Naughty Ways to Expand Your Sexual Knowledge
September is Sexual Health Awareness Month and we love the idea of spending this month tapping into that "back to school" feeling by studying up on anything that can expand your knowledge and improve your sexual health & experiences.
If you received any sort of education around sexual health growing up, it was likely focused on preventing negative health outcomes like sexually transmitted diseases or unintended pregnancy. But sexual health encompasses much more than avoiding sexually transmitted infections or unplanned pregnancies.
Sexual health is the ability to embrace and enjoy our sexuality throughout our lives! It is an important part of our physical and emotional health. We are fortunate to have so much information at our fingertips,
In the lifestyle, it's important that we educate ourselves on a spectrum of subjects, from mental health practices that will teach us how to navigate ourselves throughout the lifestyle, to perhaps BDSM, fetish, and role-playing techniques, to the latest health and fitness resources to keep our bodies healthy and safe, or even ways to create better connections with our partner(s) to strengthen our relationships.
Here are some of our favorite sexual health resources:
