• Great dinner talking w/ @ellie_lumpesse, @furrygirl, more+finally met @sarahdopp in @playwithmatch’s suite—truly awesome. I like new crowds. #
  • Got more of a “real” presentation done for one of my @Sex20Con talks, still totally freaking out over the other. Running on fumes…sleep now. #
  • Made it to #Sex20 just on time. Said hello to @BarbaraCarellas & @katebornstein on my way in+sitting next to @viviane212 for the keynote. :) #
  • @MelissaGira on Internet+sex at #Sex20: “Thank god for all the #mommy #bloggers who blog about #sex, since they make that seem somewhat ok.” #
  • Sitting in on @AvatarKoo’s #Sex20 talk but I’m being pulled in about 20 directions. Trying to put thoughts in order for my own presentation. #
  • @AvatarKoo: #Romantic #erotica “caters to an audience ignored or misunderstood by #sex industries.” Such books “aren’t the same biz.” #Sex20 #
  • @AvatarKoo’s talking about Japanese “cell phone erotica.” They’re “almost like twittering a romance novel” one SMS message at a time. #Sex20 #
  • @AvatarKoo says, “Women are using tech like men but to consume ‘chick porn!'” Q: why’s the #sex #industry so unapproachable to women? #Sex20 #
  • Stirring up a discussion at @AvatarKoo’s #Sex20 talk of why romance text is more approachable. I’ve stepped up—now I’ll be stepping back. :) #
  • @Nobilis says, “Text format’s neurologically appealing to women.” I DISAGREE! Big female audience on http://MaleSubmissionArt.com! :D #Sex20 #
  • â™» @viviane212: “Everyone, please, please use the #sex20 hashtag, so your tweets can be found.” Yes. KISS it, and keep it together. #taxonomy #
  • @writingdirty said “A lot of #porn people pay for is actlly less explicit than what you can get for #free.” I’ve NEVER paid for porn. #Sex20 #
  • Debating btw @audaciaray & @Mollena’s presos. I want to learn about !sex work and #politics from Dacia, but Mollena has a freak flag! #Sex20 #
  • “Figuring out who you’re going to be” mean “you’re not out yet”? No—at 12 I was “out” re bipolar disorder+I had incomplete knowledge! #Sex20 #
  • @Mollena says that “by being ‘out’ I had a lot of availability to information.” That’s the transparency+privacy I’m talking about! :) #Sex20 #
  • @Mollena is an AMAZING speaker. Has the whole room laughing while discussing hard personal issues of being black in !BDSM #community. #Sex20 #
  • @Mollena at #Sex20, “We’re not here to convert, but by being out, you give other people permission to be who they are by being who you are.” #
  • @writingdirty I specifically do NOT buy from @KinkDotCom but this is because I don’t think they make good porn for men who’re submissive. :P in reply to writingdirty #
  • @Mollena says, “I’ve [stopped] calling people ‘vanilla’ because[…]his idea of what’s normal is closer to my idea of what’s kinky.” :) #Sex20 #
  • !BDSM !GLBT !poly LISTEN UP: @ #Sex20 @Mollena says “It’s important for us to realize that there’s still intolerance…WITHIN the #community.” #
  • â™» @ScarletLotus: “You’re never going to get what you want anywhere by hiding who you are. – @Mollena #Sex20″ AND don’t give up your privacy. #
  • @EssinEm Thx for mentioning my “transparency” spiel. :) Lot of what @Mollena is saying is the same message I have; I use other words. #Sex20 #
  • Now isn’t THIS interesting? Thought food. At #Sex20 @Mollena says “The #swinger #community is far more diverse than the !BDSM community is.” #
  • @Ms_Goose I think @Mollena is totally correct. #Swinger #community’s much more “mainstreamed” than !BDSM is+it’s totally our failing. #Sex20 in reply to Ms_Goose #
  • I’m uncomfortable with saying “!BDSM/kink.” Take a look at !GLBT vs. genderqueer, swinger’s “mainstreaming.” Is swinging “not kinky”? #Sex20 #
  • @EssinEm Why’s “out & normalize” NOT same as “out & political”? I’m not happy about “assimilation” but equally unhappy with normalcy. #Sex20 in reply to EssinEm #
  • @avatarkoo Try asking @UnspeakableAxe about “explicit material” in #podcasts. Get his http://MasoCast.com from #iTunes & it’s VERY explicit. in reply to avatarkoo #
  • Interesting for me to see “photography ok?” stickers on #Sex20 nametags—I’ve seen lots of red & green, few yellow. If you chose yellow, why? #
  • @EssinEm I still don’t grok. How’s politicizing being out not validating for others or making a safe space? I think it absolutely is. #Sex20 in reply to EssinEm #
  • At the Tastee diner with bunches of #Sex20 AND KinkForAll Washington DC people. Talking about getting #KFADC to happen on June 21. Exciting! #
  • @SarahFrantz @Ms_Goose I’m told there’s a huge black #swinger #community in DC. “Diversity”=class, race, age and lots more than just sex. :) in reply to SarahFrantz #
  • Back at #Sex20 hotel. I’m in Classroom 4 visualizing the Communities presentation I’ve been freaking out over…I think I’m making headway. :\ #
  • Wow, Archive.org has some amazing captures of @ConversioVirium’s old web site! http://tr.im/oldcvsite Glad #Sex20 has Wi-Fi…I might need it. #
  • Oy…framed my presentation as 2 stories: @ConversioVirium & @KinkForAll. Hello agenda. And THAT’S why I really wanted a bit more time. #Sex20 #
  • @SarahFrantz @Jaspamaster Disclaimer: I’ve no idea what #swinger #community is like. I would love someone to make it a topic @KinkForAll. :) in reply to SarahFrantz #
  • @Mollena @SarahDopp @IdentityWoman @KateBornstein @Wylddelirium @viviane212 Thx for verbal+cyber comments during my preso—Conversation=sexy! in reply to Mollena #
  • @SaschaK @Wylddelirium I think they’re both: sharing space helps build a community and making a community is required to have parties. !BDSM in reply to SaschaK #
  • Missing a great convo on sexual freedom & how the Internet can be used to reframe the discussion about that. Am frazzled. Calm, self! #Sex20 #
  • @Mollena I’m so adamant about “individual outreach” efforts cuz I think LOYALTY begets ENTITLEMENT, which is the enemy of #community. #Sex20 in reply to Mollena #
  • @audaciaray says, “There’s a big diff between tools & tactics. @Twitter, etc are just tools.” I didn’t realize others didn’t realize. #Sex20 #
  • Oh hey. Did anyone tape my Connecting Disconnected Communities presentation at #Sex20? If so, pls send me the file. Want to make it free. :) #
  • â™» @sarahdopp: “‘Sexual #Freedom is the fundamental human right of…individuals to develop+express their unique #sexuality. Well put.'” #Sex20 #
  • @RicciLevy: “I’ve never spoken to anyone who was opposed to #gay #marriage who was also opposed to equal rights for same-sex couples” #Sex20 #
  • FYI #Sex20 attendees: My “Gender and Technology” presentation’s listed as being in Classroom 2 but is ACTUALLY in Classroom 4! Please RT. :) #
  • My #Sex20 gender & tech preso went well. Totally because I prepared. Thx to @AvatarKoo & @MissCalico for recording video! Will post it soon. #
  • @playwithmatch’s closing remarks: “If you’re organizing an event, don’t do it alone—ask for help.” Exactly how I feel w/ @KinkForAll. #Sex20 #
  • Just finished up the day by helping a few blog newbies through @WordPress basics w/@Viviane212. Always feels good! Now drinks+dinner. #Sex20 #
  • At dinner with @sarahdopp, @melissagira, @amberlrhea, @audaciaray. So much oh my god and intellectual flirting and awesome, I might explode! #
