If you are looking for open relationship advice, you’re in the right place. We will go through everything you need to know about it and what challenges you and your partner may encounter.

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 …

Whether you are in a lesbian or gay relationship, there are numerous ways to make it stronger. Here, we will go through the easiest ways to strengthen your relationship and make everything more enjoyable for you and your partner.

Being in a relationship should be pleasurable, beautiful, and full of love. So, take your time, and start building something incredible with your partner.

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.

Of course, we don’t say that it won’t be challenging. It is not a secret that society often deems gay relationships different, even …

Going on a date can seem scary, but there are a couple of things you might do to ensure that you and your partner have an incredible time. Of course, these aren’t set in stone. Each person is different, and you should do what you and your date find pleasurable and fun.

Date Location

One of the first things you need to do is plan a location for your date. Based on your personal preferences and what you know about your date, you should have at least some ideas. While it is possible that the other person would suggest something as well, it doesn’t hurt to be prepared and plan a few locations.

That doesn’t have to be anything fancy, and you should focus on a place where both you and your partner would feel comfortable. While the first impression is essential, you don’t need to go somewhere extreme and …

Finding a perfect partner can be difficult sometimes. However, what happens when you stumble on them in one of your favorite LGBT places? Suddenly, the fireworks go off in your stomach. That’s the feeling we all know and love.

Once you get into a relationship, there are certain stages you have to go through to ensure that your relationship is healthy. Check out which stage you might be in right now.

The Beginning

Welcome to the beginning stages of your new healthy relationship! There are many things that are a part of this stage, and we’re sure you’re already familiar with some of them. If not, have no fear. We’re here to tell you all about it.

What does a beginning stage mean? Everything is perfect! You’re going on a lot of dates, and there’s a lot of romance involved. You know — rose petals on the bed, fancy dates, …

Did you know that anal hooks were invented in Neverland? Apparently, there was a battle between Peter Pan and Captain Hook. Peter yelled out, “You won’t get away with this, Captain Hook!” To that, the captain responded, “Oh, yes, I absolutely w— Wait, did you just call me Captain Hook? Because of the hand?! Wow! I mean, my mom has passed away too, why don’t you call me Captain Dead Mom as well?” To save Peter from appearing insensitive, Tinker Bell conjured an anal hook. That, to be honest, backfired and sparked an entirely different, yet equally awkward conversation.

It’s been years since this (may or may not have) happened, and today anal hooks are used all over the world, not just Neverland. Once you look up an anal hook and see what it looks like, it’ll be clear to you why we call it like that and what it’s …

People have been into temperature play for ages. While more extreme temperatures are common in BDSM, you can find elements of this sex play anywhere. To make everything even more exciting, you can add toys to ensure that you have an unforgettable night. 

We will cover here everything you need to know about temperature play, how to do it, and if there is something you need to be careful about. 

What Is Temperature Play

Temperature play is a form of BDSM in which a person uses heat or cold to stimulate neuroreceptors in the body. That can increase skin sensation and can be quite thrilling if you are into it. You have probably seen in movies how couples use ice or hot wax during foreplay, and that is exactly what temperature play is. Or at least a part of it. You can also use various toys for temperature play, and …

There are some goals that people in same-sex relationships or marriages should consider. Some of them may be trivial, while others are quite serious.

One, in particular, requires you to start working on it early. Luckily, we have all the information you need right here.

Save for Retirement

One of the main things you should be thinking about in your gay relationship is retirement. This applies to any other relationship too!

Now, we know you might think you’re too young to think about retiring. However, trust us when we say that the sooner you start thinking about it, the less of a headache it will cause you. Not everyone wants to work a miserable job for decades until they retire.

That’s why you have to start thinking, planning, investing, and saving early. Your retirement might be decades away, but that doesn’t matter. The sooner you start investing in it, the …

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 …
