A Message from the Leaders of Sex Positive St Louis
Sex Positive St. Louis is a non-partisan organization. While we reserve the right to fight for the political causes we believe in, in our six year history we have not seen fit to endorse any particular political candidate or party. That said, in light of our most recent election, we feel the need to publicly […]
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 […]
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 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 […]
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 […]
Pussy Party 3!
We keep having awesome events in St. Louis! Let me tell you something about hosting edgy, sexually themed events in the Midwest – it’s a little bit frustrating. First of all, you get the idea, or the request from someone in the community. You can’t execute it immediately – you have to plan ahead in […]
Are Single Men Welcome at SEX+STL Events?
With our next clothing optional party coming right up (2nd Annual Fleshtivus!), we’ve had quite a few inquiries from folks new to SEX+STL. Here is an example: Dear SEX+STL, I’m a 45-year-old man who has had a reasonably happy sex life so far, though I started late (at 23). One reason for this late start […]
Play Piercing 101
Ed Note: This is a guest post by Courtney, a professional piercer at TRX Studio on S. Grand in celebration of International Body Piercing Day (June 28)! Body piercing has long been used by humans as a way to decorate our skin. Be it to identify ourselves with a group, express our individuality, or to […]
HypnoGasm: Trisha’s Story
Ed Note: On Monday we interviewed Eric Kendall, hypnotist. On Wednesday we featured Robin’s story. Today is Trisha’s turn! When I first asked Trisha to share her HypnoGasm story, she asked for it to be posted anonymously, which I was happy to do. But a few minutes later, she emailed me again, declaring, “on second […]
HypnoGasm: R’s Story
Ed Note: On Monday we interviewed Eric Kendall, a sex hypnotist. SEX+STL volunteer R shares her very personal experience. I’ve always been interested in hypnosis and I’m also interested in sex, so when I saw that Shameless Grounds was hosting something called “HypnoGasm”, I knew I had to convince my boyfriend it was the perfect […]
You Are Getting Horny: An Interview with Eric Kendall, Sex Hypnotist
I heard there was a sex hypnosis show at Shameless Grounds a while back, and was totally bummed I missed it! So I tracked down the hypnotist and asked him a bunch of questions. Eric Kendall offers “HypnoGasms” – you can check out his website (currently under construction) Q: Is it fair to say you […]
