As the lines between casual hookups and long-term commitment become increasingly blurry, new data shows that more hearts are being broken as the result of situationships — romantic relationships that lack a clear definition or commitment — than committed relationships. Last week, eharmony released their annual Dating Diaries report which revealed that more than three-quarters…

High school students are having less sexual intercourse. That’s what the studies say. But that doesn’t mean they’re having less sex.

“I’m Bisexual and Non-monogamous.” confessed Ruby Rare @_rubyrare. “I didn’t come out to myself, or anyone else, until I was in my early 20s. I am queer and always have been queer but I was raised in a world that assumed my heterosexuality, so it took a lot of time to think of myself as…

Although the majority of swinging will end up involving lovemaking and getting frisky with each other’s partners, some swinging guidelines suggest that it isn’t all about fresh flesh.

Confessing why I cheated. First things first: I’m an unscrupulous asshole. I went against my marriage vows. Repeatedly. The scarlet letter burned in my soul reminds me that I’m a s**tty person who did something I deem unforgivable. I cheated. I have no excuse for my behaviour. As an adult, we make choices. No one…
Those who prefer casual anonymous sex to repeated-partner play have likely, at some point in their sexual journey, contended with the wrath of slut-shaming culture. But for some, the preference for emotion-free sex is more than a celebration of sexuality and bodily autonomy; it’s a sexual orientation. Behold: fraysexuality. “’Fraysexual’ is a term that describes…
Whenever I hear someone openly admit they are in an open relationship or marriage, they are met with accusations of cheating or not being in a “real” relationship. Their relationships are not taken seriously, and sometimes even laughed or scoffed at. But actually, open and poly relationships can be some of the healthiest and most…
Both Vicki and I could see the longing in her eyes. Susan needed dick. Susan was and had been the all and everything, the world, to a four year old, and a nine-month old for too long. Needing some respite, some wild fun, Susan required an injection of strange dick, badly. That very evening we…

Ethical non-monogamy vs. Polyamory. Polyamory is one form of practicing ethical non-monogamy, which is an umbrella term that encompasses many other types of relationships. Swinging, casual sex, open relationships, and polyamory are all forms of ethical non-monogamy, and there are many others. Polyamory refers to having multiple romantic partners at once, which not all ethically…
There are two ways of practicing non-monogamy: the nonconsensual kind, which is also known as cheating, and the consensual kind, which is known as consensual or ethical non-monogamy. This latter kind has risen in popularity dramatically in recent years. One 2017 study found 1 in 5 people has been in some form of ethically non-monogamous relationship before. Here’s what this type…
In order to survive and thrive normally, humans need nourishment (food and drink), sleep, sexual release, and social interaction.
