masturbation

While gloves are helpful for making sure that no ejaculate reaches your genitals during manual sex, the primary benefit is that things are both clean and smooth. Obviously, hands tend to carry tons of bacteria. Just think about all of the things that your hands or your partner’s hands come into…

Well, if you’re just feeling strong sexual desire, not any attachment to that particular person, then masturbation is generally the best solution. Really, that’s the thing to do, always, when we don’t want intimacy with someone else, but only or solely want to just satisfy our own sexual needs and…

One of the absolute worst reasons to have sex – and a great way to assure that the sex you have won’t leave you feeling great physically or emotionally – is because everyone else is doing it, or because you feel left out. When you have sex with a partner, it should be about you and about that…

Not an easy question, but I’ll do my best. I’m going to assume we’re not talking about infibulated women, but in the case you are, just write back and we’ll tackle that, too. One thing to understand is that one unfortunate aspect of defining virginity by the state of the hymen is that it just isn’t…
