Does waiting “til death do us part” give us a better experience in the sack?

In the historically thorny debate over abstinence, the conversation typically steers toward religion. While I’d love to indulge, I’m pretty sure the contents of my nightstand drawer have disqualified me from any serious discourse on moral piety, so we’ll have to improvise.

The revised Hannah-debate: Does waiting “til death do us part” give us a better experience in the sack? Since Think-Tankers squeezed by barely decided (only 57% of you shook your heads: No), I’ve decided to give both sides a fair shake.

First, I must explore the theory that teenage girls have mulled over since the beginning of slumber parties: Your first time bites—no matter when it happens. You’re confused (and usually he is too), you typically experience some level of pain or discomfort, your bed sheets get stained (and not just with the stains of love), and you lay there, like a dead walrus, trying to remember what all those juicy Cosmo articles said you were supposed to do, while he does…his thing.

Sleeping with your ex may be hazardous to your heart

Dear Dr. Sex, a recent run-in with The Ex put me on an emotional roller coaster ride. It brought back all those memories…how good things had been, how good he still looked, and how in love with him I still was. We ended up getting close; so close we almost had sex. But, should you have sex with your ex?

Oh, the situations we humans put ourselves in as animals who love, who crave connection and intimacy, and who look at life through a filter of desire and lust. It is natural for your emotions towards an ex-lover to run deep; but, let me be clear my dear Hannah: sleeping with your ex may be hazardous to your heart.

Running into your ex may have brought back all those mushy feelings of love, but remember the obsessive daydreaming, anxiety, second-guessing, empty feelings, depression, and your stomach in knots when you first broke up? You probably didn’t when that elevator jammed and The Ex took his shirt off—because your heart began to battle with your mind (and genitals) for dominance.

Going from mono to multiple with your orgasms

Dear Dr. Sex, what’s the deal with multiple orgasms? Are they really possible for women and men? If so, how? And are they worth it?

Dear Hannah, that’s quite the loaded question, and the short answer is: read and learn, and yes.

Multiple orgasms (or serial orgasms), are a series of orgasms experienced in one sexual encounter. The folks in the Far East have known about this for centuries, and luckily, it’s made its way to LA. Now let me teach you a little about this ancient art of lovemaking that the Taoists and your sexually adventurous BFF Jack enjoy.

For men, we’re at a slight disadvantage because we have this pesky arousal stage called resolution, which is a guy’s refractory period after ejaculation (women often refer to this as snoring). But, men can work around the refractory period by learning to separate orgasm from ejaculation. There is a difference, and if you become skilled at recognizing it, you too will be able to strap yourself in for a wild series of orgasms, ending with one great big ejaculation—yeehaw!…
