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…

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…
2023 Porn Trends
Who doesn’t like a round-up of the previous year in September?! Some might say it’s the perfect time as we gear up to the rundowns of the current year. The last time I looked at porn trends was in 2021, shortly after Covid when people had spent a lot of time indoors, wondering how to…
Can Women Have Wet Dreams?
Wet dreams are often thought of as a nuisance for teenage boys so you can imagine my surprise when, one day last week, I woke up at 5 AM feeling like I’d had an orgasm. Had I actually dreamt I had an orgasm? No, I really did climax – hands-free. I’d forgotten that this had…
2021 Porn Trends
We all know porn is big business. According to a 2015 report, 40 million adults in the US regularly visit Internet porn sites (though how often the study quantifies “regular viewing” is anyone’s guess), every second 28,258 users are watching porn and yet porn is estimated to only make up 4% of the Internet. Earlier…
Bibi does…Brighton, with Calandra and Tim
This summer, on one of Brighton’s few hot evenings of the year, 30-odd sweaty foreheads and hastily-foraged freestanding fans bundled into Amy’s Room for another night of Bibi Lynch’s comedy chat show. This time hosted with local journalist Tracey Davies, Bibi spoke with Brighton’s iconic husband-and-wife duo, Tim Richardson and Calandra Balfour about their story,…
When Will Sex Be Good Again?
Warning: spoilers and content some readers may find triggering. “In recent years, two requirements have emerged for good sex; consent and self-knowledge,” writes Katherine Angel in her recent book, Tomorrow Sex Will Be Good Again*. When it comes to self-knowledge (we’ll get to consent shortly), it’s not always easy to know what turns us on…
What Stories Could Your Vulva Tell?
Last month, I came across a body-casting artist who showcases the human body. Now, she’s bringing her work to a wider audience by creating a book containing photos of 200 vulvas she cast from 2019 to 2021. With her new Vulva Diversity Project, Lydia Reeves hopes to celebrate vulvas, educate readers and help women feel…
To Pube or Not to Pube? It’s None of Your Business
Almost two years ago I wrote about my love affair with pubic hair and, amazingly, it’s the top post by which people stumble across this blog from Google. Aside from the catchy title and readers being enticed by a saucy topic, why else is it so popular? Is it because pubes are such a divisive…
Why I Write About Sex
When I started this blog at the age of 21 (I am now 28), I wanted to write about my experiences of sex, dating and relationships because what I wanted to find out and talk about regarding sex wasn’t available in the magazines I was reading, the porn I was watching or the websites I…
