How could a ritual hand sign add sparks to your orgasm? It turns out that the 108 mudrās of Buddhism and Hinduism are an ancient form of electrical engineering. When you extend a finger, it’s like raising an antenna. When you join two fingers, you’re completing a circuit within your bio-electrical field. Add your genitals into the equation to create a “ground”—an absorber of unlimited amounts of current.

Sounds like a new diet book. The new elixir of life guaranteed to bring you money, riches, the new love of your life, fame…you fill in the rest.
However for a perimenopausal woman dealing with the mood swings weight gain or headaches that brings PMS on steroids 25 days out of the month to your [...]

In response to one of my recent articles on male anal pleasure, an interested customer said that he found my articles for women very interesting — but wanted to know how a guy can let his girlfriend know that he’s interested in trying some anal play.
This is a very common question — one that more [...]

The truth is out there…
With all of the craziness of viral videos, the YouTube phenomenon, and visual assaults from web sites everywhere, good sex information can be hard to come by on the world wide web. Juvenile behavior and humor seems to be the rule in many cases, and judging from unmonitored comments on a [...]

I had always thought of myself as a sexually progressive person.
I had little difficulty acknowledging my bisexuality early on in my teens and once I became sexually active, I liked to think of myself as someone who was open to experimentation whether it was new positions, new partners, fantasy play or Bondage/Fetishism. What I didn’t [...]

When was the last time you took a good long look at a pussy? Do you know where your (or your girlfriend’s) clitoral cruras are? Even if you’re a hoohoo master, I’ll bet you can’t name all the parts of the clitoris! (Hint: What we routinely call our clit is really just the [...]

In sex education, porn and locker-room talk, fellatio certainly gets its due — but what about the humble handjob? Oral sex has an intimacy that, for many, even surpasses intercourse. But a handjob, to this day, has a reputation as second-best, or more like third-best, the sort of furtive action that occurs in back seats [...]

In October 1998, the city of Boston hosted the first international consensus development conference on female sexual dysfunction. This meeting was made up of physicians chosen by the American Foundation for Urologic Disease, and came to the conclusion that female sexual dysfunction was a legitimate, diagnosable psychiatric condition. The year 1998 just happens to be [...]

In my previous articles in this series, I’ve discussed how an anal-interested girl can invite a man to let her explore his butt, how to get started and how to explore the deeper excitement of male anal eroticism. I’m tempted to say, “On to the main event,” but looking at strap-on play as a “main [...]

In part one of this series, I discussed erectile dysfunction (ED) and some of its psychological causes. The mental aspects of erection and arousal in men are murky at best, partially because each man has such a different relationship to arousal. Many myths and cultural values can aggravate the discomfort a man feels when he [...]

If there’s one type of vibrator that’s guaranteed to elicit a response from would-be toy owners, it’s the twice-as-nice vibe. At our retail stores, people pick up these toys with an initial look of befuddlement. Their look quickly turns into enlightenment, followed, nine out of ten times, by a deep blush and giggle.
These vibes do [...]

We hear a lot about erectile dysfunction (ED) in the news, in commercials, in advertisements. The most talked-about new prescription drug in recent years is Viagra, the trade name for sildenafil, which treats erectile dysfunction. But what is erectile dysfunction, how common is it, and what does it really mean for a healthy sex life?
Erectile [...]

I’ve always loved sex toys. Ever since I got my first Hitachi I’ve loved trying the different options and attachments for it — and of course, as much as I love that old workhorse, I adore trying new toys as well.
And anyone who’s read my previous articles in “Male Sexual Pleasure” knows that I’m not [...]

Penis pumps have been around the sex toy world for decades. In the non-sex toy world, nipple pumps have long provided relief to lactating mothers. It was really just a matter of time until nipple pumps made the trip downward to be used on the clitoris. But though it took a while for clit pumps [...]

Double penetration is a huge fantasy for many women and men — we need only to look to its prevalence in erotic videos to find that out. Called “DP” in the adult video industry, double penetration has become a common variation shown in porn, and one that video consumers increasingly expect and want. But how [...]

The odors and tastes found between women’s thighs have had volumes of euphemisms written to commemorate, or denigrate, their uniquenesses. While researching my new book The Ultimate Guide to Cunnilingus, I encountered oceans of euphemisms, yet little actual information about the way women smell and taste. Women and men who enjoy performing cunnilingus will gush [...]

Rimming, or analingus, is when you kiss, caress or penetrate your lover’s anal opening with your tongue. For many people, rimming is a delicious experience, both on the giving and the receiving end. Some say there is nothing as arousing as having their lover’s warm, soft tongue and lips give them pleasure in such an [...]

Taboo
Anal sex may be one of the biggest taboos left in our society. Some people still view it as “dirty,” “bad,” or even “disgusting.” For some women this is a major block. It may help to look at why anal sex is seen this way and to see whether or not you personally agree with [...]

The most important thing to remember about giving great head is that a mind-shattering blowjob is not a one-size-fits-all proposition. Penises come in many different shapes and sizes, and each penis has its own unique range of stimulation. Just as every penis is different, every guy will be different. Pay attention to your partner while [...]

As a bisexual woman I’ve given and gotten my fair share of girl-head. I’ve had some snatch sucking that has made me scream with rapture and some that has kept me watching the clock. So listen up girls and boys, I’m going to share my tricks of the tongue and teach you how to turn [...]

As someone who spends a fairly large percentage of his time in heated spaces with naked males, I’ve seen more than my share of guys jerking off.
And I can testify that while there are a million minor variations, 99% of the wanks I’ve seen have followed a predictable pattern: hand on hard dick, hand pumping [...]

In the last two “Male Pleasure” columns (available in the archives above), I talked about how you could bring up the subject of male anal love and get started playing with your boy’s butt.
If everything’s gone swimmingly, you might want to expand your technique, adopt new tools and help your man enjoy new forms of [...]

Last month I discussed a few ways you might open up the avenues of communication with your man, and let him know you’re interested in playing with his butt. What then? Suppose he tells you he’s interested. How do you get started? Though last month’s column applied pretty much to women getting it on with [...]

Plenty of guys are fascinated by buttholes — or at least by the idea of buttholes. Want proof? Why does anal sex appear in practically every mainstream erotic video made in recent years?
On the other hand, why is it that those videos always feature the woman on the receiving end? Not that I’m complaining, mind [...]

You’ve already seen the telltale signs. Red silk roses and heart-shaped candy boxes are piling up in your local store. These Valentine’s Day gifts may be classics, but you’re an original. So instead of the tired bouquets and bonbons, why not give your woman what she really wants this year: an evening spent enjoying your [...]
