Lexicon

The world of sexuality has its own dictionary, and it's easy to feel lost in it. Terms mentioned in conversations, articles, or advertisements sometimes mean something completely different than they seem, and asking out loud what a word actually means can be uncomfortable.

That's why we created this lexicon. In one place, clearly and without judgment, we explain terms from the world of sexuality, relationships, and dating. What is BDSM, what does swinging look like, what does polyamory or an open relationship mean, and dozens of other terms that people encounter but rarely fully understand.

Each term is explained briefly and honestly, just as a friend who understands it would explain it to you. Without academic phrases and without raising eyebrows, just a clear answer to the question you may have always had.
