Jordana Lipsitz wants to support her friends (and heck, even people she doesn’t know at all) in their zany sex adventures but she has a problem. And that problem is a visceral reaction to the thought of inserting anything, well, anywhere. Chalking it up to having been raised in a Protestant/Jewish household where the repression of the Protestant side was constantly at war with the easy-going attitude of her Jewish side, in this post Jordana Lipsitz shares her comedic journey into sex positivity.

We are still fighting for reproductive rights, and also fighting to maintain ownership of our sexuality every day. This is related to the current shortage of Sex Ed in the U.S. (only 13 out of 50 states require sex education to be medically accurate). Women bear the responsibility to educate themselves and each other because of this shortage in education resources. That responsibility weighs more heavily now than ever, with organizations like Planned Parenthood under threat. With sexual education comes sexual health, and part of that education is self-exploration. In this post, Amara Purlle explores how the #MeToo movement has changed attitudes or heightened recognition of the freedom to explore our bodies as we see fit.

You might have come across the term, “edging” while discussing your sex life, or just researching new ways to enjoy sex. But what is it? Edging is the practice of being brought to the brink, or edge, of orgasm and then stopping the sexual simulation so that you don’t finish. A lot of folks might wonder why the hell someone wouldn’t want to orgasm, so in this post, Haley DePass lets you in on the how, when, who, what, why (and why not) of living on the edge of the Big-O.

As someone who knows what she likes both in and out of the bedroom, my relationship with sex toys is no different. While I have a few trusty vibrators and toys I can turn to when I need some pleasure pronto, I’ve been looking to invest and upgrade my sex life. Specifically, with a sex toy that won’t run out of battery when I’m mid-masturbation session. Though I do love internal toys, I’ve also been looking for an external vibe that does the trick without leaving my clit numb or making it feel like it’s going to fall off. Pretty much, my sex toy drawer needed an upgrade, and the Bcurious Premium came to the rescue to make that happen.

No matter your relationship status, one thing still holds true; you have a right to pleasure. Scream it from the rooftops because it’s true. You have a right to know what feels good for you, you have a right to know what sets your soul aflame, you have a right to know what you’re into, and you have the right to claim it. But the reverse is also true; you have a right to know what you don’t like, you have a right to have boundaries, and you have the right to say no, always. A “yes, no, maybe” list is a list of things you’re into, some things you’re willing to try and things you’re absolutely not willing to try. This isn’t a document set in stone, instead, it’s something that can help you discover what turns you on, while also helping inspire your love and sex life.

The perks of regular masturbation are well known and widely touted. But what lies on the flip-side of masturbation’s benefits? Is it possible to over-indulge in the pastime of solo-sex? Can you lose feeling from over-using a vibrator? Are there any negative effects? Will you be able to orgasm again later? For this post, we asked Dr. Kristie Overstreet to answer the question ”Can you masturbate too much?” and all that that entails...

It’s officially Masturbation Month! While we in the pleasure industry tend to celebrate masturbation on the daily, we also recognize that visibly dedicating an entire month to the topic serves as a necessary reminder that self-pleasure can be an integral and accessible aspect of everyone’s sexuality. For this post, we asked Amara Purlle explore rapidly changing attitudes towards self-love and why it’s still so important to celebrate going solo.

While focus on women is at an all-time high, men are having a moment as well. Recently, there has been a lot of discussion about masculinity and its societal implications. Men today are necessarily becoming more enlightened to the idea that bending once rigid paradigms can actually create a more viable notion of "manhood." Part of this growth involves getting in touch with deeper sexual gratification. For this post, we welcome Colt Chapman as he discusses prostate pleasure: who’s doing it, what it feels like, how to do it and why you should try it out (if you have a prostate, that is).

By Amara Purlle

Yes, women are into it. No, it’s not just a male-on-male pastime. Yes, heterosexual men are doing it, too. Yes, it’s a completely normal, celebrated and valid way to achieve orgasm. So, let’s do this! Let’s go deep and continue to un-taboo anal sex. Because, as previous columnists have said: It’s [insert decade here]. Time to get real.

No one really thought a device built solely for instant self-gratification could build an empire, but it has, a few times over. And they say sex doesn’t sell. We want to honor its contribution to fulfilling sex lives everywhere (both real and imagined) by digging into the Rabbit’s history, cultural impact, and why it created a demand for what we knew we always needed. (Warning, puns ahead.)

Sharing is Caring . . . or, at least that's what they taught us as kindergarteners. For some of us, this is still true well into adulthood as we explore our pleasure. Sex with multiple partners can be an enticing erotic daydream, but unlike our fantasies, a satisfying threesome usually doesn't just spontaneously happen. It's not easy to get the cosmos to align for a perfect private pleasure party. But! As we also learn as youngsters: the greatest satisfaction always follows a hard day's work.

In the business of sex and pleasure, it's traditional to put orgasm at the forefront as the sole objective of a sexual encounter. While orgasm is one of the most euphoric experiences, there's so much else that goes hand in hand with it along the way. At B Swish, we're in the business of sexual pleasure as a vehicle for confidence, empowerment, wellness, and satisfaction. Lately, this has us thinking a lot about honesty. Specifically, we’ve been wondering about how honesty is related to the experience of orgasm for women. For this post, we asked Amara Purlle to write about how getting stark naked with ourselves before anyone else could lead to not just stronger orgasm but also to stronger human connection.
