I cannot recommend "Sex at Dawn" by Christopher Ryan and Cacilda Jetha enough.
I was raised Catholic, and it doesn't matter how much I've thought I've shrugged off the shackles of shame and the idea of feminine sexiness, feminine divinity as the worst of all sin, I'm finding that I still had hang-ups, they were affecting my sex life recently, and I picked up this book (totally without this intention, just on a whim) at the exact right time.
I will say: these authors don't use language that is all-encompassing of the vast spectrum of gender identities and sexualities. However, I haven't found that this alienates me personally (you might feel differently, though!), and I've just identified with the aspects of myself that are male and female as I read the historical record and scientific information about both. I think that the implications of the information being presented, and the seeming academic rigor that the authors uphold makes that worth overlooking, because I think that people of all gender identities raised in modern (especially Western) societies would greatly benefit from reading this book.
So, for what it's worth. I'm about halfway through, and I'll probably post a much more well-written and thoughtful review once I finish the book.

NEW — Chief of the republican #Sexuality Police & proud christo-fascist #MagaMike Johnson told a closed leadership meeting today that he spoke to George Santos again today. And said resigning would be a way to avoid republicans having to take a tough vote. Santos refused to resign and adjourned the house.
Republicans are in disarray. The republican crime wave continues unabated.
“If possible, of course, some bad luck could be produced for the victims or for their institution. Pranks, you know. But again, this is not necessary, and may even get in the way of our pure experiment in mind-fuck and image-manipulation. Let the bastards produce their own bad luck out of their inner sadness at being such evil assholes, out of their atavistic superstition (without which they wouldn’t be such media-wizards), out of their fear of otherness, out of their repressed sexuality. You can be sure they will – or at least, that they’ll remember the ‘curse’ every time something bad happens to them.”

Today in Labor History November 23, 1644: At the height of the English Civil War, John Milton published an anti-censorship pamphlet, “Areopagitica.” He had been censored several times, particularly in his attempts to defend divorce, a radical idea in those days. He anonymously published “The Doctrine and Discipline of Divorce” (1643), which was condemned by the Puritan clergy as heretical and supportive of sexual libertinism.

Sign this petition to ban #ai #gender and #sexuality 'recognition'. This is a very bad road to go down; leads to further discrimination (even if you're cis-het) and risk to life - e.g. consider states where it's illegal to be #gay or #trans or #nonbinary or #gnc and a machine tells law enforcement you don't fit the mold.

@arianesherine Hi Ariane. In the uncut version of Anne Frank's diary she talks about her friend Jacque before she went into hiding. 'I asked her whether as a proof of our friendship we could touch each others breasts. Jacque refused. Every time I see a female nude such as the Venus in my art history book, I go into ecstasy.' She also talks of her desire for Peter hiding in the annex with her and her discussions with him about sex.
One way to help recover from toxic #purityculture is to try something new, like a sexual #retreat or #workshop. Investigate thoroughly before committing your time & money. Then, if it appeals to your curiosity: GO FOR IT. Regardless of whether you use what you learn in the workshop, you empower yourself every time you try something new. #sexuality #sexual #health #empowerment #new #curiosity #goforit

Because i'm just watching some video about some (nonmention) SciFi Lore. There was the question of a female read character, having three boobs.
Obviously, that's a trope actually pictured in movies like Total Recall with Arnold Schwarzenegger way back then..
But here the question already starts.
Three boobs? How to orient them? In a straight line?
Make them staggered?
And there it struck me. Why the - sorry but - fuck, three boobs?
What about 4, 6 .. or 8 as often found on animals.
Why the heck has it to be three?
Makes totally no sense to me..
And as a ab*s* challenged person, this topic is still.... a topic for me.
But in the end.. heck?
Why three?
Why not as usual 4, 6 or 8 in the first place?
Shoot, am i weird oh yes, totally.
Chime in please.

Are you questioning your #sexuality? Have you ever wondered if you're #bisexual? Here's a guide to help you untangle those questions, on the new Sex Ed for Bi Guys official site! #men
I'm a #sex educator (they/he) who writes the Sex Ed for Bi Guys series. SEfBG is hot and candid sex #education for #bisexual and bi+ #men. I use the words bisexual, #polysexual and #queer to explain my #sexuality. I would describe my gender as #satyr or #werewolf.
Besides that, I'm a nerdy #gamer who's into #scifi, #fantasy, #comics, #anime and the like. My #gaming interests include #videogames, #boardgames and #ttrpg. I've been on masto for a while, just moving instances. #introduction
I just started reading "Ace: What asexuality reveals about desire, society and the meaning of sex" by Angela Chen and I'm already more confused than before.
Ever since I'm taking estrogen and antiandrogens I lack sex drive. I always said about myself that "I was always asexual in my head, but my body only turned asexual with the hormones". What I mean is that I never found sex particularly appealing in my head. I was always to some degree scared of it and disgusted of it. But I still wanted to have sex - especially with my first love.
Now the book tells me, that asexuality is the lack of sexual attraction (towards specific persons) not the lack of sex drive. I never thought about that before, but that makes sense to me.
But now I am thinking: I don't have sex drive, but do I have sexual attraction? I do find some people sexy - it's the first thing I notice about them actually and the first thing I judge about them.
Angela Chen describes sexual attraction as "sex drive towards someone" or "sex drive caused by someone", so by that definition you can't have sexual attraction without sex drive, right?
So what I experience, physical attraction - seeing someone, finding them appealing and wanting to be close to them - is not sexual attraction, because I don't want sex?
So I am asexual after all?
Maybe it'll all make more sense when I continue reading the book...

@ralf Boosting even if I have my disagreements with this. I'm of the older bi activist school of thought that #bisexual is a word that resists having just one definition, and I cringe whenever I hear, "bisexuality does not mean...", because oftentimes, yes, it does mean that too. Personally, I push for rehabilitating bisexual as a word that can mean "attractions and desires that can involve #women and #men, among other genders." This is what the word means for a lot of people, and this is how millions of us first begin to make sense of their #sexuality, when they realize they don't just like women or men, but both—because these are the main experience with #gender that most people have. And there needs a word that exists that means that.
What evolutionary biology can and can't tell us about sex, gender, and sexuality.
From the MIT Press Reader: "Some human social constructs like gender are viewed erroneously in an evolutionary context. It’s time for our understanding of a person’s self-identity to evolve."

This collages background is abstract, amd mostly blue, yellow, green, white and red. It was painted using a sponge. It is mostly vertical lines, with some swirls here and there.
This piece is themed around #sexuality and the #pandemic
I’ve not done one of these here yet. Hi! I’m Kayla, PhD candidate in #Ireland looking at suicide methods, locations of suicide and pro-suicide content online/digital communities
I’ve worked in suicide prevention/intervention/postvention for over 7 years and am founder of a non-profit in this area
My interests are wide and varied. Hope to see toots from people interested in #SocialHistory #Photography #InternetCulture #OnlineExtremism #Sexuality #DigitalArchiving #introductions
Talked #accessibility, #music #drugs, #politics and #sexuality when Thomas Logan of https://equalentry.com/ visited Kingston today, thanks for visiting, had a blast!
Are you questioning your #sexuality? Have you ever wondered if you're #bisexual? Here's a guide to help you untangle those questions, on the new Sex Ed for Bi Guys official site! #men
The myth men always want sex is just as harmful as the myth women don't enjoy sex and give it out like a prize for good behaviour. It reduces men to sex-obsessed pests and can limit their capacity / inclination to say say 'no'.

just learned that an anti-trans activist who is pushing "autogynephilia" unwittingly shared my 2020 review (which eviscerates the theory) with their followers haha. if you're looking for weekend reading, you can access that paper (& others) here:

Hello, cutie.city and all other instances and all ships at sea! Yes, it's a new instance, but it's the same old nonsense. 😉
Welcome to Tamsin's Pinned Toot. Please enjoy your stay... unless you're a fascist, a racist, a transphobe, a homophobe, or any other flavor of garbage person, in which case please step on a LEGO forever.
What follows are a few things you might want to know about me if you plan to hang around.
So, who the heck am I?
Hi! I'm Tamsin: a white, middle-aged, #queer, #sapphic, #nonbinary #trans woman who likes doorstopper novels, director's cuts, extended remixes, table-top roleplaying games, 5-string basses, double-cutaway Les Paul Jr. guitars, beaches, forests, mountains, witchy things, living places that haven't outlawed her yet, late nights, lazy afternoons, and writing down half of everything she thinks.
I'm happily monogamously married to a polymath superhero, and we share our lives with my marvelous teenaged offspring, two adorable cats, and a host of delightful friends and co-conspirators.
Things I post about, in no particular order: queer stuff, being a trans girl, #magic, #music, #books, #movies, #TTRPGs, #ADHD, #politics, #philosophy, #spirituality, making stuff, and whatever else is going though my brain at any given moment.
When I talk about #gender and #sexuality, it's probably helpful to know that I have a degree in Gender, Women, and Sexuality Studies (with a focus on #feminist history, queer theory, and trans studies) from the University of Washington. Sometimes I joke that I had to get a degree to realize I'm a gay trans girl, which isn't quite true, but still makes me laugh.
I'm exactly the kind of person who likes prog rock, punk rock, post-punk, trip-hop, house, dark folk, black metal, '70s funk, old-school R&B, early rock'n'roll, acid rock, acid folk, blues, early music, minimalist composers, anime soundtracks, and everything Prince ever recorded.
I have a profound fear of spiders, heights, and isolation.
Sometimes I make things. I craft, I cook, I play (and occasionally run) role-playing games, I play (and occasionally write) music and songs. Most of all, though, I write: essays, poetry, stories, and—when I was feeling particularly sassy—a whole-ass book about gender, sexuality, and queerness for witches, Pagans, and occultists. (If you want to check that last one out, here's the publisher's page: https://llewellyn.com/product.php?ean=9780738761329)
My politics are a simple story: I started out as a liberal in the 1980s and, flying in the face of conventional wisdom, became increasingly leftist as time went by. I support universal healthcare, universal basic income, BLM, antifa, indigenous rights, trans rights, queer resistance, sex workers, undocumented and migrant rights, disability rights, autistic people, plural folks, defunding the police, and radical inclusivity. I'm not an uncritical leftist, however, and I'm probably not ideologically pure enough for most movements. (Then again, I'm a gay trans girl, so most leftist movements don't want me around anyway.)
I offer no quarter for fascism, racism, colonialism, sexism, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, transmisogyny, ableism, or exclusionary gatekeepers. I think all modern conservative movements are intrinsically evil, and if that describes you, exit the ride now. You're gonna have a real bad time otherwise. (I also recommend fixing your heart or, alternately, dying in a fire. Your choice.)
I've never been one of the Cool Kids™, and I never will be. I'm just an middle-aged geek.girl: sad in some ways, happy in many others, with a messy bookstore for a brain and a whirlwind of a heart which loves fiercely, if sometimes clumsily.
It's nice to meet you. 🥰
Last year at my community's #Pride festival, I only showed up for a few minutes before I went home. My #QueerImposterSyndrome got the better of me, I was the only one wearing a mask, and I just felt like I didn't belong.
This year at my community's #PrideMonth festival, I walked around masked with fellow #queer, #CovidCautious friends, reconnected with some folks I used to know through #EconomicJustice organizing, and listened to music by some awesome, local #LGBTQ singer-songwriters.
For anyone who's #Questioning their #SexualOrientation, #Sexuality, or #GenderIdentity, or wondering if it's too late to come out or if #ComingOutAsAnAdult is worth it, it can be really, really hard, and I want to acknowledge that. It can be lonely (though I wish it weren't!). Some days will be more difficult than others, but it can also get better and it can be worth it.
Happy Pride! 🏳️🌈 💗💜💙😷

I thankfully haven't seen any "no kink at Pride" posts this year, perhaps because people now see how they are a mere step away from "don't say gay" policies. I discuss the underlying problems with both claims in this #SexedUp book excerpt from last year (no-paywall):

Here we go on another #introduction !
I'm Meowry, a Brazilian queer software engineer, focused mostly in #FrontEnd development.
Out of work my interests include #makeup, #goth and #cyber subculture, heavy music -- mostly #metal and its subgenres but also eletronic music and #jrock (can you guess what my handle is referencing btw? hehe).
I'm a sociologist at heart and almost got a degree on that field but that's a long story. I'm passionate about academic studies about #gender and #queer #sexuality.
I am #nonmonogamous for more than a decade now and you'll definitely see me talking about it here. I love and support many #erotica and #nsfw art and eventually I'll boost them -- always with CW and image sensitivity filter on by default!
There's a lot more to talk about so feel free to follow! I'll toot mostly in Portuguese-BR but also English.
Thanks for having me! :ablobcatbongo: :BoostOK:
I had an interesting conversation with a family member recently about Pride Month. Even though said family member has always been relatively open-minded about queerness and the LGBTQ+ community, he told me that he still sees Pride as a celebration of sexuality at its core — basically, a month-long orgy. Because he sees it in this way, he understands why others take issue with attempts to incorporate children into Pride celebrations.

I was just conversing with the ever-lovely @jen & the topic of #sexuality / #romanticity came up.
We're both in #lesbian marriages, but I'm #bi & Jen is #pan.
This led to Jen bringing up de facto vs de jure.
So, I described myself as a de facto lesbian, but bi de jure.
The latter made me think of "bi du jour", which then led to this:
"Hello waiter? What's the bi du jour please?"
"Today we have a lovely special on #femboys."
🤭
I've seen multiple ppl posting today (mostly on that other place) about AFAB-only spaces & the presence of real or imagined "penises" making trans women inherently "suspect/dangerous." this is currently my best & most accessible essay on this topic (no-paywall link): "Penises, Privilege, and Feminist & LGBTQ+ Purity Politics"...

Just #recently I've seen #people #claim that #PoleDancing is not #sexual. #Twerking too. #Kissing?
and the #simple #fact is, that it doesn't matter.
There is #nothing #evil about #sexuality.
It's ok that #BarbieDolls have #boobs.
Ok trans fediverse! I need your help!
I'm a straight trans woman, and my timeline is largely sapphic! It's time to even the balance a bit!
So if you've got any queer/trans content that my straight but queer ass might enjoy, please spam me with it! Memes, people/hashtags to follow, stories, I don't care what it is, I'll take it all :)
