Throw kink, polyamory, and emotional baggage from previous relationships into the mix, and finding someone compatible can feel impossible.

My, the things you say!
You probably already know this one: What’s the most important sex organ? Answer: the brain. Turning on a partner is more about exciting the mind than the genitals. So wear something sexy, do some role-playing, or just talk a little dirty.
