Just when I thought I was done talking about how your partner can’t read your mind, science had to go and say that in some ways they can. It isn’t exactly mind reading or telepathy though. They have found that in many cases, people who are very close with each other start exhibiting the same [...]
If you haven’t read or seen The Princess Bride, stop reading this now and do one or the other before you read this any further (spoiler alert). The book and the film are both excellent and I highly recommend them.
My aunt suggested that I watch this video about how to talk to your kids about Star Wars. My reaction to this video, unsurprisingly, was to wonder if the parents in the clip would be as eager to talk to their kids about sex as they were about talking to them about Star Wars.

For example, one of my Aussie friends was terribly amused when I asked what football team I should “root” for (“root” means “have sex with” in Aussie slang). But even within [...]
Question: After my girlfriend comes, she gets super sensitive. It’s like I can’t even go near her clitoris without her batting me away. In light of her sensitivity, how can I get her to have two orgasms in a row? Is this normal? Answer: Yes, it is totally normal and within the range of typical [...]
In previous weeks, I introduced Must#1 and Must#2 for Great Sex. Now for Must#3: Talk to each other! Blah, blah, blah.

Loading ...Longtime MSP readers will know that we are big fans of Clarisse Thorn‘s writing: she intelligently tackles important sex topics such as BDSM, sexual submission, open relationships, and sex-positivity. So we of course were super-excited when her book, Confessions of a Pickup Artist Chaser, came out (available on Amazon and Smashwords and in paperback). Clarisse [...]
