• Did you vote for SexEdEverywhere, my newest social #media & #sex #education project, yet? http://j.mp/seeiwhc No sign-up needed; pass it on! #
  • Up "early" for #SexTech Gotta admit…I'm nervous. Usually I go to tech cons; this time I'll avoid tech track in favor of stuff I don't know. #
  • In Alcazar Theatre for #SexTech I they're playing what sound like entrant tapes to http://SayWhatContest.org. Good backdrop for setting up. #
  • #SexTech #039;s sponsored by NIMH. "It means lot to us to have a federal body supporting our work on behalf of #youth quot; Deb Levine says @ keynote. #
  • "We look at what's popular in #youth culture & insert sexual health into it instd of making prgrms+waiting for them to come to us." #SexTech #
  • Deb Levine's keynote: "Sex is #sex and information is information; we need to inform #youth so that they can be critical thinkers." #SexTech #
  • "To the advocates: give up these town hall meetings, cuz #youth don't go to town hall mtings." Good common-sense #education advice. #SexTech #
  • Advice from youth panelists: Don't just say don't do it, tell me why. Just cuz you have a question doesn't mean you're having #sex #SexTech #
  • Of the 6 #youth panelists, all of them were told "Don't have sex." Only 2 were given any advice abt when/how to say "yes" to #sex #SexTech #
  • Q: Did you get #sex ed at school? A: "Well you could SAY I did. I learned more from my neighbor (about sex) than I did at #school " #SexTech #
  • Separating girls and boys in #sex #education class? "Just cuz we have different parts doesn't mean we shouldn't know about others!" #SexTech #
  • Youth panelist: "Sex education should cover everything that has to do w/our sexuality. Like what the hell are fetishes?!" APPLAUSE. #SexTech #
  • Q: Should there be #sex ed abt homosexuality right beside heterosexuality? A: "I say why not? They put us all in the same classes!" #SexTech #
  • Asked Q to #SexTech #youth panelists: "What incentivizes you to speak up & be public?" Sad my followup "how do you deal w/that got lost." :\ #
  • My Q: "What incentivizes you to speak up about #sex " All #youth gave same answers as adults: legitimize my identity & help others. #SexTech #
  • During keynote, @DebISIS urged #learning from brand marketers. Inspirational for projects like SexEdEverywhere: http://j.mp/seeiwhc #SexTech #
  • Earlier, #youth panelist said: "I'm a fan of the Internet" (to learn about #sex , "but [many sites] are so lengthy & full of text." #SexTech #
  • Rhodes Klement of @poptech intros Innovation Award & calls back to @DebISIS: "We teach ppl how to use brand" to spread #sex ed msg. #SexTech #
  • 497 now! ♺ @helio_girl: Wow, #SexEdEverywhere has 495 votes. Spread the word and head to http://j.mp/seeiwhc to help us reach 500 & beyond! #
  • Meandering Nob Hill w/ @vniow during #SexTech #039;s (long) lunch break. Thinking of going to "Youth First: The Early Adopters" breakout session. #
  • Brainstorming on #marketing & branding for #sexual health & rights w/@vniow. Showing her http://j.mp/seeiwhc Eager for #SexTech to continue! #
  • Not used to slow pace of #SexTech used to fast-paced stuff like @KinkForAll. Speaking of, #KFASF on Mar 21 @SexTech ppl! http://tr.im/kfasf #
  • Met up with @sarahdopp already! w00t! Now, #Youth First session @SexTech starts w/ intros from people who do http://TeenClinic.org. #SexTech #
  • "Youth live as much of their lives online as they do offline" TeenClinic.org speakers say. Their site is pretty cool. Check it out. #SexTech #
  • "We should involve #youth in our #tech outreach," Danielle Watters says abt @TeenClinic. "We built this site as a local #resource " #SexTech #
  • Emily Vanatta of @TeenClinic "We were nervous…but #youth gave awesome feedback!" Soliciting AUDIENCE—not just USER—feedback is key! #SexTech #
  • Hm. @TeenClinic gave out "underground" msgs to #youth via "Where's Clappy?" stickers; benefit = adults DIDN'T KNOW what it was abt. #SexTech #
  • Q: Do you get diff Qs from txt than focus groups? A: "We get lots of anal #sex taboo Qs, & that shows what school isn't teaching." #SexTech #
  • Private #sex Q&A lines run by @TeenClinic like anon SMS services gets "much more personal questions" than group #education methods. #SexTech #
  • "You want to be #gender blind" when it comes to #sex ed, "but we feel that having male leadership is important." Yes very much pls! #SexTech #
  • Interested in all these #SexTech notices from me? See what I'm seeing live at http://justgood.tv Great #tech & #sex #education intersection! #
  • Thx to whoever just pushed SexEdEverywhere proposal over 500 votes! Have you voted yet? http://j.mp/seeiwhc What about you, #SexTech ppl? :) #
  • Powerpoint-style talk by http://HealthShack.info is losing me a little bit. Seems really important but somehow I'm not able to grok much. :( #
  • So, is http://HealthShack.info like home care provider, running "site visits" & "wholistic health" #education w/ sex-positive bent? #SexTech #
  • #Youth concerned their health records are not confidential, speakers from HealthShack.info, a "Personal Health Record" system, say. #SexTech #
  • Aw thx! :D ♺ @clarissethorn I'm always fangirling @maymaym, favorite (other) #BDSM activist, but he's so great! Vote for http://j.mp/seeiwhc #
  • "Numbers are everything" HealthShack.info says. Without accurate stats proving efficacy we can't fund public #sex #health projects! #SexTech #
  • Even #homeless #youth find way to get #Internet access for online #health services, HealthShack.info folks say. Rly? Or only in CA? #SexTech #
  • Library FTW. ♺ @thelinecampaign: Where/how do #homeless #youth get access to the Internet? Public #libraries & youth centers are one option. #
  • "Easier access to condoms needed," especially for #youth living in rural areas. In towns w/100-200 ppl, embarrassment is BIG issue. #SexTech #
  • Interesting! Many #sex ed campaigns start w/concept of "less threatening" cartoon but end up reflecting intended audience w/photos! #SexTech #
  • "Don't recreate anything that's already out there," http://IKnowMine.org creator says. YES! Many free srvcs! See @KinkForAll's use. #SexTech #
  • I insist a lot of $ going to infrastructure costs for #sex #education & #health is misspent. Use free services, make bigger impact! #SexTech #
  • "We want to encourage ppl to take pic of themselves w/ http://IKnowMine.org t-shirt." Simple+effective way to bring online offline. #SexTech #
  • AFTER click "Send me free condoms" on IKnowMine.org site you get informed it's for Alaska only. Lesson is put call to action FIRST. #SexTech #
  • Got stopped by some1 @SexTech said, "You do @KinkForAll uncons, right? http://vimeo.com/tag:kinkforall vids make me so happy!" Yay! #SexTech #
  • Hey #SexTech tweeple: Are you local to San Francisco? I want to meet you. Proposal: Retweet this and include #SexTechInSF so we all know. :) #
  • Filling out paperwork for #KFASF http://tr.im/kfasf during a Powerpoint-like talk @SexTech that feels like repetition from earlier. #SexTech #
  • "We're going to open source the GYTNow.org campaign." That means making participation easy by providing stickers+more. #SexTech #terminology #
  • Just sent official #KFASF reservation w/the Women's Building for Mar 21. It's happening! Check out http://tr.im/kfasf for more & sign up! :D #
  • http://InSpot.org: Send pre-created STI notification ecard to partner anonymously if you contract an #STI Is anon still effective? #SexTech #
  • Content for InSpot.org talk seems like it should go to local gov't, etc. This is the choir; no need to preach to this crowd, no? :\ #SexTech #
  • Next: @SexTech's "Effective Tools for Local #Communities Planned Parenthood Online." Big org challenges not same as independent's. #SexTech #
  • #Internet provide opportunity to consolidate as well as specialize: important to distinguish local content from generalized content #SexTech #
  • Case in point: Over 1 million searches/month for local health centers on PlannedParenthood.org: Global site consolidate local data. #SexTech #
  • Many struggle w/distinguishing content. 1 way to start is to identify AUDIENCE first, then ask yourself what you have to show them. #SexTech #
  • "It's a lot easier to have #sex than it is to talk about sex," so http://SexReally.com saw the opportunity to inspire conversation. #SexTech #
  • Mindmap-like slide Larry Swiader showed is exactly my concept of #social #media "octopus networks," I discussed at @DeviantsOnline. #SexTech #
  • On the #Internet every page is same distance from every other page. IOW, your CONTENT should go to as many other sites as possible. #SexTech #
  • "Octopus networks" have a home page, but tentacle-like content reaches to other sites & pulls visitors back to head. SA: @SexReally #SexTech #
  • "1 of most trusted sources of info, including birth control, is via friends." Of course: social networking=peer-to-peer #education #SexTech #
  • We've been talking about communication tools. What of communication SKILLS? Having the tools doesn't mean you know how to use them. #SexTech #
  • If we succeed in starting conversation, what tools could support that? Interactive scripts ala teleprompter for phone conversation? #SexTech #
  • HOLY SHIT! 90% of 1.7mil visit to http://PPFA.org are women. Of men who speak of "family values" many see parenting as women's job. #SexTech #
  • TX is "a Sate doing everything they can to prevent" getting #sex #health info to ppl who need it. What to do? Win in search engine! #SexTech #
  • Getting ready for "I'm a… Feminist #Sex Educator" panel @SexTech. Haven't seen @melissagira since I was in NYC. Excited about this. #SexTech #
  • Panel starts w/@melissagira saying how started: getting condoms to HS while a student. #Youth need adult allies. http://ur1.ca/npff #SexTech #
  • Don't "target" populations. Empower missing groups of people as potential leaders instead @melissagira advises us @SexTech. AWESOME #SexTech #
  • "I don't have degree—how can I be an educator?" Quote by WhereIsYourLine.org creator is relevant to my interest: http://ur1.ca/ngvd #SexTech #
  • Saudi campaign was inspiration for @thelinecampaign, created by @fancynancynyc w/input frm @melissagira. "Sex-positive & inviting." #SexTech #
  • What does "be inviting" mean to you? To me the heart of the issue is encouragement+questions. Don't tell ppl stuff, ask them stuff. #SexTech #
  • "I'm disturbed by corporate interests corrupting interesting feminist conversation abt sex to sell us stuff," @CorySilverberg says. #SexTech #
  • "Especially since I present as a man," @corysilverberg says, "I call myself a #feminist #sex educator cuz it REQUIRES explanation." #SexTech #
  • Writing by @corysilverberg is SUPERB! Featured his How To Talk to Kids Abt Porn http://ur1.ca/npgo on @KinkOnTap http://ur1.ca/npgs #SexTech #
  • "Who gets to be an educator?" Uni professor @jessfields asks. "I'm interested in what we're talking about but also what we're not." #SexTech #
  • ACTUALLY GOOD POINT: "I wouldn't have been born if my mom had an abortion & I would've been fine w/that too." @HeatherCorinna says. #SexTech #
  • @JessieNYC I think Jessica Fields' #Twitter account is @jessfields. I HOPE, anyway, else that person is very confused right now. ;) #SexTech in reply to JessieNYC #
  • @AnneDouglas That's a given, but that's also no different than current sex #education which is also often scientifically WRONG & unhelpful. in reply to AnneDouglas #
  • ♺ @AnneDouglas: #Youth deserve good facts abt all kinds of #sex & adults need to learn to be gateway openers not gateway guardians. #SexTech #
  • #Feminism can SOUND exclusive of men. @melissagira does feminism thru lens of "gender justice" is far more inclusive. :) Very nice. #SexTech #
  • Asked question about #educators who attack attempts to converse. Mulling over the responses. More thoughts here: http://ur1.ca/ngvd #SexTech #
  • Also spoke up about #submissive #masculinity in Feminist #Sex Educator panel. I write about that LOTS: http://MaleSubmissionArt.com #SexTech #
  • @bma You touch on 2 issues. But pls note, I didn't say men ARE excluded by #feminism I implied they FEEL excluded. BIG difference. #SexTech #
  • @JessieNYC Attendees @SexTech are overwhelmingly white. This is true in all #sex positive space I've been to. @clarissethorn writes on this. in reply to JessieNYC #
  • "There's not always an asker & an answerer" for #sex @HeatherCorinna says. Right! That's what #youth mean by "sex just happened." #SexTech #
  • @bma Maybe heteronormative men feel excluded by #feminism cuz hegemonic culture define #masculine in direct opposition to feminine? #SexTech #
  • Hung out at Press Club for #SexTech wine & cheese social, met LOTS of interesting people. Now back at hotel watching "Let's Talk About Sex." #
  • @gogobera LOL! :) Sorry, I only tweet QUITE this much during conferences. Promise. I'm also on many Twitter lists—follow those to follow me. in reply to gogobera #
  • Home after VERY long day @SexTech. Got to thank @DebISIS at social, follow up w/ @aboutsexuality & others in person. THANK YOU ALL. #SexTech #
  • Totally exhausted, but sent important update on #KFASF Short version: IT'S ON MARCH 21! SPREAD THE WORD! Long version: http://tr.im/PZMs :D #
