Vibrators and Sexual Satisfaction: More Myths and Misconceptions

3/23/2024

The Importance of Expressing Love During Conflict

3/18/2024

Turning Off the Turn-Offs: The Key to Better Sex

3/9/2024
I don’t recall where I saw it, but I read some sexpert saying working on the turn-ons isn’t enough. We need to “turn off the turn-offs”. I think that’s brilliant.
