The promo videos and other buzz have had me excited about this Saturday’s Savage Tarot II event. Besides the fact that the generous artists are donating 20% of sales to SEX+STL, the images are just fucking stunning. The Savage Tarot is a full, 78 card tarot deck that Michelle originally created as a limited edition […]

Imagining the Worst
SEX+STL Parenting Discussion – Sunday, May 20th, 3-4:30 at the LGBT Center (map) This post is on a parent’s concern about sexual abuse, but the discussion is about raising sex-positive kids in general. I remember playing at the Kings’ apartment. We were romping around – I, my friend Aaron and his older brother Kimani – […]

In Defense of Smut: Kate Lovelady on Ethics and Sexuality

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 […]
Capturing Your Sexy Self on Film

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.

SEX+STL Out Loud: Author, Marie Haynes

Her novel, Tasting Pleasure, is the tale of an American expatriate trying to launch a catering company in Great Britain. […]
The Randy Dandies find the Pearl: an interview with Mimi Le Yu
When I found out that Mimi Le Yu, one of my favorite burlesque performers, was fronting a new troupe called the Randy Dandies, I couldn’t keep away from their show Melons and Meat Sticks: a Dandy Backyard Burly-Q. It was one of the best shows I’ve every seen. The storyline was entertaining and better developed than […]
Ethical Monogamy
by Anna This past Sunday’s Coffee Talk on monogamy was exciting for me not only because it was the first one that I have been able to attend, but also because it covered a topic that has been on my mind for the past couple of years. Most of my romantic relationships could be described […]
