More
Sometimes we ask, “What’s more?” And our answer is always, “Lots more!” If at a relationship website we feel things end with talking about dating, heartbreaks, marriage, sex and extra marital affairs then we have not given you the whole picture of relationship dynamics in the modern world.
The section More harps on LGBTQ relationships, on live-in and open relationships and Happy To Help stories are about tricks and tips to deal with relationship issues that could be anywhere between quarter-life crisis to how to split the finances in a marriage or how to impress the girl you like.
There is an entire section on Women’s Issues and the stories range from women’s health and hygiene, to lifestyle and dressing and dating tips. There are more serious articles on issues like abuse, rape and domestic violence.
There are two more important sections of More those are Spirituality and Mythology and User Blogs. The former is hugely popular as it has relationship stories from Indian mythology, lesser heard tales from the Mahabharata, Ramayana or the Vedas.
User Blogs have been mostly written by readers on invitation and is a vast archive of interesting opinions and views.

India’s Forgotten Celebration Of Love: Story Of Kama And Rati
Unlike the kiss – and condom-shy nation we seem to have now become, India was once known, among other things, as the land of the Kamasutra. We were that ‘forward’ nation that not only gave the world fascinating sex manuals but also put images of amorous couples on our temple walls. Sex was not a
