The holiday season is here already and whether you are hoping to make it onto Santa’s naughty list, craving an exciting exploration for the season, or just looking for something fun to play with as the creeping cold drives us further indoors then we have some suggestions for you.
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 explores how the #MeToo movement has changed attitudes or heightened recognition of the freedom to explore our bodies as we see fit.
No matter how shy you or your partner may be, everyone can increase their sexual experience with communication. Here's a practical guide on to how to talk dirty with confidence, get the pleasure you’re craving, and encourage your partner to keep the convo going!
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.
Ahh, long distance relationships. LDRs...lovers daring romance...lengthy doting rituals...loooong dry-spell run.... In this post, Amara Purlle cast the net out to...the net...to see what her people’s more recent LDR experiences have been with Facetime in lieu of face-to-face time.
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.
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 dishes on the how, when, who, what, why (and why not) of living on the edge of the Big-O.
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.
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.
