Female Ejaculation Demo Recap!
As we walked up to the house where the female ejaculation demo was taking place, my partner muttered, “I feel like we’re attending a swinger’s party.” I laughed, “Why do you say that?” “We’re going to a random house in the suburbs, we’re carrying a bag full of sex toys, we’re about to witness a […]
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 […]

Travis Mathews on Gay Stories, Media, and His Kickstarter Campaign
Travis Mathews is easily one of my favorite people.

Ask the Man-Whore: The Insecure Virgin
by David Wraith Dear Man-Whore, I just want to say that I was inspired by the article you wrote about your penis size. Being a twenty-something guy who has always been insecure about his size six penis, I felt like that article was about me. Now if I can just work up the guts to […]
In Defense of Smut: Kate Lovelady on Ethics and Sexuality
Some people think that sex positivity is just a fancy term for an ‘anything goes’ sexual ethic — that people who describe themselves as sex positive don’t care about ethics at all. That’s of course, not true. But sometimes it’s easy to shy away from paying attention to ethics and sex, because traditionally that has […]
Why We Need Sex Ed – Fabulous Graphic
There’s a lot of talk about shutting down various reproductive rights in our country. This is based on fear and control coming from the patriarchy plaguing our society. (Patriarchy is the fear of the feminine and mature masculine.) These religious-based opinions are downright dangerous. Combating this ignorance are people like Jen and her team, who […]
Ownership of My Body
by David Wraith When I was in my 20s and weighed 168 pounds, I couldn’t pay someone to take pictures of me naked. Mostly because I was a college student, working in a video store and didn’t have the money. The strange trajectory of my life has brought me to a place where, as I […]
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? […]

Typography Porn
Penguin Classics recently released a new translation of Vatsyayana’s Kama Sutra. I must say that, despite have little interest in reading the book in the past, the new design makes me wish I owned a copy: The porno-typography is the work of illustrator Malika Favre, and the new edition “offers a compelling modern translation of […]
