Still Searching for Prince Charming

Books With Great Sex Writing

You might think writing a sex scene is easy, but try it and you’ll find it isn’t. Whose arm goes where? Can he really get his dick in from that position? Whoops, she now has three legs. Read a poorly-written sex scene and you’ll know you’re reading a poorly-written sex scene. Read a great sex…

Porn with a Plotline – thanks, Netflix

Have the UK’s new porn restrictions left you feeling horny and frustrated? Join the club. Introduced as a means to protect children from accessing harmful content, the recently introduced Online Safety Act has made it harder to view adult content online. There’s no debate about this being A Good Thing, but it’s understandable to forget…

A Sex Toy for Couples that Redefines Vibration

You don’t want to read another blog post about a sex toy’s ability to give you mind-blowing orgasms. And frankly, I don’t want to write about that. Instead, let me tell you about a couple’s sex toy that’s unlike one I’ve ever seen or experienced before – bear in mind I write for Lovehoney. And…

Spotting Red and Green Flags in Dating

You’ve just met someone. They’re charming, funny, and their messages make you smile. Maybe you’ve had a few great dates. You start wondering: maybe this one is different.

Questions to Ask Your Partner Before Getting Jiggy With It

Life’s complicated, which makes sex complicated — even, or especially, with someone you’ve been in a relationship with for a while. We don’t always want sex every day, or in the same way each time we do have sex, so why should we presume our partner wants the same kind of sex each time? At…

Sex Toys for Beginners

I’ve been writing for Lovehoney for the best part of a year, and in that time, I’ve written about a lot of sex toys. Scouring countless product reviews and honest accounts on the Lovehoney Forum, I’ve got the inside scoop on the sex toys getting the nation off. You’ve probably heard of dildos, vibrators and…

A Sexy Playlist – part 1

What songs get you in the mood? Do you opt for a sensual genre or seek a particular song? I whack on my “Me and You” playlist. (I’m a serial shuffler, so there’s no order to it. Life’s too busy to think about BPM.) I first published this sexy playlist about 5 years ago. Since…

There’s No Safe Way to Choke Someone

If I told you that some people get a kick out of being choked or choking someone during sex, would you raise your eyebrows or smirk? Maybe you’re into it, you’ve seen it in porn – or perhaps it’s been done to you when you didn’t ask for it. Choking is becoming increasingly common in…

What Happens When I Orgasm?

Is it a sex blog without a post about orgasms? Well, yes, because otherwise the past decade of writing has been futile. But it’s about time I wrote about the Big O. What is it? What happens in our brains and bodies? And how do we have more of them? Warning: it’s a sciencey piece….
