The First Time

Let’s Talk! The first time was supposed to be magical, just like in the movies and romance novels. The man barely touched her, and both were already moaning with pleasure. A few pelvis thrusts later (in the missionary position!), and they came exactly at the same time.  Actual fireworks could be heard in the background. […]

A Touchy Testicular Problem

Let’s Talk! It’s a topic that makes most men reach down with protective hands to cover their private parts.
