No, No, I Am Indeed Laughing at You
by Anna Karl: Not funny ‘ha-ha’, funny queer. Vaughan Cunningham: Well that’s a very offensive way to put it. You shouldn’t say that.

Let’s Talk About Sex, Baby: Part Two
by Johnny Murdoc In the last part, I wrote about primary method that my partner, Evan, and I used to facilitate discussions about sex, which involved regularly reading the weekly Savage Love column to one another.

Right On, Taylor Momsen…
by Johnny Murdoc So, I know it’s somewhat irresponsible to take a break from posting the next installment of a series—especially when it’s only the second installment—but I wanted to share this quote.

by Anna One of the subjects that has been floating in the background of my sexual conciousness is female ejaculation.

That Poly Guy: Part 2, My Poly History
