The V-Spot: Dating clichés that need to go

The V-Spot: Dating clichés that need to go

by Yana Tallon-Hicks | Jun 10, 2015 | Columns, The V-Spot, Wellness

So many sex and dating clichés, so many hot-tub induced yeast-infections, accidental sex farts, and awkward threesomes. Here’s to half-a-dozen intimate “ideals” that gotta go: ∎ Subtly hit on your crush. No. Make that flirting obvious as hell. I don’t mean in a...

The V-Spot: At The End of My (Long-Distance) Rope

by Yana Tallon-Hicks | Jun 2, 2015 | Columns, The V-Spot, Wellness

Dear Yana, My eldest daughter is now 16. I’ve had to cover the sex talk basics as her mother (we’re divorced) is FAR more conservative (and shall we say repressed) than I. How do I, as a father, steer my daughter towards a more sex-positive outlook when it’s clear she...
