. . . The Obamas represent change that most of us are hungry for, and in some cases, desperate for. So, here’s how Barack can put an end to the war on public school sex education and the sharing of accurate sex information to people of all ages:

This Comment marks the debut of “Carnal Knowledge,” a regular feature devoted to the subject of sex. Why sex? Like sports and art, sex elaborates, in its expressions and rituals, what it means to be human. Market culture understands this, which is why we have advertising and Paris Hilton. The right understands it, which is [...]

The federal government is proposing regulations that would effectively kill adult social-networking sites. This is being done under the guise of fighting child pornography. The proposed regulations would force adult social-networking services to obtain [...]

Chris Hedges (former Middle East NYT Bureau Chief) writes:
The denial of contraception, as is well documented, increases the number of unwanted pregnancies and abortions. And abortion is never going to go away. If it again becomes illegal, the rich, as in the past, will find ways to provide abortions for their wives, mistresses and girlfriends, [...]

By Tremayne Gibson and Rusty Mason
Sex: it is everywhere from magazine covers to television screens to billboards.

Ann Coulter’s Funny That Way… (Time)
Posted in ann coulter, john edwards, media, politics, speech on Mar 6th, 2007
Are straight people allowed to say “faggot”? Are white people allowed to say “nigger”? Generally no. Our unwritten speech codes require that those words be used only by gays and blacks, respectively (black gays can say both). Which is just as it should be: minorities can reappropriate slurs if it empowers them or even [...]

Abstinence-only sex ed finds few scientific fans (SF Gate)
Posted in abstinence, birth control, education, health, politics, reproductive rights, violetblue on Feb 11th, 2007
Mike Weiss, Chronicle Staff Writer
There is no good scientific evidence that teaching abstinence to teenagers will by itself prevent unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases, say the authors of a recent study. Yet they found that comprehensive sex education is declining and that more youngsters are being taught nothing more than abstinence.
As with similar debates [...]
To put it lightly, Texas is known for its unsavory reputation amongst the sexually progressive.
The bad rap is certainly warranted — my home state is home to abstinence-only education, Purity Balls, and middle-aged soccer moms arrested for selling Hitachi Magic Wands to their friends. Heck, NARAL gave us an F on abortion rights and contraceptive [...]
