It’s that time again! June is Pride Month and we’re looking for a few loud and proud sex positive peeps to march with us in this year’s Pride Parade. Our sex positive army is growing and what better opportunity for a show of strength that will act as a deterrent to the forces of sex negativity? […]

The Gateway Burn
by David Wraith Many people are familiar with Burning Man, the annual weeklong festival that draws as many as fifty-thousand people to the Nevada desert each year. What fewer people know is that all over the country there are regional “burns” (smaller, weekend camping events inspired by Burning Man) based on the same creativity, non-conformity […]

Your Favorite Film (IN BED !!!)
Porn parodies are one of favorite sections of Spanky’s Video on North Lindbergh. I love how watching one of them keeps you from ever looking at the original the same way again! Lately, I’ve been able to watch a couple of parodies. One was fantastic (like its original) and one was a bust (like its […]
SEX+STL Discussion Group: Sex-Positive: What Does It Mean?
by David Wraith When we started Sex Positive St. Louis in 2010, some people heard the words “sex” and “positive” put together and assumed we were an organization for people living with HIV. Some suggested that we change the name. We decided early on that the term “sex positive” was so powerful and meaningful that […]
Queen of Hearts: Naked Dessert Bar
by David Wraith Two things in life that you don’t have to sell are sex and chocolate. They sell themselves; you merely have to offer them. So, you’d think that selling delicious, chocolate-covered desserts off the nearly naked bodies of some of St. Louis’s hottest bloggers and performers would be a no-brainer, right? One question? […]
SEX+STL Stands With Planned Parenthood
News recently broke that the Susan G. Komen Foundation was pulling $700,000 worth of funding from Planned Parenthood, money that was used to give women access to affordable or free breast cancer screenings.

Gateway Burners and Arch Reactor Present: Fire & Ice, Jan. 21st
by David Wraith Most people are at least somewhat familiar with Burning Man, the annual festival in the Nevada desert that culminates with the burning of a giant effigy. However, few people outside of the Burning Man community are familiar with regional “burns,” or the smaller, Burning Man inspired events that occur all over […]
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 […]
Big Ups, Mad Props and Sincere Thank-You’s
by David Wraith SEX+STL started in late 2010, so 2011 represents our first full calendar year of existence. As the year draws to a close, I want to reflect on the fact that it takes way more than four people to keep even a small, not for profit, unlanded, grassroots organization like SEX+STL going strong.
