Contrary to what most people are told, I was led to believe my first time would be messy awkward and painful. It wasn't.

TOPIC 2: Why some parents and teachers tell their children that their first time will be unpleasant: speaking from experience, or scare tactic? Have you ever told a young person this? Did you have a magical first time or was it messy, awkward, and painful? What were your expectations?

TOPIC 3: Why do people get together just as the holiday season approaches? Why do dating sites gain more members right about this time? Why do they not want to be alone during this time of the year? Will you be spending Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years and Valentines day alone or with a partner? Do you prefer to be alone during this time, or will you do your best to find someone to spend the holidays with?

1. Ways of handling a situation in which one partner wants to try something new, and the other doesn't. Obviously no one should be forced to do something they don't want to do, but is it important for the other partner to be able to at least talk about their desires? For the partner who is unwilling, how can he/she make sure his/her limits are understood and respected?

2. Pornography
- what is its place in a relationship?
- how does pornography affect actual expectations in the bedroom?
- have you learned anything from pornography that were especially helpful?
- experiences making your own amateur sex tapes
- whether or not it's misogynist; some might argue that it is, but how might it also be feminist?

BDSM safety .... there's been a lot of people trying stupid things since reading that fifty shades series and they need to know basics like safe words, safe drops and safe calls as well as basics about how long to leave ropes on and maybe a basic anatomy lesson to prevent harm during play ... i'm a huge advocate for BDSM but only when the people do proper research first

Contributor: Dixiemomma Dixiemomma
Adding to the last topic i suggested a tutorial on bondage techniques would be great, many people start off playing with ropes and would benefit from seeing how to properly tie the knots and such

Hi you guys! It's time to make suggestions for October's Community Choice Monthly Topic! What do YOU want to read or write about on SexIs Magazine?

Don't forget! The people who suggest the three winning topics get a prize! ... more
I blog a lot, especially on Tumblr and lately there has been controversy over the sugar daddy-baby lifestyle which I think would be interesting to read/write about.

Naked photos. There is a generation growing up online who may one day regret all the openness they're showing now. Or will they? If everyone is naked online, will it matter anymore? The recent nude photos of Prince Harry (drunk in Vegas) and Princess Kate (sunbathing where she thought she had privacy) made me think of this.

Going through menopause and how it affects your sex life.

Aging and sexuality. When you were young, you could do it any time, anywhere. Remember that time on top of the washing machine? Aging take its toll on our bodies. How much effort do you put into keeping your sex life active as you age? Do you still try the more effort-full positions, or default to spoon style? How much does it help to use lubes and toys? What about HRT or the little blue pill?

1. How important to the voter is the reproductive health care issue in regards to this coming presidential election? Is it going to be a deciding factor when it comes time to decide who to vote for? How could it affect the other issues at hand (economic, LGBT rights, health care access in general, etc.)?

2. Internal (female) condoms vs. external (male) condoms; why each one is awesome and why they should not be used together

3. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Perhaps an article or two about how breast cancer can possibly affect one's sex life, and maybe some stories about how survivors can and have been able to reclaim their sexuality despite what others might assume about breast cancer.

Along the lines of Breast Cancer Awareness, something about breast play after/during cancer and/or mastectomy.

1. Straight men and anal play. To clear up the common misconception that trying and or liking anal stimulation makes a man gay. Tips and advice on trying it for the first time, how to talk to your girlfriend about it, and trying it for the first time alone vs with your partner.

2. Delayed Ejaculation. I see a lot on premature ejaculation but not much on delayed ejaculation. It's real and it can have just as much of a negative affect on a relationship as premature can. I want to talk about it because my boyfriend and I have experienced it first hand. We can offer advice on how to deal with it.
