Are You Really Going to Do This?

Before you strip down and smile for the camera, consider a few things first: Can you trust your partner? Are you ready to accept negative consequences, like the photos get leaked? Are you hesitant about being in the buff? “If you're genuinely uncomfortable posing naked, it's not going to feel good for you,” explains Lux Alptraum, editor of Fleshbot.com. “And anything that doesn't feel good to you is fundamentally un-hot.” But if the thought totally turns you on, then go for it!

Why Are Submissive Fantasies a Turn-On?

Everyone's talking about the erotic novel “50 Shades of Grey,” and these three findings on sexual fantasies may explain why.

Sometimes it takes a popular vampire series or Rihanna song to get people talking about otherwise taboo sex topics. Most recently, it’s the best-selling erotic novel “50 Shades of Grey,” which follows the dominant-submissive relationship between a powerful businessman and a college student, complete with explicit S&M sex scenes. Undoubtedly your neighbor has read it, and—mom jokes aside—maybe even your mom.

Since its re-release in April, it’s been shaking up book clubs, bedrooms—even sparking a debate about the power dynamics between women and men. Though only a small part of the population reports fantasizing about sadomasochism/bondage (8 percent, according to a Durex global survey), the theme has piqued interest on a mass scale.
