The Middle Ages had courtly love, punishments for doing anything but the missionary position, condoms made from animal bladders, and fashionable gigantic codpieces to bring attention to a man’s winky.
No woman should ever stand in front of a man and ask him to love her. Literally or metaphorically. The man worth having will love you long before the question even crosses your mind.

We hope the first item on your list of qualities in a romantic partner is that they’re crazy about you (and who wouldn’t be, seriously?). As for the general idea of making a list of what you want in a partner, well, we say yes… and no…

I look my best after an entire hair and makeup team has spent hours perfecting me. When do I feel my best? When I haven’t looked in a mirror for days, and I’m doing things that make me happy.
Some people are more experimental in bed and others are more boring… If you are wild and crazy, bring it on so the other person is well aware that you have little devil horns that come out every once in a while.
Porn actresses were more likely to identify as bisexual, first had sex at an earlier age, had more sexual partners, were more concerned about contracting a sexually transmitted disease (STD), and enjoyed sex more than the matched sample, although there were no differences in incidence of CSA. In terms of psychological characteristics, porn actresses had higher levels of self-esteem, positive feelings, social support, sexual satisfaction, and spirituality compared to the matched group.

This Mae West quote rocks so hard. (FYI, it was proposed as a Thanksgiving toast in yesterday’s birth control reminder.) And in case you want to know, we’re thankful for you this Thanksgiving. Wishing you a holiday weekend that would make Mae proud—full of gratitude, humor, and sensory delights;)

Try messing up the plush bedding and crisp white sheets; shower together; bring some travel candles and draw a bath for two; wear nothing under those hotel robes and disrobe often; bring fantasy lingerie you wouldn’t usually wear at home; and try some discrete balcony sex if your room has one and the weather permits.
The clitoris is pure in purpose. It is the only organ in the body designed purely for pleasure. The clitoris is simply a bundle of nerves: 8000 nerve fibres, to be precise. That’s a higher concentration of nerve fibres than is found anywhere else in the body, including the fingertips, lips, and tongue, and it is twice the number in the penis. Who needs a handgun when you’ve got a semiautomatic.

When food becomes boring, try fasting for a week. I guarantee you that a simple apple will look delicious at the end of the week, while junk food and sweets will have no appeal. If your sex life as a couple is boring, forbid yourselves from touching each other for a whole week. Dedicate yourselves to the fine art of flirting for that week. If you even last that long, I guarantee that the fire and passion will be back.
