Restless Penis Syndrome

Restless penis syndrome (RPS) is a neurological disorder characterized by throbbing, pulling, creeping, or other unpleasant sensations in the penis and an uncontrollable, and sometimes overwhelming, urge to have sex. Symptoms occur primarily at night when a person is relaxing or at rest and can increase in severity during the night. Moving the penis relieves the discomfort. Often called paresthesias (abnormal sensations) or dysesthesias (unpleasant abnormal sensations), the sensations range in severity from uncomfortable to irritating to painful.

Prior to the 1970s dancers of both genders appeared largely in underground clubs or as part of a theatre experience, but the practice eventually became common enough on its own.

Giving Swinging a Second Chance

Swingers seemed too straight, too male-dominated, and too suburban to intrigue me. I never thought of the current generation of wife swappers as queer or kinky enough for my tastes. Recently, I was invited to a swingers' party in a suburb of the city I was visiting, and decided to give "the lifestyle" (as those in it like to call it) another shot.
