Kim Kardashian’s sex toys: what do celebrities keep by their bed?

I confess to not knowing much about Kim Kardashian. My knowledge of pop culture could be written in the margins of a single page of Heat Magazine, and there’d still be enough room left for a shopping list. But strangely, although I know very little about the rest of her life, I do know the […]

Sometimes they want to know how to deal with a mismatched libido, […]

What is a couples vibrator, and why should you try one?

Despite my general love of sex toys, and all things that go ‘bzzz’ in the night, one of the products I was always a little ambivalent about in the past was couples vibrators. Until I actually tried one, that is. Let’s start off by defining our terms: what exactly do we mean by ‘couples vibrator‘? […]

Do you know when your partner is initiating sex?

What do you think about when you masturbate?

Sorry for launching in with such a personal question: I’m feeling feisty this Friday. I’ve just read a sex survey released by Superdrug which asked over 900 adults about their masturbation habits, and gave some really interesting results… Let’s start with the basics: as with all the sex ‘studies’ I link to here, it’s mostly […]
