What You Need to Know About Bralessness, Cuddling and Consent
No, not all at the same time, necessarily. But I had the pleasure of exploring all three of these wonderful topics with Jean Franzblau on Girl Boner® Radio this week and loved what she had to say. Now a sex-positive and consent-positive speaker and founder of Cuddle Sanctuary, where she facilitates platonic cuddle events and teaches […]

Dating, Style and Sex Resolutions: Empowering Aims for 2018
Hi loves! I hope you’ve had beautiful holidays, no matter how you’ve spent them. I’m on my way back from Minne-snow-ta, where freezing fun was had by all. ;) As we head into 2018, I thought I’d share quotes from my latest Girl Boner Radio guests, Erin Tillman and Rayne Parvis, and Girl Boner’s resident sex and relationship […]

Angels Are Intersex: Healing from Addiction and Finding Self-Love
Imagine being told during childhood that your ovaries had to be removed or you’d develop cancer and die—only to learn in adulthood that was a lie, that many things you’d been told about your body were false and that the surgery you’d had wasn’t even necessary. Last week I had the pleasure of interviewing Seven, a survivor turned thriver who […]

When Smaller is Better: Small Penis Pageants and Fetishes
“Does size matter” is probably the most common penis-related question of all time. We’ve discussed it numerous times here in Girl Boner land before, but until recently, we hadn’t delved into the opposite: when smaller is definitely better. Recently a man who goes by the name Rip Van Dinkle reached out to me, offering to speak to his experience as […]

What to do When Stressful Emotions Interfere with Your Life and Relationships
Did you know that “stressed” is “desserts” spelled backwards? Sort of makes sense, seeing as it’s the opposite of sweet. But that doesn’t mean stress can’t lead to benefits, or at least become a lot more manageable. No life or relationship is devoid of stress—which isn’t a bad thing. Difficult emotions and experiences can strengthen us, […]

Does Your Brain Have to Settle Down for Orgasm?
According to a new study, no. And that’s an awesome thing! Last week I interviewed one of the fabulous researchers behind the study, Nan Wise, PhD, on Girl Boner Radio. I loved what the sex therapist, cognitive neuroscientist and certified relationship specialist had to say—not only about orgasm and the brain, but the importance of cultivating […]

Boners: 5 Spectacular Things You Should Know
Boners. Who knew they’d become a focal point of my life? I launched Girl Boner® on my blog five years ago this week and thought I’d celebrate with some fun boner facts, because why not? Most everyone who gets sexually aroused experiences them. “Do girls get boners?” I hear this question a lot. The answer […]

Orgasm Problems: What You Need to Know
The word orgasm derives from the Greek orgasmos, which means excitement or swelling—but when orgasms are MIA, your sense of frustration could do most of the “swelling.” I recently sat down with Shadeen Francis, MFT in the Girl Boner® Radio studio. The marriage and family therapist, professor and author shared such gorgeous insight on common crises among […]

Sex and IVF: Strengthening Intimacy During and After Infertility Treatment
Simone Tai was working as a TV producer in London when she crossed paths with her now husband, Sean. “We met at a work Christmas party, so cliche,” she said with a laugh during our Girl Boner Radio chat. “Once we really got to know each other, that was like, wow. It was sparks flying.” Meeting […]
