Is my new relationship a priority?

Dear Brent,

I met a guy online and we hit it off. The sex is OK, but what makes this relationship different and special to me is how much we have in common and enjoy each other’s

Ask the Sexpert: Do nipple piercings enhance or spoil sensation?

Dear Shanna,

If someone gets their nipples pierced, does that enhance the sensation in them, or does it make them feel numb? Does it change if the barbells are vertical or horizontal?

Ask the Sexpert: Why would lesbians watch gay porn?

Dear Shanna,

Is it typical for lesbians to not be turned on by watching lesbian sex, but instead by watching gay (male) porn?
