A link blog about sex and sex culture
From the category archives:
Just as cringe-worthy as the last edition we wrote about, Porn for New Moms makes us want to stay on the pill. The book features father’s and kids with lines like “Damn, you look hot in those sweatpants!”, and “Now, remember, it’s my turn to do the midnight feeding, so don’t get up.” While meant to be a cute gift, we’re still irked by the stereotype of what women want when it comes to porn.

Join us to celebrate the launch of SexInThePublicSquare.org!
Friday, August 17, 2007
Rapture Cafe
200 Avenue A between 12 St. and 13 St. (Google Maps)
Time: 7:00-10:00 PM
Admission: FREE and all are welcome.
The brain/love-child of sociologist Elizabeth Wood and writer Chris Hall, Sex in the Public Square is dedicated to expanding the space for public discussion of sexuality. Blending the techniques of blogging and social networking (think Blogger meets MySpace — but all open source!), Sex in the Public Square is a space on the Internet where members can explore which parts of sex are private, which parts are public, and what happens when private and public collide. We believe that sexuality is a fundamental component of human life, and that by excluding it from “polite conversation,” we lose an important element of democratic participation.
With forums, blogs, reviews, resource lists, calls for action, and a nationwide calendar of events dedicated to sexualities of all genders, colors, and persuasions and with thousands of visitors and new contributors joining each week, we’re ready to celebrate our “birth” and we want you to join us!
Readings and performances by:
Audacia Ray
Rachel Kramer Bussel
Lux Nightmare
Ignacio Rivera
and
NYC Porn Legend Veronica Vera
Plus screenings of film clips from Cinekink and some old sex ed films too!

Celebrating the Body Erotic for Women
October 5-7
New York City
Led by Alex Jade
I am excited to extend an invitation to you and the women you know to join in a circle of women for an opportunity to explore, discover and celebrate empowered sexuality, self-defined eroticism, spiritually integrated eros. You will feel welcomed into a safe, serious, and playful space where we respectfully honor boundaries and experience ourselves as
powerful, expressive and sacred.
In this weekend program of carefully designed embodiment practices women will:
- explore the innate wisdom of your body
- expand awareness, sensation and pleasure through conscious breath, movement, touch,
and communication, where each woman’s choices and rhythms are honored
- learn how to more deeply tune in to your body, mind, heart and spirit: to receive more
fully from yourself and others, and to give without losing yourself
- learn to give and receive full-body massage and to focus on the healing potential of
sensual/spiritual energy
- learn from your own and others’ unfolding, and feel awed witnessing and supporting our
uniqueness and commonalities
This full weekend workshop is for women of all ages and sexual orientations who are ready to learn about their own power to illuminate and enjoy sexuality.

Scenario: You’re eighteen (of course you are) and just had awesome sex with your girlfriend. Oops, the condom broke, or you didn’t use one or you tossed it off halfway through. Whatever; it’s happened to lots of us. You’re not sure what to do, and scared or embarrassed or whatever to go to the health clinic and ask someone.
No worries, man. Grab your mobile phone and send a text to SexInfo (sextextsf.org), a sexual health information site for teens in San Francisco. The site was created by the advisory board of ISIS (Internet Sexuality Information Services) and funded by the San Francisco Department of Public Health. You’ll get a response on your phone or PDA (in 160 characters, duh), giving you information and instructions on minimizing risks for yourself and your partners.
Give it a go: Send the message “sexinfo” to (917) 957-4280 on San Francisco MetroPCS phones or 61827 on all other cell phones to try it. Standard text messaging rates apply.
ISIS was founded in 2001 by Deb Levine, also the founder of Columbia University’s Go Ask Alice column, in order to use emerging Internet technology to further the reach of public health resources, specifically sexual health. The organization’s mission is to “provide leadership, innovation, educational resources and research in online sexual health promotion.” ISIS’s other sites include inSPOT.org, an anonymous way for people to inform their partners of STI exposure, and STDTest.org, where people can retrieve lab results of their STI screens.
Also, can I just say, big props to the City of San Francisco for hopping on board with Deb and her projects. I read about SexInfo a while ago (I think via Violet Blue, though searches of TinyNibbles, Fleshbot and Techyum yielded no results) and thought, “How awesome and geeky: harnessing the power of teh innernets to fight injustice, infections and misinformation!”

The Anglican Communion has fully opened discussions and study on human sexuality on Tuesday when it made individual reports from member churches across the globe available on the Internet.
Called “The Listening Process,” a 1998 mandate has led to the culmination of months of work on drawing upon public statements and research into the controversial issue of homosexuality. Each of the Anglican Communion’s 38 provinces have released summaries on the matter for the entire Communion to study. (more…)

By Ronda Gowland
Although it is now four years since my original research began on this subject, the very notion of “disability and sexuality†still seems an alien and largely taboo subject amongst mainstream, “normal†society. The beauty ideal continues to dictate what is desirable and therefore worthy of sexuality and a sex life. Some progress has been made—with sculptor Marc Quinn’s marble statue of the pregnant Alison Lapper in Trafalgar Square, London, and Lapper’s own growing fame becoming an iconic artist and public figure for disabled people throughout the country. Admittedly, Marc Quinn has been cause for debate amongst some, as a nondisabled artist who depicts disabled people in his work, but what could be more challenging to the sexual taboo than this?
Still, the statue of Alison Lapper does not necessarily reclaim the stereotypes that reinforce prejudices of disabled people as being asexual, freaks, or objects of fetish or voyeurism in the realms of the dark side of sexuality. It does however redress mainstream beauty ideals and highlight the right of disabled people to have children, on an undeniably large scale. (more…)

VOORHEES, N.J. — Sexuality researcher Beverly Whipple made her name a quarter century ago popularizing the “G spot,” the elusive female erogenous zone, but she has a different message these days: Move on.
“There’s so many ways that women can have sexual pleasure,” Whipple said. “We can’t deny the experiences of women. We have to validate them.”
Lesson number one: The biggest sexual organ really is the brain.
The longtime Rutgers University nursing school professor officially retired about five years ago, but still keeps a hectic schedule, doing research, writing, giving interviews and jetting off to speak at sexuality and women’s health conferences around the globe.
Her most recent book, “The Science of Orgasm,” co-written with Rutgers neuroscientist Barry Komisaruk and Mexican endocrinologist Carlos Beyer-Flores, explores how the brain produces orgasms and the complex biological processes involved.
It documents groundbreaking work showing that, contrary to what doctors tell them, some women with spinal cord injuries can still climax. Whipple said women with such injuries who were still experiencing orgasm came to her for support, so she began a study of others with the same injury. (more…)

Regina Lynn writes:
A recent conference brought sex researchers together for four days to talk about what we do and don’t know about female sexuality, with the general consensus being we don’t know much. Perhaps because “it wasn’t until very recently that anyone thought to test those theories by asking women,” according to Judy Peres, who covered the sixth annual meeting of the International Society for the Study of Women ‘s Sexual Health for the Chicago Tribune.
The whole article is interesting, but one bit that stood out for me is the recognition that when Masters and Johnson were studying female sexuality, they mainly looked at women who were having a lot of sex and enjoying it. But now, we’re looking at what makes women dissatisfied with sex, whether desire can follow arousal instead of the other way around, what happens during orgasm and what we can do to help women want more sex more often. (I have some theories on that, myself.)
As we set scientists loose on women’s sexuality — and I think we should — we need to make sure not to forget that biology and bodies are only part of the equation. Sex tends to happen within a gigantic messy unquantifiable subjective realm known as “relating” and that is not going to submit easily to objective study.

A trusty Blade reader e-mailed an interesting tidbit to me today. It seems there’s been a debate raging over at Wikipedia about the biographical entry for openly closeted CNN anchor Anderson Cooper.
The Blade and numerous other publications have written for years about Cooper’s sexual orientation. Cooper refuses to discuss his private life, even though he’s more than happy to sit for endless interviews and to be featured on magazine covers and in CNN’s ubiquitous ad campaigns promoting his show.
He told New York magazine in 2005, “You know, I understand why people might be interested. But I just don’t talk about my personal life. It’s a decision I made a long time ago, before I ever even knew anyone would be interested in my personal life. The whole thing about being a reporter is that you’re supposed to be an observer and to be able to adapt with any group you’re in, and I don’t want to do anything that threatens that.†(more…)

Book Review By Ann Friedman
Americans tend to see bisexual women in one of two ways: Either they’re lesbians in denial, or they’re “lesbians until graduation” who sleep with women while they pursue gender studies degrees and then go back to dating men. In Look Both Ways, Jennifer Baumgardner challenges these stereotypes and makes the case that a huge number of women are attracted to and pursue significant relationships with members of both sexes. But because there is no bisexual movement to speak of, many women who date both women and men have a hard time figuring out what it means to be bisexual. (more…)
