One ā€œTrickā€ To Revolutionize Your Sex Life

podcasts Jun 07, 2017

In this weekā€™s quickie episode, Jess describes how understanding your ā€œCore Erotic Feelingā€ can improve your sex life. Whether youā€™re turned on by love, tenderness, humiliation or compliments, training your partner to evoke your core erotic feeling is key to a fulfilling sex life!

Podcast Transcript:

Itā€™s not a trick at all. Itā€™s a straightforward exercise you can do on your own and with your partner (if you have one) that really will revolutionize your sex life.

It involves learning to understand your core erotic feeling (CEF).

Your core erotic feeling is the feeling that you most strongly associated with sexual desire, arousal, pleasure, and fulfillment.

To help identify your CEF, answer this simple question: how do you need to feel in order to enjoy sex?

Do you need to feel loved? Relaxed? Appreciated? De-stressed? Desired? Sexy? Challenged? Threatened? Jealous? Subjugated? Powerful? Surprised?

This list is obviously non-exhaustive.

Your core erotic feeling is so intrinsi...

5 Toys To Revolutionize Your Sex Life! Part 1

jess' article reviews Jun 07, 2017

When I first started working in the field of human sexuality, most of the toys on offer came in the form of exaggerated phalluses and animal-inspired vibes made of jelly. Fast forward to today and Iā€™m thrilled to report that the adult toy industry has come along way. The variety and quality of products has vastly improved and many companies are investing heavily in research and development to ensure that their toys reflect the needs of their customers.

As a sexologist, Iā€™m often asked to review toy prototypes and provide feedback (itā€™s a tough job, but somebody has got to to it!) and the companies Iā€™ve worked with have been highly responsive to constructive criticism. From tech-enabled couplesā€™ toys to products that focus as much on health as pleasure, itā€™s an exciting time in the adult industry.

There are thousands of toys, props and accoutrements on the market, but these are five that have revolutionized my sex life and those of my very happy clients:

You know how much I love lube! Sex is simply hotter with the addition of this sexy, slippery stuff and if you have reactive skin, Astroglideā€™s Sensitive Skin Gel may be just what the doctor ordered.

Try these sexy ways to apply lube to your lover:

  • Apply to your palm and then squeeze your hand in a fist allowing the lube to drip sensually over their most sensitive spots.
  • Blindfold them and use a soft-bristled makeup brush to create a sensational experience.
  • Roll a few drops over your lips and use your mouth as your applicator.
  • Apply with your fingertips and then breathe warm air over the wet spots.

4.Ā Ben Wa Balls
These nifty devices have seen a resurgence of popularity since the release of the Fifty Shades trilogy and I really love the Scarlet Couture Glass Duo Balls.

Is Your Friend Marrying the Wrong Person?

What should you do if you think your friend is about to marry the wrong person? Should you speak up or forever hold your peace?Ā I weigh in on this sensitive subject with Jeff McArthur on Global TV's The Morning Show. Check out my advice and the video below!

Ā 
1. Should you tell a friend theyā€™re marrying the wrong person?
In most cases, you should keep your mouth shut, but it depends on a few factors:

  • Are they wrong for your friend or wrong for you? Do you dislike the way their partner has impacted your friendship with this friend or are you genuinely concerned for your friendā€™s happiness?
  • Are you really a good judge of whether or not someone is right or wrong for somebody else. Iā€™m a so-called relationship expert (I read dozens of new studies each week and engage with thousands of couples each year) and Iā€™m not even comfortable making that kind of call in most cases.

2. Are there any cases when you should speak up?Ā 

  • If there is abuse. If youā€™re concerned about controlling, ber

Love and Affection in Elle Brazil's Latest Cover

By Alison Minor

Earlier this week,Ā Elle Brazil celebrated their 29th anniversary and the LBGTQ community in a beautifully commendatory fashion. They featured a same-sex couple on their highly anticipated, glossy annual issue of the magazine. The cover is irrefutably beautiful and was met with an inspiringly positive response all around.

For the current sexual and political landscape of Brazil, this cover matters a lot. Members of the LBGTQ community in Brazil have been subject to fatal hate crimes, most of which did not involve any form of robbery. In the past four years, Brazil has lost nearly 1,600 beautiful gay, lesbian, and transgender souls to mindless and hate-fueled violence. This number is most likely higher, due to policeā€™s preference to omit details of victimsā€™ sexual orientation because of the strong taboo that surrounds the subject.

The issueā€™s theme was affection, and we applaud Elle Brazil, and all those who bravely stand for inclusivity and LBGTQ rights. This public c...

Why did Melania Slap Trumpā€™s Hand Away?

Everyday, President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump are objectified under the media's microscope. So when an act of PDA is rejected, we immediately jump to conclusions about their relationship. I discuss this further with Jeff McArthur on Global TV's The Morning Show. Read my advice and watch the video below!

1. Is it a big deal that she slapped his hand away?

Itā€™s only a big deal because they were in public. And it was more of a rebuff than a slap of the hand. Every single one of us has felt this way toward our partner at some point in time, so letā€™s not single out Melania. Iā€™m married to the nicest, most charming, most loving man I could imagine and I still donā€™t want to hold his hand at every moment in time. Whether or not youā€™re a fan of Trump or Melania, you have to admit that weā€™re often looking for opportunities to criticize their relationship oftentimes because we're insecure about our own.

I should note, however, that the most meaningful time to show affection ...

Confessions of a Codependent

By Alison Minor

We all have a friend who always seems to be in a relationship and who never seems to be single for more than (what feels like) five minutes. I can sincerely say that I have been that person for a majority of my mature life. As a result of this, I became codependent in the process. It came to a point where I was datingĀ people who were not a good fit for me. It became an issue that I was far too afraid to solve.

However, now that I've finally broke the habit of clinging to my partner-of-the-moment, I will never go back.

Whether you find yourself constantly involved in a relationship, but yearning forĀ a sense of independence or youā€™re generally unhappy in a relationship, but too comfortable to leave, these are my tips to break free of ā€œcodependence.ā€

1. Find things you love to do. As someone who always had a partner, I found that I would lose my personality in them. If they liked hockey, so did I. If they liked spending time outdoors, so did I. Taking on your partnerā€™s...

Your Guide to G-Spots & Squirting

podcasts May 25, 2017

This weekā€™s episode is a wet one! Jess shares the science of G-Spots & squirting along with techniques you can try tonight. She answers common questions including: Can all women squirt?Ā Is the G-Spot a real thing? Is female ejaculate pee? How can I get my partner to squirt? What is the Vagus nerve?

If youā€™d rather read about the G-Spot and Squirting, check out some summary notes from The New Sex Bible below:

The G-Spot

This sensitive area accessible through the upper wall of the vagina (toward the stomach) has enjoyed its share of controversy over the years. Dr. Beverly Whipple named the G-Spot after Dr. Ernst Grafenberg, M.D., who previously described it as a ā€œdistinct erotogenic zoneā€ on the anterior vaginal wall along the urethra that responds to sexual stimulation. The G-Spot is an area marked by many sensitive nerve pathways, tissues and organs, but it is not a distinct entity, nor is it located inside of the vagina; Dr. Whipple clarifies that it can be felt through the vagi...
