I don't think it's very realistic to expect most of us to feel the exact same way, or "equally," about all men, all women or all people whose gender is outside of that binary. I'm not even sure, I have to say, what feeling "equally" about people, period, would be. People are so radically different...

What it sounds like, to me, is that whatever it is you've been doing sexually just isn't something you feel okay with yet or good about right now. I get that it feels good at the time, but when I talk about sex feeling good, any kind of sexual activities at all, what I mean is sex feeling good...

I think that when it feels like the only way you can get someone to take no or "I'm not ready yet" for an answer is to lie and say you were sexually assaulted, that you probably know all you need to know. Same goes for someone who you say you cannot sit down and talk to about saying you aren't ready...

Everyone will have a time in their life when they are embarrassed for someone “catching” them doing something. You can rest assured that you and your boyfriend are not the only people to have a parent walk in on you during sex. Let’s take a moment first and consider timing. Sex of any kind is...

The short and easy answer: not everyone will feel so compelled as to moan during sex, so there’s nothing wrong with you. A lack of moaning does not mean that you’re not enjoying yourself, just as the presence of moaning does not mean that you are enjoying yourself. So now that we’ve knocked out the...

Let's start with the biggest question: is it wrong to have sex with someone you're not in a capital-R or romantic relationship? You know, all this wrong and right stuff is arbitrary and very personal. I'm sure there are some things for me in my sex and general life that are right as rain for me, but...
