Love and Sex

Small or big arguments, about important or unimportant things; it actually just comes with having a relationship. There are very few couples who don't argue with each other, and to be honest, that seems very strange to me. A little irritation can even be healthy: it keeps things sharp and ultimately helps you grow together in your relationship. So, arguing from time to time is completely normal and can even have a positive effect on your relationship. But how do you know if you are arguing too much in your relationship? When does...

Now women freely talk a lot about sex. About threesomes, how to handle ‘a crazy penis’ in bed (just don't), biggest bed blunders and yes, also about porn – women's porn, that is. But no matter how often you discuss what happens between the sheets with your girlfriends, there are always those questions that you just don't bring up during the Friday afternoon drinks. Fortunately, our colleagues from the British Marie Claire did dive into it and asked experts to answer five intimate questions from women. You ready? Sometimes I can go a few weeks in a row but just can't get enough...

Even between the sheets, things can sometimes go wrong. Men do make bed blunders and there's nothing wrong with that, because you can learn from your mistakes, right? Well, it's a matter of trying out and experimenting together in bed and sometimes just repeating what you know can't go wrong. And keep laughing with each other. And talking. That usually cuts the awkwardness in half. Alright, those dramatic bed blunders that all men recognize to some extent: 1. Finishing too quickly One of the most common mistakes is going too fast and finishing too quickly. Excitement and enthusiasm can...

I never thought I would do this myself. And especially not that I would tell someone about it. I do it because I know there is a lot of curiosity about it. But I hope you forgive me for writing this under a pseudonym. Going to sex parties is not exactly something my mother or the greengrocer needs to know about me. Going to sex parties is an enormous trend among trendy Amsterdammers. You can go solo, or with your partner, and you can also choose to just watch and...

Does that bunny vibrator hidden in your nightstand work so many overtime hours that you have to charge it weekly? Then it's time for something else. There are hundreds of other sex toys on the market that you can use, but yes: those things are expensive. For some extras like a tongue or some extra vibrations, you easily pay more than three evenings' worth of food combined. That must be possible differently, right? Certainly. That's why we have compiled the best sex toys of the moment under €50 for you. This way, you will never be bored in bed again. 1. Mini wand vibrator (€44.49) If there are...

Traveling with your great love; romantic dinner for two by the sea, and then wandering hand in hand through cute streets. In theory, that is. In practice, it sometimes ends up being just a bit less cinematic; for example, when Google Maps has you circling for twenty minutes. Try to bite your tongue then. And yet, it turns out that it's not so bad to have a little argument on vacation. It's even quite recommended if you want to improve your relationship. On the road without navigation Maybe you don't realize it, but at home you are constantly on autopilot. You...

Well. In some relationships, sexual passion is hard to find. Do you flop back into bed disappointed after yet another 15-minute session, where only the missionary position is involved? Then you better listen up. It's about time you push each other against a wall and show why you fell for each other. But hey: we have no judgment. Sometimes you just need a little push in the right direction. For that, we know something: exciting movies that show exactly what you can try tonight. Because let's be honest: there is little...

Sex parties. Just the word alone evokes a slight feeling of panic in some and an insatiable curiosity in others. The fact is that they are increasingly popping up in conversations at the dinner table, during drinks, and like with us at the lunch table. Amsterdam has embraced them (sex parties are a big trend among trendy Amsterdammers) as one of those trends that first raises your eyebrows and then you want to know just a bit too much about. And maybe even want to go to. Because suppose you think, maybe I want to experience this once, then...

Honestly, we could all use a bit more sex in our lives from time to time. Or am I now getting all raised eyebrows and shocked looks for saying something controversial? Probably not, because this is just how it is. In our busy lives, where you have to work for your money, keep up with your skincare, try out hobbies, and still find time to sleep, there is hardly any time left for that. But still: it should be. And when you finally have an evening, your partner is not in the mood again. We can't...

Do you think your sex life is perfect? Then I would shine a light in your partner's face and start the cross-examination, because there is an important question you haven't asked: what is his wildest fantasy? It's really true: just like you sometimes daydream, that guy of yours has the wildest fantasies playing rent-free in his head. This isn't about a simple ‘I want to try something other than missionary’, but things you wouldn't quickly consider, like... Yes, for that you need to read further. These are the...
