That is very fucking cool, there's so much about sex/sexuality that I want to write about on Hubski but just don't know quite how to get it out there yet. But consent workshop sounds like a fantastic idea, it's just a shame the sex ed in schools is such a let down it's necessary; though as you touched upon, it is something that is evolving within society and subcultures alike, so maybe it will always be needed.
b_b is making the Forever Labs team sign a sexual harassment thingy to lower our insurance costs. #sellout
I'm finding out that there are so many things that I used to say, "We will never do that," where the 'that' in that sentence is something that your insurance underwriter insists that you have to get the best rate. I'm not a fiduciary in the legal sense, but (a) I want our business to survive, and (b) I feel a responsibility to our investors and employees (many of whom are close personal friends of mine) badly enough that I won't spend a dollar that I don't see a benefit to spending. Hence, by this time next week, we're gonna have ourselves a sexual harassment policy, a fire escape plan, and whateverthefuck else our underwriters give us as a carrot. Insurance people might be more ridiculous than lawyers. They're just as evil, but so fucking polite it makes you sick. At least lawyers have the balls to be pricks.
In order to get my wife's business loan she needed a life insurance policy that named the bank as the benefactor. As a cosigner on the loan I did, too. Which meant in order for the bank to give us funds we had a surly Russian dude come out and give us physicals and take blood. I literally have blood in the game.
One of my favourite webcomics to have started in the last few years is Oh Joy Sex Toy, while some / most of the comics are effectively paid adverts they do have the occasional comic that touches on some good topics. This comic prompted me to add my first book on sexuality to my Amazon wishlist -- I've not bought it yet cos... I dunno... just not there yet.
LOVE that comic! I remember when it started, I read it religiously. But then, after being in a relationship for more than seven years, and having our fair share of toys, just regular ole sex is what does it for us. Fiddling with devices can be fun in the right context, but ... it gets distracting after a while. Toys are a GREAT way to start the "consent" conversation, though! :-)
