Hard Truths.

Cold hard truth time: our moms were right. Sex is better when it’s with a person you know and trust. Slow sex with a stranger? Can you imagine how awkward that would be? But staring into the eyes of the person you’re fucking can be the most intense experience. The orgasm is stronger, the toe-curling pleasure immeasurable.

Now maybe that’s not what our moms meant when they said to wait to have sex, but I’m here to tell you, you should wait to have sex with someone you know, because it’s better.

And I don’t mean that having sex with the same person repeatedly will get you there. It’s the intimacy that comes from actually opening up to them. Sharing your secrets. One of the best things my new guy has done was ask me to tell him exactly what I’m thinking. I’ve never been the kind to sugarcoat my thoughts, but this goes beyond being blunt. This is being honest for the sake of being honest. There’s no guesswork. It’s been eye- opening. I dare you to try it. Tell the person you’re dating the complete truth and watch how amazing your sex life becomes.
