We got the editor of erotic mag for women Scarlet, Sarah Headley to answer your rudest sex questions ever (well who better to ask?)
Q: Where can I find girl-friendly erotica?

Female-friendly porn fiction is becoming increasingly mainstream, which means you can find it pretty much everywhere. If you want something in print format, you can get a fresh dollop of erotica every month in Scarlet's Cliterature section. For a longer read, the revamped Black Lace ( www.blacklace-books.co.uk) publishes a wide range of erotic fiction for women by women, while classics, such as Delta Of Venus by Anais Nin (Penguin Modern Classics, £7.99) and Story Of O by Pauline Reage (Corgi Adult, £6.99), are worth a flick (quite literally!). Online, try www.cliterati.co.uk for a helping of unedited, aroused rantings from the general public. They're scary in parts, but prove your more depraved fantasies have, reassuringly, already been thought of by someone else. There's also Scarlet's weekly newsletter, The Scarlet Letter, which comes with a free erotic story to download. To subscribe, visit www.thescarletletter.co.uk Finally, if you feel like giving your eyes a rest, let your ears be gently whispered into with some audio porn. Download monthly radio-format shows from www.audible.co.uk/sextalk for £3.99 each, or fork out for an annual subscription at £23.99. Once you're submerged in the delightful world of word-porn, you can explore your own personal preferences. Believe it or not, the latest trends among straight women include man-on-man action and 'slash fiction', where fantasy stories revolve around real celebrity characters. Combine the two and you could end up reading about Justin Timberlake and Robbie Williams wrestling naked in a vat of Nutella. Now there's a thought...

Q: How can I survive dating a small guy (that's small as in penis, not stature)?

If it was stature, there'd be no cure (sorry, Mark Owen, we love you really!), but a lack of penile impact is easily remedied. If your man's lacking in the length department, just choose your positions more wisely. Remember, the closer your knees are to your chest during penetration, the deeper it will feel.
Try letting him enter you in missionary, then swing your legs up towards your head, and bend your knees into your chest. He should then kneel and lean over you, so his weight is bearing down as he enters. Rear-entry positions are also good for close knee-to-chest proximity, and directing a finger-vibrator to your clitoris during any position will immediately multiply your orgasmic potential. When girth is the issue, you can start by doing pelvic-floor exercises. Don't fret - we aren't accusing you of being too big. The pelvic-floor workout will help increase elasticity in your vaginal walls, so you can grip smaller things. Toned muscles will also improve your circulation downstairs, which increases sensitivity.
To work your pelvic muscles (the ones you use to stop peeing mid-flow), simply clench and release - three sets of 20 clenches daily should do it. But it's far more pleasurable to masturbate or have sex while you perform pelvic clenches. This will turbo-charge your orgasm, inspiring you to do it again and again...

Q: Is my vagina too big?

The circumference of your vaginal canal can expand to pass a baby and contract to grip a finger - how tightly depends on your muscle tone and how often your pelvic muscles get a workout - either through sex (see above!) or through exercise. The average vagina is about five inches long, though this can vary from woman to woman, in fact, doctors use different-length speculums - the device used during cervical examinations - depending on the patient. You can't reduce or increase the length of your vagina, but, then again, why on earth would you want to? When you're aroused, the upper part of the vaginal canal balloons, creating a shape like a light bulb, and therefore doesn't contribute to friction for you or him. Some women may enjoy the feeling of their cervix - the mouth of the womb - being 'kissed' by the head of the penis with each thrust. Others find it painful. If you're one of the former and your partner isn't long enough to reach, incorporate toy play with a long, thin dildo or vibrator into your sessions for days when you feel like being 'kissed'.
