Sex Advice

Sex advice that’s practical, pleasure-focused and grounded in real life.

Welcome to my Sex Advice hub. This is where I keep my most useful guidance on intimacy, confidence, communication, boundaries and desire, alongside kink-aware advice that’s consent-forward and emotionally safe. If you’re here because you want better sex, less confusion, more connection, or simply a clearer understanding of what you like, you’re in the right place.

A lot of sex advice online is either painfully vague or wildly unrealistic. I write about sex as it actually happens in real bodies and real relationships, with real-life factors like stress, hormones, disability, ageing, parenting, trauma history and fluctuating libido in the mix. The goal isn’t perfection. It’s more ease, more confidence, and more pleasure on your terms.

What You’ll Find In My Sex Advice Posts

This category pulls together articles and guides across a wide range of sex and relationship topics, including:

  • Intimacy and connection in long-term relationships, plus practical relationship advice
  • Sex tips that focus on comfort, pleasure and confidence, not performance, including my main sex tips archive
  • Solo pleasure, self-discovery and confidence building via my masturbation guides
  • Real-world guidance on exploring toys, sensation and variety in my sex toy advice posts and sex toy guides, including practical deep dives like my G-spot toys guide
  • Kink-aware discussions, from curiosity to confident play, in my kinky sex advice section

  • Chastity-focused guidance for those who are exploring control, anticipation and power dynamics in my chastity advice posts

Why Read My Sex Advice

I’ve been writing about sex, relationships and pleasure for years, and I keep my approach grounded and human. I’m not here to sell you a perfect version of sexuality. I’m here to help you make sense of what you want, what you feel, and what actually works in your life. You’ll see a mix of practical tips, honest reflections, and the kind of nuance that gets lost when people pretend sex is simple.

If you prefer your learning with a side of storytelling, you might also like my sexy stories and kinky sexy stories, where desire and intimacy get explored in a more imaginative way.

Bondage Hogties Guide: How and Why to Hogtie Safely

The favourite bondage hogtie piece I have in my own collection is the Shots Media Ouch! Wrist and Legcuffs Restraints, which isn't readily available in the UK any more but you can take a look at my review here. There are definitely other, good quality bondage hogties you can purchase to give you the session you desire, however.

Sex and Disability: Intimacy, Desire, and Pleasure When Bodies Have Limits

This piece was written by a previous version of me, one who had higher libido, non-progressive deafness, and who didn’t yet know what it was like to live with chronic illness. It was before I moved into perimenopause, before I suddenly developed M.E. What follows is my early exploration into sex and disability, motivated by kindness and curiosity and a desire to create a place which resonates with anyone affected. I now count myself among that number.

Anal Sex Toys Guide: Finding The Best Butt Plug For You

Bums. Everyone has one, and very useful they are too. Our undervalued derrières not only house the exit which keeps our bodies functioning healthily, but offer comfortable padding when we need to take the weight off our feet. Did you realise that your bottom also has the potential to give you incredible pleasure, as well as a mere sigh of relief any time you sit down?

Sex and Religion Kink: Why Religious Taboo and Perversion Turns Us On

Plenty of kinky people, particularly those who grew up inside religious frameworks that treated their bodies as suspect, find enormous erotic charge in the symbols, roles and taboos those systems taught them to revere. Corrupt the incorruptible, defile the sacred, turn the confessional into a scene: this is well-worn territory. It's also territory that gets more attention twice a year, around Easter and Christmas, when the calendar itself pushes religious imagery into the foreground and the transgression of using it sexually feels a bit sharper than usual.

No Limits’ Slaves in BDSM: Do Zero Limits Submissives Exist?

If you're drawn to the "no limits" fantasy in yourself, ask what specifically you're trying to get out of it. Sometimes the answer is that you want to feel deeply submissive and don't yet have the vocabulary for it, which is a solvable problem. Sometimes the answer is that you want to stop having to make decisions, which is a different problem and one no scene will fix. Sometimes it's that you want the drama of being seen as extreme, which is worth interrogating on its own before you put it in front of another person.

Dommes and Blowjobs: Why Some Dominant Women Love To Suck Cock

If he starts thanking you profusely, or bucking his hips, or in any way behaving as though he's been handed a treat, that's your cue to stop, reframe, and possibly punish. The point Zak makes about withdrawing your lips seconds before he comes is the sharp end of this. Edging as a Dominant act works because the sub cannot request it, cannot control it, and cannot predict when the next chance arrives, if it arrives at all.

Total Power Exchange in BDSM: What TPE Really Means

In this guide to Total Power Exchange in BDSM, I explore what TPE really means beyond the fantasy image. From my own perspective as a Domme, it’s about more than scenes or sessions - it’s the reality of living in a relationship where control, obedience, and power are fully surrendered.

Sploshing: Exploring the Wet and Messy Fetish

Sploshing. Say sploshing to most people on the street and they won’t know what you’re on about (they'll also give you a wide berth for randomly talking in their face). Sploshing in puddles? Get your wellies on and go for a run through the muddy woods after a good downpour? Erm, nope.

What Is Urethral Sounding? Guide to Penis Sounds

Once you're ready, lube up the sound (and the end of your penis) and slowly slide the tip in. Once in, keep hold of both the sound and your penis, then slowly allow gravity to pull the sound deeper. Once you're at the base of the penis, stop for a moment and slowly pull the sound out, ever so gently. This is approximately where the best sensations are to be found.

Hot Kissing Tips: How To Be A Fantastic Kisser

Kissing tips: Kissing is often a forgotten or at least neglected area of our love lives. Whether you’re in a relationship or a sassy single with a satisfying sex life, kissing adds a uniquely passionate element to sex and lovemaking.

Is Pubic Hair Sexy?

Why have we even got pubic hair in the first place? It’s a sign that we’ve been through puberty and reached adulthood, true; but for those who choose to remove any trace of pubic hair from their body it can be an endless source of frustration...

Rapeplay Fantasies: Understanding Consensual Non-Consent Kink

It’s come to my attention recently that certain folks are against people having their fantasies and acting them out, consensually, with their adult partner(s). Rape fantasy, to be specific. Now, I’ve taken this a little bit personally, as rape fantasy is a very important part of my sex life - a very enjoyable part of my fantasy and real life.

BDSM Wax Play Guide: How to Enjoy Candle Dripping Safely

BDSM wax play is an immersive form of sensory play. It's also one of my favourite ways to explore the intricate balance between physical sensuality and psychological intrigue that makes kink popular. Using wax play candles in BDSM incites anticipation and all-encompassing arousal, evoking physical sensation, emotional trust, and mesmerising aesthetics all at once. The agonisingly slow drip of warm wax is about so much more than the flicker of heat as it splashes on to soft, receptive skin. 

Fucking Yourself With High Heels: Kink and Safety

Dear Cara, I have quite a worrying obsession with my girlfriend's shoes. She doesn't know, but every time she's out and I'm left in the house I have to fuck myself in the ass...

Can I Stop Being Kinky? Can You Ever Leave BDSM?

I honestly believe it's naive to think you can just switch off your kinkiness for all time. You may be leaving BDSM when it comes to the community, you can get rid of your implements and finish any D/s relationships, but being a kinkster is simply too much a part of a person's character. It's up to you if you decide to act on those kinky impulses in your life or not.
