Try It Without Your Eyes & Ears – Sex from a New Perspective – YEP Volunteer Blog: Vanessa (2018)

January 9, 2018

One of the aspects of sex that’s taken for granted by most people, is being able to absorb the sights and sounds involved – by this I mean the moans and groans and the whispers of ‘I Love You’ that accompany the passionate act. (Obviously not all people who have sex together love each other, […]

January 5, 2018

Pleasure.  When you feel pleasure it’s essentially just a shit load of dopamine being spread in your brain.  It’s the hormone that’s released when you have sex, when you eat chocolate, or even when you use certain types of drugs.  Masturbation is a certain type of pleasure many people engage with it in private, with […]
