When I took sex ed in middle school, our teachers put out a burning questions box, where anyone could submit questions, written anonymously on pieces of scrap paper, that our teachers promised to answer in class. To be honest, I can’t remember a single question that anyone asked, or any of the answers my teachers gave, … More From the Minds of Middle Schoolers
For those of you who don’t know: for the past seven months, I’ve worked in a sex shop. It’s a super nice sex shop, too. It’s well-lit and smells like essential oils and the staff is super knowledgeable (if I do say so myself). It’s clean and organized and stocks only body-safe sex products, meaning … More How to Buy a Sex Toy (or What I Learned from Working in a Sex Shop)
This is the first of a few posts on gender that I will be publishing over the next few months (or year…who knows! Gender is a deeply layered thing, and a difficult subject to encompass in one post, one interview, or even one book). Part of this gender project is to interview people of all … More Gender Interview 1: kat
Hello everyone! Happy February! First of all, let me assure you that I am working on a new post – working title: “How to Have Good Sex.” So stay tuned for that. In the meantime, I want to plug the other project I’ve been working on: that is, my reading list! I’m not currently in … More Announcement: Reading List and Gender Project
This post has a theme song, and it’s “Let’s Talk About Sex,” by Salt-N-Peppa. Not only because of its title, but because it’s actually a damn good song that covers a lot about sexual desire and things associated with sex. In a single verse, it mentions wet dreams, two methods of contraception (the pill and condoms), … More Let’s Talk About Sex
In my last post with a focus on internal anatomy, I described organs and processes associated with bodies that produce eggs. Today I continue with the other main type of body out there: the sperm-producing body. The biggest difference between these two types of bodies (besides the fact that one of them is equipped to … More Internal Anatomy 2: Featuring the Testes and Associated Organs
The suppression of sexual education in schools comes in many different forms, some more obvious than others. At the most obvious end of the spectrum we have schools that practice abstinence-only “education” or forbid teachers from showing students how to use certain forms of contraception (one clever guy got around this restriction by making a … More On Guns and Dildos
External body structures can be incredibly complicated: organs often have more features than we expect, and sometimes body parts are made up of hidden organs we don’t often think about. Of course, even while complicated on the outside, bodies become even more convoluted under the skin, which houses hundreds of structures with their own idiosyncrasies … More Internal Anatomy 1: Featuring the Uterus and Associated Organs
Finally! I’m so excited to present my second post on genitalia! Thank you all again for your patience while I worked on life things and neglected this blog. I’m trying to get more organized and better at juggling real life with my online commitments. But for now, I’m going to continue with the theme of external … More The Second Genital Post: The Penis
When I started this blog, I made it a goal to publish a post at least every two weeks. Unfortunately, it seems I’ve already failed to meet that goal. I have good excuses: I moved, I started a new job, I’ve been busy…but in the end excuses are excuses, not products. I have, however, started … More Interim Post: An Apology and a Link
