• Tried+failed to wake in time for 1st session @SexTech. Feel like zombie…will wander in late looking for coffee. #WhyAreConsSoEarly #SexTech #
• ♺ @helio_girl: #Youth @SexTech share where they learn abt #sex Classroom not a focus. THAT is SexEdEverywhere: http://j.mp/seeiwhc #SexTech #
• @support Something screwy: with 2 accts open in diff browser if I post from Acct A, Acct B receives+repeats it automatically! WTF? #Identica #
• Made it to a packed room halfway thru "Sex Ed and #Tech quot; session @SexTech. Fueled by coffee & bagels, I'm feeling a bit more human. #SexTech #
• Helping youth "develop sexual autonomy" critical; eg teaching abt capability for pleasure increases contraceptive use/cc @HiOhMegan #SexTech #
• Awesome example of #sexual #health PSA on #YouTube http://youtube.com/watch?v=rPeaJBWXijo "Protect yourself" is message to #youth #SexTech #
• 2min #video on #sexting http://youtube.com/watch?v=-e5WQr8BU7Y in which one video links to another for multiple-choice Q&A. Clever! #SexTech #
• #Menstruation #animation http://youtube.com/watch?v=pQ4QOQdnifk very FAST way to get the point across to #youth on #sexual #health. #SexTech #
• LOVED "New Direction in Sex Ed & Technology"! Exercise: we story-boarded 2min Youtube video! TOTALLY useful for http://j.mp/seeiwhc #SexTech #
• @thesexademic I thought anyone born after 1980 is a "Gen Y" OR Millenial. I'm 1984: We're the uber-special Orwellian Generation. :) #SexTech in reply to thesexademic #
• Today's #SexTech keynote, @mblinder gives #social #media advice. Basics: do 1 thing well, cross-promote. Speaking of: check out @KinkForAll! #
• ♺ @KinkForAll #KFASF is CONFIRMED for Mar 21 at Women's Building! WomensBuilding.org Pls RT, sign up & donate if you can: http://tr.im/kfasf #
• #Social #media in 6 words: "Right People, Right Message, Right Message," @mblinder says at #SexTech Like all marketing plus engagement, no? #
• "Consciousness of who you are coming thru in an authentic way." Bizspeak translation: headline all your honest content. Be BOLD. ;) #SexTech #
• My own social media tip: ALWAYS include call to action, implicit or not, when on promotion campaign. AWALYS. SA: http://ur1.ca/nscw #SexTech #
• Dur #social #media in 6 words update http://ur1.ca/nsd2 should've read: "Right People, Right Message, Right Resources." #NeedCoffee #SexTech #
• "Social media is like teen sex. Every1 wants to do it but no 1 knows how & when it's done they're disappointed." Why? @Kanter asks. #SexTech #
• "Fondling the hammer. Does anyone1 know what that is?" THE HAMMER IS MY PENIS. (Say hi to viral marketing—I'm Joss Whedon's bitch.) #SexTech #
• Great point: "There's nothing wrong w/selective strategy." Start slowly+incrementally, w/1 site (Twitter, your own blog, whatever.) #SexTech #
• Change the culture inside of organization to learn from failure, @Kanter urges. YES! We learn mistakes=failure in school. NOT TRUE. #SexTech #
• Wow look at how many tweets @Kanter's speech is getting! Is it WRITTEN for that in mind? Short sentences+sound bytes=easy to tweet. #SexTech #
• "I spend time tuning my network," @Kanter says. This means UNFOLLOW ppl too. Srsly, it's useful. I unfollow lot; it's not personal. #SexTech #
• Another tip from me: When live blogging, don't just repeat, add own opinion to what you're posting. Like: "@Kanter's good speaker!" #SexTech #
• Now @mrbobbyjones speaks on #youth #activism. Early point: "They used #tech of the day; whatever avail!" It's NOT abt tech but msg. #SexTech #
• Social activism in America by #youth of this gen started w/ an election in 2000 they felt was stolen from them, @mrbobbyjones says. #SexTech #
• @kanter You just changed how I write speeches like http://vimeo.com/9304697 and http://vimeo.com/7783159 for the better. Thanks! :) #SexTech in reply to kanter #
• Food-pyramid-like slide of "#media consumption" is fantastic visual analogy, great use of slides w/o bullet points to make a point. #SexTech #
• "Most impactful [social] movements have a combination of online & offline part." Yes. Rally+organize face-to-face, not just online. #SexTech #
• To adults "You have greatest asset in history of social activation: #youth energy driven by social media." Nice phrase: activation. #SexTech #
• Can contests bring big results? @rtw003 presents conceptual framework at #SexTech Make it an intellectual challenge: skill+time=innovation. #
• "Your idea could start a movement," on @rtw003's slide means DON'T HOARD YOUR IDEA. Share. You don't win w/o execution even w/idea. #SexTech #
• #KFASF has a venue for Mar 21 but needs ~$600 more funds to make it real! Sign up+donate at http://tr.im/kfasf Bring sex ed uncons NATIONAL. #
• Important for #social #media: "Don't automate," @Kanter says during #SexTech panel Q&A. On that note, http://ur1.ca/my6u unlink your #feeds #
• My proposal for IWHC is SexEdEverywhere, also a vid contest: http://j.mp/seeiwhc Prizes will only be $100, but why not start small? #SexTech #
• Can't figure out what next #SexTech breakout session I wanna go to. MSM & Technology? I'm A…Student Peer Sex Educator? Gah! SO MUCH AWESOME. #
• Chose to attend #SexTech "I'm A…Student Peer Sex Educator" panel since @vniow wants to go to the other one & will share notes w/me later. :) #
• Former ISIS-inc.org intern, Natalie, tells us of how she single-handedly added comprehensive #sex #education at her high school. :) #SexTech #
• How can students get involved? "Stress that #SEX IS SOMETHING PEOPLE ARE INTERESTED IN." Even if they don't agree, talk about THAT! #SexTech #
• Ian O'Brien talks abt Sexland, a campus #sexual #health fair at Humboldt State U. It's rural but liberal. Good to know those exist. #SexTech #
• "We want to expose people to non hetereosexual identity+let them explore their own identity." 'Exposure' is charged word but vital. #SexTech #
• "There are more ways to express your #sexuality more than just who you're having sex with." Who you fuck is not the primary factor! #SexTech #
• "It's not just abt sex," Ian says. "There's heavy focus on…all realms of life." So key! Not enough sex-related DE-sexualized space! #SexTech #
• Both peer #sex educators have called out to their administrators LOTS. This's VERY important: #youth often disempowered w/o allies. #SexTech #
• "We don't have a budget," Ian says of Sexland. Also how @KinkForAll works. #KFASF is MAR 21 but needs donations: http://tr.im/kfasf #SexTech #
• @chocojo Yes, quite a number of references to gender identity, if not explicitly #transgender still lots about gender variance. :) #SexTech in reply to chocojo #
• Q: "How do you support knowledge transfer in high-turnover env like college?" A: "Lot from academic dept directly." Not common IME. #SexTech #
• Body image issue affects our sexual decision making, Mira Friedman says at #SexTech peer panel. Callback to need to develop sexual autonomy. #
• Now, student peer #sex educators from, PASSHEN "Peers Advocating #Safety and Sexual #Health Now" speaking about educating freshmen. #SexTech #
• "Our [sexual health+education] curriculum is completely made by the students. Students know what other students want to hear most." #SexTech #
• Making curriculum ourselves "gives us lot of power to make decisions…it's factual+researched," based on questions frm other #youth #SexTech #
• "We're not allowed to distribute condoms on campus so we stand on the other side of the street & give them out there." Ha! So COOL! #SexTech #
• What do peer #sex educators get out doing this? "We get amazing sense of knowledge, public speaking #skills class credit and FUN." #SexTech #
• "Best way to teach #students is thru other student; not telling them you need to do this or that. We get the whole class involved." #SexTech #
• "With peers, it's easier for #youth to be open. #Sex is looked down on" by adult. YES! See Sexual Adultism http://vimeo.com/7783159 #SexTech #
• "The most common symptom of having an #STI is having no symptom at all." peer #sex educators show us example of learning exercises. #SexTech #
• "Don't just say myth or fact. We want explanation so #youth can see WHY." Good #sex #education based on same principle as other ed. #SexTech #
• @forteller I'm listening to students from PASSHEN. They're in Berkley Uni I think? Amazing it's not okay to give out condoms there. #SexTech in reply to forteller #
• After PASSHEN condom demo, audience member says: "I actually learned something & I'm 32. That was most informative demo I've seen!" #SexTech #
• I. Love. This. Sign. :D ♺ @sarahdopp: Woah! #SexTech made their #bathrooms #gender #neutral today! Win! http://yfrog.com/auibtfj /via @vniow #
• Along with #condoms #STI & other safer sex methodologies, there's program called TREAL that talks abt lust/love, etc. Link anyone? #SexTech #
• Pass it on!♺ @KinkForAll #KFASF CONFIRMED but needs $600 in funds. Help bring #sexuality #unconferences national! Donate: http://ur1.ca/nsqe #
• @csarven @evan @support Thx for your response. I've forced-reloaded, hasn't happened again (yet). Will keep you posted if it does. #Identica #
• Key msg: "We're not advocating for #youth #sex we're just informing abt safety." Good point; how to de-politicize education/sex ed? #SexTech #
• ♺ @SarahFrantz: @maymaym ANY info about sex to their mind is advocating for #sex Can't depoliticize; it's up to them not you, IMO. #SexTech #
• Totally missed #SexTech lunch by talking to the awesome folks from Humboldt State Uni. Gonna grab some food & stay quiet for bit for a rest. #
• Skipping #SexTech talk from academics as it exemplified everything I dislike re academia. Moving to I'm A Health Educator & Librarian panel. #
• "If books are constantly missing or stolen, we know that's a key topic for ppl; maybe they don't want it on their #library record." #SexTech #
• @crheinga MSM & Technology one. I appreciate the topic & feel personal connection but can't stand dry lectures w/bullet point slides. Sorry. in reply to crheinga #
• A "school is really a microcosm of the broader community." Very true; this is why #education is at the heart of healthy #sexuality #SexTech #
• "Even though you may not come into the #library here are some resources for you." A librarian is NOT a receptionist at a #library #SexTech #
• "We don't give advice. As #librarians we know where to find info but not off top of our heads. Libraries are judgement-free zones." #SexTech #
• #CIPA mandatory filtering for libraries, is REQUIRED to receive federal funding. Filter often too broad. BIG issue for librarians. #SexTech #
• For more on libraries & #Internet #filters: http://infoandthelibrary.org. CHECK IT OUT. Crowdsourced research study by @audaciaray. #SexTech #
• Libraries have a built-in audience. Useful for researchers, educators, and anyone else who wants to reach #youth esp. poorer kids. #SexTech #
• Great point: Librarians are often neutral support unlike teachers who grade work & so forth. I avoided classroom teachers as a kid. #SexTech #
• More information on #youth & #libraries http://ala.org/yalsa Speakers encourage you to cross-polinate/collaborate online—it's FREE. #SexTech #
• GOOD POINT. ♺ DukeBrady: @JessieNYC Here's something they don't teach in #school "The #History Of #Censorship quot;. Now why is that? #education #
• Joyce Libson of SWAP: http://bit.ly/98yn44 gov't program, but not self-hosted. No funding/expertise! #SexTech #
• "It'll be another year b4 we can move it to own server. That may not sound like big deal to you in #tech but I assure you, it is." #SexTech #
• "It's hard to constantly invite people to come to the site." I noticed lack of RSS on SWAP site. New tech reaches OUT, not back in. #SexTech #
• Despite lack of tech savvy implementations, many gov't, community program sites PACKED with useful info. How can we help spread it? #SexTech #
• 3 times in 3 diff sessions speakers mentioned "creating toolkits" for similar purposes. Are they all reinventing wheels? Might be…. #SexTech #
• Lacking global #directory reinventing wheels is constant problem. #Tech community shares #infrastructure instead of rebuilding it. #SexTech #
• What could #infrastructure to support sharing info about small gov't, library, school, #community center #resources w/eachother be? #SexTech #
• "One of the ways we were able to [launch this site] was by avoiding the rigamaroll of government approval." :-O System need fixing! #SexTech #
• If you find blocked site in #library lodge formal complaints! It's much better if YOU complain loudly than when librarians try. ;) #SexTech #
• If library/local govt admins are not unblocking sites after you complain GO PUBLIC & pressure them with public awareness campaigns. #SexTech #
• Super huge thx to @bigolpoofter for 1st $50 donation to #KFASF :D Get details about March 21st event in #SF & donate at: http://tr.im/kfasf #
• Librarians don't know what's blocked; can't see local blacklist or check all sites. HELP YOUR LIBRARY: http://infoandthelibrary.org #SexTech #
• Last #SexTech breakout session I chose to go to is "I'm A… #Gender Studies Researcher" being run by Catherine Ashcraft from http://NCWIT.org #
• Beginning w/multiple-choice question and waiting for everyone in the room to answer is cute but seems like it wasted a lot of time. #SexTech #
• Classroom style still "cute," but I'm frustrated. Why go over all this? Just say women's participation in CS is down & get on w/it. #SexTech #
• Okay, I'm sorry, but this #SexTech session is so painfully slow, I'm just gonna ditch it. This is exactly why I dropped out of school. Augh. #
• WOW! #KFASF raised $250 in 1 day w/about 3 tweets! Live example of social media at work, #SexTech Info: http://tr.im/kfasf /via @KinkForAll #
• Diving into @KinkForAll work for remainder of #SexTech breakouts. I'm sure I'm missing something good but I can't find it & I've work to do. #
• More info on Megan Andelloux (@HiOhMegan) and Center for Sexual Pleasure & Health (@TheCSPH): http://ur1.ca/ntg4 http://ur1.ca/ntg2 #SexTech #
• Nicaragua abortion law prevent life-saving cancer treatment to pregnant woman. Uh…fetus dies if she dies! http://icio.us/2wtu4y ♺ @KinkOnTap #
• Many sexual health programs help teen who want to stay abstinent deal w/peer pressure but religious right doesn't return the favor. #SexTech #
• Backchannel an important part of conversation. Private+public, lot of option. Learn how to talk while ppl tweet: http://ur1.ca/ntj3 #SexTech #
• #SexTech = AMAZING; so worth $175 I paid even tho content will be free online: http://SexTech.org THX: @DebISIS & all at http://ISIS-inc.org #
• Excited to have spoke w/@BillTaverner re SexEdEverywhere at #SexTech & see more votes: http://j.mp/seeiwhc 1 click to help me win $1k grant! #
• LOL! That's awesome. :) ♺ @helio_girl: College friends call @KinkOnTap mix of 4-Chan, South Park & Jon Stewart. What do you think, @maymaym? #
• Home now, but so fucking exhausted after #SexTech I'll treat myself to take-out dinner. Missed my tweets? Full archive at http://ur1.ca/ntuo #
• @veduncan I use an experimental feature of #Twitter Tools #plugin for @WordPress. Needs some baby sitting, tho. Get it at http://ur1.ca/ntx0 in reply to veduncan #

• Up "early" for #SexTech Gotta admit…I'm nervous. Usually I go to tech cons; this time I'll avoid tech track in favor of stuff I don't know. #
• In Alcazar Theatre for #SexTech I they're playing what sound like entrant tapes to http://SayWhatContest.org. Good backdrop for setting up. #
• #SexTech #039;s sponsored by NIMH. "It means lot to us to have a federal body supporting our work on behalf of #youth quot; Deb Levine says @ keynote. #
• "We look at what's popular in #youth culture & insert sexual health into it instd of making prgrms+waiting for them to come to us." #SexTech #
• Deb Levine's keynote: "Sex is #sex and information is information; we need to inform #youth so that they can be critical thinkers." #SexTech #
• "To the advocates: give up these town hall meetings, cuz #youth don't go to town hall mtings." Good common-sense #education advice. #SexTech #
• Advice from youth panelists: Don't just say don't do it, tell me why. Just cuz you have a question doesn't mean you're having #sex #SexTech #
• Of the 6 #youth panelists, all of them were told "Don't have sex." Only 2 were given any advice abt when/how to say "yes" to #sex #SexTech #
• Q: Did you get #sex ed at school? A: "Well you could SAY I did. I learned more from my neighbor (about sex) than I did at #school " #SexTech #
• Separating girls and boys in #sex #education class? "Just cuz we have different parts doesn't mean we shouldn't know about others!" #SexTech #
• Youth panelist: "Sex education should cover everything that has to do w/our sexuality. Like what the hell are fetishes?!" APPLAUSE. #SexTech #
• Q: Should there be #sex ed abt homosexuality right beside heterosexuality? A: "I say why not? They put us all in the same classes!" #SexTech #
• Asked Q to #SexTech #youth panelists: "What incentivizes you to speak up & be public?" Sad my followup "how do you deal w/that got lost." :\ #
• My Q: "What incentivizes you to speak up about #sex " All #youth gave same answers as adults: legitimize my identity & help others. #SexTech #
• During keynote, @DebISIS urged #learning from brand marketers. Inspirational for projects like SexEdEverywhere: http://j.mp/seeiwhc #SexTech #
• Earlier, #youth panelist said: "I'm a fan of the Internet" (to learn about #sex , "but [many sites] are so lengthy & full of text." #SexTech #
• Rhodes Klement of @poptech intros Innovation Award & calls back to @DebISIS: "We teach ppl how to use brand" to spread #sex ed msg. #SexTech #
• 497 now! ♺ @helio_girl: Wow, #SexEdEverywhere has 495 votes. Spread the word and head to http://j.mp/seeiwhc to help us reach 500 & beyond! #
• Meandering Nob Hill w/ @vniow during #SexTech #039;s (long) lunch break. Thinking of going to "Youth First: The Early Adopters" breakout session. #
• Brainstorming on #marketing & branding for #sexual health & rights w/@vniow. Showing her http://j.mp/seeiwhc Eager for #SexTech to continue! #
• Not used to slow pace of #SexTech used to fast-paced stuff like @KinkForAll. Speaking of, #KFASF on Mar 21 @SexTech ppl! http://tr.im/kfasf #
• Met up with @sarahdopp already! w00t! Now, #Youth First session @SexTech starts w/ intros from people who do http://TeenClinic.org. #SexTech #
• "Youth live as much of their lives online as they do offline" TeenClinic.org speakers say. Their site is pretty cool. Check it out. #SexTech #
• "We should involve #youth in our #tech outreach," Danielle Watters says abt @TeenClinic. "We built this site as a local #resource " #SexTech #
• Emily Vanatta of @TeenClinic "We were nervous…but #youth gave awesome feedback!" Soliciting AUDIENCE—not just USER—feedback is key! #SexTech #
• Hm. @TeenClinic gave out "underground" msgs to #youth via "Where's Clappy?" stickers; benefit = adults DIDN'T KNOW what it was abt. #SexTech #
• Q: Do you get diff Qs from txt than focus groups? A: "We get lots of anal #sex taboo Qs, & that shows what school isn't teaching." #SexTech #
• Private #sex Q&A lines run by @TeenClinic like anon SMS services gets "much more personal questions" than group #education methods. #SexTech #
• "You want to be #gender blind" when it comes to #sex ed, "but we feel that having male leadership is important." Yes very much pls! #SexTech #
• Interested in all these #SexTech notices from me? See what I'm seeing live at http://justgood.tv Great #tech & #sex #education intersection! #
• Thx to whoever just pushed SexEdEverywhere proposal over 500 votes! Have you voted yet? http://j.mp/seeiwhc What about you, #SexTech ppl? :) #
• Powerpoint-style talk by http://HealthShack.info is losing me a little bit. Seems really important but somehow I'm not able to grok much. :( #
• So, is http://HealthShack.info like home care provider, running "site visits" & "wholistic health" #education w/ sex-positive bent? #SexTech #
• #Youth concerned their health records are not confidential, speakers from HealthShack.info, a "Personal Health Record" system, say. #SexTech #
• Aw thx! :D ♺ @clarissethorn I'm always fangirling @maymaym, favorite (other) #BDSM activist, but he's so great! Vote for http://j.mp/seeiwhc #
• "Numbers are everything" HealthShack.info says. Without accurate stats proving efficacy we can't fund public #sex #health projects! #SexTech #
• Even #homeless #youth find way to get #Internet access for online #health services, HealthShack.info folks say. Rly? Or only in CA? #SexTech #
• Library FTW. ♺ @thelinecampaign: Where/how do #homeless #youth get access to the Internet? Public #libraries & youth centers are one option. #
• "Easier access to condoms needed," especially for #youth living in rural areas. In towns w/100-200 ppl, embarrassment is BIG issue. #SexTech #
• Interesting! Many #sex ed campaigns start w/concept of "less threatening" cartoon but end up reflecting intended audience w/photos! #SexTech #
• "Don't recreate anything that's already out there," http://IKnowMine.org creator says. YES! Many free srvcs! See @KinkForAll's use. #SexTech #
• I insist a lot of $ going to infrastructure costs for #sex #education & #health is misspent. Use free services, make bigger impact! #SexTech #
• "We want to encourage ppl to take pic of themselves w/ http://IKnowMine.org t-shirt." Simple+effective way to bring online offline. #SexTech #
• AFTER click "Send me free condoms" on IKnowMine.org site you get informed it's for Alaska only. Lesson is put call to action FIRST. #SexTech #
• Got stopped by some1 @SexTech said, "You do @KinkForAll uncons, right? http://vimeo.com/tag:kinkforall vids make me so happy!" Yay! #SexTech #
• Hey #SexTech tweeple: Are you local to San Francisco? I want to meet you. Proposal: Retweet this and include #SexTechInSF so we all know. :) #
• Filling out paperwork for #KFASF http://tr.im/kfasf during a Powerpoint-like talk @SexTech that feels like repetition from earlier. #SexTech #
• "We're going to open source the GYTNow.org campaign." That means making participation easy by providing stickers+more. #SexTech #terminology #
• Just sent official #KFASF reservation w/the Women's Building for Mar 21. It's happening! Check out http://tr.im/kfasf for more & sign up! :D #
• http://InSpot.org: Send pre-created STI notification ecard to partner anonymously if you contract an #STI Is anon still effective? #SexTech #
• Content for InSpot.org talk seems like it should go to local gov't, etc. This is the choir; no need to preach to this crowd, no? :\ #SexTech #
• Next: @SexTech's "Effective Tools for Local #Communities Planned Parenthood Online." Big org challenges not same as independent's. #SexTech #
• #Internet provide opportunity to consolidate as well as specialize: important to distinguish local content from generalized content #SexTech #
• Case in point: Over 1 million searches/month for local health centers on PlannedParenthood.org: Global site consolidate local data. #SexTech #
• Many struggle w/distinguishing content. 1 way to start is to identify AUDIENCE first, then ask yourself what you have to show them. #SexTech #
• "It's a lot easier to have #sex than it is to talk about sex," so http://SexReally.com saw the opportunity to inspire conversation. #SexTech #
• Mindmap-like slide Larry Swiader showed is exactly my concept of #social #media "octopus networks," I discussed at @DeviantsOnline. #SexTech #
• On the #Internet every page is same distance from every other page. IOW, your CONTENT should go to as many other sites as possible. #SexTech #
• "Octopus networks" have a home page, but tentacle-like content reaches to other sites & pulls visitors back to head. SA: @SexReally #SexTech #
• "1 of most trusted sources of info, including birth control, is via friends." Of course: social networking=peer-to-peer #education #SexTech #
• We've been talking about communication tools. What of communication SKILLS? Having the tools doesn't mean you know how to use them. #SexTech #
• If we succeed in starting conversation, what tools could support that? Interactive scripts ala teleprompter for phone conversation? #SexTech #
• HOLY SHIT! 90% of 1.7mil visit to http://PPFA.org are women. Of men who speak of "family values" many see parenting as women's job. #SexTech #
• TX is "a Sate doing everything they can to prevent" getting #sex #health info to ppl who need it. What to do? Win in search engine! #SexTech #
• Getting ready for "I'm a… Feminist #Sex Educator" panel @SexTech. Haven't seen @melissagira since I was in NYC. Excited about this. #SexTech #
• Panel starts w/@melissagira saying how started: getting condoms to HS while a student. #Youth need adult allies. http://ur1.ca/npff #SexTech #
• Don't "target" populations. Empower missing groups of people as potential leaders instead @melissagira advises us @SexTech. AWESOME #SexTech #
• "I don't have degree—how can I be an educator?" Quote by WhereIsYourLine.org creator is relevant to my interest: http://ur1.ca/ngvd #SexTech #
• Saudi campaign was inspiration for @thelinecampaign, created by @fancynancynyc w/input frm @melissagira. "Sex-positive & inviting." #SexTech #
• What does "be inviting" mean to you? To me the heart of the issue is encouragement+questions. Don't tell ppl stuff, ask them stuff. #SexTech #
• "I'm disturbed by corporate interests corrupting interesting feminist conversation abt sex to sell us stuff," @CorySilverberg says. #SexTech #
• "Especially since I present as a man," @corysilverberg says, "I call myself a #feminist #sex educator cuz it REQUIRES explanation." #SexTech #
• Writing by @corysilverberg is SUPERB! Featured his How To Talk to Kids Abt Porn http://ur1.ca/npgo on @KinkOnTap http://ur1.ca/npgs #SexTech #
• "Who gets to be an educator?" Uni professor @jessfields asks. "I'm interested in what we're talking about but also what we're not." #SexTech #
• ACTUALLY GOOD POINT: "I wouldn't have been born if my mom had an abortion & I would've been fine w/that too." @HeatherCorinna says. #SexTech #
• @JessieNYC I think Jessica Fields' #Twitter account is @jessfields. I HOPE, anyway, else that person is very confused right now. ;) #SexTech in reply to JessieNYC #
• @AnneDouglas That's a given, but that's also no different than current sex #education which is also often scientifically WRONG & unhelpful. in reply to AnneDouglas #
• ♺ @AnneDouglas: #Youth deserve good facts abt all kinds of #sex & adults need to learn to be gateway openers not gateway guardians. #SexTech #
• #Feminism can SOUND exclusive of men. @melissagira does feminism thru lens of "gender justice" is far more inclusive. :) Very nice. #SexTech #
• Asked question about #educators who attack attempts to converse. Mulling over the responses. More thoughts here: http://ur1.ca/ngvd #SexTech #
• Also spoke up about #submissive #masculinity in Feminist #Sex Educator panel. I write about that LOTS: http://MaleSubmissionArt.com #SexTech #
• @bma You touch on 2 issues. But pls note, I didn't say men ARE excluded by #feminism I implied they FEEL excluded. BIG difference. #SexTech #
• @JessieNYC Attendees @SexTech are overwhelmingly white. This is true in all #sex positive space I've been to. @clarissethorn writes on this. in reply to JessieNYC #
• "There's not always an asker & an answerer" for #sex @HeatherCorinna says. Right! That's what #youth mean by "sex just happened." #SexTech #
• @bma Maybe heteronormative men feel excluded by #feminism cuz hegemonic culture define #masculine in direct opposition to feminine? #SexTech #
• Hung out at Press Club for #SexTech wine & cheese social, met LOTS of interesting people. Now back at hotel watching "Let's Talk About Sex." #
• @gogobera LOL! :) Sorry, I only tweet QUITE this much during conferences. Promise. I'm also on many Twitter lists—follow those to follow me. in reply to gogobera #
• Home after VERY long day @SexTech. Got to thank @DebISIS at social, follow up w/ @aboutsexuality & others in person. THANK YOU ALL. #SexTech #
• Totally exhausted, but sent important update on #KFASF Short version: IT'S ON MARCH 21! SPREAD THE WORD! Long version: http://tr.im/PZMs :D #
• Day 2 of #SexTech starts at 8 AM?! OMG I'm going to get so little sleep tonight. S'ok, tho…I confirmed #KFASF for Mar 21: http://tr.im/kfasf #

I’m very excited to announce a new initiative that I’ve begun working on in collaboration with Emma, co-unorganizer of KinkForAll Providence and my co-host on Kink On Tap. The new project, called SexEdEverywhere, is going to be our biggest and most challenging project to date. It also has enormous potential.

(This announcement was originally made on another blog of mine, but I’m cross-posting it here to spread the word rapidly.)

The core of the project is a sexual health education and empowerment video campaign highlighting the reality that we learn about sex from disparate sources in many locations. I believe that the time has come for people to realize that “sex education” is not, has never been, and never should be confined to health class. I believe that young people, sexuality minorities, and certain other disenfranchised groups (still including, sadly, women) have an enormously important role to play in reforming the empty-vessel, top-down model of education and turning it into a peer-to-peer meritocracy where accurate information wins out over misinformation because it saves lives rather than being politically expedient.

And I believe that this change is only possible when it comes from the very people who need such change most: young men, women, and other people like you and me.

That’s why Emma and I have put together a proposal for the project and submitted it to the International Women’s Health Coalition Young Visionaries contest, a contest that, if we win, would seed our project with $1000 USD of necessary funding to get it off the ground. Part of the criteria for winning the contest is based on popular vote, which means I need your votes to win.

If this sounds like a project worth supporting, please go to the Sex Ed Everywhere IWHC voting page and click on “Vote” right next to our picture. And then come back and vote again the next day, and every day until voting ends on March 25, which I understand is totally fair for the competition!

Here is an excerpt of our proposal for the IWHC Young Visionaries contest:

With the $1000 grant from the IWHC Young Visionaries contest we will fund a sexual health education and empowerment video campaign that highlights the reality that we learn about sex from disparate sources in many locations. The heart of this campaign, which we call SexEdEverywhere (“SEE”), will begin with a competition calling for submissions of 30 to 90 second videos that will be reviewed and featured on a network of 5 (or more) microsites over time. The campaign will be based at SexEdEverywhere.com, a website that will actively engage the people to whom it will speak: women and youth across the globe.

[…]

Our vision of lasting change is to create a world in which accurate information about sexual health and freedoms reaches more students and young people than suffer from misinformation or a knowledge deficit. By engaging young people in the creation and distribution of knowledge, we hope to help them recognize their power to enact social justice in their local communities. This would be a world in which women and young people are aware of their sexual and reproductive rights from an early age, and are empowered to make informed decisions for themselves and educate those around them.

Please vote for SexEdEverywhere and help us SEE a world where everyone is aware of their sexual and reproductive rights! Thank you for your daily voting support!
