Playing With the Big Kids!

In April, I will be presenting at the feminist sexuality conference momentum!

During MOMENTUM we will discuss ways to bridge the baffling dichotomies our culture creates around sexuality. While on one hand we have unprecedented sexual freedom, on the other we continue to police sexuality with a frightening vigor. Abortion laws, restrictions on gay marriage, abstinence programs, medicalization of sex, fear of pornography and prosecutions for teenage sexting are examples of one side of the spectrum. The discomfort that strives to make us keep our sexuality hidden conflicts with the use of sex — especially the female body — to sell everything from food to cars to “performance enhancing” products.

My workshop will be about using sex positive bdsm/kink negotiation practices to decrease sexual assault in young people, and I am thrilled that they are giving me a forum to present this idea.

See you then!
