The sexual stereotypes we face every day have a profound impact on our society. From stereotypes about men in relationship to stereotypes of women’s sexuality, these harmful attitudes affect us all. We must scrutinize ourselves to see if we are partaking in the perpetuation of these limiting roles.

These detrimental attitudes are deep-rooted. They begin to form through the eyes of a baby by witnessing the stereotypical roles that our family...

Starting a harmonious loving relationship often brings a huge shift in each person’s life. When two become one, a new life is forged. Through the magnetism of the heart and the desire to share more and more moments with each other, every action can be enriched with love and joy as well as a deep confrontation. That being said, it is only natural that when two people devote themselves to each other, other activities fall away to make way for even more shared time. One...

You can blame it on hook up culture. You can call out a sex-education epidemic, or invoke the wild mystery that is the female body, but when the pants and the inhibitions drop, all that really matters is that women are not having the orgasms they deserve.

Orgasm inequality is a problem of the casual dater, or so the stats would have us believe. The fewer times a hetero couple has had sex, the more likely they are to report a wide disparity between the number of times he has orgasms and...

The benefits of yoga are often flaunted in terms of the physical; tight abs, impressive flexibility, and yoga is also devised as a means to improve meditation, concentration and connection.

Yoga is a philosophy. It is a collection of guidelines for how to live in the world, to be good to ourselves, to the earth, and to each other. It has the power not just to change our bodies, or even our minds, but our hearts and souls as well. It can strengthen the bonds between us and help us to be...

Some people are shocked when I tell them I will sometimes masturbate for up to an hour at a time. It’s something that is often met with raised eyebrows and even an air of concern, like I may have something wrong with me. Up until recently, masturbation had been a very private and personal thing for me, as it is with most people. But then when I started opening up about it to certain people, I was met with genuine curiosity and openness.

I learned something truly inspiring. Men...

Good sex, great sex is the most intimate act between two humans. Rushed sex can become throw away, almost pointless.

People can become extremely judgmental if you sleep with too many people, women are especially judged about this. Many cultures say that if you sleep with one guy 1000 times over five years that is better than sleeping with 50 guys, but it is still ten times each over the same period. You had half the amount of sex, but because you slept with 49 more guys...

The doubt is probably seeping through your mind as you read the title of this article, “How many magic mushrooms did he take before he did this?” Fair question, even one of my friends has asked me the same thing! The answer is zero. This was all done with no other medicines or substances.

How did this happen? Well, I was on a body de-armouring retreat and it all went down there. 

What is de-armouring?

A duck, deer, horse, antelope, or zebra (and other animals) all have...

“Males do not represent two discrete populations, heterosexual and homosexual. The world is not to be divided into sheep and goats. Nature rarely deals with discrete categories… the living world is a continuum in each and every one of its aspects.”

—Kinsey et al (circa 1948) p 639

That’s Alfred Kinsey, famed creator of the Kinsey Scale. A measure of sexual orientation, and yes, you read that date correctly—1948! If someone who was born in the 1800s...

When people start to talk about female sexuality, they often give great attention to the genital area, or whether the woman reaches orgasm, if at all. It is surprising how many women have problems with their sexuality.

But because it is a subject about which women often have no one to talk to, they feel that they are alone in this problem. There is often little information about sexuality as we grow up, so must become aware of the fact that through the breasts we can not only find...
