Thank you to all who came to the debut of CLITERACY. It was seriously amazing to see the responses. Crowds around the wall laughing, pointing to laws, calling friends to look, camera phones out, one friend got goosebumps, and another cried. It was really something. Holy f****ng CLIT!

Sex around the world.

....we realize that having choices in our sexual lives does not automatically grant us freedom, equality, transcendence, happiness, or whatever else we may want. And that’s fine. We’re young—we are still discovering what is best for us. We know that to understand our own lives and to make sound choices for ourselves, we need accurate information that necessarily takes a balanced view of human sexuality and relationships and speaks to our beliefs, values, identities, and communities. And we also know that we aren’t dependent on mainstream media, pornography, or the Internet for our sex education. We can educate ourselves. Sex Week at Harvard proved to us that college students are mature, intelligent, and brave enough to engage in a public discourse about sex, sexuality, relationships, and intimacy and to arrive at deeply personal understandings of their needs and desires. It’s been a year since we decided that it was time to educate ourselves, and we don’t plan to stop after the first time or after leaving Harvard. Although we won’t be students enrolled in college forever, health, wellness, love, and intimacy should be lifelong pursuits.

Do you want to become a sexuality educator, counselor or therapist?  Attend a SAR!  There is one coming up in June at The Center for Sexual Pleasure and Health.

The Center for Sexual Pleasure and Health invites mental health professionals, students, health-care providers and anyone interested in reflecting on and gaining awareness about sexuality-related issues to its Sexual Attitude Reassessment Seminar (SAR). The SAR will be a two and a half-day intensive seminar that, through media integration and a variety of interactive activities and discussions, assists participants in the self-evaluation of their feelings, values, and attitudes as these relate to the diversity of human sexual behavior.  The SAR is a basic requirement for those who wish to become certified as sexuality educators, counselors, or therapists, but it can also benefit people in a range of other professions. The American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists (AASECT) suggests that this experience occur early in ones training so it can be most beneficial to one’s understanding personal biases and values while working with sexually-diverse populations.  This program meets the attitude and values training requirement for certification by AASECT and is approved for 22 CE Credits (provider #10-108H).  This program has been approved for 22.5 Social Work Continuing Education hours for re-licensure, in accordance with 258 CMR, Collaborative of NASW and The Boston College and Simmons Schools of Social Work Authorization number D 51996.  While sexually explicit media, conversations, and small group discussions are part of the SAR; there is no live nudity or sexual activity included (or permitted) in the program. If you have any questions about the program and/or its structure, please call the CSPH or email us at [email protected].  While 600.00 may seem like a lot, it is one of the cheapest SAR for your money going around.  (CSPH interns are able to attend one for free during their internship though)Pre-registration for this seminar is required. Please send a check or money order, along with your preferred address and telephone number to:  Megan Andelloux  The Center for Sexual Pleasure and Health  250 Main Street, Pawtucket, RI. 02860  [phone]  Dates: Friday June 22, 2012, 10:00am – 6:00pm  Saturday June 23 2012, 10:00am – 6:00pm  Sunday June 24 2012, 10:00am - 6:00pm

 You must be present for all three days in full to receive credit.  Registration is due by June 11th.

While it’s important to discuss the biological and statistical realities that shape our sex culture, something called “Sex Week” ought to really emphasize the key characteristic that entices people to have consensual sex in the modern world: fun. Criticizing Sex Week for being too pleasure-oriented would be like criticizing a car expo for having too many flashy concept vehicles — the whole reason people, especially young people, have sex is because it’s pleasurable. If anything, campus sex weeks should be as explicit as possible because the more comfortable young people are having truly frank discussions about the whims of their reproductive organs, — discussions that don’t suddenly turn modest when they revolve around dirty talk — the more likely they are to grow up into the sorts of old swingers that flaunt their wrinkled bodies confidently on HBO’sReal Sex. And, for all the weird shit those people can be into, you’ve got to admit that they all seem really happy.

Um, Jezebel, way to get this totally wrong. Granted, I am still not quite sure how I feel about Sex Week, nor do I really have a right to say anything, considering I couldn’t go to any event. With that said, this is just such a terrible approach. Don’t people who are already comfortable with sex already know that it’s fun? Isn’t sex week supposed to be about education? In that, it seems like Harvar did a pretty fantastic job of providing support, space, and resources. Sex Week is about representing all the different types of sex, from zero sex to bdsm to so much sex you can’t event count it. And “pleasure-oriented” does not have to be about giant dildos and penis rings. In fact, that turns some people off, often the people who decide not to go to these events. Way to seriously get it wrong, Jezebel.
