A year after reading it, I'm still thinking about The Winnowing Flame trilogy by Jen Williams. Fantasy with some sci-fi elements, lots of cool characters of all genders/sexualities, solid romance. I did like the first book best, but it did a good job sticking the landing.

there needs to be more media that engages with bisexuality and related sexualities like pansexuality, omnisexuality, polysexuality, and (imo) greysexuality and that goes for biromanticism/panromanticism/omniromanticism/polyromanticism/greyromanticism as well

There was a version of those breathless “we learned something new about sexualities” news articles that stirred me greatly as a teen, but it was about drag kings

There are literally zero health benefits to so-called semen retention. There is no such thing as porn addiction. You are being propagandized to by 4chan chuds who have a deeply rooted sense of shame about their bodies and sexualities.

Ladies (of all genders / sexualities), don’t be some man-baby’s emotional tampon. Be your own emotional tampon. Soak up all your anger at the patriarchy and squeeze it in the face of someone who deserves it.

xR My Fantasy Sex-Positive, Anti-Abuse Program You can tell from the above list that relevant community efforts have focused on raising internal awareness, consolidating useful information, and educating. If I were to get a grant or something (ha!), I would certainly look for ways to use it on a dedicated pro-sex, anti-abuse initiative, hopefully more expansive than a hotline, and considerably more extensive than a pamphlet. I've never developed this thought too extensively -- I hate to torture myself when I know there's no money for one of my ideas -- but I know I'd want my Dream Anti-Abuse Team to have the following qualities: * BDSM is obviously my main interest, because that's how I identify the core of my sexuality. But I have a strong interest in destigmatizing all forms of sexual expression practiced by consenting adults. Everyone involved in my initiative would emphasize that people of all genders and sexualities could come for help -- whether straight, gay, lesbian, bi, trans, asexual, BDSM, sex worker, polyamorous, swing, or whatever amazing fetish could conceivably come up. Ideally, I would personally try to shock the hell out of anyone before I agreed to work with them... because anyone whose face twists up or who gasps at the idea of any kind of consensual weird sex is a person who shouldn't be anywhere near altsexual abuse survivors. *T'd want destigmatizing alternative sexuality among the mainstream, especially mainstream anti-abuse organizations, to be a major focus -- so that abuse survivors could feel less anxious about being misunderstood while seeking help. So I'd need people who were willing to go out and charismatically shock the abuse officers at police stations, feminist organizations, college campuses, etc. I'd want us to be running everything from anti-stigma poster campaigns to sex communication workshops. * T'd want the program to be well-advertised to the general public, so that people who aren't in the community -- yet who are

KAP therapist first. * The annual Alternative Sexualities conference. This is a comparatively new effort from the Community-Academic Consortium for Research on Alternative Sexualities. They describe it as "a conference for clinicians and researchers, addressing issues around BDSM/Kink sexualities and consensual non-monogamies." 2012 will mark the fifth Conference on Alternative Sexualities. I was on a panel at the 2009 conference in Chicago, and I thought it was pretty awesome, but I am obviously biased. * Community workshops. Most BDSM communities in large cities have educational workshops. These teach SM-related ideas or skills such as community etiquette, how to use various types of equipment, etc. Every SM workshop I have ever attended has emphasized careful negotiation and has, at the very least, mentioned safewords. One workshop -- "The Emotional Aspects of BDSM Play," taught by San Francisco's EduKink -- gave a detailed list of ideas for how to tell BDSM from abuse, which I wrote down: 1) Consent. BDSM is consenting; abuse is not. a) Assuming consent was given -- was it informed consent? Did everyone know what they were consenting to? b) Was consent coerced or seduced from the partner? Did everyone feel like they could say no if they wanted? Was anyone worried about suffering negative consequences if they said no? 2) Intent. A BDSM partner intends to have a mutually enjoyable encounter; an abusive partner does not. a) Did everyone leave the scene feeling somewhat satisfied? 3) Damage. A BDSM partner tries to minimize the actual damage inflicted by their actions; an abusive partner does not. a) Did the two partners learn what they were doing before they did it? Did they learn how to perform their activities safely? b) Were the partners aware of the potential risks of their activities? 4) Secrecy. Abuse often happens in secret. This is the hardest one on this checklist, because -- due to the fact that BDSM is a very marginalized,

all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail -- sometimes including our own psyches and sexualities. Plus, if the only available patterns for kink emphasize something a person doesn't like, then that person will probably avoid kink. Note that in the research I linked to, for example, the percentage of submissive women was higher in samples from within the BDSM subculture than in samples from outside the BDSM subculture... perhaps because many BDSM subcultural gatherings emphasize female submission and thereby alienate women who are primarily dominant. Anyway, regardless... this is still the wrong question. In short, "inherent female submission" is the wrong question. Certainly, I've fought through a lot of personal fears about what my interest in BDSM meant for me as a feminist... but these days I have trouble understanding what, exactly, got me so upset. I can't believe how long it took me to outthink those fears. Now, it just seems instinctively obvious to me that: 1) The only reason these conversations happen at all is that BDSM, and especially submission, is seen as broken and problematic and screwed-up and a sign of weakness. What if we viewed S&M proclivities as a superpower rather than a perversion? What if submission and masochism, in particular, were viewed as signs of strength and endurance and emotional complexity, rather than weakness? 2) Sexual kinks don't necessarily affect one's performance in non-sexual fields. A sexually submissive woman won't make a bad CEO (at least, not because she's sexually submissive). I mean, come on, it's not like there aren't sexually submissive men in powerful corporate positions. When I was younger I remember being scared that, in some bizarre way, I was betraying women's liberation by being sexually submissive; this seems ridiculous to me now. That fear can only survive in a culture where people are looking for excuses -- no matter how flimsy -- to control and disempower women. Because it doesn't make any damn

possibly be BDSM! Because I'm not a BDSMer! Because BDSM is dirty.” But we shouldn't necessarily blame people for this instinct to reject and categorize: the instinct is one that comes from being scared and oppressed... because the social penalties for "getting it wrong" are high. Remember, those New York City dominatrixes thought they were "safe" from the law as long as BDSM didn't count as sex. But as soon as someone decided BDSM "counted as" sex, those dominatrixes were arrested. It's just one more example of how sexual stigma for "different kinds of sex" is constantly intertwined. No type of consensual sexuality can express itself freely until people agree that "among consenting adults, there is no 'should'." The Romans, those ancient imperialists, used to say: "Divide and conquer." When consensual sexualities are scared of each other, we will continue to be conquered. As long as "vanilla" people are afraid of "BDSM"... as long as "BDSMers" are afraid of being seen as "sexual"... as long as the social penalties for being a "slut" or a "whore" are incredibly steep... as long as sex workers are stigmatized and criminalized... everyone will be bound by these oppressive standards. ook The Embodied Side of BDSM versus Sex Although Part 1 was all about how the divide between "BDSM" and "sex" is often nonsensical, or purely political, or socially constructed... that doesn't mean that the divide does not exist. I once had a conversation about ignoring social constructs with a wise friend, who noted dryly that: "One-way streets are a social construct. That doesn't mean we should ignore them." Just because the outside world influences our sexuality, does not mean that our sexual preferences are invalid. Some polyamorous BDSMers have very different rules about having sex with outsiders, as opposed to doing BDSM with outsiders. For example, during the time when I was considering a transition to polyamory, I myself had a couple relationships where we were sexually

needed more guidance, she referred me to a center that gave orgasmic dysfunction "evaluations" at $1,500.00 a pop. I was earning $7.50 per hour at the time. I didn't go. I got up my nerve and talked to my mother, who had been extremely helpful and caring when I came out to her about BDSM. During the BDSM conversation, I'd been scared -- then I felt immense relief as Mom told me that there was nothing wrong with me, and reassured me that I wasn't "giving up my liberation." When it came to orgasms, though, she seemed unsure of what to say. She did at least tell me that she, too, couldn't come easily, which made me feel a little better. Most helpful was the therapist I found on the Kink Aware Professionals list -- an online list of doctors, lawyers, and other professionals who believe they understand alternative sexualities such as BDSM. I tried one therapist who didn't seem to get it, but the second therapist I saw was wonderful. He helped me through an enormous amount of my BDSM anxiety. The orgasm problem was thornier, but he didn't make any assumptions, and he did listen carefully, which was more than most people did. My therapist gently encouraged me to get a second opinion about my how my body worked, from a new gynecologist. Irrationally, I didn't. I suppose I still felt crushed by how the first gynecologist had reacted. I also hoped I'd learn to come as I explored BDSM more -- which turned out to be true. cK ORK VII. Figuring It Out In retrospect, I recognize that I went through a brief period where I had orgasms sometimes -- weak ones. But the orgasms were hard to hang on to because they happened during sex with my boyfriend. This would be the same boyfriend I described at the beginning of this piece, when I wrote: now I have the best boyfriend I've ever had. but just like every other one, he can't get me off. big dick? oral sex? tons of foreplay? kink? it's all there. Now I see, in retrospect, that not everything was there: neither of us had questioned

i might be delusional but i think that aspec people have a much deeper understanding about romantic and sexual love because of how much we have had to analyze it while understanding our sexualities

Well. Gay pop star (already difficult) Troye Sivan went out of his way to produce a video for his viral pop song that included people of various genders, races, sexualities and presentations. I think if a 20 something gay guy can make the effort, so can 30-50 year old scientists.

Sometimes people just don't think about it and end up creating all-white, all-male environments in STEM. Pretty easy to do, actually, unless you have to the intention not to.

What I'm talking about here is that Brockman was serving the interests of an openly white supremacist patriarch.

With all of that being said, please stop fetishizing and romanticizing SA victims and trauma survivors REGARDLESS of race, gender, and sexuality. Because male trauma survivors and SA victims of all races and sexualities exist, too. And yet most people don't them seriously which REALLY saddens me.

I mean even as a bi myself I think other sexualities should be allowed to compete in the athlons.

Would very much look forward to the demiathlon and the polyathlon and the aceathlon

There’s so much the world needs to learn and teach others on sex education! Different sexualities, hypersexuality, asexuality etc should all be taught safely and with an open mind. So many people carry around so much shame for things that are totally normal and/or shared experiences with others!

This is simplifying it to just straight and gay and not taking in bisexuality or pansexuality or other sexualities for sake of ease for explaining my thought process.

Sexuality is attraction to certain gender(s), NOT necessarily genitals.

Or at least thats how my brain thinks about it (2/2)

In addition to “queers also reproduce,” I feel some kind of way about the implicit idea here that a political party that doesn’t explicitly oppress minority genders/sexualities must be composed ONLY of minority genders/sexualities (and therefore, I GUESS, not be having babies)
