This weekend, I’m attending BlogHer 2010 in New York City. Yours truly will be the token lesbian participating on the Bringing Sex Out of the Closet panel. So far, my free Gap wardrobe has been the highlight of all the pre-event happenings. (disclosure: Gap was generous enough to give me a lot of new clothes for free, but I’m not obligated to blog about it or mention it at all.)

Enszer Discusses Sexy Book of Poetry http://sisterstalk.net/blog/2010/04/feminist-lesbian-poet-julie-r-enszer-discusses-sexy-book-of-poetry/ http://sisterstalk.net/blog/2010/04/feminist-lesbian-poet-julie-r-enszer-discusses-sexy-book-of-poetry/#comments Fri, 16 Apr 2010 00:35:53 +0000 Genia http://sisterstalk.net/blog/?p=3437 Caution: This podcast uses explicit adult language. Listeners should be age 18+ to listen to this podcast.

Julie R. Enszer joined us on SistersTalk Radio to discuss her first book of poetry, Handmade Love.

In her first collection, Julie offers poems that are as unabashedly erotic as they are feminist.

Whether responding to queer cultural icons, fantasizing about sex, or mourning illness and loss, these poems are sweet, sultry, fierce and tender.

I hope to get that interview rescheduled before I leave #CC10, but all was not lost.

I had an opportunity to speak with Dr. Jaime Grant, the NGLTF’s Director of the Policy Institute. Dr. Grant was able to answer a burning question for me: What’s with all the sexual liberation workshops at the Creating Change conference? We also spoke about transgender issues and the importance of the census.

More #CC10 updates to come. I’m tweetin’ #CC10, so follow me if you’re interested in all the great things going on at #CC10 in Dallas, TX.

I found a couple of amusing articles (here and here). Some of you might find it odd that Bitch (a self-proclaimed feminist magazine rag) refused to run the following advertisement because (supposedly, since we don’t know for sure) it’s displaying a hairy bush:

Personally, for me, a hairy bush is a dealbreaker. But I don’t claim I’m a feminist magazine published to empower all women, so I can say that.

In my opinion, it’s not the hairy bush that bothers the folks over at Bitch. It’s the hairy bush peeking out of a pair of pink panties that bothers them. If that hairy bush was visible through the opening of a pair of plaid boxers, we wouldn’t be having this discussion. True hairy feminists don’t wear pink undies, correct?

Of course I’m joking.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. The Bitch rag can do whatever it wants and reserves the right to refuse any advertisement. But, does anyone else find it odd that a feminist magazine that’s struggling to pay its bills wouldn’t run an ad like this one? It seems pretty harmless to me, but then again, I’m not one of those kinds of feminists so I wouldn’t understand what “harmless” means to them.

And yep, I used the qualifier “those kinds” to describe those kinds of feminists. We’ll be discussing this more on SistersTalk Radio Monday night. Join us!

Update:
One of my Twitter followers said “Though, rather than the hair it may have been the male stereotype on the front of the panties that did it.”

Since we don’t know for sure, let’s assume (hypothetically, of course) that the reason Bitch refused to run the ad is because it supposedly objectifies women. Pfft! Call me an objectifier then because I love pretty pink vaginas – and a whole lot of sex positive lesbians would agree with me.

Have You Seen It Yet? http://sisterstalk.net/blog/2009/10/the-yes-no-maybe-sex-list/ http://sisterstalk.net/blog/2009/10/the-yes-no-maybe-sex-list/#comments Thu, 22 Oct 2009 17:00:53 +0000 Genia http://sisterstalk.net/blog/?p=2461 Andrea and I are preparing for SistersTalk Radio’s 1st anniversary episode.  We’re celebrating our first year the same way we started the show a year ago:  great conversations about lesbian sex.   Felice Newman, author of  The Whole Lesbian Sex Book was our very first guest and she’ll be joining us for the celebration on Monday, October 26 at 7pm CST.

We’d like your help to make Monday’s show a success – and a whole lot of fun!  Felice has published a YES, NO, MAYBE list full of all sorts of hot sexual activities.   We’d like for you to check out this list and tell us the top 10 things you would love to try with your partner and the top 10 things you wouldn’t dream of doing with anybody – not even that smokin’ hot coworker you fantasize about all the time.

Here’s My 10 Things That Would Make Me Say “Hell Yes, I’d Do That!” list:

body paint
breast whipping
fellatio with a strap-on
making porn
multiple orgasms
playing with sex toys
sixty-nine
strap-on sex
threesome
whipping

And here’s my 10 Things That Would Make Me Say  “Oh Hell No, Don’t Even Ask” list:

age play
anal penetration
anal play
double penetration
enemas
golden showers
knife play
licking feet
rape scenes
shaving (someone else, not yourself)

I just realized just how vanilla I really am.

Join the fun! Copy the entire list, highlight all your yes answers in green, no answers in red and maybe answers in yellow. Send us your completed list and we’ll compare everyone’s answers so we can see whose house we definitely want to stop at the next time we’re traveling. Just kidding! We won’t use your name on the show (we promise) and we won’t judge you (no matter how freaky you are!) so be honest.
