SexLand!
A few weeks ago, I was inspired by a bunch of radical, sex positive undergraduate peer educators. They made me remember what is at the heart of my politics, why I became a sex educator and the way that sex is one of the most important battlegrounds for justice and change that’s out there. I

Before I can start my story I feel like I have to admit something. I’m a sexuality educator, and at times I listen to the Savage Love podcast by Dan Savage. Maybe you do too. Maybe you can’t stand him. Either way, I feel like there’s this odd place where his show resides – he
