Sex Fears We All Have
As Franklin D. Roosevelt once said, "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself," and that goes for sexual fears as well. Throughout life, as humans, we are constantly being bombarded by insecurities that make us feel less than. One of the most dreaded fears a person can experience is when it comes to sex. These sexual fears can make people feel defeated and inadequate. Sexual fears aren't always visible, and you may not even know you have them sometimes. They can take cover deep down inside your subconscious mind and as a result, you might find yourself avoiding sex altogether. You might be a person who has never had sex or has had a lot of sex or somewhere in the middle. If these sexual fears are getting in the way of you having a well balanced sex life then that's a major problem.

Fall in love, get married, have a couple of kids, live happily ever after. That's the formula, right?

We start accepting less than we should, because we've become compliant and comfortable. But the warning signs you're in a toxic relationship are there. Right in front of our faces, the signs are there. Sometimes you just need to take a step back and ask yourself "What am I doing? Why am I still in this? Will this make me happy?".

History of Porn
Porn: the word itself strikes a sword in people’s perceptions; We can safely say that its one of the words in the English language that could potentially be black listed. Most people in polite company and conversation tend to refrain from using the word. But what caused this stigma to be attached to a simple four letter word? They say 80 percent of the internet is made up of purely pornographic material. Before we can begin searching for the reason that, despite the media saturation, the word is taboo, we must first ask the more important question: "What exactly is porn?" How did we end up with that terminology? And to answer that question, we must take a journey back in time to Ancient Greece, as surprising as it is, but not really, as most words in the English language are derived from it.

Everyone is a Little Bit Gay
Living as a gay person you get to see another side to life that most never get to experience. My experience as a gay man, when regarding sex, has been that everyone’s a little gay, even if they won’t admit it out loud. Since my sexual awakening I’ve been with both men and women intimately, and everyone of them seriously just wants to get there rocks off. Gender, for the most part doesn’t matter. Also when I say ‘everyone’s a little gay’ I mean, it doesn't necessarily mean you are literally having sex with the same sex, but rather, most people will exhibit gay characteristics, behaviors or openness whether sexual or not. There is a broad spectrum from little bit gay and being open to on the down low gay to being an out and proud friend of Dorothy.

Signs It's Time to Break Up
We have all been there at one time or another, either as the "breaker upper" or the “broken up with”, regardless both positions can be difficult. For some couples, a break up may come from out of nowhere, leaving one of you distraught and confused, or perhaps the breakup will be a mutual agreement and the best decision for both of you. Looking out for warning signs is a good way to predict if you and your lover might be on the outs. You can use these signs as motivation to communicate and work through your issues or as an awakening that will finally push you to move on. Whatever choice you make, remember life is too short to spend it fighting and unhappy and even the worst relationships leave you with something; a new found outlook on life, love and most importantly yourself.

History of Sex
Sex is a part of nature. I go along with nature. -Marilyn Monroe Humans have been doing it since the dawn of time. But just how much has the act really changed through the millennia and even throughout the past decades? Are humans doing it more? Are we doing it better? Sort of, say scientists and historians. History and science are the only ways we can determine if it has. Humans have basically been the same anatomically for about 100,000 years, so far science thinks, so it’s safe to say that if we enjoy it now, then so has everyone in past that has dipped their toe in the sea of love has too.

History of Sex Toys
Historians will have to search far and wide to find any household item that has changed in function as little as the sex toy, while managing to fluctuate in social acceptance so much. After all, we as humans have not changed biologically, so of course we are still sexually stimulated in the same manner as we were years, even centuries ago. However, technology, both in sales and design of sex toys, has changed the industry and its products immensely.

What Does the LGBTQ Acronym Stand For?
In 2011 President Obama probably said it best that “every single American— gay, straight, lesbian, bisexual, transgender—every single American deserves to be treated equally in the eyes of the law and in the eyes of our society. It’s a pretty simple proposition.” But acceptance shouldn't just be a uniquely American privilege—it should extend to people around the world as a basic human right. A common global factor is the dichotomy between regression and progression. The LGBTQ community stands for acceptance of whomever you are no matter what you believe, both in the realm of politics and religion.

In Defense of Polygamy
According to most upholders of sexual morality and the sacred institution of marriage, the case for polygamy is as dead as the dodo. Plural marriage, they say, may be all right for primitives, heathens or the educationally benighted, but for civilized contemporaries? Unthinkable!

Leo Sex Astrology
Constellations fill the night sky, and many believe that these stars impact our personalities and the courses that our lives take. While the scientific validity of astrology is still tenuous, believers closely follow what their signs have to say about their futures. Each astrological sign falls under one of the four elements essential to life: fire, earth, air, and water. Leos, born between July 23 and August 22, are fire signs, and are incredibly passionate. A Leo's sex astrology is largely determined by their extroverted and extremely confident nature.

Sounds of Sex
From the mating calls of birds to the impassioned grunts and shrieks of the gorilla in heat, most creatures use sounds to communicate lust and the various stages of sexual pleasure. For some, the making of appropriate sounds is the only way to arouse a desired mate. Man is the only creature who has hang-ups about freely expressing sounds of sex, which range from moans, whimpers, yells, to more explicit language.
