How do I tell her the truth?

Anna heard voices at the end of the hall and paused. The door to Stefan’s studio remained open a crack. A sliver of flickering lamplight drew a line across the Persian rug and made a sharp angle as it ran up the wall. A low, breathy laugh leaked through the crack that most certainly belonged to a woman.

“I love you Gina.“

She was not my girlfriend. I really didn’t want her to be. I was done raising my kids and she had five or six of them under the age of fourteen. I liked her company though, so I hung out with her whenever I could. She was an artist and a damned good one. I would sit and watch her paint, sometimes playing piano quietly in the background. She liked that. She said it relaxed her and helped her do her best work. I loved her energy and was always happy just to be in the same room as her.

It's been a while since I last saw or heard from him. In fact, I would've bet anybody that he wasn't even thinking about me, and why would he? He made it clear that I wasn't important to him and he only responded to my calls/text messages when I reached out first, so why would anything about me cross his mind? As far as I was concerned, I meant nothing to him, was easily replaceable, and therefore there was no reason to keep in contact with me; not only did I understand it, I was comfortable with it. It became a life lesson to be okay when I wanted something or someone that didn't want me. That theory was put to the test when I least expected it and to be honest... it failed me big time... but in a good way. Let me explain further.

Sasha didn't like to let on her attractions. It was nobody's business that she was interested in Jean, and nobody's business that she wanted her body. It wasn't right. It wasn't proper. And Sasha was nothing if not right and proper. Didn't she wear the flattest bras she could find to disguise her awful, enormous, gravity-defying breasts? Didn't she wrap herself in the baggiest clothing to hide her stubbornly sensual curves? There was no way, Sasha thought, that she was going to be one of those girls. She wouldn't wear lipstick. She wouldn't tease. And she certainly wouldn't be a lesbian.

This weekend, I attended my first fetish convention and it was quite an eye-opener.

It’s summertime, and it’s time to enjoy all that the season is known for. There are hot dogs on the grill, ample festivals to attend, and plenty of gorgeous people to have a fun fling with. Of course, there are flings and then there are flings.

July 15th is just around the corner, and you know what that means—Prime Day is coming up fast! This is the one major shopping day that lets Prime members and non-members alike reap amazing deals on some of the hottest merchandise on the planet. Everything from tech to toys is on sale, and if you’re into intimacy-boosting products, you’ll be glad to hear they’re included in the fray, too.

I joined Wattpad in 2012 after the demise of Inkpop (gone, but surely not forgotten). I wanted an outlet where I could showcase my written stories and engage with other writers like me hoping one day to get published. One of the first stories I published on Wattpad garnered 4,000 in over three years. Seeing the traction that story brought, I decided to make a series. Unfortunately, no one was interested.

Anyone who has met me, even for five minutes, can tell you that I love nightlife. In fact, I don't just love it. I eat, sleep, rave, repeat it. It's a true-to-God lifestyle for me, and to a point, yes, clubbing does turn me on quite a bit.

So, let’s be honest with each other. We’ve all done it. At some point we have all clicked onto an adult website in hopes of finding something sexy enough to turn us on.

I want to start this post off by saying that I am not making any of this up to get attention. I'm doing this so that people will feel like they aren't alone. I want people to be aware that this happens. I also want people to look for the signs. I will mention a new person but this new person decided to block me and possibly ignore my warnings so I think this is fair game to talk about.

I really want to continue doing posts on how to do certain dynamics or teach you about certain dynamics. This one will be really simple and might be enlightening to some of you. So let's jump in, shall we? If you don't know what play buddies are, it's just what it sounds like. It's when two adults decide to do sexual stuff to each other but maybe not go all the way. If they go all the way, it may evolve to friends with benefits (FWB) possibly. Friends with benefits is where two friends (again adults) decide to maintain a friendship but fuck and maybe play on occasion. There's different variations of this, but this is the main dynamic of this variety.

Knowing that you are on the verge of a great hook up experience is a great feeling. When you actually do it, it ends up being exciting, thrilling, embarrassing and even weird sometimes, which just makes it more memorable and enjoyable. For some people, it might be a life changing event and for others it ends up being a memory to cherish for the rest of their lives. There are innumerable ways in which you can be affected by a casual hook up experience. However, if you go about it without exercising caution and common sense, you might end up with the exact opposite. Such a situation will end up leading to an experience that you will not only regret but even one that might put you in a lot of danger.

I’m not that sort of girl. Not normally. I only have sex with boyfriends, with men who love me. Maybe the occasional one-night adventure, but I always know their name. I’m a good girl.

Katy wouldn’t let me put my hand in her knickers. Not at first.

If you have not read part one of this post please do so now. I'm just covering the basics and I will answer all questions later. In this post I will cover more of the vocabulary of bondage.

Women over the age of 30 are either feeling really sexual, or suppressing it. And I’m talking to the ones that suppress it. What’s wrong with the word sexy anyway?

Shame; noun, a painful feeling of humiliation or distress caused by the consciousness of wrong or foolish behavior.

I lost my virginity before I had sex, and I'm sure I'm not the only 22-year-old woman who can say the same.

Sasha didn't like to let on her attractions. It was nobody's business that she was interested in Jean, and nobody's business that she wanted her body. It wasn't right. It wasn't proper. And Sasha was nothing if not right and proper. Didn't she wear the flattest bras she could find to disguise her awful, enormous, gravity-defying breasts? Didn't she wrap herself in the baggiest clothing to hide her stubbornly sensual curves? There was no way, Sasha thought, that she was going to be one of those girls. She wouldn't wear lipstick. She wouldn't tease. And she certainly wouldn't be a lesbian.

Please read part 1 or part 2 if you haven't done so already. There's so much to go over still, and I want to make sure I am clear on stuff.

Karen's eyes fluttered open. Morning light slanted through her bedroom window as a bird sang somewhere close by. She wondered why she was sitting. Had she fallen asleep this way last night? How weird.

What's Gloryhole moan? You might ask yourself. Answer would be: A sexy, involuntary noise that you release in the heat of the moment because you're swamped by sensation. In this case sensation would be caused by a beautiful, unknown, (hopefully) young lady draining your balls with her mouth.

After sex, clean up can be easy or a bit of a chore depending on what activities you and your partner have been enjoying. Many people worry about the cleanup and are concerned with the amount of mess that can come from intercourse. Do you need to jump right in the shower? Should you worry about semen? What about the wet spot? If you are concerned about post Netflix and chill clean up, don't fret. There are some simple things you can do to make the clean up go quickly, effortlessly, all while protecting your sexual health.

A while back, I read an article that totally shocked me. It stated that the majority of women cannot orgasm from penetration alone, and that only 60 percent of all women actually take time to masturbate. Considering that almost all men do, this means that there is a massive orgasm deficit in orgasms between women and men.

He asked me in his most serious tone, “...how am I supposed to leave you alone if you keep fucking with me?”

Sexual orientation describes what a person is sexually attracted to. It describes who a person is pursuing. Often this is just restricted to who we desire sexually, but it can also describe how we relate to others romantically. Sexual orientation is all about who you want to be with.

There is a strong connection between nudity and sexuality. It makes sense because for a lot of sexual activity, a person needs to be at least partially naked. We also may experience sexual desires from seeing someone else naked.

In sexuality and romantic attraction, there is no such thing as abnormal; this is normal. For those who are new to the world of sexuality and romantic attraction, welcome. I'll be nice and easy to understand, I hope. The difference between romantic and sexual attraction is that sexual attraction or sexuality is more primal; who draws you in appearance-wise. Romantic attraction is who draws you in personality-wise and who you see having a relationship with. We also can't assume that there is just straight, gay, and bi. People have evolved, so let's dive in.

It was her eyes. Something about the way they moved across the floor searching for someone, for something. It was as if they were calling me. I could not help but stare. Then her eyes caught mine. My heart stopped for a brief moment hoping it was me she was looking for; then they shifted and I sank back into the dreadful beer I ordered. Man it was horrible, but it was cheap. I decided to head out, another night without a woman in my bed. I grabbed my coat, tipped the waitress and walked out the door, but not without getting a chance to look into those eyes again. They were ocean blue. But they had found what they were looking for, her boyfriend, or husband. A man that was not me.

After a few last-minute jitters, she knocked to find Samantha’s brilliant smile on the other side of the door. The jitters immediately disappeared.

Which countries in the world have the most beautiful women? While this is a very subjective question, there are beautiful women in every country in the world, we can peruse through some factual statistics to try to get an answer.

All through college there were penis jokes made all the time and I couldn't help but notice that tiny little penises were often found drawn on the back of chairs... most importantly, there were constant jokes of different cheesy and sometime just gross pick-up lines that men could use on woman. So this is my little way of rebelling. Please enjoy this collection of over 50 different dirty pick up lines for women to use on men! However, please note that these are for humour purposes... so if you intend to actually try to use one of these... proceed with caution, because you might offend a couple of people. Then again, if you use one of these and they take it too seriously and then they go way out of line by calling you a tease... that part isn't your fault! Make sure to accept that red flag and stay away from whoever that person is.

For years, lovers of Friends With Benefits relationships spent hours on the Craigslist Personals section. Now that section has disappeared from the internet and left many wondering why. Craigslist decided after years of helping people connect that it was time to end their service. Many users were quite upset when the personals section disappeared.

With a busy schedule dominating much of your time, it can be hard to keep the spice alive in your relationship. You or your spouse may spend a great deal of time traveling for work, barely getting a moment to sit down. Intimate time together may be rushed, or may not even happen at all. This can cause some strain on any personal connection, but it doesn’t have to.

So I'm skint. I'm skint and I'm looking for easy money and I come across this app that allows other people to pay you just for doing a dare. It seems like fate. I download the app and put up a post:

Big dicks are always in style. When that cock is attached to an alleged straight guy, well that amplifies the hotness of the male performer. These facts allow for producers to come up with scenarios that will intrigue the public and make them a ton of money.

Many people suffer from insecurities when they are in their developmental adolescence, years of life which are from 12 years old to 18 years old. But nobody talks about the fact that as a teenager, your need to start developing your own personal identity and sense of who you truly are. Unsuccessful development of your sense of self and identity leads to role confusion and possibly a weak self-esteem, which leads to insecurities that can move forward with you and leave you stuck with the same problems being presented in a completely different way. The ability to stay true to yourself and have a strong self-esteem is a major part of your adolescence.

Hiring a hitman is not as easy as it seems. Time after time, people who want to have someone killed off are caught by the police more often than not. It would stand to reason that it would detour people from doing it, but that is not the case.

The sound of your name used to send shock waves throughout my body, informing me of your invading presence and the paradise that followed. Which was why I wasn't surprised at the inner turmoil coiling about inside me as I turned to catch your gaze from across the room. The gallery was crowded tonight, full of potential clients and investors, friends and family as well. And yet all that seemed to capture my attention was the wildfire in your chestnut eyes, tempting me to get lost in them once again.

Vanilla and BDSM are similar in some ways when it comes to what is too controlling. The main difference is rules and boundaries. In a vanilla relationship, you have boundaries and maybe rules to keep the relationship on the right track. The vanilla boundaries and rules may also be there to make sure there are no hurt feelings and everyone involved is on the same page. These rules and boundaries can be like monogamy: no being alone with certain genders (or people), and texting or calling when you arrive safe somewhere. In BDSM, some of the rules and boundaries can be similar to vanilla ones, but they go deeper than that. Part of the reason that the boundaries and rules go deeper in BDSM is because it's a power exchange lifestyle and the stuff we do is a little different. People have soft and hard limits and that's part of our boundaries and rules.

Bondage and kink as we know it has been around for over 50 years but it has only been or gotten popular just a few years ago. I believe the popularity of it all began with 50 Shades of Grey. We have talked before why 50 Shades of Grey was 50 shades of crap. People just couldn't get enough of kink, hopefully they learned the right way to do kinky stuff though. If it turns you on don't listen to the vanillas (the non kinky people), they may bad mouth what you like. Yes Christian Grey was a little abusive but there are doms out there that are 100 times better and they are true doms. Real doms will cringe or laugh when you mention 50 Shades. I think porn and Tumblr also helped. There have been other movies or books that mention or portray kink. Sometimes Criminal Minds does episodes based on kink or swinging. I know I got into it because of both 50 Shades and Tumblr.

Before I dive into this topic, I have to say that this is one of the types of play or fetishes where you have to know what you're doing. Someone can get hurt, so be careful.

Please note when I talk about subs I may use the pronoun she but I am aware that people of all genders can be subs. I had to look up these meanings to make sure I was getting these right and then I realized there are so many. I had no clue that there were so many. I know about day collars and protection collars but there are so many styles and types.

I feel like we’re at the threshold of a new sex age. “Bare ass” with me just a second, and I’ll explain.

In my previous article, "The Return of Freedom to Love Without Barriers—Part 1," I told of the beginnings of the Free Love Movement, the contraceptive pill, and the Age of Sexual Enlightenment. We discussed the beginnings of the AIDS epidemic and the beginning of the Condom Era, where we learned that sex can kill you, and the term "safe sex" became a household word.

I’ll start out by saying this is going to be a controversial article. I’ll be called irresponsible. The comments will be raging with vitriol on both sides of the argument, but it’s time that someone brought it up.

Just like Body confidence, sexual confidence isn't all about feeling sexy, but sometimes it is.

When was it that rotting flesh devils who sucked a person dry of blood until their lungs rasped out their last became sex objects? Vampires and sex seem intertwined together. Before Twilight, before Anne Rice, and before Dracula, vampires were seen as devils or demons. Soulless husks who preyed on the living.

Her iconic role as Mrs. Robinson was an older married woman that tried to seduce the much younger Benjamin Braddock. Her role in The Graduate set the standard for what every cougar would be judged by: sexy, seductive, smart and mature. Although Anne Bancroft starred in dozens of movies throughout her career, the award-winning actress kept to a very private life away from the camera. As one of three sisters in a modest and close-knit Italian family, she centered her world around her family. Up until her death in 2005, Bancroft spent her personal time with her husband–the iconic Mel Brooks–and their son, away from the paparazzi. In a vintage interview with Viva magazine, she opened up about her beliefs, her career and why she decided to stay away from the spotlight after marriage. In the 21st century, age has become more of a perception than reality. Words such as cougar have become terms of endearment for a culture that has an enlightened notion of age and the role it plays in relationships. Anne Bancroft’s progressive view is as relevant today as when she originally spoke to Viva in the mid 1970s.

Before the sexual revolution enabled pornography to go mainstream (do Penthouse and Playboy sound familiar to you?) adult magazines, or ‘girlie mags’, were already in successful circulation. Now, all of these years later, you might infer that the precursors to mainstream distribution were tamer than their successors; no nipple means less suggestive, right? However, the titles and overall aesthetic of vintage porn are in some ways more lewd and crude than their modern counterparts, more akin to so-called ‘hardcore’ porn which often highlights specific sexual fetishes.
