Take Control: Bondage

“Bondage is one of the most common sexual fantasies for women and men alike.” Betony Vernon. Bondage allows the heart rate to increase and the blood to flow through the body causing the skin to be hypersensitive. To introduce bondage play into the bedroom, bind your partner’s hands together, or fasten them to a bed frame. Build the anticipation by teasing and tantalizing with anything from a feather to a whip. Take complete control and revel in your power, the rest is up to you.

Vibrators and Contraception For Plants

Plants are living, breathing and reproductive organisms that apparently can also benefit from vibrations! A team of designers and scientists at PSX consultancy, short for Plant Sex Consultancy has designed sex toys for plants in order to enhance their reproductive processes and protect them against STDs! 

A study published just last week in the Journal of Sexual Medicine, surveyed about 1,500 adults on their sexual fantasies. The study has received tons of mainstream press, because the reality is, we all have sexual fantasies. With the recent Fifty Shades of Grey ‘craze’ many of us assume that fantasies look like whips, handcuffs and ‘sex rooms, however, this study found that the top sexual fantasies are actually not as scandalous as some may think. Out of the 1,500 adult men and women who were surveyed 92.2% of women and 88.3% of men ranked “feeling romantic emotions during a sexual relationship,” as their number one sexual fantasy. 

 Here are the top 10 sexual fantasies for both men and women... 

 Victoria’s Secret’s ‘Perfect Body’ campaign has stirred much controversy and debate in recent press. The new campaign features an image of ten Victoria’s Secret models in lingerie with the words “The Perfect ‘Body’” inscribed across the models’ so-called “perfect” bodies.

The campaign has received quite a bit of backlash, and rightfully so, as it promotes unrealistic body expectations and beauty standards. The Underwear company Dear Kate responded to the advertisement by creating their own alternative to the Perfect Body ad, and asked people to tweet the hashtag #iamperfect to @VictoriasSecret in protest and to raise awareness about the controversial advertisement. As the Dear Kate website reads, “As if women need a reminder of our society’s homogenous definition of beauty, the ad features ten models with almost identical body shapes. The creators of the ad probably didn’t think twice about the message it is sending, and to us, it’s irresponsible marketing.” Although Victoria’s Secret has yet to respond the Dear Kate, more than 16,000 people have signed a U.K petition asking Victoria’s Secret to apologize for an “irresponsible,” “body-shaming’ ad.
