1. What is a sexually transmitted disease or STD?

Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) is the politically correct term for what used to be called “veneral disease (VD)”. These are diseases that are transmitted through or as the result of sexual activity (not just sexual intercourse).

There are no BDSM specific sexually transmitted diseases but like any other sexual activity BDSM activity CAN spread STDs.

Heterosexuals are a lot less STD aware than the homosexual world is, but they should be just as educated on the subject. As a result, the current risk groups for any STD are heterosexual women.

There are many different sexually transmitted diseases and certainly not all are directly related to the genital organs.

General information is freely and widely available from doctors, hospitals, first aid centers, pharmacies and of course on the Internet.

2. How does one get STD infected?

Some sexually transmitted diseases are viruses, others are caused by bacteria, some by plain and simple dirt. As a result, there are different ways, in which people can get STD infected. An important form of STD infection is the contact between bodily fluids (most importantly blood, sperm, vaginal fluids and mother milk). This is especially true the most lethal ones in the Western world: such as Hepatitis (around in different varieties) and HIV (Aids). As a result, contact with bodily fluids should be avoided by anyone who has more than one partner (even if that is only incidental) and partners who have not been solely together for MANY years (not months). Incubation time (the “lead” time before the actual infection shows itself), in the case of HIV for example may be as much as five to seven years.

Another well known cause of STD infection is lack of hygiene. In the BDSM world especially quite a lot of personal hygiene is neglected. Toys that have been on the floor or in a toy bag should not be used unless cleaned and – when brought into contact with the genital area – protected. One should wear latex gloves during penetration, especially when in a (more) public environment.

3. What do I do when I (think I) am STD infected?

There is only one answer: visit your doctor as soon as possible. Bear in mind that your doctor is not there to judge you, but to cure you. And yes, doctors have seen it all before and many times. If you feel troubled by having to go to your doctor, turn to a first aid center or a specific STD center if there is one in your area.

Every STD spreads like wildfire! They are among the most contagous diseases. In most cases if you are infected, you do not only have a responsibility to yourself, but also to your partner(s) and to an extent to you entire environment.

4. Can an STD be cured?

Some can, and some cannot. There are no cures yet for HIV, hepatitis C and various forms of herpes, for example. HIV and hepatitis C are potentially lethal. So is syphylus, but there is a good cure for this disease.

5. Does an STD only effect me?

Every STD will effect you but most will also effect your partner and maybe others (such as unborn children) if not properly taken care of. Sometimes an STD can be the cause of dead babies or incurable medical problems. Some will not really effect the bearer, but will badly effect the partner and – for example – cause infertility (in males especially).

6. How do I protect myself against STD infection?

Your first line of defense is strict personal hygiene. Wear latex gloves and use condoms, also on penetrating toys, such as dildos and vibrators. Regularly clean equipment and – for example – wash bondage ropes.

The second important line of defense is to educate yourself. Again, know what the risks are and avoid them.

7. Does an STD spread quicker, because of BDSM activity?

The BDSM community is very open. It is not unusual to temporarily exchange partners, people switch partners frequently and such things as BDSM parties open an easy risk for infection. Besides, BDSM activity implies much more physical contact than most other forms of sexual behavior and there is the frequent use of toys and equipment. So, there indeed are more opportunities for infection, compared to a standard vanilla relationship. As a result – although no real research has been done in this area – there should be a higher risk of spreading an STD.

8. What BDSM activities are likely to spread an STD?

All forms of penetration, genital or by means of toys, fingers, fists or the mouth are activities that can transmit an STD. In terms of BDSM there are also other activities. Whipping may occasionally cause small superficial skin wounds and any breakage of the skin is a serious crack in the bodies main line of defense against diseases, including many STDs. Bondage ropes, used in the genital area, are a well known vehicle for sexually transmitted diseases and so are internal toys (vibrators, dildos, Ben Wah balls, vibrating eggs, etcetera). Nipple clamps may also cause small skin wounds. In general, BDSM activity is much more physically intens and physically demanding than most other forms of sexual activity. As a result, you should be more careful.

9. Why do governmental and health organisation hardly ever mention BDSM-acitivity in their STD information?

Most forms of what is generally known as “alternative sexuality” (such as BDSM) are overlooked by governmental and health organisations, when it comes to information and education about STD risks. The reason for this is largely in the fact that such organisations simply will not believe there are that many practitioners and that such organisations have no clue about BDSM. “Alternative sexuality” in the entire education of health care professionals usually takes up as much space (and attention) as ONE PAGE IN ONE BOOK! That is, if alternative sexuality is being mentioned at all!

10. How can I help to inform people about STD risks?

If you happen to be active in a local BDSM community, or for example have a personal website about BDSM, try and devote some time and space to sexually transmitted diseases occasionally. For example, next to workshops about flogging, bondage or needle play, a workshop about STD prevention will be very helpful. But, since this is not a popular subject you may also want to settle for having leaflets available, writing something in your magazine or newsletter if you have one and putting information on websites.

Do you and your partner have fun when making love? Individual sexualities and sexual activities should be enjoyed, and intimacy should be satisfying.

Do you and your partner have fun while having sex? Do you play with toys? Of course, you don’t need sex toys to orgasm, but they can add to sexual fun. So, you might want to invest in a few sex toys, for yourself and for your lover.

One sure fire way for women to achieve orgasm, is by clitoris stimulation. But, orgasm can be more powerful by experiencing vagina penetration and clitoral stimulation, at the same time. Women’s bodies are sensitive on the inside, as well as the outside, and sensations in both areas are deliciously sensual.

Of course, fingers can cause you to orgasm, but vibrators, dildos, and dongs can add that extra punch to the mix. Add vibrators, bullets, and clitoral pumps to clitoral sensations, and you’ve got an explosive situation!

IN THE BEGINNING:
A woman should know how to masturbate and climax, without the aid of a sex toy, before adding battery operated toys to her playtime. Knowing how to stimulate herself and reach orgasm allows her to get acquainted with her body and its pleasure zones before adding more stimulation.

But, if you are an experienced masturbater, or if you can’t get that orgasm by using just your fingers, there are toys available. In fact, there are so many sex toys on the market, that you’ll never want for anything again!

BULLETS:
For instance, a vibrating bullet is the best way to stimulate your clitoris while masturbation, and/or while having sex with a partner. These wonderful little bullets can arouse sensations anywhere on your body. Gently touching breasts, nipples, balls, or penis with these vibrating wonders, delivers a powerful punch. If you’re unfamiliar with bullets, they are toys that quickly tease your body into a frenzy. They’re small and won’t interfere with things your partner may be doing. And, if your all by yourself, a bullet will be your best sex friend. Bottom line – every woman must have a bullet!

Vibrators can be the next best thing to a bullet. They’re actually a longer version of the small bullet, but can be used externally or internally, and add more options for stimulation. Usually, vibrators make louder, and distinctive sounds, so if secrecy is an issue, you might want to stick with a bullet.

Try running the vibrator over your body, up your stomach, and down your thighs. Place it between your vaginal lips, and let the slow buzz build a fire. Gently place the tip of the vibrator on your clitoris for tremendous pleasure, or insert it and use a finger for clitoral stimulation. Vibrators are multi-purpose and can add a lot to your play time.

DUAL ACTION VIBRATORS:
Dual Action Vibrators are another best friend. These gems go above and beyond, doing double duty with insertion and clitoral stimulation at the same time! These toys are wonderful, but you should know how to climax without toys, before you invest in any of these marvels. Some dual action vibrators are waterproof, some spin, some are big, and some are small. All you need to do is find the one that works the best for you. These vibrators do all the work for you, so if you want quick or multiple orgasms, this type of sex toy is your best bet.

CLITORAL PUMPS:
Clitoral Pumps add just a bit of extra stimulation. They work by pumping up the clitoral area and help to fill it with blood. If you’re experiencing difficulty to reach climax, a pump might be your answer. This toy makes the clitoris sensitive and responsive to anything and everything! And, pumps can be found with a vibrating function.

Definitely, all of these toys have a place in the line of pleasure. Here’s a few techniques and advice to enhance their abilities. Always take your time, go slow, enjoy the ride, and build-up to the big moment. Use your fingers to get yourself aroused.

Toys, like bullets or vibrators, to heighten stimulation, and help you reach climax. If you want to experience sexual frenzy, use the toy to stimulate your clitoris, bringing your body just to the brink of orgasm – then STOP. Your body will scream for more! Now, touch your excited clitoris with the toy, and be prepared to have an explosive orgasm. You’re sensitivity level will be off the chart, and most likely, you’ll be able to have multiple orgasms!

But, why stop now? Becoming multi-orgasmic can be the ultimate experience, and a gift to you and your lover. Masturbating with a toy for the second, third, and fourth rounds easily turns this goal into a reality. You’ll never be satisfied with just one orgasm again!

It’s important to remember to use sex toys as an enhancement; they are not a replacement for self-touch. Once you’ve learned how to successfully give yourself an orgasm, time and time again, you can try new techniques and toys. But, the key is to go slow, arouse yourself, and thoroughly enjoy the experience. If you choose, you might want to share your toys and techniques with your lover, and enjoy your new-found freedom and exquisite treats, together!

ENCOURAGEMENT
Information within this article explores different ideals and concepts, and provides basic masturbation techniques. Self-touch and pleasure is a personal thing, and if you have developed ways that work for you, good – GO FOR IT!

If you have and use toys, that’s great! Just remember to use your fingers for a slow build-up before playing with your toys. Sex toys are wonderful enhancements for any sex life – solo or with a partner. Don’t be intimidated, find something and give that will give you the gift of pleasure. Whether you’re alone or with a partner, masturbation is essential to have healthy and satisfying sex. This article is meant to provide basic tips and techniques for self pleasure. Masturbation is a personal experience, so do what you like and thoroughly enjoy!

Sexual health is as important as the physical health. Sometimes boredom sets in and you need to find newer ways at creating the sexual attraction.

New ways at sexual experience

1. Use props. Props tend to bring novelty to sex. You should consider them especially if your partner enjoys using them when he or she is masturbating. There are different props which could be from the dildos to vibrators and massaging creams. Props go well with role plays.

2. Try different places. A place change could be handy. Just a simple change of place can trigger senses of uniqueness. You would not just enjoy it but also have a completely unique experience which you can remember for the rest of your life. It is something like you trying to remember your couch at home and the green park. You would definitely go for the green park. All the excitement of getting caught and thought of being one with nature.

3. Surprise each other. Try to take her out to a romantic restaurant on a hill station. Go for a surprise vacation over the weekend. Get some props for her if she loves it. Anything that has a feel of bringing novelty should be your target. If you shaved your genitals for her, say that cosily to her. It might be a gesture she was longing for.

4. Explore each other. Erogenous parts need stimulation before you are satisfied. Know the exact spots like the back of the neck, opposite side of the juncture of knee cap and even the arm pit for that matter.

How many out there have thought of going into an “adult” shop but have never done so out of embarrassment? “What if someone recognizes me?” is a popular excuse or maybe you feel they are “dirty” places where perverts go to get their jollies. So what if someone recognizes you. Throw it right at them before they can say anything or look at you in anyway. Say, “Yeah I was just in this sex shop here and boy do they have a good selection of butt plugs. I would have bought some only I already had this enormous vibrator and these crotchless panties.” Sex is nothing to be embarrassed about, sex is fun, and you’re supposed to have fun with it. If fun for you means body chocolate and leather chaps then you go for it, go all out for it.

As for those who feel that sex shops are dirty and the realm of perverts, there’s a whole new genre of sex shops out there catering for more sensitive, selective and aesthetically picky women. Oh yes, women. Women are taking charge of their own sexuality, this means more than women leading sexually risky lives and it means more than women taking more initiative within their sex lives as a couple. It means that they are taking control back of their sexuality completely. Sex toys allow women to take control of their own pleasure. They decide which toy, where, when and how long. They decide whether or not to include their partners if they have one. And they can decide how much to include their partners.

One advantage of sex toys that you may not think of, other than all of the obvious ones, is that they can increase communication in your relationship. They are a good way of demonstrating how you want things done, and of showing the results of having it done properly. They open up the communication lines regarding sex and once you can talk freely about sex, really what can you not talk about? Virtually nothing is taboo. Your relationship becomes more open and honest and benefits all around. And you have all the fun in the world at the same time.

Another quite popular thing at the moment, and something that a lot of women are far more comfortable with rather than actually going into a sex shop, is Pleasure-Ware Parties. Think Tupperware parties but with dildos and lubricant instead of tubs and lids. These are organised by one adventurous/curious woman who invites as many friends as possible (15 is usually a good number) and they all get together one night for a good giggle and some elucidation. The friends need not all be women, couples are more than welcome but most parties are usually women only because that’s how women feel most comfortable. It’s when they feel freest to touch and examine the products to their hearts content and also, to ask the boldest, most direct questions. When hosting a Pleasure-Ware party it is important to let people know what to expect, the party must be consensual for all concerned. A large table is needed to display all of the products. Alternatively you need a lot of putting place. There are a lot of products that need to be displayed.

Some recurring questions, usually to do with vibrators, are regarding size and design. The key recommendations here are start small and start simple and when you are used to these, move up. If you have a boyfriend/husband you may use him as a size reference. It is also recommended that you always use lubricant; it makes everything easier and more fun all round. Do not forget to clean your toys after use. This is very important. It is important because it is basic hygiene and we all love hygiene, and it is important because cleaning your toys will help them to last longer.

After all the giggling and laughing and examining and questioning and explaining have been done, there is an opportunity for everyone who is interested to place orders for their favoured items.

The world of sex is far more mainstream now than it has ever been before. It is now welcomed into the living rooms of housewives and business executives with ease and anticipation. If it can be so easily welcomed into our homes, surely it is no stretch for us to be able to walk towards it and enter sex shops with equal equanimity? Embrace the true sexual revolution. Do not be embarrassed about the leather harness or edible undies that you buy. People envy those who are sexually free. Its time you took those steps and liberated yourself.
