Sex Dictionary

When it comes to sex, it sometimes seems like it has its very own lingo. There are so many different terms and phrases about sexual activities, relationship issues, sexual health, and everything else pertaining to sex that it's impossible to keep track of them all. And it gets even more complicated when you throw sex toys into the mix too.

We've cleaned it up and expanded it since then to include some of the more common adult lingo you might encounter. We hope that you find it just as useful for increasing your sexual knowledge.
