Getting sexually prepared for Mardi Gras

February 10, 2010 | Lucy Moore

As most of you are probably aware, the famed festival of booze, beads and boobs (otherwise known as “Mardi Gras”) is upon us.

Next to the Mint Tingle Trojans and Assorted Durex Pleasure Packs stood Lifestyles’ “Skyn” non-latex polyisoprene condoms and Naturalamb non-latex lambskin condoms.

Foot fetishes: Fun or freaky?

To queef or not to queef

October 21, 2009 | Lucy Moore

Vaginal flatulence, popularly known as “queefing,” is the phenomenon that occurs when excess air is pushed out through the vagina; it’s like a fart but without the expulsion of odorous gases. Queefing normally occurs during intercourse, as arousal causes a vagina to expand and the entrance of the penis causes air to be pushed inside. [...]
