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 […]

Taboo at The Hustler Club
by David Wraith The St. Louis BDSM scene had kind of a boom and bust year in 2011. FLOG, the fourteen year strong monthly play party, took an indefinite hiatus and later resurfaced as a non-play, social event. We saw the rise and fall of the much beloved Charenton Social Club as well as the […]
Fleshtivus Goes Viral
by David Wraith Not sure if “going viral” is the best phrase to use with regard to a clothing optional event put on by a sexuality organization, but that seems to be the case with our little Clothing Optional Meet Up, “Fleshtivus.” After Chad Garrison’s preview and follow-up posts on The Riverfront Times blog and […]
How to Throw a Clothing Optional Meet Up
by David Wraith Clothing Optional Meet-Ups (COMUs) may be the most popular regular event thrown by SEX+STL. People want to be naked and be around other naked people. Not only do we always get a great turn out here in St. Louis, but we also get a lot of interest from people in other cities […]
Happy Holidays! Love, Buck
Recently I was at Handlebar on Manchester, talking with somebody about drag shows and she mentioned that she wished that she could see an all-king show here in St. Louis. I looked at her, shocked. “What about Monday nights next door?”, I blurted, referring to Novak’s weekly king shows. She hadn’t heard of St. Louis’ […]
Ethical Polyamory in the Age of AIDS (and Other STIs)
by David Wraith This post is inspired by World AIDS Day and this post on The Beautiful Kind website. Those of you who know me have probably heard me refer to myself as a “free range, poly man-whore.” By that I mean that I am polyamorous, but not part of a closed poly circle or […]
Chasing Midori
by David Wraith Note: This is part two of my “I’m in Love with Midori” series. Part one can be read here. If you ask Midori where she lives, she’ll probably tell you that her mail is delivered to San Francisco, but she lives on an airplane. As a full time, traveling sex educator, Midori’s […]
I’m in Love with Midori
by David Wraith I’m not sure when I first became aware of Midori, but I’m sure it was some time in the mid to late 90s. Back then she was known as Fetish Diva Midori. I’m not sure when or why she dropped the “Fetish Diva.” Perhaps like P. Diddy’s “P”, she thought it was […]
SEX+STL Out Loud: Author, Marie Haynes
by David Wraith Some say the first rule of writing is “write what you know.” If this is true, then it’s safe to assume that St. Louis area author, Marie Haynes, knows sex, sadomasochism and… food. Her novel, Tasting Pleasure, is the tale of an American expatriate trying to launch a catering company in Great Britain. […]

by Johnny Murdoc Tonight, Ben Schuldt’s Responsible Public Debate and The Ethical Society of St. Louis are hosting a debate, “Is there a sacred dimension to human sexuality?” SEX+STL’s Anna Bent will debate Matthew Anderson, author of Earthen Vessels: Why Our Bodies Matter to Our Faith and contributor to the blog Mere Orthodoxy. I’m genuinely […]
The Anti-Pickup Artist
by David Wraith I used to jokingly refer to myself as an “anti-pickup artist.” In my 20s this was meant to symbolize my abject failure with women. I made a fool out of myself chasing women who had no interest in me (to stalkerish proportions), I was clueless about how to flirt and oblivious to […]
