This Wednesday is already the last one of the month! Which means it is time for my monthly online event – Soft Touch Intimate Craft Crossover. This month, the theme is zine making. Without fully knowing that is what I was doing, my friends and I made our first zine in 1991 with a typewriter…
As a student of somatic sex education I find myself prompting students and clients to notice sensation in their bodies in the ways that I have learned to practice through studying in this field. It took me some time to get to the place where I could understand that the assignment was often just to…
A few months ago my pierogi (a term of endearment for one of my polyamourous partners) Caitlin, came to Jess and I with an idea.

I got a message from a friend whose kid saw a character in a book that reminded her of me. This tells about the book and discusses the importance of queer and trans representation in children’s media.
Sex education in schools has long had a well earned reputation for being … less than ideal. My own experiences of school based sexual health education were nearly non-existent. As I was pretty involved in a conservative Christian community through my childhood and teen years, when the permission letters were sent home to give families…
July’s Show and Tell is taking a new turn and focusing on one specific type of toy. As one of the newest sort of categories of sex tech, air-pulse toys also called clit-suckers have really only been on the market for the last 12 or 15 years. Some on the market incorporate even newer technology,…
