Q: So I'm in my mid twenties and I've started waking up mid orgasm every week for the past month or so. And I don't get it. I've never had this (I don't want to say issue cause it's kind of fun..) happen before. Not during puberty when that sort of thing is more common, so I'm curious as to why. Why do these things happen and what do you think could have changed that I'd start having them about a decade after puberty?

And it's important to remember that you don't need to go straight from no sex at all to full-on, totally-naked sex. If you don't feel confident while naked, there's nothing wrong with keeping on those clothes that make you feel badass. You might be surprised just how much can be accomplished while you're fully- or mostly-clothed, and it can help you to disassociate having sex from being naked (and thus from feeling unhappy and self-conscious) so you can enjoy the former even if, for now, you'd prefer to avoid the latter. Focus more on what your body can do and how it can feel, and you might find it a lot easier to accept how it looks.

Like we did for our other “Let’s follow this advice for everyone else’s amusement” post, we’ll talk aboutthe suggestionsand each of us will give our two cents about the experience. Just be glad we decided not to do the article with the doughnut. (As always, if any of these suggestions appeal to you, don’t get any of this stuff near the vaginas of anybody participating.)
Turn [a candy necklace] into an edible garter. Wear it underneath a skirt or dress, give your guy a sneak peek while you’re out, then have him eat it off you slooowly when you get home.
(InCosmoland, all of their female readers are of course dating and fucking men.) Paperispatient didn’t tell future Mr. about this tip, opting to surprise him to see his reaction. His response upon discovering the Hello Kitty candy necklace looped around her thigh was “So that’s why you were still wearing clothes, I was wondering.”

But also think about what you find sexy. Almost all of the times I've felt like I really seduced the crap out of somebody, I felt sexy and good about myself, and that confidence and sexy-feeling certainly came off to the seductee. Lots of things can make you feel sexy — hot underwear does it for me, but so does lifting weights or hearing a song with a really good beat. And unexpected things can be sexy to a partner; I wasn't aware of my whole "enjoying watching him put on lotion" thing until he put on hand cream in front of me and I found myself drooling. These discoveries can often come naturally as the two of you spend more time together. (If you're a Friends fan, you probably remember the one where Monica takes Rachel's advice and tries to seduce Chandler by making everything around her sexy; it didn't work well, to say the least, so don't feel like you need to make a huge amount of effort every time.)

Q: For the upcoming holidays, would you compile a list of your favorite toys from around the web? My absolute favorite place for vibes is Jimmyjane, but I've never bought any toys for two (that is to say, that two participants can use together). I'm sure I'm not the only one out there looking for a good gift idea.

Q: Is it bad to have friends with benefits? I am new to sex as of a year or so ago and I’ve only had sex with 2 people many times. I am only 18, but the two people I’ve had sex with were/are (I’m having sex with someone presently) not my boyfriends. Is it bad if I’m just trying to learn, and should the guy always be the one to teach the girl?
A: You’ve touched on a lot of different things with your question, so we’re going to try to break it down and address one thing at a time.
