I take the bus a lot. With two off-campus classes to get to every week, I frequent the route that provides transportation between the colleges. Unfortunately, this means I have to listen to a lot of annoying conversations. Usually I can tune them out and focus on my knitting (yeah, I knit on the bus…so [...]
It’s the first question anybody asks me after finding out that I am a college student: “What are you studying?” The answer, for me, is not so simple. As a self-designed Human Sexuality major with a minor in Anthropology, I’m proud of my educational path. The problem is, it makes some people uncomfortable. Though many [...]
Halloween is here and as we all know from my post on sexy costumes last year, it’s hands down my favorite holiday. A friend of mine mentioned today that Autostraddle has recently blogged about some great (gay) costumes, so I thought I’d make up a list of my own! 1. Ellen and/or Portia Why wouldn’t [...]
This semester I’m taking a class called The Anthropology of Reproduction. It has opened my eyes to a range of new perspectives on birth, motherhood, and the role of the doctor. Something that particularly struck me was a common fact that was unbeknownst to me: that in the past, upon entering the hospital, most laboring [...]
To my own chagrin, I was pretty sure that the whole “go green” movement was just going to be another fad. However, I’m pleased to see that the drive to help mother earth has stuck around. I’ve read plenty of posts here and there on how best to go green between the sheets, but a [...]
I was recently down in Provincetown for two days helping out as a volunteer for Family Week, and as I expected, I saw some pretty blog-worthy stuff. Here are a few photos you will love:
As most of us who have ever tried a hormonal birth control know, it can often take a while to find the method that works best for you. For many, oral contraceptives are best, but for some, it’s better to not have to take a pill every day. To follow up my previous post about [...]
In my work as a sexual health educator, I often take for granted that people know what I’m talking about when I discuss the pill. However, I’ve learned that there’s a whole lot about contraceptives that people don’t know, so I thought I’d write a bit of a tell-all. I’m starting with oral contraceptives, as [...]
Usually I refrain from publicizing the fact that I am a huge celebrity gossip fan, but this was just too problematic to pass up. According to this extremely reputable (detect sarcasm?) website 411mania.com, Kristen Stewart is set to write, film, and star in her mother’s film about (and I quote) “an autistic transgender who gets [...]
As most of you who follow my posts know, my parter is a female to male transgender individual. Up until recently, he has continued to see his primary care physician, who is aware of Liv’s transition, but doesn’t specify in transgender health. As Liv is taking steps towards getting top surgery, the issue of transgender [...]
Loading ...Longtime MSP readers will know that we are big fans of Clarisse Thorn‘s writing: she intelligently tackles important sex topics such as BDSM, sexual submission, open relationships, and sex-positivity. So we of course were super-excited when her book, Confessions of a Pickup Artist Chaser, came out (available on Amazon and Smashwords and in paperback). Clarisse [...]
