Want a “Beacon of Permission” badge for your site?

I’m so excited about all the feedback I’ve been getting from folks about their feelings on the “Beacon of Permission” approach to sex positivity.

One Year of Sex Geekdom

When I think about the fact that we had our first Sex Geekdom meetup exactly one year ago this week, it’s hard to imagine my life without Sex Geekdom now. Every month, I look forward to catching up with the sex geeks I know and meeting new sex geeks that have found their way to our events. When I get to travel to other Sex Geekdom hubs, I’m thrilled by the international connectedness of the community. This week, I’ll be leaving Melbourne to...
