Another guest appearance to answer your anonymous questions on the blog!  This time, Sydney, Sense animator extraordinaire, gives you the low-down on squirting (a.k.a. “female ejaculation”)…

Q: how can my man make me squirt?

First off, not all vag’s squirt. As a matter of fact, most don’t, but a fair number do and it’s definitely worth a shot! Squirting, when it does happen, is all about stimulating the g-spot in a specific way. Keep in mind, though, that squirting is not the be-all and end-all of pleasure. Approaching it as a hurdle that needs to be overcome will also make it even more unlikely, since being comfortable and turned on is key to any sexual encounter.

So let’s get down to it. First stop - the bathroom. G-spot stimulation and orgasms can be kind of uncomfortable with a full bladder, and right before ejaculation you’ll almost always feel a like you have to pee, which is normal. Second - you may want to lay down a towel or plastic sheet. Some squirters will dribble out a couple of teaspoons of thin clear liquid. Some people will produce some major spray.

While some people might associate sex toys primarily with masturbation, rest assured that using them with partners can be just as awesome. Check out these videos for more info:

Sex toys are a lot of fun! They can be made of glass, plastic, rubber or silicone and are designed to bring people to orgasm, or enhance people’s experience of their bodies during sex. Some vibrate, some go inside the body, and some strap to your body (like strap-on dildos), etc.

Virginity sounds like a simple matter to a lot of people. It usually implies having never had penetrative sex, but it can get tricky quickly.

What if two guys have sex together for years but never do penetration, because that’s not their thing - are they virgins?

What if two women have sex together for years, never doing penetration - are they virgins? What if they start using sex toys for penetration?

What if a woman does penis-anus penetration with her partner, but no penis-vagina sex to protect her hymen, is she still a virgin?

Virginity is a label. You decide if it applies to you or not. What becomes an issue is when people are treated poorly because of their sexual experience, or lack of thereof. Or when people feel they’ve wasted something important if they end up having a mediocre first sexual experience (for whatever reason). There’s a good chance that your first time will be less than 0.1% of your sex life, yet people put so much emphasis on it. The first sexual experience that really matters is the first one you truly enjoy.

What matters is whether you are enjoying what you are doing with your partner or not, and whether you want to explore other aspects of your sexuality. People can judge you on what you have done or not, but that shouldn’t be.

Last week, I came across an article on Macleans.ca entitled “Good for Her, Great for the Planet” that talked about the greening of the sex-toy industry. Author, Anne Kingston, sheds light on the increasing demand for eco sex toys that are fair trade and/or safe for the body. Apparently, sex toys are less regulated than dog toys which is alarming when you start considering all of the carcinogenic chemicals such as phthalates that could come in close contact with very sensitive areas of the body. And, while the Canadian government has begun to regulate children’s toys, sex toys are still tucked away in many legislators’ drawers…

So, add a little anti-sweatshop politics into the mix and you have an emerging industry to save the day. For instance, Red Tent Sisters, a Toronto store committed to women’s sexual and reproductive health, recently launched ecosex.ca, selling a variety of different products like organic vegan lube and fancy dildos made from safe and sustainable materials like hardwood and bamboo. They even have vegan, fair-trade condoms…Point is, it doesn’t matter where you stand on the idea of fair-trade sourced, eco-sensitive products, just know that there exists safe, good sex out there for everyone!
