M. Makael Newby What qualifies as consent, and who are the laws established to protect?

carnalnation.com
I was brought up in Massachusetts, a place known for its college campuses, colorful leaves, and the first state to recognize same-sex marriage. But one of the moments I remember best, and the event that got me interested in the politics of sexuality, was an event in 2001 called “Paddleboro”.

M. Makael Newby Planning out my next Choose-Your-Own Erotica. Possibly two books... same/interlacing story - one male perspective, one female?

First, you have to figure out how to compete with the guy in the next cubicle. After all, he went to a school almost as good as yours. His grades were nearly as good as yours, too. He works hard. In fact, most mornings, he's the second person in the office. You know this, because you're always first...

    • Mary Katherine Maulucci For those of you who haven't seen the movie "Arthur" with Dudley Moore, Liza Minelli and Sir John Gielgud, I recommend it very, VERY highly. For those of you who have seen it, please recall what Sir John Gielgud says to Dudley Moore in the morning-after scene at the beginning of the movie.

    • Sherry Booth Dearborn I don't remember what he said, but I do remember that I did NOT like that movie! But then, I don't like Liza either.
      August 27 at 9:00am ·
    • Mary Katherine Maulucci This scene takes place before Dudley meets Liza. Sir John has just shooed a prostitute out of the house, and Dudley goes to take a bath. While reading a newspaper, Sir John lowers the paper and calls out, "Would you like me to come in and wash your dick, sir?"

      M. Makael Newby Non-binary gender thought flirts with the mainstream.

      carnalnation.com
      The genderqueer movement has been around long enough that those of us living in urban enclaves with strong sex-positive communities can get a little blasé about people who have decided that they don't fit into the male/female dichotomy. But for the rest of the country, such an idea is downright frea...

          M. Makael Newby Ooooh, I might take some heat for this one. First, I do NOT listen to Dr. Laura. In general, I don't like what I hear from her. AND - while I think that her personal opinions got in the way of having an adult conversation about a charged topic - she DOES have a point here. My best friends are black, so are many of my e...xes. I was a racial minority in my high school. And I cannot say the N-word, no matter my intention in the speaking. I can say homees, peeps, etc., but I could never say "What's up, my N****s?" BECAUSE I'm white. Should a word - not the meaning, the WORD - be restricted by race? The sad part here is that the caller had a valid concern and questions that went unanswered. I'D like to speak with HER!

          On August 10, Dr. Laura Schlessinger launched into a racially charged rant, during which Schlessinger -- in her own words -- "articulated the 'n' word all the way out -- more than one time." Among other things, Schlessinger also told an African-American caller that... she had a "chip on [her] sho...

              I see that Dr. Laura has decided to quit her show over this matter.. too bad. While I do not agree with her on some subjects I value anyone who articulates their position clearly, and she does. I do not believe that there is only one way to... be successful, just as I do believe that there are some things that will NOT be successful. Mostly when I disagree with her it's because she believes that in certain areas, like sexuality and relationships, there is only one way to be successful and to her that means monogamy... I would agree that it's the most simple kind of relationship to be successful in, but not neccessarily the only way.See More

            • Sherry Booth Dearborn I didn't like the way she never really adressed the callers concerns before they got off on the subject of the N word. And if she ansered the question, maybe they wouldn't have gotten all into the Word. Maybe its good they did? What do I know. I don't care for Dr Laura much anyway.

          M. Makael Newby Can you imagine my Choose-Your-Own Erotica on the iPhone - with sound effects?! "Oh, yes, Yes!!"

          The classic children's book series puts you, the reader, in charge of your own fate: Will you emerge king of the dominion? Or meet your end in a duel with a sea monster? Now, a new iPhone application aims to revive the series for a digital generation of readers.
