Two New Comic Releases Face Sexuality Head On
Today is a pretty big day for socially-and-sexually relevant comic books. Anyone who is/loves/sleeps with/knows a comic reader knows that Wednesday is New Comics Day, but you might not know exactly what’s hitting the shelves at your local comic store, or how relevant these stories are.

How To Tell a True Porn Story
One of the lessons I’m going to give you in my writing talk tomorrow is a simple and important one: sit your ass in the chair and write. Ironically, I missed my own personal deadline for writing and posting this blog, so perhaps this is an important lesson in why I’m not perfect. Tomorrow’s event […]

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.
