If it looks uncomfortable, it probably is so... don't bother, unless you're a show off! There are a few basics that everyone needs to try out, but the... Continue Reading →
Yesterday, I got a bit stuck with my A-to-Z of Sex. I tried to think about what to use for O, but the only words I could think of were the extremely obvious Oral and Orgasm. Either of those would be at home in an A-to-Z in any mainstream magazine - I really had to... Continue Reading →
Seeing as this week has inadvertently become more about clothes than sex - a nice contrast to last week! - it makes perfect sense for the N in my A-to-Z to be for None. Nothing. No sex at all.
