Said differently, a good personal lubricant is a penetration device, which means that it offers a slippery glide to extend and comfort intimate friction. It gives you more time to try different positions and...
Adult novelties are products that everyone wants, but no one is really willing to talk about. A report in 2001 by CBC suggested that the market for vibrating toys in North America alone is worth $400 to $500 million.

He stands in the kitchen chopping Brussels sprouts for dinner. Beside him, on the miniscule counter, a couple of other cutting boards are covered in chopped vegetables. The sprouts are seasoned and oiled and ready to go into the oven when the tray slips from his hands and somersaults through the air, leaving cut, oiled Brussels sprouts all over the white tile floor.
This is a common occurrence in...

We describe our food as having flesh, making clear its libidinal qualities–we put this flesh in our mouths, publicly take it into our bodies, make more of ourselves by its nutriment. Our food’s flesh is made of what it has digested–water, sun, minerals in the soil, other flesh. Meat has flesh; so does fruit; fruit can be “meaty,” and a well-cooked mushroom might be meaty, too. Eggplant, tomato,...
It’s difficult to relax on the Internet, especially social media — Twitter and Facebook are like open mics where everyone is simultaneously speaking their opinions about everything, all the time. The pressure to have an opinion and to share it in new, cleverer and louder ways can be quickly exhausting. I find myself forgetting what I really care about, losing track of my own feelings, and becoming...

There is something deep and primal about the sounds that come from sex. Whether you are with a new partner or with someone you’ve been...
“We must give more in order to get more. It is the generous giving of ourselves that produces the generous harvest.” -Orison Swett Marden
It is not uncommon for me to get a random text from my kids’ teenaged friends inquiring about sexual issues. They are important questions that even with as few characters as these mini communications provide, are laced with anxiety and edged with a bit of...
“Just because we don’t understand doesn’t mean that the explanation doesn’t exist.” -Madeleine L’engle
My favorite thing to do is teach and last weekend I was lucky to have the chance to give a presentation to 50 physicians about working with their patients’ sexual dysfunction issues. I thought it would be easy- like falling off a log as I spend so much of my days thinking, researching and...
