5 Ways to Tell if Someone’s Good in Bed

People ask me all the time for ways to tell if someone’s good in bed. In fact, I just got this email from a listener in Houston:   Dear Emily, Do you have any tips for figuring out if someone’s good in bed before you sleep with them? The reason I’m asking is because there’s this guy at work who I always thought was really hot, but he had a girlfriend. Well, the other day he came over to my desk to specifically ask if I was going to happy hour on Friday. Then I found out he and his girlfriend had broken up! Now I can’t stop thinking about sleeping with him and I’m dying of curiosity. Are there any clues that might help me even though I only see him in an office? Read more

5 Different Kinds of Orgasms Women Can Experience

5 kinds of orgasms a woman can experience
I know what you’re thinking: “Different kinds of orgasms?!? I just want to orgasm, period.” The most popular questions I get asked from women time and time again is, “what’s wrong with me? I can’t orgasm during sex.” Nothing is wrong with you. Only about 30% of women reach orgasm during penetration alone.

If I gave you the sex talk instead of your mother…

If I gave you the sex talk instead of your mother
  1. Sex can be a lot of fun, especially when you like the person you’re having sex with. (Let’s not get into hate sex right now).  
  2. Always use protection. Guys, slap on a condom. I don’t care if it doesn’t feel as spectacular as going in unclad. You’re still going to have orgasm and won’t have to pay child support for the rest of your life.Ladies, not only does birth control make your boobs bigger and your skin clearer, it prevents babies from popping out of you. There’s nothing worse than praying for your period. Then breaking down in tears of joy when the horrible cramps seize your body and you know you’re not pregnant.Get on birth control and make sure he’s wearing a condom. No guy is worth your time if he doesn’t want to wear one.

The Lost Art of Giving an Amazing Hand Job

Many consider the Hand Job (HJ) a lost art form– an uncherished relic from Sophomore year of High School. When a BJ seems too ambitious, you give a dry-handed tug. The hand job is often done half-assed because people don’t put their hearts into it, and don’t use nearly enough lube. Man mastered the hand job on himself out of necessity. He realized around age 13 how amazing his penis is, and how no one will even think about touching it for at least two years. But even if you don’t know the exact rhythm and pressure he prefers, you have the advantage of not being his left hand, and having breasts (among other things). While the hand job might not be your go-to move in the bedroom, you should definitely give it a second chance and work it into your rotation. Sure, many guys might think, “I’ve got this, why do I need my girlfriend to give me a HJ?”  Well, those are the guys who haven’t had it done the way I’m about to explain to you. It’s just like scratching an itch. Sure, you can scratch your own back, but isn’t it better when someone else scratches it for you? (Note: Do not scratch his penis. This is a metaphor.) Read more
