Do you remember that TV show The Pinky and the Brain? At the end of every episode Pinky would ask what they would do tomorrow night and Brain would say, “the same thing we do every night, try to take over the world.” That kinda reminds me of AAG..she’s everywhere, she’s everywhere. I mean that in the fondest way possible. AAG really is amazing. Five posts a week on her own blog, plus Fleshbot, plus Jane’s Guide, plus raising three kids and having a sexy adult life as well. And if all that wasn’t enough she’s started another blog.
Beyond the Birds and the Bees is an online resource where folks can share accounts of how they were educated about sexuality by their first and arguably most important teachers — their parents. We’ll also turn the tables and explore the ways in which adults sometimes need to educate their families in the art of acceptance. We’ll look at how people pass on information about sexuality, what’s effective, what’s not, and what’s downright funny.
Designed to be a place where folks can go for information, shared experiences both wonderful and horrifying, and of course laughter, Beyond the Birds and the Bees in time will host thousands of accounts as diverse as naming body parts, coming out to family members, learning about the mechanics and the emotions of sex, dealing with abuse, teaching methods of birth control, disclosing assault, celebrating puberty, handling sex as it relates to disability and discussing menopause with our mothers and daughters.
I think it’s going to be an amazing resource and I’m not just saying that because she published one of my old posts.
Cheers,
sss
