de-centering PIV

Hi Reader, To achieve mutual pleasure & avoid pregnancy, one of the most important things we must do is de-center penis-in-vagina (PIV) as our collective definition of "sex". Here is an excerpt from the module on Pleasure Praxis in Conscious Contraception for the Fellas: Mind the Gap: Becoming Cliterate We know that PIV (penis-in-vagina) sex creates the biggest risk of unwanted pregnancy. What’s less commonly known is the well-documented fact that PIV is not the most reliable route for the...

Hello Dear Reader, You are receiving this email because you signed up for the waitlist of my apprenticeship / mentorship program.

Do you know what scares me? The rising tides of fascism, & marketing my work to a vast anonymous audience. This week I spoke to one friend who is an abortion...

Nobody talks about this

Y’all, If I had a dollar for every time I was talking about something related to sex, menstruation, or magic & my conversation partner exclaimed, “Nobody talks about this!” I’d have a fat cash stack, because it happens all the time. I know folks don’t mean literally nobody because, ahem, I’m somebody! What folks usually mean is, “I haven’t talked about this with anyone before!” Stigma & shame are at the heart of why. On the opposite end of that spectrum, my FoK Buddy Ruth & I have been having...
