Quarantine had just begun, and I clung to the two-week deadline with certainty. Surely, an entire civilization couldn’t remain closed for more than 14 days?

As weeks stumbled into months, I searched the internet for positive ways to work on myself. I figured this was the best distraction from uncertainty.

That’s how I found The Science of Well-Being, a virtual course offered by Yale University. When I saw that enrollment was free (and it still is) I signed up, hoping to gain some wisdom on how to psychologically survive a global health crisis.

By week four of the class, I…

Tribadism, or dry humping, is one of the first sex acts that humans gravitate towards as kids. Providing our younger selves with the first delicious taste of sexual stimulation. I know of many people who began their sexual journey by practicing tribadism with a pillow or stuffed animal. I even know a Dominatrix whose submissive begs to rub his erection against a bedpost while she watches; tribadism mixed with voyeurism is his cocktail to achieve orgasm.

Regardless of one’s gender identity, tribadism can be a satisfying and empowering sex act.

One beauty of dry humping is how we can enjoy…

This is an article for any dear and daring heterosexual male that isn’t quite sure why or how their good intentions get misconstrued. The ones who feel lonely and want a sex friend or a romantic partnership. The ones who are unsure what “being a gentleman” can look like in a world of feminism, #MeToo, and getting laid.

I’m a sex scholar who graduated from Berkeley and I help feminine people feel healthy and empowered in their sexuality. As you can imagine, I hear some horror stories, but I also see what inspires women to say “yes, more please!”

I didn’t consider that a reason he took so long during penetrative sex was that he was waiting for signals that I’d orgasmed. From the beginning, sex with him was pleasurable until it was all about endurance. I was embarrassed to mention these feelings, believing that “normal girls” could keep up in bed. I recalled my friends gushing about their sex lives, assuming everyone but me was experiencing mind-blowing pleasure. I was the problem, it was the only conclusion.

Until that conclusion was not enough. Instead, a new mantra took its place: why not me? Everyone else seems to be…

Alice grabbed my arm, her nails threatening to tear my skin, as she breathes into my ear, “there’s blood on your pants.” I immediately knew what had happened, my period runneth over and seeped through my clothing. Daring to expose my womanness to the world.

Why do we feel shame for something our bodies do naturally? It was the question running through my mind as I stood in the girl's locker room, at twelve years old, with my pants in my hands. I had two choices, wash the groin and look like I’d just peed myself or steal a cardigan…

Studies have actually found that showering with a lover helps to reduce stress. And we all know that orgasms also relieve stress too. With that extra dose of oxytocin, stress hormones are reduced. Combine the two, and that’s some serious levels of calm.

When it comes to improving your sex life, one of the simplest methods to increase pleasure is to add variety to your sex routine. Studies show that novelty increases our levels of dopamine, commonly referred to as the “feel-good hormone”. Dopamine plays a powerful role in how we…

When it comes to sex, our brains are just as powerful as our bodies. In fact, since size seems to matter so much in the bedroom, you should know that your brain is actually your biggest sex organ. Understanding our neuropathways is empowering information. It can help us practice erotic wellness and elevate sexual pleasure.

According to the neuroscience of pleasure, if you enjoy responsibility, you might love being a BDSM submissive. There are several personality types in particular who may enjoy this sensation: people who gravitate towards high power careers, those who excel in project management, and stay-at-home parents…

Femininity belongs to everyone and no one embodied that truth better than SOPHIE, a Grammy-nominated artist whose electronic beats have been called insistent, ethereal, and mesmerizing. Three days ago, in Athens, Sophie Xeon was climbing to watch the full moon which resulted in a fatal fall.

“Tragically our beautiful Sophie passed away this morning after a terrible accident,” SOPHIE’s labels, Transgressive and Future Classic, explain. “True to her spirituality she had climbed up to watch the full moon and accidentally slipped and fell. She will always be here with us. …
