Quick confession to you, I’ve never orgasmed. To be truthful, I’ve kind of lost hope that I will. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve tried, with partners, by myself, it just seems kind of impossible. I’m definitely coming across salty here, but I feel deprived. Now, if that’s how I feel about it, how would the…

What do we love? Consent!
Having sex whilst on drugs falls into the grey area when talking about consent. I’m not talking about date rape drugs and spiking here (they pose their own issues). But how can you properly give consent if you’ve taken some form of drug to enhance your night out? Would you be in your right mind…

‘If you want to cheat, then cheat’
The Sex and Drugs Survey revealed that 92% of people believe that cheating on a partner is not acceptable, but only 83% said they haven’t cheated. I guess it could be assumed the gap is made up by people who cheated and realised it was wrong, but it poses an interesting question: is cheating ever…

Dinner with a drug dealer
I’m sitting in a room talking to a man. I can’t be more specific than that. We’re eating dinner – spaghetti bolognese. He’s a former drug dealer from South London. Between the ages of 18 and 20, he sold pills and weed across the region, working with a large-scale supplier and selling to a wide…

Picking someone up: where do you go?
You’re a young person looking for sex, but just when it seems like it’s right there, you don’t know what to do. So where do you go? Increasingly nowadays people are looking to dating apps for their partners. We all know the drill, you look at a picture (probably fake), maybe read a bio (if…
