One of my 4-year-old twin daughters is a balls-to-the-wall, head-first-diving, highest-tree-climbing, 800-meter-running, outlasting-the-Duracell-battery-rabbit, dress-wearing-in-the-dirt, worm-collecting, stunning beauty of a kid. The other is a boy. When I say she is a boy, I mean just that. She’ll tell you, “I am a boy.” I also mean that “she.” She is a “she.” At least for

Snuggle on!!
My lover has 2 boys, 7 and 10 years old. We have been dating a couple months now and every date for a long while was when his ex-wife had his kids. We had hung out with my boys, 8 and 13 years old, but never his. Recently we scheduled a weekend together and his
A Challenge to Sexuality Advice
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
Some Boys Feel Like Girls!
My 6 year old son is a bit of a gender bender. Last year he went through a period when he wanted to be referred to as Molly and wanted to wear a dress, but only at home. He was very clear he did not want to wear a dress to school because he knew
Dore Alley–With Kids!
I recently attended Dore Alley for the first time in several years. It was nice to dress up in leathers on a glorious day and go out with a longtime sweetie and one of his partners to flirt, frolic, and fondle flesh. I’d give you some glorious details, but I’m a mommy blogger. This post
Shar Rednour & Michelle Meow Talk Sex Toys
I always enjoy hearing Shar Rednour talk about sex. She’s one of the most effervescent and entertaining folks I know, both for her forthright, take-no-prisoners style and her insight into how to make sex lots of fun. So I really liked her interview with Michelle Meow on Swirl Radio. Click on the button to play
Another important topic to cover – STI’s
I went in for my annual gynecological check up last week. The subsequent conversation between my daughter and me underscores how important it is to be up front… and how the conversation can be no big deal, but have a huge impact on the relationship with your child. School was not yet back in session
Parenting 101: Queer with Children
I’m kinky. Yep, queer to the core, and liking it. This is not a brand new thing for me, but it is relatively new to the whole of my life. There was a time when that was not even part of my vocabulary, and the notion of “sex positive” was more likely tied to some
Talking to Kids About “Legitimate Rape”
Last week I wrote a letter. I posted it publicly on Facebook and I sent it to Todd Akin himself. I got a plethora of comments of support, admiration and love, lots of people liked it and several folks re-shared it on their own pages. Mr. Akin hasn’t responded to me yet. I suspect he
Hide your Fifty Shades of Grey…or better yet, talk to your kids about it
Recently, a woman at my exercise class offered her copy of Fifty Shades of Grey to anyone who would take it off her hands. “I can’t keep it in the house,” she said, “I have an 11 year old son who is a voracious reader…” Another woman chimed in with a story about a friend’s
