Now is the winter of our sexual discontent…

More than half of married couples have sex once a month or less - which is defined as a “sexless marriage”.

42% of women are dissatisfied with the current frequency of sex.

62% of women are dissatisfied with the quality of the sex they have.

Only 27% of women orgasm during intercourse, but 60% orgasm during oral sex or finger play.

Improving our sex lives is crucial - both for our physical health and our emotional well-being.

The first step to improvement is talking about it.

Let’s normalize talking about sex.

Experiments in Pleasure

Once a month buy a new sex toy. The variety is so great, that you can do this for years and not run out of ideas. When you get the new toy, plan a date night with your partner. Experiment with it. Try things you’ve never tried before. Be daring. For a very small cost, you will rejuvenate your sex life and you will have an event to look forward to as a couple.

Something to make you think

Things you should know about Foreplay - Part 1

It’s exciting, arousing, fulfilling. It’s confusing, complex, frightening. It’s the most discussed sex topic, yet, it’s not discussed nearly enough. It’s the make or break point for great sex. It’s the perfect clash between passion and patience. It’s what distinguishes great lovers from mediocre ones. This is my guide to a perfect foreplay (Part 1 of 2).

3 pieces of beauty to inspire you

Sex without foreplay is like driving a sports car in second gear. It will take you where you need to go, but you will not experience the real joy of driving it.

The Exceptional

The first tree of this fruit was planted by Aphrodite. It’s lore is tied with sex, love, royalty, justice, imprisonment and gore. What food can serve up as many manners of intrigue in a single orb? Is this the most seductive fruit of them all?
