Plumbing & Protection vs Passion & Pleasure

Talking about sex never gets old. So when faced with the opportunity to do so for two whole days at Sex::Tech, how could I resist?The weekend, while enlightening, also decidedly startled me. I realized what is completely missing from our conversations about sexual health: passion and pleasure.

Fear Not the Bisexual Man

There are many myths about bisexual folk. Some claim they don’t exist and are simply people who have yet to “pick a side”. Bisexuals are often told “it’s just a phase” and are regarded with suspicion as sexual partners can suspect they’ll be unfaithful. Another, perhaps even more frustrating myth, is that men can’t be bi.

Sexual Healing: Can Sex Cure Headaches?

There’s always the danger that, if you leave something until the last minute, something else will crop up to get in the way. Take, for example, the writer who waits until the night before the deadline to write her article, feels a migraine starting and then realises she can’t retire to a darkened room after all.

Is Burlesque Just About Glittery T*ts and Sex?

Earlier this week, I found myself in the centre of some discussions on Twitter regarding what people think of burlesque. Until this point, I'd not actually asked anyone who wasn't my friend or already a fan of that particular form of cabaret, so the responses were almost always exactly the sort of thing I expected.

Sex Meets Science: The Exploratorium's Sexplorations

Jimmyjane's Iconic Vibrator Collection

This time of year, the big V tends to stand for - shudder - Valentine's Day. The one day of the year where couples are hands-down expected to do something romantic. I hate that Valentine's Day can be a no-win situation. If you're single, it's another big rub-in-the-face that you're living "without," that you're off to a singles' party to mope - I mean, to party - with other singles on said night, or at home stuffing your face with a pint of Häagen-Dazs.

Sexy Play Dates, Strictly for Adults

According to Wikipedia, play “refers to a range of voluntary, intrinsically motivated activities that are normally associated with pleasure and enjoyment”. I used to think that play had to be put away with childish things once you reached the age of consent but, thankfully, that really isn’t the case.

Why "Oral Sex" Shouldn't Be Banning Dictionaries

"Oral sex" isn't a bad word. It's not a four-letter expletive; it's not even a nickname for a sexual part of human anatomy. And yet, because it has to do with sex, it MUST BE BAD.That's how some parents down in Menifee, California think, anyway. So passionately that a complaint about "oral sex" being in the Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dicti...
