What led you to become a sex educator?
My own enjoyment of sex; my own niche of helping people to live a life they love, to honor their gifts, their desires and to shed the restrictive cultural rules and norms for those that are empowering. I have been ‘kinky’ forever and was in the dark [...]

What led you to become a sex educator?
At nineteen I not only started my life as a sexual person, but I also met and feel into a relationship with a woman who took me to my first BDSM conference, where she was teaching. I attended her classes at her request and found myself answering questions [...]

As you may have heard, the news is all worked up about a study showing that an abstinence-based sex education program is effective at encouraging teens to delay having sex. And, of course, the abstinence-only crowd is jumping on it, too. (Thanks to Feministing for the legwork on digging up the links!)
Of course, there’s a [...]

I recently found out that the fabulous Em & Lo hosted a 10-part TV series for a British channel. SEX: How to Do Everything is a fun romp through the world of sexuality. I’ve seen the trailer and I’m looking forward to checking out more of the series.
Since British TV is a bit different than [...]

My partner is complaining because once inside her I come too quick (5-10 minute). I’m 44 yo and in pretty good health. What is normal? and how can i last longer when penetrating her? Also – you should know i have a stronger sex drive than her. We only have sex about 2-3x / month. [...]

This showed up in my in-box and sounded interested, so I thought I’d pass it along. I’m told that they’re looking for a few more short films, preferably narrative/experimental that have been made by sex workers about sex work. Feel free to get in touch with them directly at birdcagecollective@gmail.com.
LET’S DO IT! – a night [...]

What led you to become a sex educator?
One day in my college “Human Sexual Behavior” class, an educator from Planned Parenthood put a condom on her hand, a little past her wrist. She said “if a guy ever tells you a condom won’t fit, do this. And if he has a penis bigger than this? [...]

What led you to become a sex educator?
I understood that an expansive sense of self comes from exploring and accepting who you are as a sexual being. Sexual discovery has allowed many people to live with an ease and comfort in who they are which may allow them to be the envy of others. Many [...]

What is the proper way to use a cock ring. My partner has had trouble keeping an erection and I wanted to try to use one.
Cock rings are used to restrict blood flow out of the penis, which creates a sensation of tightness and pressure that many people find pleasurable. Although some people find that [...]

I have no complaints about my sex life, but after a few years with my boyfriend, it would be great to spice things up. Problem is, I’m not very creative. Any suggestions (that aren’t cheesy or too cliché)?
This is always a tricky question to answer, since I don’t know what [...]

I ran across a link to a really great post on Scarleteen, which is a fantastic sex ed for youth website. Much of the site is in the Q&A format, and this page was no different. The question came from a young woman who is considering becoming a Christian and had concerns about how her [...]

What led you to become a sex educator?
I have been teaching for about 10 years in academic circles, so the teaching part is part of who I am.  I came into Sex education through Dark Odyssey.  I have to credit the kindness and faith of Tristan Taormino for giving me the opportunity to share what [...]

What led you to become a sex educator?
I wish I could say there was one huge shinning moment that leads me to my desire to be a sex educator, but sadly there was not.  There were a few things that did help guild me here.  The first of which was the need.  I had way [...]

Via Carnal Nation
The fact that a lot of money gets spent on erection pills isn’t news. And there are lots of reasons why someone might choose to use them. But one common reason is the desire to improve “male sexual performance”.

The focus on sexual performance is problematic for several reasons. When sex is a performance, [...]

What led you to become a sex educator?
An intellectual epiphany. At San Francisco State University I was the Queen of Intro Courses: journalism, business, art, etc. One semester I took Introduction to Human Sexuality. The very first topic? Legal battles over intersex children’s rights and genital reassignment surgery. I swear, the heavens opened up and [...]

Over the last several years, I’ve been exploring the ways in which sexuality and shame relate, as well as how a deeper understanding of these topics can enrich our understanding of sex-positivity. As part of this process, I’ve developed a couple of workshops on the topic and I’m pleased to announce that I’ll be offering [...]

What led you to become a sex educator?
I was personally curious about learning more about sex because I did not receive any sex education growing up in Singapore. I missed out on biology completely because I was in the Arts stream. The compulsory annual school assemblies I attended through my secondary school were on why [...]

It’s hardly news that US culture is obsessed with youth. The massive amount of advertising for products to make us look or feel younger is ample evidence. While we generally think of this as more of a factor in terms of how we evaluate female attractiveness, the fact that we often consider men to be [...]

“I am sexually active and I am able to have clitoral orgasm by myself or with the right partner but I can’t seem to have a G-spot orgasm. I’ve never had an orgasm during sex without clitoral stimulation. I still really enjoy sex even without orgasm but I want to experience [...]

I have a friend (and yes it really is my friend) who had a boyfriend for 3 years. Throughout the 3 years, they never really had sex because it hurt her way too much. She says any kind of penetration is extremely painful for her and not enjoyable. She recently broke up with her boyfriend [...]

What led you to become a Sex Educator?
Sex was never a taboo topic in my family, but I never would have guessed that this would be a career for me. I started talking about sex within the context of HIV/AIDS and for some reason, I had a talent in making people feel comfortable with typically [...]

SFPD Chief Gascón

San Francisco Police Chief George Gascón is reported to have suggested putting mugshots of men arrested for paying for sex on a web site to shame them in order to discourage other men from doing the same. The use of shame to try to control sexual behavior has a long history and no [...]

We recently received a question about the word cisgender in the blurb for the hot new movie Crash Pad Series Volume 5: The Revolving Door. Since I’m sure that lots of other people have similar questions, I thought I’d explain what the word means and why we used it.
Cisgender refers to people who experience and [...]

What led you to become a sex educator?
I was ordained a Catholic Priest in 1975.  I decided I wanted to do an upfront gay ministry in 1978.  The religious community I belonged to told me they would sponsor me, but I needed to get an advanced degree.  They didn’t want to put me forward simply [...]

“I keep hearing about women who can have ‘multiple orgasms’ and I can’t figure out exactly what this means. Does it mean a woman who can have more than one orgasm in a night? One orgasm after another with little downtime? (Is that even possible? Most women are so [...]
