I recently read an inspiring article in The Guardian about several women who are working at the radical edge of sex positive feminism, called “ The Pleasure Revolution .” I was particularly struck by this line: “#MeToo was about men imposing their pleasure on women. The pleasure revolution is about women asserting their own pleasure.” Time to Claim Our Right to Sexual Pleasure Women, it’s time. Time to assert our rights to our own sexual pleasure. Throughout most of history,

According to Ashley Madison’s recent survey, only 67% of both men and women said they felt comfortable telling their sexual fantasies to their spouse, while nearly all (95%) said they talked about their sexual fantasies with their affair partner. Most of the survey respondents also said they were more sexually adventurous with their affair partners and comfortable talking about sex during their affair. It would make sense that to have a sexually fulfilling marriage or ongoing

Has technology changed the way we view sex? The increase in technology has changed not only the way we view life, but who we are as people. The use of smart phones, computers, smart watches and other hand held devices has already turned us all into partial-hybrid-humans. As cyborgs sporting robotic extensions of our own bodies, high tech non-permanent partial attachments to our limbs, we are obligated to check in, to post, to swipe, to update, and to check out, almost all the

Not getting the sex you want is never an excuse for violence Have you ever experienced a time in your life when you wanted to have sex but you didn’t have a partner and had trouble finding one? If not, you may have trouble understanding the mindset of a group of men who are now calling themselves Incel, which stands for involuntary celibacy. Many people have trouble making or maintaining sexual connections with others. Most of the time, those people simply deal with their rea

A sexless marriage is not hard to define. If you are in a marriage that clearly has not been erotic or sexual for long enough that both of you feel deprived, you can classify it as “sexless.” How Sexless Marriages Develop I recently gave my expert opinion on recognizing the signs that you may be headed toward (or already in) a sexless marriage. Often it has been so long since you have had sex that it feels almost impossible to get back to it. For some couples this may be sev

Recent articles (like this one by Ian Kerner on CNN ) have been talking about the phenomenon that people in the U.S. today are having less sex than in previous decades. Why Are People Having Less Sex? A variety of reasons have been identified for the decrease in sexual activity. One reason? Parenthood later in life means people have less energy to both parent and to have sex, especially since modern parenting includes more direct involvement in children’s lives. Health is a

Have you lost interest in sex? Do you miss the energy you used to have for sensuality, intimacy or your partner? There are many things that can be done if you want to increase your sexual desire. First, understand why low sex drive happens. It can be caused by stress, relationship difficulties, medication side effects, or your diet.

A healthy, regular sex life has a number of physical health benefits. Now a new study shows that regular sex can keep you young, too. How Sex Can Keep You Young In addition to reducing stress, lowering blood pressure, reducing perceptions of pain, and boosting your immune system, researchers have recently discovered that women who have sex on a weekly basis have longer telomeres. What’s a Telomere? Telomeres are structures at the end of each DNA strand that affect how each o

Sexual desire is tied to our mental, emotional, and physical health. If you’re not getting the sex you want, you may be neglecting one or more of these areas of your life. You may need to take some steps to rekindle the spark in your relationship. Elite Daily recently published an article describing seven things you can change to improve your sex life. Exercise, eating healthy, and getting enough sleep are all important aspects of self care that can make you more receptive t

If you’re like me, you sleep with your cell phone next to your bed. You may even have a clock radio and/or a television in your bedroom. I know many of you work on your laptop sitting up propped on pillows with your legs under the covers. If any of these things are true, you may be harming your sex life. Your bedroom should be a sacred oasis, devoted either to sleep or sex. Nothing else. There should be no electronics, wires, or screens in your bedroom. Think about the effect
