A few midweek reminders:
• sex doesn’t have to include love
• love doesn’t have to include sex
• sex & love don’t have to include commitment
• commitment doesn’t have to include sex & love
• be kind to spiders 🕷

Did anyone else get a little teary eyed when @katebornstein said she would do our time in hell for playing with gender and sex? Just me? 😭🥰 #AASECTConference #letthebodyrejoice

In discussing gender: “The structure of a binary is a battlefield. ... The structure of a polynary is a playground.” — @katebornstein #AASECTConference #letthebodyrejoice

It’s 9am and I’ve already played with three sex toys and gotten two samples of lube. I love this. #AASECTConference #sextherapy #AASECT19

[Tim Norton @TimNortonLCSW]

Hundreds of sex educators and sex therapists and sex everything all in one hotel?! That's my idea of a work conference! Already got my first free lube sample :) #aasect19

Something is seriously wrong with our society.

Ready for the keynote at the first night of #AAMFT18

[Psychology Today @PsychToday]

Be nice—but not too nice. Why being overly accommodating can harm your relationships and mental health https://t.co/xEbXGoQ4Kz

[Peggy Orenstein @peggyorenstein]

YAY! Why is sex ed the ONLY class we allow parents to opt out of for religious reasons? Would we allow opting out of science bc it teaches evolution? English when they read "Harry Potter?" No. It is ridiculous. Ideology over public health. Full stop.

[Karamo @Karamo]

It’s important to teach young boys that they don’t have to only look up to men... that it’s awesome if a women is their hero too! I tell my sons this everyday. All of my heroes are women... from my granny to my mom, to my 10th grade math teach Ms. Silva to Michelle Obama!

[Johnna Hjersman @JohnnaHj]

@micahmertes I have a similar strategy. If I cackle and guffaw loud enough, then I can’t hear anyone else laughing at me. 😎

[Johnna Hjersman @JohnnaHj]

@micahmertes That is basically the first thing I learned on my way to becoming a therapist: your childhood and family-inflicted emotional wounds are with you FOREVER.

[Johnna Hjersman @JohnnaHj]

@micahmertes Yay!! This looks so good! I was very intrigued when I heard Bo Burnham attached to what looks like a super authentic depiction of what, for me at least, was a super painful/hopeful period of development.

[Johnna Hjersman @JohnnaHj]

@KristenLilla Nope.
