What Sex Positive Really Means
Tuesday March 25, 2014
I've run into a few blog posts and articles in the last week or so that use the term 'sex-positive' in a way I haven't heard before. This article in the New Statesmanis an example. They use the term to refer to people who thinks that absolutely any expression or representation of sexuality, regardless of what is portrays or how it was produced, is a good thing. They use the term to describe a...
Real People, Real Life, Real Sex: Matt and Khym Better Than Ever
Friday March 14, 2014
Comstick Films presents a series of DVDs that are basically porn documentaries. The films feature real couples talking about their lives together and footage of them having real sex. Matt and Khym are in their 30s and at the time this was filmed, had been together for almost 20 years. In an interview (with the interviewer off-camera and silent) they talk about how they met and got together. The dialogue is very genuine and conversational, and Matt and Khym come across as both very likeably people. I especially was drawn to how empowered Khym was – she was younger and much less experienced then Matt when they got together, but she became a very strong and passionate woman. More than just likeable, Matt and Khym are an inspiration. Early on in their marriage they had a lot of things to deal with that could have very well broken up other couples – in particular, the revolving door of friends and family members who stayed with them and who they had to look after.
New Method for Preventing Pregnancy, HIV and Herpes Looks Promising
Tuesday March 11, 2014
This morning, I read about a new idea for contraception that looks pretty amazing. It's a ring that delivers levonorgestrel, a hormone that is used in many birth control pills, and tenofovir, an anti-viral drug. It is placed in the vagina in the same way that a diaphragm or female condom is, and can be left in place for up to 90 days. During that time, it delivers a steady dose of the two drugs....
Silly Stats for V-Day
Friday February 14, 2014
Happy V-Day everyone!
One of my distributors send us all this infographic on Valentine's Day stats. I have no idea where these were gleaned from and what survey it's quoting, so I cannot verify how accurate any of these things are. However, it's Valentine's Day and I'm happy and I think it's appropriate to share something silly and fun.

Can Underwear Prevent Rape?
Wednesday February 12, 2014
I just ran across this little article today about a woman who has started a kickstarter campaign to produce a line of 'consent panties'. The panties are in various styles and they bear pro-consent message like 'ask me first', 'talk to me', and 'consent is bootyful'. Her line was inspired by a on-line prank last year that led people to believe that Victoria's Secret had put out a line of consent...
