How to Throw a Penis Party
I’ve spent the last five years throwing all sorts of clothing optional events. And you probably haven’t. I’ve sort of become an accidental expert on the subject, so if you’re in the St. Louis area and are in the market for a clothing optional event planner, I’m your man. If you’re outside the St. Louis […]
It Worked for Us: Starting a Successful Sex-Positive Group in Your City
Our society is confusing – we’re OBSESSED with sex, but we’re SO AFRAID of it. Just about everything thing you see in the media is ignorance or fear-based. Sex is censored, controlled, sensationalized, misconstrued… no wonder we’re confused! That’s why access to sex-positive education is SO critical. EVERY city should have a sex-positive organization where people […]

SEX+STL: They Get It!
Feedback from someone who attended our Sex-Positive Etiquette for Men class at Shameless Grounds, Nov 1, 2015: I had the opportunity to sit in on a Sex+Stl event regarding ethical conduct for men. It was the first event sponsored by this organization that I have attended and was conducted at Shameless Grounds in near south […]
The NEW Rechargeable Magic Wand
As you know, I’m a huge proponent of the Hitachi Magic Wand. I’ve used them for years. I say “them” because I had one for five years, then passed it on to a friend and bought a new one. I also have one at each household – my partner Matthew’s and mine. I use it […]
On Being Intersex… Or, I Am Not a Unicorn
by Leon Augustus Braxton, Jr. Many do believe that intersex people are like unicorns: a mythical creature that is rarely seen. Like unicorns, intersex has been largely unseen mainly due to the veil of secrecy and shame that intersex people feel. However, unlike the unicorn we are not a myth – we exist. Intersex people are […]

A SEX+STL Testimonial from M
M is a woman in her 20’s… I heard that the SEX+STL community was a good, welcoming one, and I caught a glimpse of that warmth at the Topless Tea Party. It’s hard to find a group of women who are truly, truly kind, but everyone was. Really. The veterans were happy to include the […]

A SEX+STL Testimonial from Kate
Kate is a woman in her 50’s… I’ve been a member of SEX+STL for about a year and 1/2 now. I call it Sex Education for adults (which in my opinion is sorely needed these days) and I’m especially impressed with their ongoing fight to promote healthy body image. I’ll never forget my first clothing […]
A SEX+STL Testimonial from J
J is a woman in her 40’s… The Bare as You Dare event held by SEX+STL has, thus far, been one of the most transformative experiences of my life. Having been raised in an extremely religious family (and taught all of the body shame and sex shame that seems to go along with that), and […]
Where are the Orgies?
The other day we got this message from someone: “I was just curious if there was anywhere (clubs, private parties, etc.), in which people are there to just enjoy sex. Perhaps orgy style, but more clean and fun. Please email any ideas you may have. Thanks!!” but when we wrote back, the email address was […]

Play Parties: What’s In It For Me?
A guest post by Henry Lee (This article is based on a talk I gave on March 16, 2014 at Shameless Grounds.) So what is a play party? Some people might say it’s just a nice term for an orgy, but it can actually mean a lot of different things. A play party is any […]
