Once full arousal is reached, I allow myself to get close to coming, but pull back and breathe deep, dropping back down.
My cognitive dissonance kicks in when I consider the glaring omission of human sexuality in political discussions.
The number one sex toy is some kind of additional lubrication.
It's been said that life begins at 40 and since 60 is the new 40; I'd say you have some good times ahead of you.
Your fantasy is a way to rehearse those moments of childhood humiliation, except by ending with an orgasm, you're reclaiming your power from those nasty authority figures.
Next time you’re fucking, YOU stimulate your clitoris at the same time with however you do it when you masturbate.

How about the diaphragm that has fallen out fashion?
As we age, gravity takes a toll and things do shrink or appear to be smaller.
I just want to be honest but also don't want to scare people off.
Can you curve your penis from your masturbation technique?

As far as I know, I have never had a G-spot orgasm nor have I ever ejaculated. However, I do know many of my orgasms have been deep, powerful and satisfying. I've also enjoyed those little ten minute maintenance orgasms that release tension. 

I am still very much attracted to women, I only masturbate to female porn, and I would really like to have another female encounter.

Love to Perform Oral Sex on My Girlfriend When She's Very Musky

Dear Betty,

I love to perform oral sex on my girlfriend when she is very musky. I find it very erotic and exciting. If she has been to the gym, hasn't showered for a day, or especially the day after intercourse are the most exciting for me. The extremely musky scent and tangy taste drives me wild. She likes it too but is concerned that there might be a health risk from not washing.

What is "Sex Flush"?

Dear Betty,

I struggle to fully understand the mechanisms of the sex flush, I mean I understand what’s saying here, but I have a sexual experience fresh in mind; this man who made me blush, and blush… and the sex, the chemistry and the orgasms were also the most intense of my life so far ;)

So I can’t help but wondering: Was my blushing a physical sign (kind of) of how intense these sexual experiences were (if that’s so, sexflush is without any doubt the sexiest word of the week :D and will have to officially call him Mr. flush).

Are There Any Exercises to Loosen Up for Sex?

Dear Dr. Betty,

I'm one of a few women I know who have rarely been able to experience painless sex. In all my frustration I've seen countless GPs & specialists - they've all given me the same standard (but unhelpful) advice that I need to try other positions, or I need more lubrication. At the moment, I might as well be having sex in a olympic pool of olive oil.

How Plan B Works

I used Plan B once.  I'd just been to Planned Parenthood for my annual exam.  They gave me a Plan B sample.  Later that month I was with a lover and the condom broke.  I simply reached into my bag, popped a pill, and didn't give it a second thought:

Nervous About Threesome Because They're More Experienced

Dear Betty,

I'm coming at the open relationship thing from an opposite angle from the common question. A close friend of mine is open with her boyfriend and is interested in me to an extent. I'd take her up on it but I am confronted by two insecurities: I'm far less experienced than him and I don't want to strain anything because I don't know the exact boundaries in their openness.

You seem knowledgeable on how this works, but the articles on this site tend to confront openness from the partners' side rather than the fling's side.

Do I Have a Vaginal Tear?

Hello,

First would like to say your website has opened my mind and made me feel very comfortable with sexual activites, also well informing me about alot of variable sexual aspects, which have been useful to me and my partner.

My Ex is Religious. I'm Not. What Should I Teach My Sons About Sex?

Dear Betty

I'm a divorced mom and have 2 sons aged 6 and 8. I wanted to ask your advise on age appropriate sexual education material. Their dad is a very religious Jew and my kids go to a very orthodox school. Boys and girls are in separate classes from grade 0, and from a religious jewish perspective the aim is to keep boys and girls not touching until after marriage, and ejaculation outside of a vagina is seen as a BIG NO NO!

Why Does the US Favor Total Abdominal Hysterectomy?

Dear Betty,

Various surveys show that 30 to 40 percent of women have some sexual deterioration from a hysterectomy and the doctors don't tell them.  The government says that 40 percent of them are not needed. Since you are coming out against circumcision, FGM and labia surgery, I would think you would work on this also.

It would be especially noticed on Youtube.  Here it shows the effect of routinely removing the cervix in the operation:

How Could I be Penetrated & Still Have a Hymen?

Dear Betty,

I was raped as a child on more than one occasion. I don't know exactly how many times, because not all of the memories are clear, but they all took place within the same couple of months. I didn't tell anyone for years, so it wasn't in my medical file, and I hid it even from my family.
