Introduction
A Brief Look at Institutionalised Bigotry I’m not going to make any unrealistic claims, here. There’s no way I’ll say that I’m not sexist or misogynistic or anything like that. We all have those tendencies within us. We all have moments of misanthropy, bigotry, homophobia, transphobia, - all sorts of prejudices. Because we all have things that shape us. Environments that raise us and nurture us... but which also seed in those insidious little details that limit us. Those little voices at the back of our heads, which don’t really belong to us. They were put there by our parents, our teachers, the other kids in the school playground, the media, the newspapers - a million other sources.

What's The Difference Between A Fetish and a Kink?
If you're a sexually active human being in the 21st century, then you've heard the words "kink" and "fetish" before. If you're lucky, you've been to the kind of parties where these things are put on display, and those who aren't familiar with them can get a hands-on demonstration to see what they like. Leather, bondage, whips, chains, and candle wax are probably the images that come to your mind, but it's actually possible for almost anything to be a kink. The problem is that it's also possible for any kink to be a fetish.

The Lifestyle Jeopardy
It's raining outside. Rain has a way of bringing sensual thoughts to my mind. Memories of past rainy days and special trysts appear in my mind. Some make me smile and some make me laugh to myself. The smiles are for the really good moments, remembered. The inner laughter is directed at myself almost always because I surprise myself with my ability to bury so much and so many. It's true that it's better to laugh than cry. There is always an element of sadness, but I embrace all of it as paths along my road that simply had to be investigated further. In those past days every encounter was, to me, safe, centered around fun and carefree. When I look back at it now, it seems to me that I was more like a girl of eighteen than forty. Doing things for the experience or adventure of it. Learning about the mysteries of sex and men and what it all meant.

Sex After Assault
**the following contains trigger warnings for: sexual assault & rape** I'm very scared to write this article because I'm not sure how it will be received. It has a very serious tone. I feel like the following is something we need to talk about because I haven't heard anyone else talking about it. I'm not sure how many of you will relate to it - part of me hopes that it's none of you, part of me hopes I'm not alone.

Women's Sexuality: A Constant Criticism
For years, I have grown with boys who are now men, who have proudly worn their sexuality on their backs like a rucksack. Times are changing and women want to do this too. I know I certainly do and would, why are we so squeamish when it comes to women talking about sex?

Best Sex Positions for Fuller Figures
As a curvy woman like myself, I know what it's like to be in the middle of a romp, twisted in a position that I know has to be unflattering. Now, bless my lucky stars that my husband thinks I am perfect the way I am (physically, definitely not mentally) and no matter which way he contorts my size 12 body, he swears it's the sexiest thing on the planet. His words not mine, people.

Sex Tips for Older Virgins
Being a virgin is strange in our society. If you're a virgin as a teenager, people applaud you for it. If you're a virgin for too long, people start acting concerned. Even if you are a virgin and happy to do it, people will often stigmatize virginity after a certain age.

Best Sex Toys for LDRs
Long distance relationships, also known as LDRs, are difficult. It's rough, because you often can't feel their embrace and even keeping intimacy alive can be difficult. Assuming you can't handle the high prices associated with commuting to your lover every weekend or so, you will need to find a way to make your sex life work.

Posing Nude
I am a large woman and as many of my friends and enemies know I am a rather frequent nudist. Now nudity isn't something all large women and men are particularly comfortable with. The majority of nudes we see in our society are in movies, porn or artist photographs; the bulk of these feature thin people frequently with medical enhancements. Doesn't make us thick-inclined types so sure anyone wants to see us naked and instills an internalized fear of our own nude bodies.
