SlutWalk St. Louis July 16
The SlutWalk movement started this April in Toronto, when a cop said: “women should avoid dressing like sluts in order not to be victimized.” In response, more than 3000 people took to the streets to demonstrate that being assaulted isn’t about what you wear. Thousands more have followed suit around the world. A tiny negative […]
Manning Up with Christopher Sean Watson
by David Wraith “Men continue to control the narrative and experiences of women, which leads to violence being an acceptable form of control.” If there’s a man I know with feminist street-cred, it’s Christopher Sean Watson. When I met him, he was a field organizer for Amnesty International, but check out his CV: He was […]

Nobody does it like Roseanne
At the Black and White party last week, I briefly mentioned Roseanne to David Wraith, as part of a conversation about Sandra Bernhardt. Wraith noted that he never really got into Roseanne. While I’m certain there are thousands of people out there like Wraith, I’m just as certain that there are thousands of people out […]

Evolved bendable You Too
There I was, innocently interviewing my friend Holli from Spanky’s on my The Beautiful Kind show, when, at the end of the segment, she asked if I wanted the crazy pink sex toy she had showcased earlier. You know, the one that looked like Pink Panther’s dick doing yoga. Yes, she hooked me up with […]

Writers are Sexy: Elva Maxine Beach
by David Wraith I adore Elva Maxine Beach! I first met her when we were both performing in a benefit she organized at The Way Out Club. She showed me her book, “Neurotica” and I immediately laid hands upon the woman and prayed for her salvation. Then I read the book and realized I should […]
Lessons from a Simulated Love Affair
This is a guest post from Robin, SEX+STL volunteer and mother of two. Please join us Monday, June 27 for our next Sex Positive Parenting group at Shameless Grounds, 7pm! My favorite Sim is a bit of a cad. Devon is high in charisma, but low in commitment. He has had 10 girlfriends, each of […]
Barack Obama, Gay Rights, and “Post-Mo”
Forgive me the stream-of-consciousness writing that is this blog post. I’ve spent the past few days writing an essay about Barack Obama’s progress on gay rights. It’s a frustrating task to undertake (especially in light of the events I’m about to write about). I like Obama and I think he’s made great strides in gay […]

Join a kiss-in tomorrow at LUSH to support gay marriage!
I tend to have mixed feelings about corporate-led protests, but I’m pretty fond of LUSH, a bath and beauty products company that aims to eliminate waste in their products, and makes everything with vegetarian ingredients. For full disclosure, we (meaning several of SEX+STL’s co-founders) have a friend who works at LUSH as well (although, to […]

Bodies, Bodies, Bodies! Gender-Inclusive Sex-Positivity
A guest post by Andy Semler If you were to peek into my bedroom window one evening, there’s a good chance you’d be greeted with the sight of two steamy-hot naked bodies (lucky you!). Mine: slender limbs, white skin, short hair, small breasts, hourglass waist. The other: muscular, white skin, short hair, large bone structure, […]
World Naked Bike Ride 2010
Last year’s World Naked Bike Ride: St. Louis was a bit of a revelation to me. There simply is no experience comparable to riding through the streets of your city with hundreds of other cyclists wearing costumes, underwear, or nothing. Tonight is World Naked Bike Ride 2011, so in order to stir up some excitement, […]
