Check out my interview with the Toronto-based Dollmag.ca! I talk about the impetus behind Feminist Coming Out Day and lament the highly idealized version of sex depicted in popular culture. An excerpt:

“Real sex is sometimes messy and embarrassing and doesn’t always work out the way you planned. Treating it like it’s something that’s perfect all time (makes) people feel like there’s something wrong with them if they don’t like vanilla sex, or if they can’t come, or if they’re not as great in bed as they’d like to be.”

Number one reason why I call myself a “reluctant sexpert” on my professional website: I’m not here to tell you the secret formula for amazing sex or true love. In fact, I think the overemphasis in our society on achieving both leaves way too many people feeling inadequate for not wanting or being able to.
