Sex Positive Week - Huge Success!

Sex Positive Week was a huge success. There were books for sale, free stickers, political info about crucial issues on the ballot (NO on Props 4 and 8!), demonstrations by Babeland, and our panel asking What Does It Mean to Be Sex Positive?

There were terrific questions asked by audience members with great discussion that followed. After that, Jillian Lauren, Ashleigh Klein, Amy Lee and Shira Tarrant continued the convo with radio host Glenn Zucman. More info and links to come when the show is ready to air.
