One of the greatest things about being on a sex-positive podcast is that listeners and friends often send you wonderful articles.

This one really got my brain rolling and made me do some self reflection - "Am I really sex-positive?" "When do my sex-negative thoughts occur?" "How is that reflected in what I say and do?" "Am I 'yucking' other people's 'yums'?"

Take a read and then take a moment for some self-reflection: http://www.thefrisky.com/2012-05-09/8-ways-to-be-positive-youre-sex-positive/

Metaphorically Speaking

laura@sexisfun.net (Sex is Fun) — Thu, 26 Apr 2012 06:43:32 PDT

While at the library the other day I found this amazing book:

I was immediately struck with the 70’s fabulous cover art; illustration of waves on the ocean implying (I assume) that total orgasm is just like ocean waves washing over you again and again. While a good metaphor, imagery like this sometimes makes me cranky because it seems like it stems from a desire to not talk about the realities of sex-bodies, fluids, people using hands and mouths and genitals on each other. It can be embarrassing to talk about all those things. Much better to just say hot sex should be just like “waves on the ocean.”

Don’t get me wrong, this isn’t a critique of the book Total Orgasm at all. I wouldn’t dare to critique it since I haven’t read it. I am purely referring to my reaction to the cover art.

This is also not a rant at people who like to describe their sex with metaphor. If you like to think of your multiple orgasms as waves on the ocean, more power to you! If you see a spiritual component to sex that can only be described in poetic language like “earth shaking,” “becoming one with everything” or “the volcanos of eros erupting in my pants” then I am very happy you are having such enlightening experiences.

What I take issue with is when professionals who are attempting to teach people how to have better sex use these phrases without accompanying them with any concrete information. Ok, so great sex should be like waves on the ocean. Sounds fun to me. How do I do that? How do I put my body together with my partner’s body and get waves on the ocean to happen? Where do I put my fingers? What should I do with my mouth? What if their tide goes out before my waves crest? Should I adjust my moon phase to elevate my water levels?

Do you see my concern here? Professionals shouldn’t forget that sex involves lots of things: anatomy and function, bodies, self esteem, fluids, technique, emotions, turn ons, safer sex concerns, and spirituality are all important aspects. And those are just a few aspects that might come up for folks. But if you are trying to teach people how to have more satisfying sex lives you can’t be afraid to give straightforward, concrete information. Metaphors might give people good ideas of how sex feels to you or what your philosophy about sex includes but it won’t tell them how to make reactions happen in their own or other people’s bodies.

SiF #329 - Role Play (Part 2)

laura@sexisfun.net (Sex is Fun) — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 12:00:29 PDT

The discussion heats up as the SiF crew talks about the many scenarios that can play out in your bedroom. Listen as loaded topics like racism, classism, sexual assault, and incest enter the arena and hear how Coochie, Laura Rad, and Gay Rick disagree. The group finishes up by discussing safe words and aftercare.

Men in Lacy Underthings

laura@sexisfun.net (Sex is Fun) — Thu, 12 Apr 2012 06:46:17 PDT

Today is dedicated to all the men out there with something frilly under their khakis. Lots of men wear panties for lots of different reasons. Some like to do something that feels naughty, some like the look, the way their special bits are held more snugly than in boxers or the feel of the soft, shiny or lacy material.

The popular misconception is that men who like to wear women's clothing must be gay. In fact, numbers seem to indicate that the majority of men who enjoy wearing women's clothing self identify as straight. Of course people can't always be looked at in terms of "the numbers" and there will be a wide variety of folks who defy the trends in any group. If you find out someone you know likes to dress in clothes of the opposite gender, have a conversation with them and find out what they like about it before making assumptions about what it may or may not mean about their broader sexual preferences and orientations, ok?

Ok sorry, Tim Curry had to end up in this post somewhere.

If you are a panty wearing man or a person who loves them you should check out He Wears Panties. This site offers reviews of panties, articles about what panties are flattering and how to come out to significant others as well as forums where you can participate in discussion. Now, go forth and look at sexy underpants!

You asked us, and we answer! That's right, it's time for a listener question show. A listener calls in to talk about how her vanilla boyfriend dipped his toe into her poly life.

Cosmo Mag-Tool of the Oppressor or Bringing out our Sexy Sides?

laura@sexisfun.net (Sex is Fun) — Thu, 29 Mar 2012 04:00:10 PDT

Check out this article analyzing a Cosmo Mag from 1991 and one from 2012. The article's author, Peter Lappin, is a "home sewing fanatic" and author of the blog Male Pattern Boldness. Peter's point is that the Cosmo 2012 describes women's fashion in much more sexual language than the Cosmo or 1991 which focuses more on words about love. His article does a really great job of questioning whether the emphasis on sexiness is empowering or demeaning to women. As someone who loves sex enough to study it and talk about it on multiple podcasts (thanks to Sally McGraw, one of my co-hosts on the Strong, Sexy & Stylish Podcast, for letting me know about this article!) you all know I am a sex positive person. But that doesn't mean I don't question Cosmo magazine and the importance our society places on women looking sexy. Who is all the sexiness for? Is it to improve the confidence and self-esteem of the readers or make them feel like they need to have to have 50 New Sex Tricks up their sleeves to be an attractive and desirable person?

Read the article and tell us what you all think! Women, do you feel pressured to be sexy in ways that don't feel empowering to you? Straight or bi guys, do you like Cosmo's sex advice? Would you want a girlfriend to read it and use it on you? Any lesbians/bi-girls want to give their opinions on what makes a sexy lady?

P.S. I can't wait to check out more of Male Pattern Boldness! Sewing and sex politics all in one blog? I'm there!

Meet the Naked Anthropologist

laura@sexisfun.net (Sex is Fun) — Thu, 22 Mar 2012 09:20:13 PDT

Have you heard about Laura Agustin? She addresses sex worker issues, often posting historical documents to support her position that "rescuing" or "rehabilitating" sex workers doesn't work since sex workers often choose their work, enjoy or value it and don't want to be rescued. She also asserts that "human trafficking" as the media portrays it basically doesn't exist. Her perspective comes across on her blog as interesting, always well researched and one we don't often hear in the media frenzy to make a dramatic story. Whether you agree with her standpoint or think she is way off base you should check out her writing.

SiF #324 - NRE

laura@sexisfun.net (Sex is Fun) — Mon, 19 Mar 2012 00:00:12 PDT

Coochie offers up some wonderful resources to learn how to tame your NRE and enhance it in your relationships.

The Beautiful Cervix Project

laura@sexisfun.net (Sex is Fun) — Thu, 15 Mar 2012 04:00:09 PDT

Hey Sex is Fun Listeners, you need to see the Beautiful Cervix Project! This is a series of photos of one woman's cervix through a monthly cycle.

This 25 year old woman has never given birth and has no history of STIs. Each photo was taken at approximately 10:00 pm every day starting the first day of her menstrual cycle. For the duration of this project, she used condoms as her birth control method so as not to introduce semenal fluid into the photoshoot. She did not use tampons or mooncups during her menstruation either.

If you've never see a cervix before, now's the time! Be warned, these are real internal body pictures and some do include blood as they illustrate her menstrual cycle.

Coochie is grateful that Jo does the work that he does. However difficult, the group talks about prevention as well as the silver lining.

Post Baby Sex and The Sexy Mamas

laura@sexisfun.net (Sex is Fun) — Thu, 08 Mar 2012 12:09:00 PST

Hey SiF Listeners,

Welcome to the first of what will be weekly posts from me, Laura Rad. Check here every Thursday for a post about what is on my mind at that moment (sex), amazing links I want to share (about sex) or (sexual) mysteries to ponder.

Today I am putting the final touches on my new class, Sexual Reconnect: Yes you can have a post-baby sex life! As I construct the class, one thing keeps coming up over and over; the importance of affectionate, supportive touch. Sometimes in life we are to exhausted, emotional or overwhelmed to rally for sex. In these moments holding hands with your partner, rubbing their back for 5 minutes or giving a hug can make the difference between feeling supported and feeling disconnected. Take some time to hold the hand of someone you love today. Awww. So sweet.

When you get your hand back you need to use it to go check out The Sexy Mamas! This is a sex positive blog for moms and thank goodness it exists. As a sex positive mama myself I have an incredibly hard time finding resources dealing with parenthood in a way that resonates with me. The Sexy Mamas have a great balance between topics on parenthood, topics on sex and topics that interest the thinker in all of us. Check them out!

See you next Thursday.

SiF #321 - Sex and the Five Senses

laura@sexisfun.net (Sex is Fun) — Mon, 27 Feb 2012 00:00:07 PST

Often times we jump right to the genitals when we have sex. Tonight, on Sex is Fun, Laura, Coochie and Gay Rick talk about adding and taking away things to pull your whole body into sex. Coochie talks about her experiences being blindfolded. Laura tells everyone about the smell of pussy. Gay Rick tells a couple of raunchy, risky, controversial stories.

Interesting resources for the sense of smell:
