  • On the Internet, Nobody Knows You’re Vanilla | Midori | CarnalNation – So are people having sex and kinkier adventures than you? Sex creates enough inadequacy issues for most people and the net just feeds those fears. The truth is that some are, but most aren't.
  • For those who cannot see, erotica in 3-D – thestar.com – Her book Tactile Mind, which she hand-crafted herself, is meant to be felt up, to be precise. It is an erotic book for the blind and visually impaired, though it can be enjoyed by the sighted as well.
  • How to reclaim your privacy by disabling Facebook’s “Open Graph” – Simple Help – This very brief tutorial will show you how to disable Facebook’s latest “has some privacy issues” service, Open Graph…You can find a very nice summary of it here. What I will do is show you the steps required to block this new “feature” – which is enabled by default.
  • Kate Bornstein: When Bad Movies Happen To Good People | Out.com Features – In the hands of a better filmmaker, the '70s exploitation campiness would have made Luna’s point: Hate crimes suck. But, he failed. He wound up making a film that a large part of his potential audience considers a hate crime in and of itself.
  • Why You Should Never Pay For Online Dating « OkTrends – Today I'd like to show why the practice of paying for dates on sites like Match.com and eHarmony is fundamentally broken, and broken in ways that most people don't realize.
  • Rethinking Virginity Conference, 5/3 – Is there a sex-positive way to teach abstinence? What are the historical and cultural origins of the virginity ideal? How does a queer person lose their virginity? Does anyone even know what virginity really is?<br />
    <br />
    From debunking myths to defying norms, the Rethinking Virginity Conference will feature scholars and experts speaking about gender, sexuality, and the elusive concept of virginity.

torchedflag The LGBT Community Responds in Solidarity!

Where: In front of The LGBT Community Center, 208 W 13th Street, Manhattan

Please join us and demonstrate the true power of community!

Background:
On the morning of April 14, 2010 the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Community Center staff arrived to find a torched rainbow flag draped on the front of our building.
This act of hate must not be tolerated! Actions like this are menacing to our community and, if not addressed, can lead to an environment that allows more heinous acts, such as verbal attacks, property damage and physical violence. Showing our solidarity now will empower our community and send a message to the public that we will not be intimidated or threatened.

Cowardly acts of hateful speech must be responded to with acts of courage and unity.

Updated Attendees:
The Center has partnered with City Council Speaker, Christine C. Quinn, New York City Comptroller, John Liu, Rainbow Flag’s creator, Gilbert Baker and other elected officials in conjunction with other organizations to bring together our community and unfurl a new 20 foot long flag that will drape the building (please visit gaycenter.org/torchedflag for the most up to date information).

On Wednesday, April 21st at 5PM we will gather together as one to prove that we will not sit idly by while our home is threatened. We invite our straight allies to stand with us to demonstrate that LGBT safety and rights are not just an issue for LGBT people. Our city is strong and we need to come together to show that we cannot be intimidated.

The Center is a beacon of safety and hope for LGBT New Yorkers and our building stands as an emblem of our community’s presence in the city. The Center is visited over 300,000 times every year by people in search of support, safety and transformation. More than 1,000 young people come through our doors annually searching for acceptance and a place where they feel comfortable expressing their true selves.

This is a lab-environment setting and we will practice on one another. Please be open to both tie and be tied for the sake of education. Please wear comfortable clothing as there is no nudity during the class.

Sign up now as places are expected to fill quickly! Beginners to advanced rope players are all welcome!! If you have never tried rope before, but are curious, this is a safe space to share and learn rope bondage.

DeLano is dedicated to using his years of experience in the bondage scene to help others enjoy their time in rope more safely and fully. He has presented locally in NYC and for events around the country on rope bondage and on other topics. DeLano is the Junior Instructor for Midori’s Rope Bondage Dojo ® weekend intensives, and he co-moderates the Japanese RopeArt and the Shibari Enthusiasts Yahoo groups. He’s also co-presented with Michele Serchuk on their photographic collaborations in bondage imagery.

DeLano has had a life-long desire for rope bondage and explores that through his Web site,www.delanobound.com. This is his personal exploration of the art, spirituality, physicality and psychology of his bondage journey as well as the nature of the connections he shares with his rope partners (both as a bottom and as a top).

boatbenefit Michele Capozzi Boat Benefit

Presented by the Pleasure Salon, The Porno Jim Show and Selina Fire

Location: The Slipper Room, 167 Orchard Street (corner of Stanton), Lower East Side. NYC
Google Maps http://bit.ly/d1axdI
Cost: $20

Please join us in supporting Michele Capozzi, famed director of Pornology New York, a mainstay of the New York classic porn community. Recently he lost his houseboat at the NY Boat Basin, where he’s been living for three decades. This fundraiser aims to help him get a new boat, and thus continue to live here in New York City as a valued member of our community. Many key members of the porn and sex-positive community know and love Michele, and we’ve gathered together to help one of our own in his time of need.

At the event we’ll have host Porno Jim with an amazing presentation of porn clips and burlesque performers, an exceptional silent auction with classic porn memorabilia and performances from some of our most famous porn stars and sex-positive activists. We’d love you to attend what promises to be a wonderful party, for this worthy cause.

The show is going to be great. The funny and charming Porno Jim will MC, with an array of clips of classic porn, including films Michele produced, co-produced and directed, interspersed with burlesque performances. Veronica Vera and Kate Bornstein have also agreed to perform during the show, which we’re thrilled about.

For more information, you can also visit our web page at http://www.boatbenefit.com

11 e[lust] #10

Welcome to e[lust] - The 10th edition! Your source for sexual intelligence and inspirations of lust from the smartest & sexiest bloggers! Whether you’re looking for hot steamy smut, thought-provoking opinions or expert information, you’re going to find it here. Want to be included in e[lust] #11? Start with the rules, check out the schedule in the site’s sidebar and subscribe to the RSS feed for updates!

~ This Week’s Top Three Posts ~

Negotiation – Not Nearly As Awkward As Having a Breakdown in Public – All the worries about getting to know a new person (“Am I dressed ok? Are they gonna like my stories about my grandma?”) get exaggerated when you’re talking about sex and desire…

Dollar Store Domme – He definitely can’t elude the dollops of toothpaste I dab onto his nipples. It takes a delicious second before he feels the cool burn penetrate his flesh. By that time I’m already up and selecting a plastic spatula from the credenza.

The Best of Both Worlds or Lost in Limbo? – Whether intentional or unthinking, bisexual denial is a frustrating thing for bisexual, pansexual or ‘fluid’ people to have to deal with.

~ e[lust] Editress ~

Navigating Genderqueer in Suburbia – But pray tell how do the rest of us navigate it? How the hell am I supposed to know if you identify as male or just like dressing like one?

~ Featured Post (Lilly’s Pick) ~

The Daddy Issue: Sexualizing Abuse – I needed to walk through this fear, and turn it into pleasure. I needed to prove to myself that he hadn’t broken me. That he hadn’t changed who I was to become. That I was not affected by what he did. That he didn’t abuse me.
