To Whom It May Concern – An Open Letter to Manufacturers, Retailers and Consumers

When I started working in a ‘sex toy shop’ 6 years ago I really didn’t expect I’d be sitting here writing another entry for this blog. In all honesty, I don’t think I expected much but a regular paycheck at minimum wage, a small commission and the opportunity to do something I was very passionate [...]

Q & A ~ What are good household products to masturbate with?

Question: I’ve been wanting to lean about my body and hoping to get my hands on a sex toy but I’m too embarrassed to go shopping for one and I don’t want to get one when I don’t know what I like or need. What can you suggest from around the house that I could [...]

Dental Dams

For those of you not in the know, Dental Dams are thin, square or rectangular pieces of latex that are placed over the vulva/vagina during oral-vaginal play (cunnilingus) or anus during 0ral-anal play (rimming) and act as a barrier to vaginal and anal secretions that may contain bacteria and viruses.  For the most part they’re reliable, somewhat [...]

Q & A ~ Is My Boyfriend Gay?

Question: First I just want to say that I love your youtube videos, they are so informational. I would appreciate if you could help me with a dilemma. I recently saw a picture of my boyfriend on a website that I would consider to be a gay site. It’s primarily for people who are attracted [...]

The Female Condom

As you all know I’m a big supporter of safe sex,  you know, the kind that leaves you free of worries about an unplanned pregnancy or possible transmission of an STD. That said I hope this post will give you further insight to the options available and help you possibly find a method of protection [...]

Condom Sizing

So you’ve found yourself standing in front of the condom section of your local pharmacy or drug store and staring back at you are over 30 different brands of condoms in different boxes with brightly designed covers, all of which are suggesting that their brand is the “best” brand and yet, you don’t know which [...]

Q & A ~ Am I Normal?

Question: I got into a relationship almost a year ago (I’m now 18) and I just realized that I have a really big naughty side to me and am starting to show it. I don’t know why but just texting can sometimes get me excited and arouse me. He likes it and so do I, [...]

Q & A ~ Non-Latex Condoms

Question: Hi Kara, I just wanted to say that I love your videos and the new website! I have a question of my own that I don’t see anywhere so I figured I’d just send it in a message. My boyfriend and I have had sex before, we always use condoms but sometimes I get [...]

Q & A ~ Does Size Matter?

The best advice I can give when it comes to your feelings of inadequacy is to let you know that as long as you are able to please her orally or by manual stimulation (fingering) then you haven’t too much to worry about. Keep in mind that majority of women (around 70%) get off from clitoral stimulation, not from penetration. That’s why I always say it’s not your dick that’s the source of your power. Funnily enough, judging from the letters I receive from many females the majority of men don’t know what to do with their “normal” sized dicks anyways…or fingers, or mouth for that matter.

Female Sexual Response Cycle

*if you are unable to view the video using the Blip.Tv player it can be found on YouTube here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26wW6vHVfIo After posting the “Faking it” and “Help!

Q & A – Condoms vs The Pill

Heya! I just watched a few of your videos and in the “Peer Pressure” one you were talking about running out of condoms. I’d like to have your opinion: why choose condoms over pills, shots and all the other things out there? Thanks in advance! Answer There are many reasons I always stress the use [...]

Q & A – Masturbation, is it bad?

Hi Kara_Sutra I’m a long time fan of yours and I’ve watched all of your videos. I was hoping you could answer some questions I had about masturbation because I have no clue what to think or if there are health ramifications. Plus I’ve always been told that its bad so I’ve never done it [...]

Kegel Exercisers for G-Spot Wellness

Not only does having strong PC muscles enhance g-spot stimulation, but they can also give you a more desirable grip during intercourse and help you control your bladder while also preventing incontinence as you age. As for the sexual benefits, they’ve bene known to help women learn to reach a g-spot orgasm, make their orgasms much more powerful, improve sexual arousal and possibly help make female ejaculation a bit more of a possibility.

How To Put On A Condom

How To Put On A Condom

Since the #1 complaint I hear regarding condoms is that they ‘spoil the mood’ I think it’s very important to practice putting them on properly (and taking them off properly) as it’ll help to make the moment move a lot smoother and quicker.

Strap-On Review & Helpful Advice

As for the question I just wanted to let you know that there is nothing wrong with strap on or domination play and you are completely “normal”. In a world where sex and intimacy are becoming more mainstream and acceptable, so too are “new” forms of sexual expression and experimentation.

~ First Time Sex:Part 3 ~ Tips/Suggestions for Girls

~ First Time Sex:Part 3 ~ Tips/Suggestions for Girls

Contrary to what most movies depict, first times are rarely what we expect. There aren’t rose petals or candles casting a glow. There’s no moment of tender, all encompassing bliss or the crooning voice of our favorite music artist in the background. Rather than a bed, many first timers find themselves in the back of a car, a park or couch as the thought of holding out for a time when the parents are out is just too bothersome, or too long of a wait. On top of that (and based on the messages I’ve received) the majority of writers found their “first time” to be clumsy, anxiety ridden, overwhelming, scary, ill planned, uncomfortable and confusing (or any mix of the above), even when it was a good one.

Q & A ~ First Times

Since some of the more commonly asked questions I get have always been from those that are new to sexuality, sex and exploring their sexual selves, I figured it was time I answered in video format.

Just In Case

Just In Case

Aside from the social acceptance issues I was raised in a generation where it was the males responsibility to carry the condoms and the females responsibility to get on the pill. While I agree that 2 forms are protection are better then 1, I think that when it comes to STI’s and protecting against them it should be both parties responsibility, not one or the other. With that in mind, the Just In Case provides a sleek and easy means of transportation that is not only respectful and discreet, but also fun and classy.

How To Turn Her On

How To Turn Her On

Most of you reading this are proabably hoping for some helpful “sexual” tips that might aid you in pleasing your female partner, more so, turning her on. The truth is, the way to a womans heart (or va-jay-jay) isn’t through playing with her nipples, diddling her clit or touching her in that place she likes. [...]

Spermicides

Spermicides

Since I create videos on the topics of being sexually educated I feel it is always important to inform you of all the pros AND cons when it comes to the decisions you make.

As I stated I have done my best with this video to remain non-judgmental, unbiased and factual. My website article however, well that’s another story.

Please always look at both sides of the coin before choosing to place something in or on your body. It will save you in the long run.

Since were living in a day and age where our health, well being and that of the environment is of utmost importance I thought I would do what I could to help raise awareness about the way we unknowingly pollute our bodies.
