Does age difference matter?

Several weeks ago a young woman contacted me. With her permission, I am posting her question:
Karen, there is this guy I like a lot and I think he likes me a lot. We work together and I really [...]

Talking vaginas and orgasms

I am going to the Vagina Monologues in Austin this evening, and I am very excited about it!  This will be the first time for me to see the play, although I have wanted to for some time.  There are still tickets available, and at $15 they’re a great deal!  Eve Ensler will be there [...]

What I learned at SXSW

I learned many things at SXSW Interactive.
First and foremost, of course, I learned that geeks are a lot of fun. There were interesting and relevant panels starting at 10am everyday, and when they ended at 6pm, the parties started and went until 2 or 3 or 4 in the morning. The networking and [...]

Peeping Tom or child porn?

The Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals ruled that a man taking a picture up the inside of a 16-year-old girl’s skirt in public is not illegal.  How is this even possible?  Apparently he was charged as a Peeping Tom - and apparently that law only applies to places where someone can reasonably claim privacy - [...]

1 in 4 US teenage girls has an STD

I hate it when things happen when I’m out of touch. On Tuesday, March 11th, the CDC came out with a press release that 26% of US teen girls has an STD.
This headline (just like my blog post title) is being widely spread and highly freaked out over. But there’s more in the [...]

Wow! I must say, I did not think that SXSW would be what it was. Thanks so much to Wendy for taking the reigns while I was away!
SXSW was:
First: an amazing networking experience. I think my favorite online-sex-blogger connection was with Lux Alptraum. Lux writes Boinkology - a blog all about [...]

alcohol and drugs and rape

 (Written by guest blogger Wendy Harlowe.)
I said I would write about substance abuse and adolescent sexuality, but I am amending that. I think there are plenty of people who use alcohol and drugs without abusing them (experimentation lies in this realm), but I think my opinions still stand.
Instances of rape (including date rape) are [...]

Biology

(Written by guest blogger Wendy Harlowe.) 
First, again, please feel free to e-mail me privately at wendyharlowe@gmail.com if you don’t want to post comments here. I look forward to hearing from you. I’ve been gratified by the response to my first post, including comments and private e-mail correspondence. (Over the years I’ve worried [...]

Another Guest Blogger

(Written by guest blogger Wendy Harlowe.) 
Dr. Rayne has kindly let me weigh in as a guest blogger for the few days while she is at the SXSW Interactive conference; she knows one of my favorite topics in life is sex! I think this blog is playing a crucial role in the needed discussion of [...]

SXSW and a Guest Blogger

I am delighted to be attending SXSW Interactive starting tomorrow, Friday March 7th here in Austin. I intend to fully submerge myself in the rocketing pace of conversation, presentations, panels, and swag that is SXSW Interactive!
Among the really interesting events I will be taking part are the following:

What Teens Want Online and On Their [...]
