Reading Time: 2 minutes Monogamy is the ‘status quo’ these days. Whether you’re straight, gay, pansexual, queer, or something else, society expects you to bond with one person for the rest of your life.

You don’t have to twist yourself into a pretzel to try some adventurous new moves – you just need an open mind and a willing partner. The next time you’re about…
Reading Time: 2 minutes “Porn for Women is a Thing” That headline is a bit insulting, isn’t it? It wasn’t so long ago, though, that the “female orgasm” was thought to be just a myth.
