The national Lesbian Health organization, plus sexual healing workshop

Oct 202011
 

Last year I learned about the The Mautner Project, The National Lesbian Health Organization based in the Washington DC aarea. Mautner Project promotes health and wellness for same-sex attracted women through educational and support services, and advocacy. Among the many things they Do, Mautner Project conducts:

  • support groups for lesbian, bisexual and transgender individuals coping with cancer and other serious illneesses
  • health education for lesbian, bisexual and transgender individuals
  • training and advocacy with health care professionals on issues and concerns facing lesbian, bisexual and transgender patients or clients
  • Research into the health realities and needs of same-sex attracted women

    • I had the opportunity to attend a workshop workshop at Mautner’s office, and was impressed by the warm friendliness and dedication of the staf.

    Tonight I will be offering a workshop on sexual healing for trauma survivors, as part of Mautner’s new tele-workshop series. I am delighted to be able to offer a little slice of support to Mautner’s clients and supporters.

    The workshop is free to all Mautner Project clients. Mautner requests a $5 donation from all others who listen live or access the recording later. The money goes straight to Mautner and helps them continue the fabulous, and much-needed, work they already do.

    Time: October 20 8 PM Eastern

I Love Talking About Lube!

Jul 122011
 

I say this all the time: Lube is really important. I think my friends get tired of hearing me say that. If they voiced their boredom, they might remind me that I call myself a toy maven, and that I should get back to talking about toys, pleasure anatomy, and all that good stuff.

Lube really is the anchor that can pull all that other juicy (pun intended) stuff together, though. It can make sex play easier, more fun, more pleasurable, and safer. It’s important whether you’re playing by yourself, or with others, with or without toys, and with or without safer sex barriers–such as condoms or gloves. Most people–talking mainly about female-bodied folks here–don’t produce enough of their own wetness to make things fun, comfortable, and long-lasting. Speaking of those safer sex barriers, dryness and friction can cause them to split, so using lube with barriers is essential to using them safely.

If you are one of those people who does produce a lot of lubrication and you find your sex play works just fine without it, by all means skip the lube, but please don’t skip it because you think you’re not supposed to need it.

There are dozens–perhaps even hundreds–of different lubricants on the market, and it can be tough to figure out which one you need.

IN this ttele-class I talk about different categories of lube and the pros and cons of each.

IN this class I talked about things to look for in your lube choices, as well as things to watch out for. What have you found in your own quest for the perfect lube? Do you have any shopping or usage tips for others?

Free tele-class, Thurs 7/7–All About Lube!

Jul 032011
 

Join me for a tele-class on one of my favourite topics–lubricants!

Lubrication is important for safe, comfortable, and, most of all, pleasurable sex. Whether you’re partnered or alone, lubricant will smooth the way to a happier, healthier, and longer-lasting experience.

Somehow, most of us have ended up with the idea, especially regarding female bodies, that our own natural lubrication should be enough. The amount of natural lubrication the vagina secretes varies from person to person, and even from time to time. Keeping a bottle of lubricant on hand ensures that sexy time can happen any time, regardless of wetness.

Male-bodied folks usually learn early in their solo sexual explorations that keeping things slippery makes life a lot easier. This knowledge doesn’t always make it into partnered sex, though.

Want to learn more about lubrication, including why it’s so important and how to find the right lube for you?

Join me on Thursday July 7 at 9 PM (ESt) for a free 30 minute tele-class, and I’ll give you all the basics for celebrating slipperiness.
