What Booze Does To Your Sex Life

Image Source: Flickr.com/photos/narcissThere are certain things that seem obvious about the way alcohol affects one’s sex life—namely, that it makes a person want to get frisky! Booze loosens you up, makes you more comfortable, and definitely makes you want to get busy after a few drinks. But the psychological and physiological effects are a bit more complicated. Here’s what experts say about the way alcohol and sex mix.

  1. Alcohol makes you less inhibited
    The brain is the biggest sex organ, so it makes sense that a substance that makes you less inhibited would have an impact on your sex life.
  2. A few drinks can make you horny
    Antioxidants in wine can actually increase blood flow to the genitals. Alcohol also helps dilate your blood vessels which makes “The clitoris, labia, and vagina…become engorged and more lubricated,” says a doctor talking to Buzzfeed.
  3. BUT alcohol makes it harder to get off
    This is because alcohol interrupts the signals to your brain that registers erotic touch. Alcohol dulls the sensations that usually would send you over the edge into an orgasm because “your brain isn’t as receptive to them, so your genitals can feel less sensitive,” says the doctor.
  4. Whiskey dick is actually a thing
    “This typically happens because the penis is less responsive to stimuli, making it harder to get and maintain an erection,” says another doctor.
  5. It can take much longer to have an orgasm—if you have one at all
    “Alcohol can delay ejaculation or interfere with it completely,” says a doctor. “This usually happens because your sensations are dulled and your erection isn’t operating at its full potential.” The takeaway seems obvious: drink responsibly if you want to get off!

How to Initiate Sex With Your Partner

Screen Shot 2015-07-08 at 3.23.26 PMLet’s face it, after being in a relationship for a while, sometimes couples can get lazy about initiating sex. Everyone can probably relate to initiating through a not-so-subtle grope or a casual “It’s been a while. Want to fuck?” But we’re here to help you ask for sex in a way that is more personal and more exciting. Here are some tips for extending a sexy invitation to the bedroom.

  1. Think about what’s worked before
    Every couple has their own idiosyncrasies. Try to remember how the good sex you’ve had in the past was initiated to find inspiration. Were you laughing and flirting? Was it slow and sensual? Knowing what types of situations gets you both in the mood will help you figure out how and when to ask.
  2. Help your partner relax
    Some people need more time to unwind and get into a relaxed head space before they want to go at it. Help your partner get in the mood by asking what you can do to take care of them tonight or to take something off their plate. This will help free up their mind for sexier thoughts.
  3. Get some of that intensity back
    When you first start dating someone, the sex is passionate and super hot. But after a while, some of that intensity can fade. Try to get back some of those spontaneous, super sexy times by recreating them. Or you can turn up the heat by saying things that are very sexually direct: “I need to have you right now.”
  4. Be playful
    Sometimes playfully initiating sex is a great way to relax and have fun. Send each other silly sexts, or make sexual bets while watching sports (If the Dodgers win, I’ll give you a blowjob later). Keep it light but flirtatious.

Yoga Moves For a Better Sex Life

sexyyogaEveryone knows yoga feels great, but what if we told you that practicing certain poses can actually improve your sex life? It’s true. Different poses can increase your flexibility, improve your focus, and tighten your pelvic floor muscles—all things that are key to better sex. So here are the best yoga poses to help you have a great sex life.

Sun Salute
This is the pose where you stand very straight, big toes touching, with your pelvis tucked in and your arms hanging as if weights were attached. A long-time yogi suggests doing one to five salutes per day to practice improving your attention, which is great for learning how to zone in on what’s going on with your mind and body during sex (sort of like tantric sex).
Mula Bandha
This is the original kegels. Sit or stand in a relaxed position, then “Squeeze the muscles at the bottom of the pelvic floor, behind the cervix. Contract slowly, then release slowly. Repeat 15 times.” Tightening the pelvic floor muscles will help keep everything tight and ready for increased sexual pleasure.
Shoulder Stand
This is basically a back-bend. The yogi says it’s good for sex because “Shoulder Stand helps your circulation and hormonal balance. It also gives you a bit of a new perspective you may need to discover your personal ecstasy.”

How to Share Your Sexual Fantasies

best_phone_sex_niteflirt_friendsWhile it’s true that everyone has sexual fantasies, it’s also true that many people don’t feel comfortable sharing theirs. Thankfully there are ways to get more comfortable with divulging your desires with others. Here are some tips for feeling more at ease with exploring your fantasies with a partner.

  1. Get comfortable with your fantasies
    Take the time to explore what turns you on without judgement. Everyone has personal desires and fantasies, and what gets you hot is nothing to be ashamed of. Figure out what you like—and what you’d like to happen in real life—before letting someone else know.
  2. Don’t overanalyze what turns you on
    There’s no reason to ask yourself “why” you have a particular fantasy. It doesn’t necessarily say anything about you as a person. Accept that sex isn’t rational, and just go with it.
  3. Figure out a good time to discuss your fantasies
    Timing is everything, so it’s important to feel very comfortable with someone before discussing your fantasies. At the same time, if it’s a deal breaker to date someone who might not share your particular kink, it’d be a good idea to discuss your sexual tastes with them sooner rather than later. Regardless, you should gauge how the other person might respond by asking some leading questions like “I saw this thing on the internet. How would you feel about doing something like that?”
  4. Practice asking
    Here are some good lines: “You know what sounds really hot to me?”; “There’s this thing I’ve always wanted to try, but I’ve been waiting until I found the right person.”; “I would love to see you doing…”

5 Tips For Having Better Orgasms

Image Source: TheJennyBlock.com/Jenny Block, author of O Wow: Discovering Your Ultimate Orgasms sat down with Buzzfeed to dish on how to cum in bigger and better ways. Block says, “Sex should be fun and silly and exciting and experimental and messy and loud and always an adventure. It should go where it goes for as long as you like in whatever way you like.” That’s some good advice! Here are 5 more tips about how to have better orgasms:

  1. Masturbate to figure out what you like
    “All you have to do is what feels good,” says Block. This is the best way for figuring out what you like, which you can eventually share with a partner for the ultimate orgasm.
  2. Don’t focus too much on getting off
    Masturbation, just like sex, should be pleasure oriented, not goal oriented. The only goal should be to enjoy and to learn what works for you.”
  3. Enthusiasm is everything when it comes to giving head
    Whether it’s pussy-licking or cock-sucking, just make sure you’re having a good time and letting the person know that you are! See what they respond to, and keep doing it (unless they tell you to stop)!
  4. Use lube—especially with anal
    “If you are interested in experimenting with anal play, lube has to be the key player. The anus, unlike the vagina, is not self-lubricating.” Nuff said.
  5. There’s nothing shameful about loving sex, ladies
    “And women are a lucky lot. We have no refractory period, which means we can come over and over without resting in between and we have the only organ in the human body – male or female – with pleasure as its only purpose – the clit. And, while we’re on the subject – every woman’s pussy is perfect.”

Sexting Is a New Name For an Old Activity

Image Source Flickr.com/photos/jonathanrolandeWhile most people think that sexting is a new phenomenon, history tells a very different story. Recently, a 17th century erotic portrait was put up for sale of one of Charles II’s long time mistress washing a string of sausages with her tits out! Its small, paper-sheet size shows that it was intended for an “intimate purpose in the court circle,” according to the Guardian. Although this seems shocking for the time, sending explicit photos and messages has actually been around for centuries.

Former president Warren Harding wrote to his mistress about “Jerry,” which was code name for his cock!—“if he [Jerry, his cock] could have but one wish, it would be to be held in your darling embrace and be thrilled by your pink lips that convey the surpassing rapture of human touch and the unspeakable joy of love’s surpassing embrace.” And James Joyce was famous for writing his wife filthy letters: “My sweet naughty little fuckbird,” he writes, “Buy whorish drawers, love, and be sure you sprinkle the legs of them with some nice scent and also discolour them just a little behind.” By the time of WWII, ladies were sending their men off with homemade pin-ups to keep them company. And by the time of polaroid film, the ladies were sending their soldiers off with “private pornographic photographs.” It just goes to show that desire never changes; it’s just the medium of expressing it that does.

Blush will sell for around $90 in stores, but you can get it for $39 on Indiegogo. And just like Apple, this sex toy is promising to take Bluetooth technology for sex toys to the next level.

Study Shows Condoms Don’t Make Men Lose Their Boners

losnupoHave you ever blamed a condom for making you lose your boner? Well, new evidence shows the condom is not the culprit after all. A study that surveyed around 500 straight guys aged 18-24 found that the ones who thought the condom was making them go soft were more likely to be suffering from general erectile dysfunction regardless of whether they used a condom or not. It seems the problem isn’t physical but psychological.

One 24-year old thought the condom was making him lose sensitivity, which in turn made him lose his erection—and that only added to the pressure and self-consciousness he felt to perform. One researcher of the study explained, “men who first experience loss of erection when they use condoms might worry about [difficulty] experiencing erections more generally and hence be more vulnerable [to erectile problems].” To make matters worse, a third of the participants didn’t know how to properly put on a condom: “They’re a struggle to put on, especially after a few drinks, and then usually end up inside out, so have to be reapplied by which time either you’ve gone floppy or it’s just horrendously awkward and the moment is lost,” the 24-year old said. Well, besides de-villainizing condoms, this study proves one thing for sure: the importance and need for better sexual education.

Man Gets Eight-Inch Bionic Dick

A man who lost the use of his genitals as a child got compensated in full recently with a fully functioning eight-inch bionic dick! This bionic dick is the first of its kind, even though a different man had the first successful penis transplant last year. The bionic dick was created by skin grafts from his arm, which will now allow him to get hard, cum, and actually reproduce.

After an 11-hour surgery, the man finally can achieve erections by using a button attached to his scrotum. “When you want a bit of action you press the ‘on’ button,” the man said. “When you are finished you press another button. It takes seconds. Doctors have told me to keep practicing.” The device works through an implant that uses fluids from his belly to inflate two tubes which allow him to use his dick whenever he likes. Science is amazing!

Nicki Minaj’s Asslicious Wax Sculpture

Getty Images for Madame Tussauds Las Vegas

Madame Tussauds wax museum in Las Vegas unveiled its latest attraction last week: a very sexy statue of the very sexy Nicki Minaj. She’s posed like she was in her “Anaconda” music video—down on all fours, wearing very little clothing, with her big, luscious ass up in the air. The figure took six months to create and hundreds of precise body measurements to bring Minaj’s curvy shape to life. And so far, the attraction has garnered some not so family-friendly attention from saucy guests.

There has already been a string of naughty photos posted to Instagram and social media with Minaj’s statue. In one, a man is mounting Minaj from behind while pulling her hair. In another, a group of frisky women grab her ass, tits, and pretend to lick her ass “like a cupcake.” Madame Tussauds is currently re-positioning the statue to dissuade patrons from taking any more racy photos with it. But the real Nicki Minaj has had a good sense of humor about the debacle so far.
