Everyone communicates differently, especially when it comes to love. You may feel like you and your partner are always on different chapters of the same book. Often, the reason is that you're speaking different love languages.

It isn't a secret that the responsibility for a better sex life rests with both partners.

Intimacy is the closeness you feel with other people in your relationships. Intimacy is much more than just sex and sexual pleasure. Intimacy is built-in friendships with family members and with romantic partners. Creating trust, feeling accepted, and having compassion for one another builds intimacy over time.

Intimacy isn't built overnight. It is a long-term commitment to another person. It happens by being vulnerable and sharing experiences together.

Initiating sex is a spot of contention in many couples. In an ideal world, all partners would experience sexual desire simultaneously. However, that rarely happens.

The prostate is a walnut-shaped gland that is part of the male (penis-owner) reproductive and ejaculatory system. It is highly regarded by backdoor pleasure enthusiasts because of the earth-rocking orgasms it provides.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Almost everyone is self-conscious about their genitals. Penis-owners tend to experience a tremendous amount of shame about the appearance, color, size, and angle of their penises.

You've heard all about it, but you're still not quite sure what BDSM is.

BDSM is a grossly misappropriated and misunderstood topic. It is often blown out of proportion or demonized by popular media.

BDSM groups and practices are based around mutual consent and different types of erotic experiences. They are a completely healthy expression of sexuality. Often, it doesn't involve penetrative sex.

It's all about the erotic exchange of power.

Have you ever been called "clingy"? Or "emotionally absent"? You behave these ways because your attachment style in relationships molds how you act. There are four different attachment styles, three of which are insecure, one is secure. The good news is that you can change your attachment style.
