Sex for the Soul: Tantric Explorations for Beginners

If all you know about Tantra has to do with Buddhism and Sting, think again. These Tantric tips are for anyone, and can help you have better sex in mind and body.

Sometimes sex can seem like a race toward orgasm. With so many tips, guides and articles for achieving orgasm ("guaranteed," "multiple" and "mind-blowing," get tossed around a lot) it’s no surprise that we sometimes forget that there’s more to sex than the finish line.

Can an Open Relationship Work?

Can true love really include sex with other people? Here's how to find out if it might work for you.
