So we’ve all heard about the recent vote in the House of Representatives to cut Title X funding, which would result in a lack of federal funds for Planned Parenthood. Obviously, there is a long list of reasons why this is a terrible idea. But rather than go on a feminist political rant, I’m simply going to link you guys to this article from The Stir that brings up some of the unspoken reasons. The obvious losses in a funding cut include a lack of women’s health care, access to birth control, exams, and pregnancy terminations, and a general slap in the face to women’s rights activists around the county, but I bet you didn’t think about how it might affect your sex life. Check out the article for the details! Continue Reading →

Need Some Help Getting In The Right Frame Of Mind For Sex?
Don’t worry! Pamela Madsen’s mind/body meditation can apparently help you get in the mood.

There’s no doubt that unenjoyable or painful sex is often connected to a psychological block (of course, that’s not the only explanation, as painful sex could be a sign of something more serious), and it’s often hard to get past those blocks.

It’s official: a blogging friend of mine, Alexander ‘Sasha’ Ahimsa, has embarked on a new project to promote sex-positivity. As he wrote on his blog Sex in the Pink,

New Uses For Old Christmas Decorations
The Christmas season is now upon us in full force. I was reminded of this as I walked into a drugstore today and was saddened to see that the Halloween displays that I loved so much had been replaced by ornaments and Christmas lights. Not that I don’t love Christmas mind you, but I do wish that it could be a little less obvious until after Thanksgiving at least. However, the drugstore seemed a little more interesting this time.
