a tight miniskirt — it’s hard to say which is the most erotic, so we say, [...]

by Greta Christina
I’ve been writing about sex for over half my adult life. Sex writing makes up the vast majority of my writer’s resume, as well as my professional reputation, and my body of published fiction consists entirely of erotica (a.k.a. smut). I’m an ardent supporter of the burgeoning field of erotic fiction, and a [...]

The first sex shop I went to was a run-down trailer full of negligees. They were playing “Hungry Like the Wolf” on the radio as my friend and I walked warily around the store. She was wearing a t-shirt that read “Well-Behaved Women Rarely Make History.” We could not yet bring ourselves to [...]

“Beep! Beep!”
The sound of Patrice’s horn has me clattering down the stairs with my ten year-old niece, Kenya, quick on my heels. My brother’s sweet child had flown to D.C. by herself to be with me for the holiday break, and now my very butch and very impatient girlfriend is waiting outside to [...]

Traveling with sex toys, especially elaborate toys and BDSM equipment has gotten a little trickier in these times of tough airport security. Every seasoned security officer has seen his or her fair share of “massagers,” but it doesn’t mean they won’t stop and question you about an item if they can’t ascertain its [...]

Ah to contemplate the perfect lube.where to begin? Personal lubricants are just that-personal. It’s a very subjective quest.
What I look for in my lubricants is a very slick consistency with the ability to last a long, long time. I know that my mouth will encounter it at some point, even if it’s only [...]

“You’re not serious,” she said. I raised my eyebrows. “What’s wrong with you?” she said, turning her back. We were standing in the bargain barn of the Vermont Country Store, in Rockingham, Vt., an emporium of folksy gifts, old-timey novelties, and practical products for country living.
Hanging on the back wall of the barn was a [...]

By admin • Feb 21st, 2001 • Category: Sex and Culture

The publication of The Multi-Orgasmic Man in 1996 marked the appearance of the first concise, easy-to-understand English-language guide to the fundamentals of male sexuality from a Taoist perspective.
