Yes, women can tell when a man watches too much porn — When Shakespeare wrote “all the world’s a stage,” he probably didn’t imagine our private sex lives becoming stages. Unfortunately, our modern world has placed even sex on a grand stage. In 1970, legendary sex researchers Masters and Johnson coined the term “spectatoring” to refer to sex in which someone focuses…

Don't worry, Gentlemen. Your hot ex is not on this list. — I am no marketing expert, but I see a gaping hole in the sexual wellness industry.
