Tools of the Trade
Question:
I have been with my partner for a long time and sex is starting to feel a bit boring....please help!
Answer:
A lot of times when you and a partner have been together for while you can get in a rut. This doesn't mean that you have used up all your sexual good times it just means that you need to spice it up a bit. Here are a few suggestions to get out of your sexual rut. You can always try some new positions but here are some items that you can purchase....
Toys and Vibrators:
Sometimes people view their vibrators as substitutes when their partners are gone but that is not the case. Feel free to introduce your alone time friend with your partner. Try having your partner use the toy on you or try using a vibrator when you are in the act. All the fun time isn't for the ladies either...try using a vibrating cock ring or try using the vibrator during oral sex or you man.... mix it up and see what each person enjoys.
Lube it up
Your body as part of the sexual response cycle creates it's own lubricants. During arousal the vaginal walls secrete fluids to lubricate the vagina decrease friction during penetration. Some women create enough lubricant and some women don't. It doesn't mean there is anything wrong with you. Some people just like lube to enhance pleasure with better slipping and sliding.
There are three different kinds of lubricats water-based, silicone-based and oil-baed. If you use condoms ALWAYS use a water based lubricant. Each of these has their advantages and disadvantages,however water-based lubes are by far the most popular. Some popular ones in the market are: KY jelly, Astroglide, Maximus and Wet. You can get most of the popular lubricants like KY at your drugstore or grocery store.
Lotions and Potions
Arousal gels and "his and hers" lotions are the latest thing. You can't watch TV without seeing a commercial for KY His & Hers. You may think that it is a scam but these potions actually work. There are warming and cooling gels as well as condoms.
Getting the Goods
Most of these items can be purchased in the condom aisle of your pharmacy or grocery store but there will be a wider selection at an adult store. If you are a bit shy and don't want to go to an adult store or try and sneak in some lube with a loaf of bread at the grocery store you can always order items on line. Some popular sites are

Wet and Wild
When you think of water you think of fun and wet – pair that up with sex that is usually fin and wet and you have a winning combination right? Well not necessarily. If you are thinking about getting wet and wild in the water there are a few things that you should consider.
Be sexy but be safe
If you are having sex you always run the risk of getting an STI or getting pregnant so remember to use protection. The only problem here is that condoms and water don’t mix. There is a chance that the condom can slip off and when you combine chemicals and hot water it can affect the durability of the condom. So what’s a girl to do? Remember to use a form of hormonal contraception to prevent pregnancy and if you want to jump in the deep end I would recommend only doing it with someone that you are in a mutually monogamous relationship with that you know is STI free.
Wetter doesn’t always mean better. Water can wash away a woman’s natural lubricant so try using a water-soluble lubricant like silicone based ones to keep everything slipping and sliding.
Diving in
Okay so you’ve decided to have sex in the water what now? Let’s figure out the where. When having sex it’s best to stay close to home. Having sex in public pools and hot tubs are filled with much more chlorine and chemicals that your own pools would be filled with. The last thing that you want is highly chlorinated water rushing in and out of the vagina – hello infection! If you plan to get it on in public let me recommend oral sex. You can still use a condom because one of you has to be out of the water and it can be fun and safe. Thinking of a lake or an ocean? Well salt water and sand aren’t a vagina’s best friend. No matter how careful you think you are oceans and lakes are filled with organisms, dirt and sand that can get pushed into a vagina – hello infection! When it comes to sex on the beach I’d stick with the cocktail version. Tubs and the shower can be fun and there isn’t any chlorine or organisms to get you down. The only thing to keep in mind is that tubs and showers are slippery and sometimes tiny spaces – I would recommend some anti slip treads in the shower and doing some light stretching before.
As you can tell having sex in the water can be fun but you need to take some precautions. If you are ready to get wet and wild here are some new positions in the water to try out .
There are some myths that I would like to dispel about sex in the water.
Myth # 1
You can’t get pregnant if you have sex in the water
False. Truth is that once a man ejaculates into the vagina those sperm are on a mission to find an egg and fertilize. No amount of water is going to abort their mission. Water is not a method of contraception.
Myth # 2
Hot tubs and Jacuzzis are hot so they prevent pregnancy
Erroneous. Some people think that because of the high temperatures in the hot tub the heat will kill sperm. Truth is that even though hot temperatures can decrease a man’s sperm count he is still ejaculating several million of those little guys and it only takes one to fertilize an egg.
Myth # 3
You can get pregnant if a man ejaculates into a pool
Bogus. If a man ejaculates into a pool it is highly unlikely tat a women will get pregnant. True that sperm are strong swimmers but they aren’t part of any swim team that I know. Pools and Jacuzzis have chlorine, chemicals, bubbles and other chemicals so those spermies don’t stand a chance for more than a couple of seconds out on their own. If a woman is sitting on the edge of a pool I highly doubt that the sperm will be able to swim through the water and jump through the air – Free Willy Style – and land into the vagina. I know that sounds ridiculous but I’m just trying to make a point here.
Myth # 4
You can’t get an STI in the water
Untrue. Truth is that if you are having unprotected sex you are at risk for STI’s regardless if you are floating in a pool or not.

Quality or Quantity?
Would you rather have better sex or lots of sex?
The best answer here would be lots of better sex but that's not the option I'm giving you. More isn’t always better. When you focus on quality instead of quantity you will spend more time on each other. When you spend more time trying to please one another your chances for orgasm greatly increase. Let’s be honest when sex is better you are more likely to have more of it and something that we can all be thankful for this holiday season.
Try out some new sex positions that will have you and your partner giving thanks well beyond Thanksgiving.
If you are feeling really saucy this Thanksgiving you can always try the Turkey Baster! For proper turkey basting have your partner lie on the bed and fold their legs up so they cover her face. Squat over your partner, facing away from them and penetrate in either her anus or her vagina. Move up and down baste that turkey! GOBBLE GOBBLE!!!!!

Plan B, C, D, E and F?
Question:
Is it dangerous to take plan B more than once in a week?
Answer:
Plan B (the morning after pill) is made up of a hefty dose of hormones so it depends on why you want to take it again. If you took Plan B within 120 hours of having unprotected sex then you followed the directions correctly and you have a good chance that you won't become pregnant. I would NOT take it again "just to make sure." However if for some reason you had unprotected sex again after you took the first dose of Plan B then you can take it again but it will cause some abdominal cramping, nausea, possible spotting, irregular period, you make skip a period all together until your system gets back on track and regulated.
Plan B is called Plan B for a reason ... there are a lot of Plan A's that you can use: don't have sex, condoms, birth control pills, diaphragm, IUD, sponge etc... Plan B is not and should not be taken as your only form of birth control. If you are concerned about becoming pregnant please see a doctor and discuss your birth control options, BE PROACTIVE!

Unintentionally Sexually Explicit

And the word of the day is......
Question:
What is snowballing? I heard people laughing about it and I was lost in the conversation.
Answer:
Eskimo kisses aren't the only kind of kissing they are doing in Alaska! Snowballing is when a man ejaculates in your mouth and then you spit it back into their mouth when you kiss them. I have also heard of this used when a man ejaculates in your mouth and kiss someone else pass the cum and then they continue to pass it around to different people creating sort of a larger snowball since it is mixing with saliva as well.
Just a quick note that not all guys are necessarily interested in getting a taste of their own baby batter so don't spit without warning. If this is something that you guy is into, fabulous now you have a new trick in your tool belt.
ENJOY!
