Actual things you can do to bridge the orgasm gap in your own bedroom

TwitterFacebook

Your sexual partner just jubilantly crossed the finish line, but you’re still running a race with no end in sight. It’s frustrating. And, for an alarming number of heterosexual women, it’s the infuriating reality of sex. Metaphors aside, we’re talking about the gender orgasm gap—the disparity between men and women’s sexual satisfaction, and a struggle that many of us know all too well. 

64 percent of men have an orgasm during sex, but only 34 percent of women can say the same, according to the Durex Global Sex Survey which surveyed nearly 30K adults worldwide. Women who identify as heterosexual are the demographic that have the fewest orgasms, according to a study by Indiana University. That same research also revealed something that many women are already fully aware of: penetrative sex alone simply doesn’t cut it for most women. And, that women need oral sex and clitoral stimulation if they’re going to stand any chance of coming.  Read more…

The internet of dildos is here, and it’s vulnerable as hell

TwitterFacebook

When your internet-connected lightbulb gets hacked, a university gets DDoS’d. But when the same thing happens to your internet-connected vibrator? Well, let’s just say the ramifications are a tad more personal.

Welcome to the wild, wonderful, and oh-so vulnerable world known to security researchers as the internet of dildos. A subdomain of the internet of things, IoD encompasses the bevy of connected sex toys adding a little digital spice to our love lives — just maybe not the kind of spice anyone had in mind.

‘SEX Club’ spam just took over Strava

TwitterFacebook

For millions of people, the fitness-tracking app Strava is a handy tool for logging runs and sharing exercise data with friends. Strava may also be, it turns out, a great way to join a sex club.

On Wednesday, an untold number of Strava users received unsolicited invitations from someone by the name of Jessy Kiss to a group called “SEX Club.”

“You’re Invited,” reads the message. “Jessy Kiss invited you to join SEX Club. Accept this invitation and you’ll get access to all the club’s discussions, events, group activities, photos and stories — and lots of cool stuff you can’t get anywhere else.” Read more…

Liam Neeson and Helen Mirren discuss their 1981 sex scene that never made the film

TwitterFacebook

It turns out when you have two famous actors who used to be an item on a talk show together, you get some pretty great stories.

Liam Neeson and Helen Mirren — who actually used to live together — both appeared on the latest edition of The Graham Norton Show. Neeson spoke about the first time he saw her, which happened to be on the set of the 1981 movie Excalibur — and then they moved on to chat about a sex scene they filmed on that same movie that never made the final cut (skip to 2:30 in the video above).

Where are all the sex toys for older adults?

TwitterFacebook

It isn’t every day you see a sex toy on a billboard, and it’s even more rare you’ll see one in the hands of a person in their seventies.

But thanks to Grace and Frankie, the Netflix sitcom starring Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda, that’s exactly what people saw when the show’s third season premiered last year. The series, which centers around two friends who face many challenges while trying to create a vibrator for seniors, has brought to light an interesting real-life question: Where are all the sex toys for older people?

Last season followed the unlikely roommates as they conceptualized, prototyped, and focus-grouped the “Ménage à Moi.” It’s a vibrator made for and — perhaps more importantly — marketed to older women, particularly those who have a hard time using traditional models because of their arthritis.  Read more…
