Auto Draft

Why? Because unless you’re very good and regimented about sitting (or lying) around each day, squeezing your PC muscles multiple times, you probably could use a little help working out your pelvic floor muscles. Kegel balls are great for this, because they work while you move around; if you’re running errands, heading across campus, wheeling down the block, etc, the smaller balls inside the bigger balls rumble/vibrate a little, helping your body work out the muscles, even if you aren’t conscious of doing it. It’s working them out without even having to think about it. [...]

The Map of Sex

Thanks to Babeland for pointing out this brilliant map to me!

AccessRX Podcast

I was lucky enough to get to be interview for AccessRX’s podcast.  Click here to listen to my interview, where I cover everything from “what is romance” to “how to reinvigorate your sex life” and much more. It’s about 15 minutes, but worth listening to. He asked some great questions about sexuality, relationships, sex, romance, communication [...]

What to do about LUBE

There is a new lube study out there, that the media has really picked up on.  According to it, and the media, water-based lube used during anal sex is dangerous, and IF one is to use lube at all, they should use silicone.

I think that this study, and the hype around it, is dangerous itself.  I [...]

Supporting Sexual Assault Survivors

Reposted from my other blog. I thought it was important enough to share in multiple places.

Hey you.

Yes, YOU.

You know a sexual assault survivor…in fact, you probably know a whole bunch.

It doesn’t matter what gender you are, what your orientation is, how many friends you have, where you live, or even whether you have assault/harassesed/raped someone in [...]

LTS Workshop Video

As many of you know, I’ve been working with Fascinations for the last few months, and in February, presented my first workshop for the Let’s Talk Sex series called What’s in Your Toybox.  Because many people don’t live near our stores, or couldn’t make it out for a variety of reasons, we’re going to try and [...]
