The Winners
1st Place: Your Shape Shifting Vagina! by butts
Did you know that your vagina changes shape when you get aroused? Butts told us all about it in this article.
From the article:
Everyone and their neighbor knows that penises get erect and swell with blood when a male is aroused in order to penetrate a partner, and it secretes pre-cum for lubricant. Isn't it incredible? Erectile tissue, special glands, all of those amazing things that make sex so fascinating and fun. While it's totally common knowledge that penises do those things, did you know that vaginas do similar things? Most people just don't know because you can't see it, it's internal!
2nd Place: Sex and Depression by skeeterlynn
How does depression affect your sex life? What can you do about it?
From the article:
Depression can leave you not wanting to get out of bed or off the couch for simple things such as even eating. You can feel left out by the world and isolated due to the feeling of being unwanted and sad and miss out of a lot of activities and events that are going on around you. Not only can it make you lose interest in having sex, but it can put a lot of tension on a relationship even though strong relationships can actually help depression.
3rd Place: Submissive's Guide to Giving Head by lovesexandmarriage
Wanna give a good, submissive blow job? Yes, submissive. There is a difference.
From the article:
First and foremost, if you want to be submissive while giving head, then you have to be submissive. It sounds silly, given the topic, I know, but it’s something we sometimes forget. If you want to be a sub, you must hand over control. That means get on your knees and let him take the lead in all manners: depth, tempo, and pace. This can be hard to do, particularly with something like oral sex, where you are used to doing the work, but it's the key to submission and it’s not any different with giving head.
Community Choice Award: Confessions of a Stripper: The Champagne Room Unveiled - Part 3 - The rest of the story. by LoriandHubby
No matter what a stripper tells you, there's no sex in the Champagne Room. If you don't believe Chris Rock, take Lori's word for it.
From the article:
For the first time in my career as a stripper a customer had come back to confront me about our champagne party. For the first time, someone wanted me to answer for hustling them out of thousands of dollars. For the first time, I had to take a deep and long look at myself. I had to evaluate what I was doing. For the first time, I realized that I did not like what I had become. I did not like it one single bit.
