Lovemaking is a lifelong journey that brings with it many ups and downs. As a sexologist, my job is to make sure my readers and clients are always learning more about sex and feeling empowered to experience great sex throughout their lifetime. Learning new techniques is all part of the quest for deeper intimacy and powerful sex, which brings me to three lovemaking techniques that I believe will enrich your journey and heighten your next sexual encounter:
Read MoreSex is supposed to bring us joy and pleasure, but more often than not sex is filled with worry, stress, and anxiety. The topic of sex is very complicated and it’s completely normal for every individual to have their different hangups and challenges about sex at different stages of life. If you do have sexual challenges that concern you, it may be time to chat to a professional and address the concerns. But before you do, read on and you may find that your worry is actually very common, and that perhaps you just need to stop worrying, let go, and start having more fun.
Read MoreAdults need sex education too, and in my opinion, we’re simply not getting enough. As children we experience a floored education system that doesn’t teach us anything about the complexities of sex and intimacy. We enter adulthood clueless, literally feeling our way through the ins and outs of sexual relationships. As a result, many of us assume that great sex should just magically ‘happen’, and when it doesn’t, we up and leave the relationship, or begin looking for sex outside of the relationship. I believe neither of these options are always the right solution and that couples and singles need to continually educate themselves about sex throughout their lifetime.
Read MoreI’m sick and tired of everyone talking about 50 Shades of Grey. Don’t get me wrong - I’ve read the book and seen the movie. Overall I think it’s great that conversations about a kind of sex not usually depicted in the mainstream have opened up. But today I’m not interested in talking about BDSM or the movies as such. Today I’m talking about 50 Shades of Gay. As much as the mainstream embraced BDSM, it still kind of fails to embrace all the shades. That’s right - I’m talking sexuality, and the fact it’s not black and white or always heteronormative. Sexuality should be discussed and re-branded as being one of many possibilities.

Whether you’re single or in a relationship, increasing your sexual happiness will do wonders for your overall physical and mental health and wellbeing. With this in mind, I have come up with 3 simple steps that give you a chance to boost your sexual happiness today:
Read MoreThese days it’s easy to get caught up in the daily-grind called ‘life’ and before we know it, self-love and pleasure seem to be placed on the back burner. Before long we begin to feel frustrated and annoyed (often blaming our lovers) for the lack of pleasure and satisfaction we feel in our everyday life. With this in mind, here are 3 tips for better self-loving:
Read MoreHolistic sex education in Australian schools is scarce. If education does take place, it’s limited to the bare essentials - how to put a condom on a banana, alongside various scare tactics surrounding the contraction of STI’S, HIV and unplanned pregnancy. In no way am I suggesting that the aforementioned topics are not important, (because they are) but what about all the other stuff?
Read MoreThe orgasm gap is a concept among sex researchers that explains the unequal distribution of orgasms between women and men. According to a recent American survey, men experience orgasm up to three times more often than women. When stats like these hit the media there’s always a lot of discussion about how to close the orgasm gap. But what if the gap doesn’t need to be ‘closed’? What if we accept that the orgasmic patterns of women and men shouldn’t be compared? All genders experience pleasure in different and unique ways and for a lot of people, orgasm isn’t always a necessary ingredient for great sex.
