Can Vibrators Stand in the Way of Your Girl Boner?

What To Do When Your Partner Needs Porn for Sex

I recently received a question I’ve heard various forms of many times since starting Girl Boner®: My boyfriend can’t seem to get or stay hard without watching porn, and gets defensive when we talk about it.

How to Feel Sexy in a Youth-Obsessed Culture

I dream of a society where increasing age isn’t a demeaning punchline. It boggles my mind, how often we hear statements like: “I’m revealing my age by saying this, but….” as though that’s a bad thing. “I can’t believe she’s wearing that, at her age,” as though aging removes permission to dress as we wish. “Beauty fades, but a good […]

Back-gasms: Why Do Some Women Orgasm on the Massage Table?

I have to admit: when a Girl Boner® listener wrote in about her tendency to orgasm during massages, I was a wee bit envious. (My last massage was more like being trampled on by apes…) I was also extremely grateful, because, like most Qs from listeners, Dalia’s raises important points about arousal and pleasure, while […]

3 Common Myths About Ethical Non-Monogamy

There was a time in the U.S. when monogamy strictly meant staying with one person for life. Couples were expected to fulfill each other’s every need, including sexual, until death they parted. Now the concept varies. One couple’s idea of exclusivity can seem “monogamish” to another, depending on what freedoms you allow or embrace outside of the relationship. What if no matter […]

Passionate Monogamy: It’s Not an Oxymoron

Ever notice that the words monogamy and monotony are close to identical? No, that wasn’t the start of a joke, though it sure sounds like one!

Can Ouija Boards Be Used for Good?

One of my most vivid childhood memories is hearing about my grandmother’s experience with a Ouija Board. While attending boarding school in India, the story goes, one of her classmates set a board on a table in the cafeteria. Seconds later, the table elevated and moved across the room. BWAH HA HA!!! To me, this ranked […]
