  • Spkr @loveuduckydoo tells her story from sex worker to educating the NYPD about gender and sexuality issues. Brilliant! #sex20 #

  • RT @maymaym: At #Internet bullying at #Sex20 Listen to @TBK365 converse about her firing @ http://vb.ly/2934! & read: http://ur1.ca/rr3f #
  • Only old, non-sexy people are allowed to have smart conversations about sex, because "you can't sexualize them" says @loveuduckydoo. #sex20 #
  • "You can be both!" says @LoveUDuckyDoo People aren't EITHER saints or sinners, even in #sexuality #circles. See Dr.Ruth, fr'instance. #sex20 #
  • I assume Perez HIlton wants to write the shit that Perez Hilton writes. But to be fair, @LoveUDuckyDoo, I don't understand WHY. #Sex20 #
  • The most important thing you can learn as a sex educator is to just #shut #up and #listen says. Again, same as the rest of life. #sex20 #

  • In the #KinkOnTap chatroom (http://bit.ly/b9bYxw), hoping for folks to come chat about #Sex20 #Media #Panel w/ @maymaym is starting! #
  • @FierceKitty I think you're looking for @maymaym. Common mistake! in reply to FierceKitty #
  • I think @reidaboutsex just called shot-gun on a spanking. Is that allowed? #Sex20 #
  • Apparently I should have edited @maymaym's #Sex20 bio for run-on sentences. Oops! Gotta pay attention if I'm to be #Organization #Goddess. #
  • @maymaym, the backchannel is definitely not updating. #
  • It's always odd to me to watch a panel from over the tops of panelists' laptops. But I guess that's what you get w/ #Media #Whores. #Sex20 #
  • Worth noting that the "whore" in #Media #Whore is acronym for We #Honor Ourselves w/ Respect & #Empowerment Kitschy, sure, but wise. #Sex20 #
  • If you speak on the media, saying "off the record" is like saying "no offense" when you're being offensive. It just. #Doesn #039;t. #Work #Sex20 #
  • "Why do you ask?" is the best protection against unreasonable, off-topic questions says @ReidAboutSex. #Good #advice. #Sex20 #
  • Holygod. Between #KinkOnTap chat and #twitter I feel like I'm just a conduit for #Sex20 information. Which is, frankly, kinda cool! #
  • Panelist @FierceKitty gives one simple piece of good advice: know your #Top #10 #Google #Results. This is now we protect our info. #sex20 #
  • So. True. @ReidAboutSex just described himself as a golden retriever on espresso. That's just terrifyingly accurate. #Sex20 #
  • All press, even "negative" press, just brings people back to your #site says @ReidAboutSex. So make it a good one, guys. #Sex20 #
  • Just deactivated my #facebook account. I will miss the #photos but I'll learn to love #flickr and I'll know that I'm safer. #
  • RT @Ropecast: "Anne Coulter called you UGLY?" "Yeah. I know. Talk about hypocrisy." – @maymaym #sex20 #
  • #Be who you are. #Love what you do. Put it out there, and make it #accessible You will #change the #world #Sex20 #
  • @nikolasco who what now? in reply to nikolasco #
  • The Internet is a big & scary place, with a lot of useful (& less useful) places to put your #info Don't be afraid to ask for #help #sex20 #
  • #Media #Panel is giving #WordPress love. Useful, simple, know it, love it. #Sex20 #Information #Technology #
  • @HiOhMegan Sure! Short answer, I don't use it, and I don't trust 'em with my info. Want it off my google hits. in reply to HiOhMegan #
  • If you want to learn, skip school and head to http://ted.com. Watch the #brilliance I hear it whenever @maymaym speaks. I'm inspired. #sex20 #
  • @Ropecast What is this Namespace y'all are talkin' about? in reply to Ropecast #
  • Remember, says @ReidAboutSex – That you're even AT this conference means you're not like #other #people. Yes. Right. #Bubble #Sex20 #
  • #Find your #audience and talk to them where the are (not where you are) says @cunningminx. More #good #advice from the #media #panel. #Sex20 #
  • You're never too cool to become outdated. As great as I am with my laptop, I can't use a complex phone for crap-but youth live on 'em #sex20 #
  • Quote: "The Internet is 15 years old and hasn't even gotten laid yet." IMAGINE the world once the #Internet starts #banging #sex20 #
  • Heh. @maymaym tells us that he speaks quickly – and demonstrates it, too! #sex20 #
  • First #google hit for my legal name is my undergraduate #thesis Shortly thereafter, #KinkForAll press releases. Good – I like this girl. #
  • Back at #Sex20 as @Ropecast begins his presentation about coming #out #First (and perhaps #hardest step – coming out to #yourself #
  • Change must happen – you'll come out, and out, and out again, as you learn the person you are. @ropecast #Sex20 #
  • "Daddy what's that on your screen?" "That's a grown up toy." "Why's it pulling that man's penis down?" "Cuz that's how it works!" #sex20 #
  • #Love is #hard It doesn't matter how you do it, it will lift you to the clouds and throw you to the dogs. Get over it, be #joyous #Sex20 #
  • If you'd like to chat about #Sex20 in realtime, come join @maymaym and I in the #KinkOnTap chatroom (http://bit.ly/c6ZxCb). It's a blast! #
  • Being the "sexuality" person in a friend group can be an interesting – and onerous – social position. #Sex20 @ropecast #
  • RT @EssinEm: Please retweet: the @fascinationsfun gift bags are 100% recycleable, for if you don't want to keep them. #sex20 #
  • "I don't care what he does in his spare time, we need him. He's good at his job." Should be protection. Sad It isn't always. #sex20 @TBK365 #
  • @HiOhMegan oh sad! I have radishes and blueberries and cherries in the room, if they would help! in reply to HiOhMegan #
  • Hey, @TBK365! We're talking about you AGAIN! @Ropecast, this time. Told you you'd be here in spirit. #sex20 #
  • The story about @TBK365 firings just doesn't get any easier to hear. @ropecast speaks with all the righteous indignation I that feel. #sex20 #
  • It's nice not to have to be somebody's first kinky friend – but when you are, and you're open, you're doing them a service. #Sex20 @ropecast #
  • Wow, @EssinEm, that is super cool! Broadcast that story, to help combat our fears that the world has only close-mindedness and fear. #sex20 in reply to EssinEm #
  • "If someone can prove the way you have #sex is #wrong it gives them power over you."-@ropecast How can you "prove" any sex is wrong? #sex20 #
  • I gotta say, @ropecast sure SOUNDS like a great Dad. And I love (LOVE) #sexpositive #parenting stories. #sex20 #
  • The best answer to a BS "you understand" is "No. I don't. Please explain it to me." No one can assume your opinions or anger for you. #sex20 #
  • Interesting conversation in the KinkOnTap chatroom (http://bit.ly/c6ZxCb) about media at #sex20 Join in! Share your thoughts! @sex20con #
  • So excited for @maymaym's presentation on #transparency Hard work, but he's brilliant. #sex20 #
  • @EssinEm We'll come grab you just as soon as May's pres is done. Hang tight! in reply to EssinEm #
  • Creative Commons and Wiki technology provides @maymaym with a brilliant example of how to be #accessible and #accountable #sex20 #
  • SO pleased that @maymaym's #sex20 presentation is also streaming at http://bit.ly/c6ZxCb. We've got viewers and a chatroom – please join in! #
  • #Wiki #Technology has spread so far so quickly precisely BECAUSE it is both #accessible and #accountable says @maymaym. #sex20 #
  • By being #transparent @maymaym says we both #teach and #learn at the same time. And that's how you change the world – better. #sex20 #
  • There are the pple who already get it, the pple who will never get it – & the pple who need more info. #Transparency is for group 3. #sex20 #
  • By showing people #how you do what you do, you #empower them to do what you do – or do what they do, better. That's #transparency #sex20 #
  • Transparency can be scary – but by owning your own information, you are always safer. No one can control it but you. #sex20 @maymaym #
  • "How do you be completely accessible and still have the boundaries and the privacy you need to be safe?" 1st #transparency #question #sex20 #
  • I love that among the #laptops there are plenty of folks here at #sex20 bent over #notebooks avidly taking notes in @maymaym's presentation! #
  • RT @ReidAboutSex: Promises aren't accountable. – @maymaym #sex20 #
  • "You cannot have free speech without #anonymity – but if you have anonymity, people aren't using #social #capital." – @maymaym #sex20 #
  • Brilliant! @maymaym projects google searches for both "maymay" and his legal name – totally different information comes up. #sex20 #
  • Brilliant conversation in the #KinkOnTap chat (http://bit.ly/c6ZxCb)! I'm SO glad we got that up for this presentation. @maymaym #sex20 #
  • RT @HiOhMegan: When someone asks a question, they are giving a gift. Honor that vulnerability so they can learn to honor themselves. #sex20 #
  • Dear @maymaym: You are a dork. Everybody loves you – several people THANKED you. Keep spreading the good word, my dear. #sex20 in reply to maymaym #
  • Seattle has dropped its charade of sun. I am listening to @reidaboutsex tell me how to get my needs met, & #raindrops on the windows. #sex20 #
  • #Decompress regularly to #avoid total #meltdown @ReidAboutSex advises his audience of exhausted community leaders. Good plan. #Sex20 #
  • "It's fucking #tough doing this #work quot; – @ReidAboutSex. This is the truest thing I've heard today, & I'm so glad somebody owned it. #sex20 #
  • Do what you want. If ya gotta work hard, work hard. If you come home from your job to 5 hours more work, do that. But take care, too. #sex20 #
  • Thanks, @maymaym. Hard won skills-but communication is more important than a few people talking, so I (& @ReidAboutSex, & you) learn. #sex20 in reply to maymaym #
  • Yeah, @Ropecast, for driven people, selfcare is the hardest part, hands down. I learned it early, & picked up working-too-hard after. #sex20 in reply to Ropecast #
  • This is an amazing pres!1/2 great advice about working hard & taking care of yourself, 1/2 Who-Wants-T'Sleep-W/@ReidAboutSex. Slut 😉 #Sex20 #
  • Wait, @Ropecast are we talking about who @ReidAboutSex wants to bang, or who wants to be bangin' him? #Sex20 in reply to Ropecast #
  • Good point @bigolpoofter! There's also always the concern that you're just not enough people for him! #Sex20 in reply to bigolpoofter #
  • Ok At this point I have no idea what @ReidAboutSex is saying, but I hope he doesn't stop talking. This is great! #Sex20 #
  • Funny, @maymaym, I feel like I'm great at idea stuff, great at talking about sex stuff-but trying to just DO it? #Hard & #scary #Sex20 in reply to maymaym #
  • Just realized that @ReidAboutSex somehow managed to somehow conflate #workaholism & #casual #sex – and the advice still holds! HOW?! #sex20 #
  • @Ropecast What's "good" at this? Conferences are so amazing, but take so much out of us. It's as tiring to learn as to teach. in reply to Ropecast #
  • RT @Ropecast: "Do not fuck students. Do not fuck fans at events." Hmm. @reidaboutsex #sex20 – This might apply to me one day! #Terrifying #
  • "It is my belief that most people are yelling because they don't feel heard" – @ReidAboutSex. True. #Sex20 @maymaym #
  • Don't. Stick it. In. The crazy. – @ReidAboutSex– And every other thinking person. Be a #thinking #person. #Sex20 #
  • "Believe me, I sleep with everybody, I do my due diligence." – @ReidAboutSex. Y'know, I don't doubt him for a second. #Sex20 #
  • Whatever you do, if you interact with people, leave them feeling seen and heard. Be it #sex or #organizational #consulting – #engage #sex20 #
  • Apparently @ReidAboutSex gets insecure after he talks, too! Am I gonna wind up holding him and @maymaym alternately? #Sex20 #

Twitter Weekly Updates for 2010-05-09

  • Morning. Missed signals all over the place last night, leaves me feeling sickish with waiting. The best laid plans and all that. No blame. #
  • @HiOhMegan That would be brilliant! I work till 5:30. in reply to HiOhMegan #
  • @HiOhMegan Perfect! in reply to HiOhMegan #
  • Here's a neat thought: as sexuality evolves, you can #GAIN #virginities, as new acts/partners take on meaning & import. #rethinkingvirginity #
  • #Rethinkingvirginity asks: Why do we talk of "losing" virginity"? Who pays it so little attention? Possibly better: #change "#letgo, #drop #
  • #RethinkingVirginity points out: US has only 2 options of sex-ed. "Abstinence Only" & "Comprehensive." Should be called "#Abstinence #Plus " #
  • But the idea that if you teach anything beyond abstinence you're providing "comprehensive" information is bullshit. #RethinkingVirginity #
  • There should #always be room for #abstinence as a #choice #never #enforcement of it as a #norm #RethinkingVirginity #
  • Why is #abstinence couched in the #negative Either sex is bad, or from the other side abstinence itself is. Strange. #RethinkingVirginity #
  • "It's a fallacy to think that given an abundance of information young people will get confused" #Youth have brains too! #RethinkingVirginity #
  • Finding myself amazed & awed that we've reached the point of saying "opposite gender, so to speak." #postpostpostgender #RethinkingVirginity #
  • If virginity is transformative sexual experience, I think I lost mine a year ago finding #denial as a #core #desire. 5 yrs post intercourse. #
  • Waiting for the #SexPanic #Panel to start. Tackling sexuality, education, free speach & censorship. So excited! #
  • #Sex Panic Panelist & @BrownSHEEC chair @pledgemistress tells us abt college #sex #weeks across the country. #Health & #safety a priority. #
  • #SexPanic Panelist @ReidAboutSex explains that when #New #Yorkers pay for #hugs the Apocalypse is nigh. His #cuddle #parties lead to #doom #
  • Panelist @ReidAboutSex reminds us that while #college #sexed may not meet everyone's #interests that's a reason to #broaden it, not end it. #
  • #SexPanic Panelist & Brown University administrator explains how the U works w students to create great programing w/out content restriction #
  • #SexPanic Panelis @hiohmegan tells us that most of her job as a sex #educator is making people #feel #better about their #bodies & #desires #
  • 'Just because I talk about something does not mean I'm telling people to go out & do it!' says @hiohmegan. Sad that needs saying! #SexPanic #
  • Now @maymaym talks. Gonna watch not tweet. Watch it yourselves. #sexpanic #
  • Moderator asks what the #limits should be when #talking about #sex Hmm. #sexpanic #
  • Panelist @ReidAboutSex opines that the edgiest #sex #discussion occurs between sex educators too cut off from other social spaces. #sexpanic #
  • Panelist @pledgemistress asks – how will you know where your line is if you don't know what you're drawing it between? #sexpanic #education #
  • Panelist @maymaym reminds us we have many rights, but the right to live unoffended is not among them. #sexpanic #
  • Question: 'How have you dealt with it when people attack the way you educate?' @hiohmegan: 'Freak out.: Good 1st step! Then, talk. #sexpanic #
  • Conversation is engendered when people don't feel judged for difference, @ReidAboutSex tells us. But how do you ensure THAT? #sexpanic #
  • Amazing how quickly fear spreads – as it turns to hate and anger, it even spreads to the people we're being told to be afraid of. #sexpanic #
  • Question: 'What's the difference between what's offensive & what's harmful, esp. when #hate #speach is involved?' #sexpanic #
  • Perhaps a distinction between offense & harm lies in the direction. It's one thing to make a general statement, another to harass. #sexpanic #
  • Realizing I need to start listening to more #Grateful #Dead, stat. Missing Uncle John's Band. Also, time has slowed. 5 days ago was forever. #
  • @sarahdopp @jamesbcarp D'awwwwww…. you guys… (cc @maymaym) #
  • @bewareleopard Sending love for you!! Hope all is well! in reply to bewareleopard #
  • What's red on top, white below, and unutterably adorable? @maymaym, that's what. #
  • Kid at library just asked me about my #birth #control pills. I explained they were to #prevent #parasites. I only speak the #truth #
  • So tired. So Horny. Yawning fit to suck all oxygen in 2 mile radius in to help support my brain. Can I do the next four hours? Sure I can! #
