Sex Positive

Children born with atypical sexual anatomy will now have their gender left blank instead of being categorized as male or female. To avoid this, parents may hastily opt for "normalizing" surgeries.

As a “plus sized”/fat lady, I have some unique needs when it comes to sex toys that my thinner peers don’t experience.  Often times I think that some of these issues/unique needs are very much ignored by the sex toy industry.

It’s simple stuff, mostly, and you don’t need some Sex Expert to dispense Sex Wisdom to know it: Be honest. Ask permission before touching things that aren’t yours. Be safe. Don’t bully or make fun of people. Don’t throw tantrums when you don’t get everything you want. Keep your promises. Use your words. Brush your teeth. Really, this is the whole foundation of my sexual ethics. It’s not Betty Dodson and it’s not Susie Bright. It’s Fred McFeely Rogers.

A friend of mine was in a relationship about 2 years ago. He’s a guy. His girlfriend at the time pressured him into doing oral sex by saying that if he didn’t do it that meant he didn’t love her. Would that be sexual abuse? Because if a guy pressured a girl into giving him a blow job that would be considered sexual abuse and I’m just double-checking to see if that goes both ways.

According to a recent study, women may enjoy a spicier sex life after they receive breast implants.

Although the study size was small, researchers found that women experienced a significant boost in their arousal and sexual satisfaction after they had the surgery.

However, researchers also found that women who were left with stretch marks after the procedure did not experience any improvement in their sex life.

Imagine a prenatal test that, like the one for trisomy 21 (Down's syndrome), could show a predisposition to gayness.

...Sure, it ought to be the case that defending the rights of parents to use this technology doesn’t ultimately undermine queer rights, but it seems hard to believe that in practice it won’t lead to support of the idea that one ought to try not to have a gay child—just as in practice the prenatal test for trisomy 21 (Down's syndrome) has led to a general attitude (at least among the vast majority of my very “progressive” childbearing acquaintances) that one ought to try not to have a child with trisomy 21. I have a friend whose young son has trisomy 21. This friend was out and about with her son one day when another woman looked at her and her son and—recognizing that the son has Down's syndrome—scolded my friend with the question, “Didn’t you get the test?!” I can fully imagine a scenario where, 30 years from now, a woman tells a friend her son has come out as gay, only to have the friend respond, “Didn’t you get the test?!” Could we really imagine that offering such a test would have no negative impact on how an already-homophobic culture views people who are gay (and their parents, for that matter)? In that sense, can we really imagine that supporting parents’ right to choose against homosexuality supports the message that gay people are as good as straight people?

We’re told that if a woman shows too much of her body men will do stupid things. Let’s be clear: A woman’s body is not dangerous to you. Her body will not cause you harm. It will not make you do stupid things. If you do stupid things, it is because you chose to do stupid things.
