Receiving the Orgasmic Bliss was quite exciting for me. I approve of sex toys in general, but don’t have that much experience with different kinds of vibrators. So, here’s to excitement and adventure and my first sex toy review. Materials, Cleaning, & Care
The Orgasmic Bliss is made of 100% silicone and it feels pretty nice. It isn’t a hard toy and the bumps on the outside will give a little under pressure. Continue Reading →

A Mini Review: The Good Vibrations Guide to Sex
Each member of my school’s sexual health education group was given a summer reading assignment. Mine was a lengthy one: The Good Vibrations Guide to Sex, by Cathy Winks and Anne Semans. Though I haven’t read the book in its entirety (come on guys, it’s long, and the book itself is HUGE), I have read enough sections to truly sing its praises. I was particularly impressed with this edition’s 20 page chapter on masturbation. While most sex manuals give a nod to masturbation, Semans and Winks literally devote an entire chapter to it.

Does Masturbation Make for a Greener Planet?
Someecards has an idea of how it might – pre-shower masturbation, anyway – and they’ve put it on an Earth Day themed someecard. Send this card or others from the Someecards web site. Continue Reading →
Can you masturbate too much?
Sex Myth #1,271: There’s no such thing as too much masturbation. Okay, so we’re decades past the washed up idea that masturbation if a terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad thing to do, right? We are all very clear on the fact that masturbation will not cause blindness nor will it cause hair to grow on our hands. We also get that whether you pleasure yourself daily, weekly, once a year on your birthday or never, it’s all good. But that doesn’t mean there’s no such thing as too much masturbation.

MSP Q&A: Is masturbation bad? Will it make me shorter?
Recently on Yahoo Questions, someone wrote in to ask whether masturbation would make a person shorter. Most responses were either inaccurate (saying that yes, it would), sarcastic or both. This was my response:
No, there have been no linkages between masturbation and height. In fact, research consistently shows that the vast majority of men (roughly 95% – 98%) masturbate and most, though somewhat fewer, women have masturbated too. Masturbation is a common, healthy form of expression. Continue Reading →
MSP Sex Q&A: Where can I find porn for couples or women?
Question: I’m one of those rare women who LIKES PORN! Now, uh, where can I find some (and please don’t say those sleazy adult bookstores crawling with men) that I can watch with my husband, or by myself when he’s traveling for work? Answer: Although few women have been raised with the sense that it’s okay for women to like porn, the fact is that some do. Some women like watching porn alone, such as to up their arousal or to ease orgasm during masturbation, and other women enjoy watching porn with a partner. One site, www.pornmoviesforwomen.com, is sort of a clearinghouse of woman-oriented porn sites and resources. Continue Reading →
Kinsey Confidential podcast: Am I gay?
Sexual orientation remains a controversial and emotionally charged issue for some women and men in the United States, as well as in other countries around the world. In part this is fueled by misunderstandings about sexual orientation and people who identify as gay, lesbian or bisexual. In addition, a person’s sexual orientation and how it develops and unfolds throughout life remain a bit mysterious to researchers – we have many questions still left to answer in our quest to understand how people come to feel sexually attracted to or interested in people of their same sex, another sex, or not interested sexually in anyone at all. Recently a listener asked us this question at Kinsey Confidential:
I’m attracted to both men and women, but slightly more to men. I masturbate to both, but more recently mostly to men. Continue Reading →
Can one masturbate too much?
Some researchers might say no – well, at least within reason (it may be "too much" if you are masturbating to the point of hurting your genitals, or if it is getting in the way of work/school/relationships and causing you distress). But other than that, get out the lube! We’ve known for some time now that frequent ejaculation when one is young (whether from partner sex or solo masturbation) was associated with a reduced risk of prostate cancer as one ages… but this study specifically looked at the masturbation aspect and found a markedly reduced risk of prostate cancer among frequent masturbators.
