A recent study of college students' sexual behavior found that while the definition of "rough sex" differs from person to person, the practice should be considered normative. Of participants in relationships, about 4 in 5 had engaged in rough sex with their partner, and almost all reported at least some enjoyment of it. Transgender and non-binary individuals reported higher rates of rough sex enjoyment than others. Rough sex is one of the most popular sexual fantasies . In fact, when I surveyed 4,175 Americans about their fantasies for my book Tell Me What You Want , I found that most people had fantasied about some type of rough sex before. But what exactly does it mean to have “rough sex?” Which specific activities do people include in this?

A recent study published in Archives of Sexual Behavior provides some important insight into these questions, at … [Read more...] about How Many People Have Had “Rough Sex”?

Source: iStockphoto/adl21 Have you ever fantasized about being ‘forced’ to have sex ? If so, you’re not alone.

I write this in the week after a first cousin who died last summer would have turned 50; one year to the day after a dump truck driver got distracted, struck, and killed a different first cousin on the other side of the family; and very nearly a year after my last grandparent passed. Those are not the only deaths among family and friends. Plus, this year has also inflicted ongoing mortal fears as society, to some degree, shut down, as close family members caught COVID (but recovered), and as good friends received terminal diagnoses (where recovery seems unlikely and yet they fight on). Through it all, it is easy to feel guilty about one's own feelings of grief and fear when "others have it so much worse." In nearly every case, that will be true because there will be those who suffer worse, and yet that does not change the individual's personal experience and confrontation with mortality. We mourn for lost human … [Read more...] about Grieving and Grief Counseling in (and for) the Year We Lost
