Bikini Burger

Okay, I get the burger part, but... where does the 'bikini' part come from?

Kneel At The Altar

Ummm... how did this nickname happen? Is a vagina equivalent to an altar? Are they worshipping it? Okay, I can handle that.

Have A Box Lunch

Get it? Because box is another name for vagina. And you eat it. Get it?

Red Wings

This slang phrase refers to when a dude gives a girl oral sex when she has her period. He earns his red wings!

Cherry Flip

You might say "pop your cheery" in reference to losing your virginity, but for oral sex, you would say "cherry flip." Who knew cherries could have so many meanings?

Chickenhead

Okay, this doesn't refer to cunnilingus - it refers to giving a guy oral sex. Think about how a chicken moves it's head. Get it now?

Digging For Clams

Honestly, I hate when people call a vagina a clam. For some reason, it grosses me out. But if you're into it, here's this nickname!

Egg McMuff

What a dirty little play on the oh-so-popular Egg McMuffin. You'll never look at this breakfast sandwich the same way again.

Have A Furburger

Am I the only one who thinks of a moldy burger when they hear this phrase? I can't be, right?

Gorilla In The Washing Machine

Okay, this one just sounds horribly violent. Stop that!

Eating From The Honey Pot

Aw. Whoever made this one up must be trying to say that a vagina is pretty sweet to eat.

Eat A Peach

And the food references continue. Do you think I could write a list of slang words for oral sex and NOT include at least one peach one?

Source: ShutterStock

Ready Brek

I couldn't even think of a picture to use with this because I don't understand what this means. But according to Urban Dictionary, it means the way a vagina tastes. Okay...

Playing In The Sandbox

Um, ouch. This one sounds painful.

“I met this guy last March. We went out on a few dates and then had sex within a couple weeks of meeting. (I wasn’t looking for anything because I had just ended w someone). About 2 weeks later, I went home for summer break but we kept in contact.

When I got back, we still had sex but the dates stopped. I started to want more, but I never directly said it. I dropped hints saying things like, “lets go out some time.” Etc. He said ok, but we never did. We’d have sex & he’d leave right after he showered. One night he fell asleep & I woke up in the mid of the night & I guess maybe he thought I was gonna ask him to leave so he rushed out. I wasn’t though. I basically think he might be either a jerk or scared of rejection. I get the most mixed signals.

We were getting anywhere so I tried to end the friendship completely. But he kept contacting me so that failed. Then a few months ago I got into a relationship & I called it off. He texted me 3 weeks ago & I told him I just didn’t want to be friends anymore. But last night, he called me (which was a major shock to me. He only used to text me & that bothered me) & said he missed me, etc. It’s crazy because I’m single now & I was thinking about him the entire week before he called.”

So, what is it really like to lose your virginity? You probably shouldn’t expect a lovey-dovey, ooey-gooey romantic scene from a movie – instead, it might go something like this. Here’s what it’s like to have sex for the first time, as explained in GIFs:

You finally decide that you’re ready to “do it.”

You tell your boyfriend and he’s all:

You two try to figure out where you guys can do it without getting caught or in trouble.

Finally, you plan the perfect night to do it. 

Source: Tumblr

You start to get nervous… what is sex really like? Is it going to hurt?

Source: Tumblr

You look it up on the Internet. OH GOD NO. It seems terrifying. 

Source: Tumblr

So you ask a more experienced friend for help. 

Source: Tumblr

Nothing calms your nerves. Why is losing your virginity SUCH a big deal? 

Source: Tumblr

The night is here. You and your boyfriend try to act like it’s no big deal, but secretly, you’re both a little anxious.

Condoms are hard!

You guys start hooking up and things feel a little… awkward. 

Source: Tumblr

Okay, ouch! Seriously, OW! Is it always like this?!

What goes where? How does this work? What… what is happening?!

You can’t help wondering what you look like in this position.

Thankfully, things improve as it goes on.

Afterwards, you’re both a little speechless. You finally lost your virginity!

But… it wasn’t, like, movie romantic. It was just… nice. A little awkward, but nice.

You don’t even feel that different. Is there something wrong with you?

NOPE. Congrats! Cuddle time!

To say it was bizarre would be an understatement. And we really didn’t learn anything. After that, we didn’t have sex ed again. It was like one day. We learned some things in biology, but other than that, we were kind of on our own.

Basically this was my class. Source: weheartit

Fortunately, my best friend’s sister was way older than us so she was always there to tell us about sex growing up. And my mom is like the COOLEST so I was totally comfortable going to her if I had questions.

But I know not everyone is that lucky. I don’t know one person that had a useful sex ed class. Here are some things we wish we learned in sex ed!

Orgasms Don't Happen Every Time

Consider yourself lucky if you have an orgasm every time you have sex! Unlike guys, the female body is a lot more complicated. You might not have an orgasm at all during sex. And it might not always feel good. Sometimes it doesn't feel that great, which is sad but true.

Sex Can Change Things

Whether you want to believe it or not, sex does change relationships. It doesn't necessarily have to be a bad change, though. Sometimes sex brings couples closer and other times it pulls them apart.

Latex Allergies Are Real

You can be allergic to latex condoms! But that doesn't give you a free pass not to use them. There are alternatives to latex condoms like polyurethane.

Penises Are Weirder Than You Think

Yup, they totally are. I don't know how guys walk around with those all day. And they're all different. They come in all shapes, sizes and colors. Seriously.

Source: Shutterstock

Sex Doesn't Always Last That Long

Sex doesn't always last for like hours on end. If it did, you'd probably pass out. Sometimes sex can be really, really quick (like 2 minutes) and sometimes it can last a good while. It really depends.

Source: Shutterstock

You Don't Have To Have Sex To Go On The Pill

Yes, the pill prevents you from getting pregnant. But there are many reasons to get birth control like regulating your period, helping bad cramps or reducing PMS symptoms. I was on birth control for almost 3 years before I had sex.

UTIs And Yeast Infections Can Happen

Sex can cause more than STDs. Urinary tract infections and yeast infections both can be caused from having sex. UTIs can be very common when you're sexually active so the best way to avoid them is to pee before AND after having sex. While yeast infections aren't directly caused by sex, you can get them from having a lot of sex especially if your immune system is weak.

You're A Self-Lubricating Machine

You're not leaking or peeing your pants. That discharge you see every now and then is normal. Your vagina makes its own lube!

Source: Shutterstock

Sex Can Cause Swelling And Pain

If you have a lot of sex or really rough sex or if he's too big, you can get swollen down there. And it is not pleasant. You also might be sore for a bit after having sex. If it's really bad, sit on an ice pack. Trust me.

My friend was telling me a particularly detailed story about having sex in her parents’ kitchen. Ew, right? I’m super open about sex, but I was not high-fiving her on this one. I just think there are some places that shouldn’t involve people getting their freak on.

I started thinking about inappropriate places people have sex in and thought it’d be a good guideline just in case you’re getting a little too adventurous with your partner. Check out these places where you shouldn’t be getting busy!

Kitchens

Your parents' kitchen, your friend's kitchen, his parent's kitchen. Just no. Unless it's your own kitchen (still gross) just avoid it. I mean you cook and eat there! There doesn't need to be any special sauce added to your meal, okay?

At Your Place Of Work

Whether you're hooking up with someone you work with or your boo comes to visit you, do not get it on in the office or supply closet! This is a serious no-no.

A Populated Beach

Unless you're on a private beach, don't do it. Even on a private beach, don't do it. Sex on the beach is NOT as romantic as you think it is. I've done it. There's a lot of sand involved. It gets places.

Source: Shutterstock

Public Bathroom, Public Anywhere

First of all, bathroom sex is disgusting. Second, public bathroom sex is just rude. Public sex in general is rude. Sure, there's the "thrill factor" but really you're exposing other people to your sex life. Plus, is it really worth the risk of getting arrested for public indecency? No.

Movie Theaters

I have unfortunately witnessed a couple having sex in a movie theater. It was during Napoleon Dynamite. I didn't appreciate it. You can wait 2 hours to find somewhere to bone. And why would you pay for a ticket to watch a movie when you're not even going to pay attention?

Source: Shutterstock

Parks

I don't mean that secluded part of the park where no one will see you. But don't start hooking up on top of a picnic table or in an open area where there are probably a lot of families and children playing like five feet away.

Someone's Bedroom At A Party

You know in Mean Girls when those people are hooking up in Cady's room at her party? Don't be that couple. It is not your house. You do not have free reign to go hook up wherever you want.

Your Parents' Bedroom

YOUR PARENTS HAVE SEX HERE. No. Ew. Gross. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200. Don't do it.

Masturbating Can Ease Pain

Orgasms are actually a natural pain killer. Bringing yourself to orgasm can help relieve menstrual cramps and backaches from having your period. So the next time you're feeling the effects of PMS, try doing it solo for a little bit.

Kids Can - And Do - Masturbate

Masturbation isn't just for horny teens and adults - kids can also indulge in a little self-pleasure (which honestly sounds so weird I can't even believe I just wrote it). Apparently, even babies can learn that touching themselves down there can feel good. Although it may be uncomfortable to talk about, it's perfectly normal and healthy for kids of any age to explore.

Source: ShutterStock

Masturbation Can Keep You Healthy

Not only can the orgasms resulting from masturbation help get rid of pain, but masturbation itself can help keep you healthy. It can help build up a resistance to annoying yeast infections. Some research even says that orgasms can help to prevent endometriosis, which is a pretty serious disease of the uterine lining that can lead to infertility.

Source: ShutterStock

Single People Probably Masturbate Less Than People In Relationships

You might think that people who don't have sex on a regular basis masturbate the most - after all, that would make sense, right? But you would be wrong. People who have sex on the regular (generally people in relationships) masturbate more than those who aren't always hooking up (generally single people). This is because masturbation makes you more open to sex, which means you have more sex. Get it?

Source: ShutterStock

Masturbation Can Get Rid Of Insomnia

Having trouble sleeping? Try getting down and dirty with yourself. You'll feel sleepy after you masturbate because it relaxes you. Beat insomnia by masturbating! Doesn't sound too bad, right?

The Majority Of Masturbation Myths Aren't True...

There are a lot of masturbation myths out there and the majority of them are not true. You may have heard that masturbating can lead to blindness, infertility and a decrease in libido. You also may have heard that masturbating make it more difficult for women to get pregnant and guys to produce sperm. None of this stuff is true. Masturbation is great and it's good for you and it's not going to make you blind. That's just silly.

Source: ShutterStock

Masturbating Might Cause Yeast Infections

Remember how I said masturbation is healthy and can help you build up a resistance to yeast infections? That's all true, but research has also found that in some cases masturbation can actually cause yeast infections. This can happen if you use your saliva down there - like, if you lick your finger and then put it down there to create your own lube. The saliva messes with your bacteria down there and all that. If you need something extra, go buy some lube.

Women Can Orgasm Without Touching Themselves

Here is a seriously awesome fact about women: we can bring ourselves to orgasm without even touching ourselves! Basically this means that we can use "thought masturbation" (I just made this term up) and orgasm just from thinking about sexy stuff. Crazy, right? I think you would need to be thinking some pretty intense thoughts, but think of this as a huge advantage we have over dudes. Go us!

Source: ShutterStock

Masturbation Can Make Sex Even Better

Remember how I said there are a bunch of myths about masturbating that aren't true? One of those myths is that masturbating too much can ruin your sex life. That's actually completely false - masturbating frequently can help make your sex life better. That's because you learn exactly what you like and how to get yourself off. It also, like I said before, opens you up sexually. So go masturbate! Your partner will thank you.

Source: ShutterStock

Solo Sex Helps With Stress

And remember how I also said that masturbation helps you sleep better? That's because, like I already mentioned, it relaxes you. Therefore, masturbating can help relieve stress. So the next time you're cramming for a final and freaking out over your potential grade, take a break for some very special you time and prepare to relax and feel better.

Oral sex is great and can be a lot of fun, but there are a lot of things to keep in mind. I feel like no one really talks about oral that openly, but we should! There’s nothing to be ashamed of or embarrassed about.

Here’s hoping she got schooled on these myths about sex before getting busy! | Source: ShutterStock

There are a ton of myths about sex that you already know are bogus (like how masturbation would give you hairy palms or make you go blind), but there are a few more that a lot of girls and women actually are still baffled by. Sex expert Tracey Cox debunked a bunch of sex myths, and not gonna lie–some of them are still pretty popular. Especially the first one! Check these out and get schooled (and probably relieved) on the silly old wives’ tales that probably give us a lot more sexual anxiety than we need.

Myth About Sex: Guys are always ready and raring to go.
Not true! Once guys get a little older, other things inhibit their libidos, just like they affect ours–because even though men have different equipment down there, guess what? They’re people. They’re people with penises, but they’re people. If he’s tired, stressed out or just not in the mood (and believe it or not, the latter does happen), it’s just not going to happen.

Myth About Sex: Once he finishes, so do you–and so does your sex for the night.
Here’s the thing: This one may be true if you’re dating a selfish guy who probably isn’t good in the sack. Guys get smacked with a ton of sleep-inducing hormones after they have an orgasm or ejaculate, so he may well be really tired and not able to go again. Does that mean you have to go without an O yourself? Nope. If he finishes and you don’t, you have a few options: Move from intercourse to something else that doesn’t require quite as much energy for him (and frankly would probably work better for you anyway), or make sure you get yours first before he starts on his. If he’s worth sleeping with, chances are he won’t have a problem with this arrangement, because guess what? It means he’s still lucky enough to have sex with you.

Myth About Sex: If he asks to change it up, he’s not interested in you anymore.
Tracey Cox compared an appetite for sexual variety to an appetite for food: Would you be weirded out if he ate the same thing for lunch every day? Probably. Seriously: If he came over one day and was like, “Listen, I’ve had grilled cheese for lunch every day for the last three months. I think today I’m gonna spring for a burger.” You’d probably ask him why he didn’t do that, well, two months ago at least. It doesn’t mean he doesn’t like grilled cheese anymore. It just means he’s in the mood for something else. But there’s still bread involved in both grilled cheese and burgers, right? Just pretend you’re the carbs in this equation. He doesn’t like or love you any less. He just wants to do something different with you. It’s pretty flattering when you think about it–and chances are you’ll appreciate a switchup too, even if you’re reluctant at first to stray from the tried and true methods you’re used to.

Myth About Sex: Guys just know what you like down there.
No. No. No, they do not. Listen, we’re a lot more complicated down there than they are, and we take it for granted sometimes because we’re used to having a vagina. We see it every day. Chances are he doesn’t, so you need to direct them, sometimes with words, sometimes with your hands. If it feels awkward or uncomfortable to do that, chances are this isn’t a guy you should be having sex with in the first place. And honestly, if you’re not guiding him at all and expecting to read your mind? Chances are the only orgasms you have will be fake ones, and that just sucks–mostly for you, but also for him if he suspects it.

Myth About Sex: Sex isn’t a big deal to guys.
Again, wrong! People with penises are people. For a lot of guys, having sex is their way of saying, “Dude, I love you.” As gals, we’re born communicators and usually talk and express emotions more than guys do. For some guys who are more emotionally reserved, sex is the best tool they have to show you how much they adore you. And if the feeling is mutual and he takes direction well (see previous myth!), it’s not only a big deal–it’s a pretty sweet one.

There are a lot of ways to make guys like you: laugh at their jokes, flirt with them, be your awesome self and naturally attract a dude who’s right for you. And now with the results of a recent study, we can add one more thing onto the list… get a tattoo?

According to a new study, guys may be more attracted to girls who have tattoos. Or, at least, they find girls with tattoos to be more approachable than girls who don’t have tattoos. So could your tattoo snag you a date with the cutest guy in your school? Apparently, that’s a possibility.

Researchers did a few experiments to test out their theory. First, they found 11 college-age women who 31 guys had rated as attractive. They had those women go to a beach in France alone 20 times to lay on a towel in a red bikini. Half of the time, each woman wore a large temporary but realistic tattoo on their lower back. They found that men were more likely to approach and talk to the women when they had the tattoo on their back.

The second part of the experiment also involved a beach and women wearing temporary tattoos. While the women wearing red bikinis hung out on the beach, researchers approached 440 men in their early twenties to ask them three questions about a “random” woman on the beach (it was always the girl in the red bikini, FYI). Researchers asked the guys what they thought the likelihood was of the girl saying yes to a date with him and of having sex on the first date. They also asked the guys to rate the girl’s attractiveness. They discovered that the guys thought the women wearing tattoos were not only more likely to go out on a date with them, but also that they were more likely to have sex with him on the first date.

To sum it up quickly, these were the findings: men find women with tattoos more approachable and they also think women with tattoos are more likely to be open to going out on dates and have sex faster than women without tattoos.

I found these results pretty interesting, so I asked a few of my guy friends what they thought about girls with tattoos. While one dude said he didn’t think tattoos mattered, the rest made it clear that they thought girls with tattoos would be more, um, open to sexual experiences. 

But why?! I don’t understand how having a tattoo can lead a guy to make a snap judgement about a person’s personality. Does this maybe have anything to do with the tramp stamp attitude Caitlin wrote about last week? After all, the girls in this experiment did show off their tattoos on their lower backs.

Is this a reason to run out and get a tattoo yourself? Um, absolutely not. The only reason you should ever get a tattoo is because YOU want it, because tattoos are permanent. Also, do you really want a dude to ask you out just because he noticed your tattoo and thinks you’re more likely to sleep with him right away? Didn’t think so. 

In general, this study kind of annoyed me. I’m pretty sick of people making judgements about others just because of tattoos. I don’t have any myself, but I have friends who do and I see the way others react to their tats. It’s silly – tattoos can have deep, sentimental meaning (that doesn’t mean all of them do, but you get it). When a girl gets a tattoo, it shouldn’t be the equivalent of branding yourself with a sticker that says, “Hey, I’ll have sex with you!” You know what I mean?

Do you have tattoos? Do you notice that guys treat you differently than girls who don’t have tattoos? What do you think about this study? Tell me in the comments!

Can a tattoo be a form of domestic violence?

Plain old nutmeg is said to be an aphrodisiac! Who wants to bake? | Source: ShutterStock

Aphrodisiacs like Spanish Fly have been around forever, and their usefulness and safety have been hotly debated. But new studies say that you probably have a few aphrodisiacs in your own kitchen right this second. Which household grub is said to lead to better sex?

Dr. Oz, lover of all things holistic and horticultural, said a big one is nutmeg (The fun name doesn’t hurt, either). He claims that studies in India showed nutmeg was an aphrodisiac because when animals consumed it, their nervous system got a lot more active. As a result, these animals enjoyed quite a bit more sexual activity. Still, while nutmeg is delish and all–in moderation, anyway–it’s not really clear how or why this would work. Plus, he also didn’t specify what all that “sexual activity” was. What if it leads to sexual activity you aren’t that into? (Again, not sure how that would work either, but that’s the point–there are not many details here.)

Ginseng, another wonder herb, was said to be an aphrodisiac. A study said that menopausal women–as in, ladies a bit older than we are–were more turned on and aroused during sex when they consumed Korean red ginseng beforehand. We’ll have to wait a good 30-something years before we need to worry about this, but still good to know, right?

Another biggie? The maca root, which studies suggest can reduce anxiety. While that’s not necessarily a direct aphrodisiac, lessened anxiety can lead to more confidence–which we all know leads to better sex.

Other rumored aphrodisiacs include figs and oysters. Does this mean you need to run out and go grocery shopping to improve your sex life? Not necessarily, but it’s a pretty fun thing to think about if you ever volunteer to cook your guy dinner. As for me? I’m sort of a picky eater, so in terms of aphrodisiacs, I’ll probably stick with chocolate and Thor on mute.
