How I Got Over My Vaginismus
At the young age of 17, I had sex for the first time. It wasn't glorious nor was it life changing, but it was fun and exciting—until my boyfriend couldn't get more than an inch inside of me. I was shocked at first, but then upset. I had been dreaming about this day since I was very young. While I did stop dreaming for awhile when I started hitting puberty, the dreams came back in full force by the time I was 13 and had my first boyfriend. Now with my second, I believed I was ready for sex and wanted to have a go. But it turned from a fun time to me crying over the fact that I couldn't please him or myself sexually. Although we didn't finish the act, the next day he was halfway inside of me and I counted that as my first time. I was still frustrated with myself though, and I tried fingering myself often to stretch myself out.

15 'Big O' Facts That Will Shock You
When I first began researching for this article, I was unsure what I was going to find. We spend so much time online for work, school, and stalking (I mean networking) that we rarely have time to browse random subjects that are not only amusing, but informative. Like seriously, do you think in between cooking and cleaning that I get to Google, "orgasm facts"? Um, NO, but that doesn't mean I don't want to learn about them! Luckily, I have a kick ass writing gig that allows me to further my knowledge in all things wacky and random and share it with the world. Say for instance, the world record for most female orgasms enjoyed in one hour or how about when the first vibrator was invented? So while you may not need this orgasm lesson you are about to receive, I'm pretty sure you're going to enjoy it. Here are 15 hilarious, shocking, comforting, and scientific facts about the Big O.

Time Stands Still. Top Story - October 2017.
This wasn’t the first time I was meeting Jacob. I have Skyped a few times with him, just to get a better idea of what he was like before I decided to go and shoot with him. We went over ideas, wardrobe, themes, and decided to go with an American Apparel type feel of a shoot. So yes, this was the first time I was going to meet him physically in person, but I wasn’t shy. Just a little reserved at first, as I usually am.

Self Worth and Why I've Chosen to Wait
Out at brunch, drinks before going out, late-night drives, and midway through an extravagant eye shadow look; my fellow lady friends would ask “when are you going to lose your virginity?” Being the sarcastic, (self proclaimed) witty girl of the group I would often reply things such as “well from no fault of my own” or “not from a lack of trying” and my personal favourite “ask me again after tonight.” We would all laugh and I would yet again dodge the question, which interestingly seemed to concern others far more than myself. I would often wonder "when" and "who" parodying the queries of my female counterparts.

How to Train Your Body to Be Multi-Orgasmic
Multiple orgasms. Ah, probably the best part about being a woman. What does it mean to be multi-orgasmic, you may ask? Well… You are considered to be multi-orgasmic when you have the capability to orgasm and then have more shortly after without a refractory phase (an amount of time needed to relax or refrain from sexual activities until you become less sensitive and you can reach another O). Being multi-orgasmic comes in two forms. First one is the most common. This one is where the woman can cum and then go right back into stimulation with little sensitivity in order to reach another orgasm within the next 0-3 minutes. The second, less common one is when a woman orgasms and then within SECONDS has a stronger one, and then yet again with each one becoming more and more intense.

Why I Stopped Watching Porn
I believe porn is one major reason men are slowly but surely becoming less valuable in the eyes of women. I want to present the reasons that porn has corroded my enjoyment of sex, my ability to be intimate, as well as my character. Hopefully, if you are feeling the negative ramifications of overuse, my story can compel you to change your ways and grow into the best expression of yourself.

Bringing Up The Rear
I've heard it all, and then some, as to why women don't like or won't try the great taboo that is anal sex. Many of the reasons I have heard seem to be little more than masking tape slapped over excuses. Through discussion, I have discovered these excuses are derived from fear brought on by their beliefs in the stigmas and myths surrounding the act.
