Beaker Bitch: You Run Like a Man!

Sex and Sexuality post by Sarah Mirk on August 24, 2009 - 7:18pm; tagged determining sex, gender, gender bending, genderqueer, runner, science of sex, sex, South Africa, sports.
Caster Semenya is fast and strong and far from dainty. When it came to light last week that an athletic organization was secretly testing her sex, the sports world and mainstream media got a refresher course on an important reality: while our society tries to strictly divide people in male and female, the science of sex is far more murky.

South African Semenya is shaping up to be one of the fastest runners in the world, but if the International Association of Athletic Federations' (IAAF) forced battery of tests (including a gynecological exam) find she's too "male", she could be stripped of her medals. The IAAF stopped mandating the outdated sex tests for athletes back in 1992 and the reasons for testing Semenya range from fairness to racism, depending on who you ask.

Over at the Huffington Post, Jane Devin points out that males whose genetics make them sports stars are groomed and applauded, not subjected to embarrassing tests. You have to ask—if Semenya had thinner shoulders and a more delicate chin, would her competitor's allegations ("Just look at her," sniped a fifth-place finisher at a recent race) be given legitimacy for even a second? I think not.

Bed, Bitch & Beyond: Our Bodies, Outdoors

Sex and Sexuality post by BeckySharper on August 24, 2009 - 4:25pm; tagged Bed Bitch & Beyond, exhibitionism, How To Have Sex In The Woods, nature, outdoors, sex.
Today I bring you another burning question from the mailbag: From a reader who wished to remain nameless: Outdoor Sex: pro or con? as an outdoorsy-girl, I always fantasized about doing it in a big field, but each time I've tried it, I've been poked in weird places with odd plants and bumps (even through a blanket & sleeping pad), or stressed about potential hikers, or something else. It's just never been as good as I'd hoped. What about you? Good question! I like the outdoors, and I like sex. Are they two great tastes that taste great together?

Bed, Bitch & Beyond: Love, (De)Friendship and Facebook

Sex and Sexuality post by BeckySharper on August 17, 2009 - 5:22pm;
I had asked y'all to send me your burning relationship questions and quandaries, and in response I got this: What's do I do about defriending my now-ex? Do I leave him in friend limbo, or should breaking up automatically equal defriending? I haven't even taken down the "in a relationship with" line because it's only been a week and I just can't deal with everyone knowing yet.

On the Map: Breastfeeding is Best for Baby... But for Babydolls?

Sex and Sexuality post by Mandy Van Deven on August 13, 2009 - 11:49pm; tagged Bebé Glotón, breastfeeding, doll, sexualization, Spain.
Are the US media objections to Spain's Bebé Glotón further evidence of American's sexualization of the healthy, natural, and nurturing relationship between mother and child?

Bed Bitch & Beyond (Not So) Good Vibrations: A Confession

Sex and Sexuality post by BeckySharper on August 11, 2009 - 4:08pm; tagged Bed Bitch & Beyond.
Ladies, I have a confession to make. I don't like vibrators. Now, I have much respect for my feminist sisters at Good Vibrations and Babeland. If you love their products, and they get you off and make you happy and compensate for a lover with bad skillz or no lover at all, more power to you. I do not judge AT ALL. Unfortunately for me, vibes always fail to Get the Job Done. And believe me, I've tried.

Sex and Sexuality post by Mandy Van Deven on May 1, 2009 - 8:13pm; tagged feminist porn.

Organized by a woman-owned sex-toy shop in Toronto, Ontario and located in a church, the Feminist Porn Awards just might win the title of most ironic award competition, uh, ever—and maybe the most outrageously fun and sexy one too!
