Why I created a sex toy website

I’ve always enjoyed the world of adult pleasure products or what are still referred to sex toys. Before I was a sexologist, I was doing some freelance writing work and my first regular gig was with FHM magazine. One day I was asked to review a brand of sex toys. I met with the rep and soon had an apartment with every power point was occupied, charging products that were not household appliances. I never knew so many different variations existed. And that was just the start. Many people are fearful of sex toys. I’m not sure why. Maybe it’s because this world is often seen as being seedy. But I’ve always been baffled as to why it should be this way. Maybe it’s because some think that reaching out for these products means you are desperate to spice things up. That may be true for some, but I see…

National Women’s Health and Fitness Day

Add your comment...

Today is National Women’s Health and Fitness Day. I was just going to post a photo promoting and celebrating it, but instead I also wanted to share a bit about what health and fitness really means to me. I feel as though, when it comes to this, there is such a focus on the way we look on the outside. We want to physically see results when we work out. We want to slim down, tone up, bulk up, get that bigger bouncy booty. But why? So, we can look like everyone else? So, we can “fit in” or gain our confidence? Even the concept of changing our bodies to gain confidence baffles me. By doing so we end up gaining confidence by changing ourselves to feel as though we fit in to a standard of beauty that society has set and that makes us happy, therefore boosting our confidence….

Behind the scenes on ‘The Bachelor’

Add your comment...

In last night’s episode of The Bachelor, someone familiar might just have appeared. I’ve always be a fan of the show and loved watching, so when I was asked to help explore intimacy and connections between Matt and the final 5, I didn’t hesitate to jump in. But, of course I always have more to say… (I could talk a fish under water). Throughout the day I spent on set, we ran two activities to help Matt explore the unspoken bond, deep intimacy and connection he had with each of the girls. What I loved about this concept is that there is a decent part of this show based on superficial aspects. Of course, you have to be attracted to someone as well as have a bond. There is a lot of talk about futures matching up and ticking things off a list. At this point, the idea of explore…

Do you want to share your dating stories with me?

Add your comment...

Are you single and struggling in the dating world? Would you like to take part in a brand-new audio series with me? I am looking for single people of any sexual orientation and identity, to take part in a new series exploring the world of dating and the issues people face, with an emphasis on building non-visual connections. We live in new era where dating is more fast paced and superficial and it feels as though there is a new app and dating trend each day. It can often seem confusing and overwhelming, but so many are just searching for that same thing, a connection with another. Are you on the dating scene and need guidance with finding the right match, to explore intimacy, or how to prepare for that all important first date? I would love to hear your dating stories, good or bad and share how dating has…
