Consent

OH YEAH.

in 4 days, I'm leading a circle of roughly 50 young women (aged 12-18) on sexual politics and consent.

I'm both terrified and elated.

What do you wish you had been told when you were in highschool?

how to get off, and how to have outercourse. fuck high school sex ed and it's emphasis on penetration. (no pun intended.)

is this related to consent? kind of?

(ps i'm going to systematically comment on all your blog posts. maybe.)

Oh my god, please comment on all of my blog posts. Right before I came online I was like "Man, I wish I had the kind of blog people commented on, so I could ask them questions and they'd, like, answer them. That would be great."

The thing is that Shambhala (where the talk is happening) actually is super great for sex ed. There's even a similar talk at the end of each year that's just about female orgasm.
However, there's still a bunch of young teens getting drunk and getting horny for the first time and they could really use some guidance when it comes to being aware of their sexuality, their boundaries, and how to communicate those efficiently.

Molly and Monica and I are brainstorming today, so I'll let y'all know how it goes!
