Are You Doing the Hot Girl Starfish?

Sometimes, silence can be defeaning. Especially in the bedroom. Sophie Hong tells you how to come out of your sexual shell.

SO, WHAT’S THE STARFISH?

If you haven’t heard this one before, “starfish” is a term used to describe someone who is passive when it comes to sex. How passive? Well, picture a starfish on the shore. Now swap the sandy shores for a bed and imagine someone splayed there like a starfish… you get the idea.

This word is often prefaced with “hot girl” (or “hot guy”), because those who are usually guilty of it are overly-reliant on their looks, and so aren’t as active in bed. While we’re all for doing whatever makes you feel good, it’s no fun to be on the receiving end.
