Even though open relationships sound fun, there are a couple of things you need to understand if you want to enjoy yourself and have a great time.

Open Relationship

Open relationships, otherwise known as non-exclusive, are types of relationships that are based on intimacy but are not monogamous. This means that the couple is together, but there is a possibility that they will share intimate moments with other people as well. Unlike a polygamous relationship or polyamory, the primary focus is on intimacy, and the couple is not required to engage with other people — they can if they feel like it.

This type of relationship can include anything from marriage to dating. It is a contrast …

What Is Lesbian Sex?

Before we get into details about techniques, tips, and tricks, we should address the most obvious question — what is lesbian sex? The first problem we might encounter here is that most people think that this simply means two women having sex.

However, the situation is a bit more complex. Let’s start from the beginning. The term cisgender is used to describe a person whose gender identity is in line with the sex assigned to them at birth. In our case, a ciswoman is a person who was assigned to be a woman at birth, and they also …

Some Financial Advice for LGBT Couples

At first glance, it seems superfluous to have financial advisors for LGBT couples. What does sexuality have to do with any of it? Why would straight-couple budget control be different to how gays handle their finances? Well, you may say they aren’t, but the reality is that most same-sex couples face more obstacles than straight couples.

In 2015, same-sex marriage became legal in the United States. Before that, LGBT couples couldn’t be legally recognized as a couple, and they simply didn’t have a financial plan of their own. In 2016, a year after the legalization, a survey showed that LBGT couples had fewer retirement and savings plans. Additionally, they usually didn’t have a will or estate plans, nor any form of life insurance. Well, it’s time we changed that. Let’s take a look at some money tips for gay couples!

All Married Couples Should

It’s become common knowledge that same-sex marriage was legalized in 2015. However, you may not be familiar with the full details of how this decision came to be. The struggle for marriage equality was a long, controversial, and even scandalous process. It lasted for many decades, and it has become a major part of U.S. history. Keep reading for a full breakdown of the legalization of same-sex marriage in the U.S. and explore the timeline of the most important laws and events. 

The 2015 Decision 

Same-sex marriage has been legal in the United States. for quite some time now after the Obergefell v. Hodges case in 2015. This civil rights case ended with a decision by the United States Supreme Court to make all same-sex marriages legal in all U.S. states. What’s more, same-sex couples gained the same rights, responsibilities, and federal benefits as opposite-sex couples. 

Essentially, the Supreme Court …

We all like to preach that love is love and that all relationships should be the same. But that’s not exactly the case, is it? Alright, alright, don’t get your panties in a bunch! We didn’t mean it like that! All relationships are equally worthy (or should be) in the eyes of the law, and love really is love. The Supreme Court says so, and we wholeheartedly agree! 

But the fact remains that the dynamic of same-sex relationships is quite different than the one the majority of straight couples have.

Some of the differences are easy to explain. When no societal stereotypes are pressuring either of the partners, the way the couple goes about their daily life changes. Some traditionalists (and bigots) can’t seem to grasp this concept. 

Stereotypes, gender-specific (and oppressive) roles, and other nonsense that straight couples have to deal with aren’t exactly the main issue in same-sex …

Data collected from 28,000 adults between 1989 and 2014 found that more and more Americans answered “yes” to this question. In fact, in the early 2000s, twice as many U.S. adults reported having had at least one same-sex partner in their lifetime as compared to the early 1990s. (The study, which I co-authored with Ryne Sherman and Brooke Wells, was published today in the journal Archives of Sexual Behavior.) The percentage of men who had had sex with at least one man rose from 4.5% to 8.2%, and the percentage of women who had sex with at least one woman went from 3.6% to 8.7%.

Almost all of this increase is due to more people having sexual partners of both genders—bisexual behavior. People generally felt freer to have sex with both men and women if they chose. Acceptance of same-sex sexuality also shot up, with 49% saying it …

Finding a latex dress for women is not hard, which is a blessing since it can do wonders for your sex life. Here is everything you need to know about roleplay and how latex can make it even better. 

Everything about the roleplay kink

Roleplaying is one of the most popular ways to spice things up in the bedroom. The idea behind the roleplay is quite simple. A couple will imagine a story or scenario, and they will pretend like they were in that situation. 

The very nature of roleplay means that there will be infinite options. It is the simplest way to fulfill one’s fantasies and try out something new and different. Unlike regular roleplay, the focus here is on naughty things. Someone might be into uniforms, being told what to do, or just want to explore different kinks. And roleplay is a great answer. 

Over the years, latex …

Leaving the closet can be challenging, and it’s not easy for anyone. People are afraid of what their loved ones might think and whether they will accept them for who they are. However, what happens if you have already made this important step, but your partner hasn’t? Is there a way to go around this, and how can you deal with dating someone in the closet?

The Problem

Being in a relationship isn’t easy. Things can get even more difficult for people who are still in the closet. There is a chance that you are in a relationship with someone who still wants to keep everything a secret. Naturally, it is their secret to share, and they should do it when they are ready and on their own terms.

We all know that when you love someone, you want to share it with the world and let everyone know. …

Many people believe that gay men are more likely to cheat. Is this true? Or is it just a myth people love to repeat? Let’s take a closer look at gay cheating and see whether long-term relationships are possible for gay couples.

Let’s Talk About Numbers

With all the problems non-heterosexual people are going through, it’s a common belief that everything becomes perfect once gay marriages are legalized. Everyone can get married and live happily ever after. However, LGBTQ+ people go through all the problems just like everyone else, and infidelity is something they struggle with as well.

The Health Equality and Rights Organization did some research, and they found out that 52% of gay and bisexual men had cheated on their partners. The study involved nearly 1,000 men. Interestingly, 45% of gay cheating boyfriends said they managed to keep it a secret. Of course, we can’t determine whether their …

The Guys You’ll Meet on Grindr

Grindr came out in 2009, long before many of its users. It was supposed to be Tinder for gay men. And that’s exactly what it is, with members using the dating app to hook up with guys nearby. Basically, as Billy Eichner put it, Tinder is a lot of straight people pretending it’s for dating, but really using it for sex. On the other hand, Grindr is for gay guys who are not pretending it’s for anything other than meeting up and having sex.

Grindr devs may have initially envisioned they would facilitate meetups within the gay community where guys from different walks of life would get together for a picnic and romantic strolls. However, Grindr has turned out to be a different kind of app. You’ll be hard-pressed to point at someone who could proudly say: “I met my partner on Grindr.” That …

Traditionally, in opposite-sex marriages, women took on the last names of their husbands. This practice is common in most countries, including the U.S. However, times have changed, and this situation can be a bit complicated for same-sex couples. So how do same-sex couples change surnames, and is the process any different compared to opposite-sex marriages? Have a look below to find out! 

Why Is It a Big Deal? 

Newlyweds always get confronted with the question of last names. In heterosexual relationships, the decision for a woman to change her surname often revolves around ideology. However, many say that LGBTQ couples who marry have to consider lengthy family nomenclature, as well as a lack of tradition. The matter can be quite complicated to some couples, especially if they’re not familiar with marriage laws or if they’re not set on their decision. 

Of course, same-sex marriages have been fully legal in …

View Your Relationship Just Like a Straight-Relationship

One of the first mistakes gay couples make is to think that they have an unusual relationship. But in reality, they don’t. Each relationship is about people who are into each other and feel a certain level of trust and commitment. Heterosexual couples are no different than gay and lesbian couples, and you should always remember that.
