The term "sexuality" can be used a lot like the word "sex." They're both terms we say and hear a lot, but which often aren't clearly defined. We take for granted everyone knows what sexuality means, a heck of an assumption to make with something that covers so many important things and can feel as murky as Lake Erie. So: what's it all about?

There are gay or bisexual men who love or like anal sex, it's true. But there are also gay or bisexual men who don't like it, or who just aren't interested in it. There are heterosexual men who don't like anal sex or aren't interested in it, either. There are also heterosexual men who like or love...

These are excellent questions, and I don't think it's surprising at all that this all feels confusing. We unfortunately have a very, very long history of some profound misunderstandings of sexual anatomy and sexual response and a relatively short history of study and comprehensive education and...

I want to start by debunking a few things, especially one thing you said which anyone who helps people with sexuality for their job hears all the time.

yougivemefever's question continued: My boyfriend was hesitant to try to please me in the first place because he's inexperienced and gets frustrated. He gets upset he can't reciprocate.

I think there's a sounder, healthier solution than trying different sexual positions or doing more kegels. Because the problem here isn't your vagina. I don't think the problem is your partner being uneducated about vaginas, either. I'm not even he is even earnestly feeling the physical differences...

Here are some other questions we've had like this one recently: I'm a newly married man. I was suspecting my wife was a virgin but the result came opposite then what I was suspecting. When we had sex for the first time there was no bleeding and I did not feel the vagina is so tight. It means is my...

prince_12's question continued Really I am very ignorant that this is how the girl masturbate. I chatted with several guys two days ago, and now i am very worried about my body. Until this moment, I still feel jelly like and watery from down inside for no reason. I am not chatting for two days and I...
