DISCUSSION

Do you remember your first lesson of sex education? Did you and your classmates laugh when you saw it on your timetable? Did you chuckle as you walked into the classroom and blush when the condoms were brought out? Sexual education is a part of many school curriculums, and it has changed a lot over the years.

I love expanding my horizons. I love learning about new things. That said, it can be difficult to get more information about certain acts, especially if they are in the world of BDSM. Online research can be made difficult, especially when those with no idea start talking about things. CBT is one of those areas.

When times are tough, people will start talking about the economy and what we can do to better it. As individuals, we can all take small steps to try and improve it. But did you know that one of those small steps could involve bettering your sex life?

‘ll admit that I’m no stranger to book launches. When you’re friends with authors, you’re going to get invited to a few. You’ll spend more money on books than you ever intended and meet some amazing people. However, I have never been to a book launch quite like the one for Revolting Prostitutes held at Partisan in Manchester.

Being a sex god is a dream for most people, but sometimes it isn’t reality. Having those skills when it comes to sex don’t always happen naturally. Sure, sometimes you might be able to figure out what your partner wants, but it takes time and communication. This means that there will be times when you are bad at sex.

When we know we are going to have sex there are certain things we’ll do in preparation. I like to take a long bath, totally relax myself, and groom myself to perfection. I’ll take my choosing the perfect lingerie. I’ll choose music and set the mood. Of course, that is just my pre-sex ritual.

Lately the Nordic model has been put in the spotlight. Most people think that it is a good idea. If you make it against the law to purchase sex then everyone will simply stop, right? Wrong. Yet people are still calling for it to become a reality in the UK.

Mental health has been a popular topic lately, and more people are taking it seriously. It is important to do things that are good for your mental health, and since today is World Mental Health Day, it seems like the perfect time to talk about it.

Looking on the BBC website this morning I found the latest ‘teacher sex with student’ story. The allegation was that she had had sex with a student in a plane toilet. She strenuously denied the allegation, claiming it to be a ‘porn fantasy’ invented by the lad. By the time you read this, the case may well have been decided one way or another, and at the time of writing we are leaving that to the court.

What do you think the norm is when it comes to sex? For most of us, we imagine vanilla sex. Vanilla sex has a reputation as ‘boring’. We think of it as the default of sex. You get into either the missionary or cowgirl position. If you are feeling spicy, you might go for doggy style to mix things up.
