How many of these sex terms can you name?
Whoah, Baby
If you’re getting hot-and-heavy with your guy and trying something new, and suddenly you don’t feel comfortable anymore, you use this to stop the action.
A- Whip
B- Safeword
C- Buzzer
D- Smack him!Click through for the answer
B - Safeword
Claire Cavanagh, sex educator and Babeland founder, suggests neutral words like like "yellow" for "I'm okay right now, but I'm reaching my limit" and "red" for "time to stop this"-- or choose your own, just make sure it's not something that might normally be said during a sexual encounter, even "no," or "stop," which can be confusing in some contexts, especially in bondage/S&M scenes, where the submissive partner might say "no" or "stop" and the dominant partner won't listen, because that's part of the fantasy for a submissive--giving up control.
The New 'Oral' Addiction
When you’re sitting pretty on your partner’s face, you are _____ him.
A- Queening
B- Cowgirling
C- Frogging
D- SmotheringClick to the next slide for the answer
A - Queening
Kink expert, columist for MyPleasure.com and sex educator Sarah Sloane defines this fetish as being about "breath control, being used as furniture." It doesn’t necessarily always involve conventional oral sex, just a display of female dominance, she says, which is a huge turn-on to submissive guys.
The Good Kind of Corporal Punishment
If your lover has ever turned you over his knee and spanked you (and you liked it) then you’re a fan of:
A- The Dangerous Method
B- The Mad Cow
C- The English Vice
D- The Prince WilliamClick to the next slide for the answer
C- The English Vice
Sexual terminology changes as fast as any other kind of slang, and this term, which refers to enjoying corporal punishment, is much less common than it used to be, says Sloane. "Old terminology like 'French' or 'English' have really fallen out of favor except in the sex work community," she says, "As another example, 'French service' used to mean a blowjob, but people are much more comfortable just saying these things now." While we're glad people are open about discussing their desires, we're kind of sad to see these terms go -- there's something naughty and coy about them, no?
Cloudy With A Chance Of ____?
You don’t need to be in your bathroom to take this kind of shower -- although it will make cleanup a lot easier! Break out the rubber sheets for this kinky act, called:
A- Sexy Sprinkler
B- Golden Shower
C- Garden Hose
D- Making it RainClick to the next slide for the answer
B- Golden Shower
"This entered the mainstream thanks to singer R. Kelly, who's been known to engage in golden showers," says Catherine Toyooka, sex coach and curator of Catherine’s Sex Glossary, a collection of commonly-used sex terminology. "Golden showers can be anything from urinating on a person's chest to inside their mouth," so if you decide to explore this with a partner, speak up and be specific about what you're okay with.
Please Use Rear Entrance...
Guys dread the day they have to go to the doctor for the clinical version of this massage, but you know just how to touch your man’s most private spot to send his orgasm into overdrive. It’s known as:
A- The Button
B- The P-Spot
C- The G-Spot
D- The Glee SpotClick to the next slide for the answer
B- The P-Spot, Or Prostate Gland
"Often referred to as the male G-Spot, the prostate is located inside the rectum, is about the size of a walnut, and can be stimulated internally or via the perineum," says Toyooka. Or -- the area between his balls and his anus. "Some -- though not all -- men find it incredibly arousing to have their p-spot stimulated, either with a finger inside the anus or by rubbing the perineum externally, and often report feeling more robust, full body orgasms."
Strap On Your Big Girl Undies
Bend over, boyfriend -- ladies who like to be in charge are strapping on their sex toys and doing what to their partners?
A- Quarterbacking
B- Punting
C- Pegging
D- BingingClick to the next slide for the answer
C- Pegging
Coined by sex columnist and author Dan Savage, pegging was voted on by his readers (more than 12,000 people participated) as the perfect term for a woman anally penetrating a man with a strap-on dildo. It's become widely used -- much to the dismay of Savage's Aunt Peg, he says.
Love For The Ta-Tas
This funny act is a nautical nickname for a physical expression of sheer joy that often accompanies the reveal of a pair of breasts. (It makes us giggle every time!)
A- Sailing Away
B- Motorboating
C- Motorcycling
D- CheerleadingClick to the next slide for the answer
B- Motorboating
"Basically, it’s when someone sticks their face between a female's breasts and shakes their head back and forth while saying "brrrrr." This produces a sound that is similar to motorboat in water," says Toyooka. "More often than not, motorboating is a term used when referring to women who have large breasts. It's an activity more for giggles and less about sexual pleasure," she says -- but a little laughter in the bedroom never hurt anyone!
Paper, Rock...
This cutting-edge sexual position, where one of your partner's legs is between one of yours and their other outside of it, is a great chance for you to show off one of your terrific legs, while your partner does the hard work. What's it called?
A- The Rockette
B- The Scissors
C- The Split
D- The TreeClick to the next slide for the answer
B- The Scissors
With one of your legs straight up in the air and the other flat on the bed in front of you -- like a pair of scissors in action -- your partner has plenty of room to penetrate as deeply as you want, and you'll control the action by how high you lift your leg. Cavanagh named some of the most descriptive sex act names she's heard in talking to thousands of people about their sex lives, and this one, is a common favourite.
Girls Gone (Wet And) Wild
It may not be ideal if you're in the mood for a hot makeout session -- but this act involves your mouth and one of your most private of places.
A- Russell Branding
B- Chocolate Kisses
C- Salad Tossing
D- Cookie TossingClick to the next slide for the answer
C- Salad Tossing
"It's slang for when a person sticks their tongue in and around their partner's anus," says Toyooka. However jokey the word might be, the act itself has become more common as anal play overall has increased, she says. There are tons of nerve endings there that make some oral action extremely pleasurable. (Just make sure you both brush your teeth after!)
Better Than A Manicure
A day in the bedroom beats a day at the spa, especially if you're willing to get a little kinky. Some men claim that this act is as good for your skin as the spa equivalent -- that's not strictly true, but it's certainly a lot of fun!
A- Facial
B- Doggy-style Grooming
C- Hair pulling
D- TantraClick to the next slide for the answer
A- Facial
"This is when a man ejaculates on his partner's face," Toyooka says. "It is becoming popular because they are a common 'money shot' in porn movies." She warns: "This is something that should be negotiated before it occurs as some people are not into it." She also cautions that facials gone awry (i.e. into the eye) are extremely painful, which is another reason to insist on a warning, even if you've given your okay.
Voulez Vous Coucher Avec Moi
Two guys, one girl, and one high five -- it didn't appear on Paris Hilton's sex tape, but this threesome urban legend shares something in common with her name:
A- The Space Needle
B- The Niagra Falls
C- The Taj Mahal
D- The Eiffel TowerClick to the next slide for the answer
D- Eiffel Tower
This scenario, where one woman services two men at the same time on her hands and knees (via intercourse and oral sex) while they high-five over her, forming the iconic triangular shape of the tower, is the stuff of frat-boy tales -- and probably nothing more. "I would say that only about 5 percent of what's on UrbanDictionary is actually said, and even less than that is actually done," says Sloane.
You're In For A Surprise...
You've probably seen it in the background of some of your boys' spring break pictures, but if you've secretly wondered whether it has any merit in the bedroom, you're not alone. Make like a bro and throw up:
A- The Shocker
B- The Slider
C- The Peace Sign
D- The Wu-TangClick to the next slide for the answer
A- The Shocker
This act is when a man places one finger in your vagina and one in your anus. "It's called the shocker because, most of the time, the partner is not made aware that there will be anal fingering/penetration until it happens…therefore, it comes as a shock," says Toyooka. Since consent is key to pleasurable sex, we’re going to have to call this one a "don't" -- unless you ask him to try it with your permission.
Baby Got Back
You all know the Reverse Cowgirl, but there’s a variation where you give him a REALLY full rear view, by bending forward while you move your hips. Architecture buffs will know the answer, but you can all enjoy the fun. It’s the…
A- Full Moon
B- Full-Frontal
C- From Russia With Love
D- Flying ButtressClick to the next slide for the answer
D- Flying Buttress
Cavanagh describes this as "a Reverse Cowgirl but with the top partner's head at the feet of the other," a racy position for some, but one that any butt man will surely enjoy. Are you brave enough to buttress?
Yoga Is So Last Year
This sexual position isn't just ideal if you crave deep pentration -- it's also an awesome way to cuddle your partner, too.
A- The Cobra
B- The Swami
C- The Chair
D- The TreeClick to the next slide for the answer
B- The Swami
Face your partner, sitting on his lap with your legs around his waist, says Cavanagh, and either support yourself with your hands on the mattress, or hold his shoulders while he helps move your hips up and down. Because isn't it more fun to say "oh!" instead of "ohm?"
