Roxxie Twittergasms
May 14, 2008 | 
Events, Health
In honor of Masturbation Month, the San Francisco Masturbate-a-thon is using the Twitter service to follow live updates of individual orgasms. Fleshbot reported on all the details.
I’m going to be participating in Twittergasm, and you can follow me with an RSS feed reader or sign up for the twitter.com service and receive my updates as text messages on your phone.
If I had planned ahead and stayed on top of the news, I would be participating in Masturbate-a-thon, but I just now learned about the event. If you would like to sponsor me the $75 sign-up fee I can still get in!

Bang4theBuck- San Francisco April 25th
April 15, 2008 | Events
Midori and Kelly B are hosting their annual AIDSLifecycle fundraiser party for women and transfolk Bang4theBuck on Friday April 25th at The Citadel. The first part of the evening is a Strip-o-rama and later in the evening the party becomes a kinky sex and play party.
I would love to be there, but like all good red blooded Americans, I paid taxes this week. I paid a whole lot more than I expected to pay this year, which totally blew my budget for the month. No extra money for fun events this week, but at least I have fun working!
Blogs and Events
April 6, 2008 | Cool Links, Events
I’m following a new blog, Sex Work 101, edied by Audacia Ray. I’m really excited to see sex workers published educational material about the adult industry.
There are some really great events coming up!
If I had known about it sooner I would be out at Sex 2.0, the intersection of social media, feminism and sexuality. Too bad plane tickets would cost an arm and a leg a week before the event!
I will be at International Ms. Leather this year, volunteering and doing lapdances at the Thursday night Seduction event. I think that N’tali will be there as well, but I haven’t heard definite confirmation of that rumor.
And I am also planning on attending Arse Electronica again this year. Their 2008 theme is, “Do Androids Sleep with Electric Sheep?”

Felice Newman’s Workshop is Back

Felice Newman’s workshop Sexual Partnering for Lesbian Couples is back!
Discover the concepts and practices that will help you create a great shared sex life — and a relationship that will deepen in heat and intimacy through the years!
Berkeley, CA
July 22 , 2007, 1-5 pm
EARLY REGISTRATION DEADLINE EXTENDED TO JULY 13th!
“Felice Newman saved our 20+ year relationship from LBD (lesbian bed death). As her clients, we can’t say enough about how much she’s done for lesbians everywhere and the two of us in particular.” — Berkeley
Felice Newman is on a mission to end “lesbian bed death” in her lifetime. She believes that a dwindling sex life is not inevitable for long-term partners. In fact, as Felice tells her clients, lesbian partners need not settle for anything less than a completely satisfying sex life. Sexual Partnering for Lesbian Couples is a half-day workshop designed to help you achieve the sex life you desire.
When you have sex, you bring with you the whole package of who you are: your sexual history, your beliefs about sex and gender, your accumulated sexual wisdom, your erotic imagination and yearnings, and your physical structure. As a somatic practitioner and sex educator, Felice addresses the whole “self,” including sensations, desires, tissues, emotions, thoughts, muscles, breath, movement, language, history. This workshop will include basic somatic practices including sensation awareness and self-observation.
Space limited–register early!
$175 per couple; $160 per couple if paid registration is received by July 13, 2007.
To register: Send payment to Felice Newman, 465 Hudson Street, Oakland, CA 94618. (Include your names and contact info, including email addresses.)
