From The Mailbag: Coming Out Kinky

Dear Parks, What do you think about being out/coming out as kinky? Any advice or tips on how to navigate being a deviant? Please visit soon, Milwaukee, WI I was not sure how much longer I would keep this blog fairly BDSM/kink-free. Recently, so many of my students and peers have been asking me about […]

Gloves: The Wonder Barrier

At this point in my life, I do not exchange fluids with anyone. Beyond makin’ out about it, I don’t want any of your fluids and I don’t want to give you mine. I practice safe sex as adamantly as I practice consent in my partnerships. I always have a bag of supplies on me, […]

Why Consent Needs to Be More Than “Sexy”

The “Consent Is Sexy” campaign is important. It is a positive thing for many reasons. I am glad it exists. I am glad that people are wearing the pins, are doing things like Slutwalk, and starting to talk about consent. I am glad that people like my dad, who grew up never having heard about […]

Why Sex and Love Should be Taught Separately

I have already discussed how “Sex” is a really subjective term, and is not reliable as a stand-alone vocabulary word for teaching. I want to make it very clear that I think that having sex with someone you love can be wonderful. I think sex is wonderful, I think love is wonderful, and when they […]

Defining Sex: Self-Identity, and Third Wave Musings

What is sex? How do you know when you have had sex with someone? What is the point of sex? Doin’ it is just so complex. It is. Honestly. I see sex as a process of communication. It’s about closeness, trusting others to respect you as you make yourselves vulnerable to each other. Sex is […]

Foods that make your fluids taste like capitalism

So there is this myth that eating a ton of clementines, a ton of pineapple, a ton of whatever miracle food will make your fluids taste like clementine/pineapple/miracle food. This is as untrue as the “Mountain Dew makes you sterile” myth. Your fluids are going to taste like body fluids. Your cum should not taste […]

Hi Everyone, Tomorrow I am going to the 40th anniversary of Our Bodies Ourselves. I am super excited. My mom is also coming with me, which should be wonderful/challenging/interesting/stressful/holycrapfeelings. She gave me her first edition copy of Our Bodies Ourselves when I was in 4th grade. It changed everything. I loved, and will forever love, […]

Fun Stuff Friday- Pixar’s “It Gets Better” Video

Yes, I know this project is socially problematic due to privilege, but this one always warms my heart. (Its Pixar, its sad and heart warming.) So grab your tissues, and enjoy!

The Care and Keeping of Your Collection

We have all been there. The “when was the last time I washed this? Eh, all well” moment. It may be okay when applied to your sweatshirt, but it is NOT right to use when it comes to sex toys. Just don’t do it. Take some extra time to prep and you will be better […]
