in Events, sexuality

Are you ready to own your sexuality, to reclaim it, heal it and celebrate it? If you are ready to explore and transform your sexuality, join sexuality educator Amy Jo Goddard and some of the former participants of the Women’s Sexuality Empowerment Apprenticeship program for a free introductory night. Amy Jo will help women to assess where they are currently in their own sexuality and lead them in a guided meditation and interactive discussion. There is no obligation to take the program, and you will definitely walk away with some clarity and action steps about your own sexuality.

“I know there is a deep need for safe spaces where women can study and grow their sexuality, so I’ve carefully constructed a framework where women can learn experientially and share with each other aspects of their sexual selves that have been in hiding. I want to see women be truly empowered sexually. I want to see women support each other. I want women to have the intimate relationships they dream of. I want to support women to take the risks required to become their most authentic, fulfilled sexual selves.”

A U.S. federal court rules Proposition 8 is unconstitutional, which Arizona conservatives say “jeopardizes the democratic process,” so they’re really lucky gay couples will probably still opt to save their lives from burning buildings. Also, a high court in Mexico similarly upholds same-sex marriage, a 17 month old baby boy is punched to death for “acting like a girl,” an online survey shows even stereotyped beer-bellied men would take a male birth control pill, a CNN “investigative journalist” shows her panic-stricken bias over continued Craigslist sex trafficking scares, and Lisa Russ suggests sex education tips by taking a page from the National Rifle Association?

Last week was a big, big week in sexuality news and I was a guest, along with trans blogger and activist xMech on the Kink on Tap netcast, the smart netcast for the kinkily inclined, hosted by MayMay and Helio Girl.

Intro Night: Women’s Sexuality Empowerment Apprenticeship (Free)

Are you ready to own your sexuality, to reclaim it, heal it and celebrate it?

Amy Jo Goddard is launching the Women’s Sexuality Empowerment Apprenticeship on September 21, 2010 in New York City. This program is a serious commitment to your sexual self. It’s a program that fills a gap for women who are seeking a unique environment where they can study themselves intimately. There is no way it won’t transform the women who choose it.

Join Amy Jo and some of the former participants of the program for a free introductory night. Amy Jo will help women to assess where they are in their own sexuality and lead them in a guided meditation and interactive discussion. As an attendee, you will be able to ask questions of her and of the former participants to see whether the program feels right for you. There is no obligation to take the program, and you will definitely walk away with some clarity about your own sexuality.

Yes, There Is a G-Spot (The Daily Beast)

by Viviane on 01/12/2024

in sexuality

by Rachel Kramer Bussel

This just in: The G-spot doesn’t exist! At least, according to British researchers who’ve made splashy headlines with this claim in a new study in The Journal of Sexual Medicine. According to the abstract, “1,804 unselected female twins aged 22–83 completed a questionnaire about their sexuality and G-spot knowledge” and the point of the study was to find “genetic variance component analysis of self-reported G-spot.” That alone should tell you this study was highly subjective.

Yet the very idea of there not being a G-spot sparked international headlines. One commenter on a science blog wrote, “The supposed ‘G-spot’ is probably an androcentric fabrication to support male penetration,” while many others rushed in to gleefully proclaim the spot nonexistent.

…All the experts I spoke to emphasized that there are no “shoulds” when it comes to the G-spot. On that point, they and researchers Tim Spector and Andrea Burri seem to agree: Women shouldn’t be pressured into locating or playing with their G-spots (or, I’d venture, any other body parts). But the vehemence which with the study’s authors attack the idea of the G-spot needs to be questioned. Whipple says, “I think it’s important to validate women’s experiences and not set up goals.” The media’s response to stories like this is perhaps more troubling than the study itself; a proper conclusion would be, perhaps, that many women don’t believe they have a G-spot, not that it doesn’t exist.
