Hot Sex Hacks From The LGBT Community

Not all types of love look the same. Neither does all lovemaking. What happens in LGBT relationships is often different to what goes down beneath the duvet for heterosexual couples. But where ‘traditional’ penis-invagina sex is impossible, a multitude of alternative forms of carnal pleasure are now on offer, and straight couples could arguably benefit from borrowing a technique or two.

Same-sex lovers have a better understanding of how a certain touch or position feels for their partner. After all, someone who possesses a particular organ – be it a penis or clitoris – will have a good idea on how to operate it for someone’s pleasure, too.

However, it’s about more than just the physical side of sex. Queer communities frequently embrace more open, progressive attitudes to sex than the hetero norm. Whether it’s talking about anal play or challenging limiting gender stereotypes, many straight sex lives could be revolutionised by a frank Q&A session with the LGBT players. Here, a few non-heterosexuals share their hottest bedroom advice.

GO SHOPPING FOR POWER TOOLS 

‘Straight women are told sex toys must be “discreet” to avoid making their partner feel like he, his penis and his fragile masculinity are threatened by a machine,’ asserts Rashmi Malik, who is homosexual. She worries some women choose cute, tiny devices like bullet vibrators to avoid emasculating men, when they may actually need bigger, more powerful toys to get off.
