Sex Column
You know what’s not sexy? Silence. If your bedroom antics sound like a quiet game of chess, it might be time to channel your inner opera singer—or at least your inner human. Research shows that making noises during sex—moaning, sighing, gasping—isn’t just something borrowed from dodgy movies. It’s actually part of how humans communicate pleasure and desire. According to a study published in Archives of Sexual Behaviour, vocalizing during sex increases arousal for both partners and helps synchronize rhythm and Connection. Think of it this way: sex is a team sport. Your partner needs feedback to know how they’re doing. Is this working? Should I keep going? Am I winning? Verbal and non-verbal sounds help keep everyone in the loop.
The History of BDSM
The Kama Sutra, compiled between 400 BCE and 200 CE in India, is often misunderstood as just a sex manual. In truth, it’s a sophisticated treatise on relationships and pleasure.

Crucially, it discusses mutual enjoyment, consent, and the understanding that not all acts are pleasurable for all participants—making it one of the earliest known texts to explore consent in erotic play.

Making sex better: A guide to more pleasure and less performance pressure
Sex isn’t a talent show. There’s no panel of judges scoring you on technique, flexibility, or artistic interpretation. The only thing that matters is enjoyment—yours and your partner’s.

Communication and intimacy
