Ending The Sexual Dark Age

JV Altharaswww.sexualdarkage.com
Despite what most of us are led to believe, there is nothing mysterious or elusive about the female orgasm. This is one of the many things you were probably never taught about sex, since you grew up in a society too afraid of it to have truly open dialogue on the subject. Ending the Sexual Dark Age will guide you, a step at a time, to the healthy attitude towards sexuality that you would have been taught in a genuinely civilized world. From practical techniques to sexual philosophy, you’ll learn you how to have better sex and more of it; in a friendly atmosphere that doesn’t demean or coddle. As a matter of fair warning, I use blunt language with a "no BS" style, and occasionally I say things that would make a sailor blush. Feel free to address any questions, concerns, comments or tirades to jvaltharas at gmail dot com.
