Acknowledgements
I’d like to extend my sincerest thanks to those who’ve spoken so openly to me about their sex lives. Sometimes the path to enjoying our sexuality is a difficult one. Many of us can learn from those who’ve already made this journey and are prepared to share it.
My warmest thanks as always go to Jeremy Robson for his continued and valued support in my writing endeavours. Also to Joanne Brooks for her constructive ideas and sensitivity in editing. To my family, a heartfelt thanks for their never-ending patience. Last but not least, thanks to Kate Wood who probably never gets thanked enough!
Safer and Sinful Sex
Heed this warning now. You are responsible for your own sexual health and emotional wellbeing. I, as the author of Sinful Sex, cannot be held responsible for this aspect of your life. If you are with a lover whose sexual history you are not familiar with, you should practise safer sex at all times. This means during all penetration and oral sex techniques and any other situation where there is the possibility of exchanging bodily fluids.
The proper use of condoms (read the packet!) during both vaginal and anal penetrative sex is absolutely vital. It is also advised that condoms are used when performing oral sex on the male partner to serve as a barrier against the transmission of infections between mouth and penis. Equally, a barrier such as a dental dam (available from chemists) should be used when oral sex is given to a woman, vaginally or anally, and when a man receives oral stimulation of the anus (‘rimming’).
Some of the techniques in this book do not easily lend themselves to safer sex practices. Therefore they should only be tried with a partner you know and trust – and whose sexual history is fully known to you. Unfortunately, infidelity is widespread today so you should still exercise caution even if you are in a relationship.
Safer sex can be just as sinful and erotic as sex between two lovers who know each other’s history and who do not use condoms/dams for protection against sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). The sensual, creative, and playful adorning of your partner’s genitalia with condoms/ dams/cling film (used carefully!) can be highly arousing. You can also use condoms or latex gloves on your fingers for manual stimulation of the genitals or anal area. Practice and imagination makes perfect!
Ideally, the very best way to ensure safer sex is to have a face-to-face consultation at your local surgery’s family planning clinic, or at a well-man/well-woman clinic, where you will receive personal advice. You can also attend a GUM (Genito-Urinary Medicine) clinic for confidential advice. If you wish, you can remain anonymous. Alternatively, safer sex booklets are available at these clinics, most doctors’ surgeries, bookshops and on Internet book sites.
Good luck – be sinful but be safer!
Introduction
Sinful beginnings
Do you crave deliciously sinful experiences and erotic pleasure? Do you want to, metaphorically, lap up every last drop of sensational sex with your lover? Then take this journey with me and allow yourself to develop every facet of your sexuality. You have everything you need within yourself to enjoy sinfully uninhibited sex – you simply may not have realised this potential.
Each one of you possesses your own unique sexuality that is there to be explored and enjoyed. I aim to provide you with the information and inspiration to get out and do it. The human sexual response is something truly exquisite and complex. It has the potential to give us ultimate pleasure, yet so many aspects of our lives stop us from fully enjoying our sexuality.
Unfortunately, many people find true sexual fulfilment is elusive. In fact many of you reading Sinful Sex will feel a little anxious about doing so. You may feel guilty, scared, or worried – emotions and attitudes that prevent you from truly relishing your sexuality. You may even be making lifestyle choices that prevent you from enjoying sex to the full – drinking or smoking too much, perhaps, or living with high levels of stress, or staying in unhappy relationships.
Another consideration is the complaint some people make that there’s ‘sex everywhere’ – they feel that they can’t escape it. But just because advertisers, television programmes, movies, magazines and so on, choose to exploit sex in various ways doesn’t mean that all of us are living their commercial dream. On the contrary, it puts many of us under pressure to do ‘it’ like everyone else – instead of finding the sinful pleasures that do it for us!
Many of you, however, will be comfortable with your sexuality and are simply seeking some new techniques and ideas to bring to your lovemaking. The best lovers realise that they don’t know it all – that there’s always something more to learn. And that truly sinful sex is dynamic – it changes with the mood and the moment. Never believe lovers who claim to know everything and to be able to pleasure anyone. They probably only understand their own needs and then don’t even realise how those can change and alter with circumstances.
I hope Sinful Sex will open your eyes to taking pleasure in your sexuality and introduce you to a new freedom to explore your own body and relish sex with your lover.
The most deliciously sinful sex is between consenting adults who are in control of their sexuality. This takes what I call the three ‘Cs’ of attaining and enjoying sex: sexual confidence, communication and creativity. These three areas are crucial to the development of your sexual pleasure and will be laced throughout this book.
And why have I called it Sinful Sex? Because I want you to be adventurous, to do something different, fresh and risqué. I’d like you to feel exquisite erotic pleasure, leaving behind your inhibitions, enjoying every little corner of your body, and revelling in the power of the emotions behind your sexual feelings, fully aware of the connection between mind and body. Before we get to truly sinful pleasure, I’d like to take you through self-pleasure – getting to know your own body – and the stages of sexual pleasure. Understanding these will prepare you for a fulfilling (and sinful!) sex life.
Many of the techniques and suggestions found in Sinful Sex can be applied to men and women. Often, the descriptions relate to one sex only, but this is purely to avoid repetition. In most cases, your partner will be able to practise the technique on you and you will be able to treat him or her with it too!
1 Sinful Self-Pleasure
This chapter is crucial! You may be surprised to find a whole chapter devoted to this topic. In fact, it might be said that I’m on a bit of a mission to get people indulging in self-pleasure. The reason? You can’t possibly achieve a sinful sex life without truly knowing your own sexual responses. Such sexual self-knowledge is absolutely imperative for deriving real pleasure. I can’t stress this enough. This is where many other mediums of sex advice fall down – they simply don’t emphasise how the basis of your sexual enjoyment largely rests with your ability to understand your own body.
I know this to be true from the thousands of people I have spoken to in my roles as agony aunt, life coach and psychologist. It is particularly true for females, as those women who really know their bodies tend to have more satisfying sexual relationships. Generally speaking, men are more willing to own up to masturbating. The famous American sex researcher Alfred Kinsey allegedly said that 98 per cent of men in his studies reported masturbating – and the other 2 per cent had lied!
However men, too, could get more out of their ‘solo’ experiences rather than simply experiencing brisk and basic sexual relief. For starters, they can use masturbation to help learn more control over their ejaculatory response – something most women would love them to do!
How does self-pleasure relate to mutual pleasure with your lover? I’ve heard many tales of people feeling ‘lost in the dark’ with their lovers and not having particularly good sexual relationships. In the next breath, they say how they shy away from enjoying their own sexuality. So I only have to put two and two together – and it doesn’t add up to two cosy lovers!
The irony of this is that people expect to explore their lover’s sexual response – but not their own! Why should theirs be any different? They should be exploring the fluid and dynamic qualities of their own sensuality; the many things that affect sexual feelings, not only from relationship to relationship but from day to day!
How can you possibly expect a lover to explore and pleasure you, if you can’t do the same to yourself? If you find your own body so daunting, scary even, or a turnoff, or you’re anxious about touching yourself, you’ll transmit this anxiety in subtle ways (and maybe not so subtle ways) to your partner. If touching yourself seems so unpleasant or ‘wrong’ you’ll find it hard to cross this negative emotional barrier and express to your lover what might feel good – fantastic even! You need to develop a positive sexual relationship with yourself before you’ll truly enjoy sinful sex with your lover. This is analogous to what relationship experts mean when they say that until we learn to love ourselves we can’t truly love another.
In other words, sex and love are two-way streets. As well as focussing on your lover’s needs, you need to be able to express your own. Sexual communication will be covered in Chapter Two. The starting point here is knowing your sensual self. It’s amazing how Victorian views on sex – and particularly their anxiety-raising convictions that masturbation caused anything from sterility to madness – still seem to lurk behind our modern-day feelings of sexual guilt. Well, we know that we’re not going to go sterile if we pleasure ourselves – but does it make us perverts to masturbate, we wonder? Time to throw away any notions your parents (or possibly some of your past lovers) have given you that masturbation is sad, bad or dirty.
Getting sexy with yourself
I mentioned sexual confidence in the Introduction. Sexual confidence begins with self-knowledge. In most cases, the people I meet have low sexual confidence because they have low self-knowledge. Remember this simple equation: Self-knowledge = sexual confidence = self-pleasure = shared pleasure!
What is the best way to begin this fascinating journey into the way your sexuality expresses itself? The perfect starting point is to introduce you to the intricacies of the male and female genitalia and erogenous zones, with the help of some simple drawings. This will benefit those of you who don’t realise all the many different pleasure points that await you. And for those of you who feel you know it all, simply treat this section as a refresher course!
Please note: women’s genitals come in all shapes and sizes. In 50 per cent of women, the inner labia protrude past the outer labia.
The art of masturbation doesn’t begin and end with your genitals, however. So let me take you on a little journey around your main erogenous zones in the following illustrations. We don’t want to leave any stone unturned in terms of erotic self-discovery! You may wonder why I refer to it as the ‘art’ of masturbation. Quite simply, masturbation ranges from the fast and furious self-administered ‘quickie’ to a luxuriant and leisurely, tender and slow, self-seduction. It can truly be an art to understand how your body responds. As you come to know your body – and how your moods and feelings affect its responses to stimulation – you can then treasure the richness of your sexual responses.
A sinful selection of your erogenous zones
From your scalp down to the tips of your toes, your body has a wealth of erogenous zones. Each person responds differently, though, and that’s what makes every lover unique! What turns one person on, say, gentle stroking behind the knees, will feel awful, ticklish or overly sensitive to another. So let me show you around the body and, hopefully, this will help you to be more creative when you masturbate. You can then carry this delicious knowledge into your lovemaking.
Where you feel most comfortable
You need to learn to treasure yourself. And that means beginning where you’re most comfortable. Ensure you are warm and relaxed. Most people will probably choose their bedroom. But once you’ve discovered the joys of self-pleasure, you might want to try somewhere new from time to time – the bath, shower, sofa, easy chair, and so on. And for something a bit more sinful – sitting in your office desk chair (behind locked doors!). Before you masturbate, you may want to use a visualisation technique (such as the one I describe below) to help you to relax. Or you could simply allow erotic thoughts and fantasies to wander slowly through your mind.
The type of touch
Now what do you do to all these lovely erogenous zones when you’re going solo? Caress, scratch, tickle, massage, pinch and tap them with your fingertips, hands and wrists. You may find it more arousing to stimulate yourself with some sort of implement. For example, you could try gently massaging yourself with a vibrator or dildo. Many women have confided in me that they masturbate using a silky scarf, which they gently pull back and forth over their clitoral region. You may choose to wear silky underwear for a supersensual feeling. You may find you get more pleasure by placing a pillow between your thighs, which you gently rub against. This is particularly effective for women who are very sensitive to direct stimulation or touch. Or you could use the palm of your hand. If you experiment by touching yourself in different ways, it will help you to discover how you want your partner to touch you and, in turn, enable you to be more imaginative when touching your lover.
Sinful Secret… rather than use their hand,
some women prefer to masturbate against
something soft, such as a pillow.
It’s important that you free yourself to touch your body how you want. There is no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ way to masturbate. If you’ve never masturbated before, begin by lying back on your bed or in a warm bath and touching your upper body. Caress your breasts/chest and then gently pinch or stroke your nipples. Or you could allow your fingertips to run slowly across your neckline and then trace
