The age-old question: Is bigger better? Rages on. And there is no right answer. It is whatever your preference is. Some women like feeling “full” or “stretched” by their partner’s penis and some women like the depth of penetration.
Some men like tight. The basics of it are simple. A tighter vaginal canal increases the friction of the penis in the vagina. …
If you read my columns or follow my blog, you’ll see that I tend to avoid euphemisms when it comes to sex and body parts. I believe that using accurate terminology around issues of sexuality helps to avoid ambiguity and also conveys the message that sex and our bodies are not something that should be shrouded in shame.

The ceremony, the celebration, and the dress – they are all a part of a beautiful wedding, and even more importantly, something most girls have been planning since they were young.
