It's always such an awesome gift when someone chooses to share their gender or sexuality exploration with me, and I strive to be a safe space for people to explore those parts of their identities.
So far in the last year, I've had people come out to me as bi, pan, ace, nonbinary, trans, and generally queer. And I'm so thankful for the trust that takes, and the opportunity to be a part of their journeys.

We’ve all heard men say it at some point.
Wait, you like women? Me too! I guess we’re both lesbians.

PsyPost: Erotic webcam viewers experience conflicting emotions and ethical tensions. “A new study exploring viewer experiences on erotic webcam sites reveals complex, often contradictory emotions among users, highlighting both positive and negative aspects for viewers and performers.”
I continue to be terrible at self-promotion and thus completely forgot to mention that the "Bloomsbury Handbook of Sex and Sexuality in Game Studies", for which I wrote a chapter on digital games and sexual health, has recently been published!
The book offers a wide range of perspectives on this widely neglected, but incredibly fascinating topic, so make sure to check it out if you're even remotely interested in exploring relationships and sexuality in interactive virtual spaces, queer representation, or the history of eroticism in the medium.
Big Bi+ Questions

I think the confusion about #sexuality has a lot to do that we, at least sometimes, refuse to talk about youth sexuality. Instead, we ban #drag queens reading child books in schools. According to some research, we must even lower the age of consent somewhat for healthy sexuality development: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6436061/ & https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qq4-TRBKnfxC6avrkFijpCt1UmKfneQZ/view
"In her preface #Hite argued that the canonical sexological works of the past 100 years – including the works of Sigmund #Freud, Alfred #Kinsey, and William #Masters and Virginia #Johnson – had constructed #femalesexuality “as essentially a response to male #sexuality and intercourse”. She set out to demonstrate that “female sexuality might have a complex nature of its own”.
Hite argued #sex was a #culturalinstitution, not a biological one. Historically, men had defined sex in terms of their own needs and preferences, then mandated their preferences as biological."

Hmmmm... Why am I having #DejaVu?
From 2022: "Vladimir #Putin has mentioned 'gender freedoms' more than once to justify #Russia’s war against #Ukraine and simultaneously crack down on its own citizens.
"Most directly, he alleged that Russian citizens who seek '#GenderFreedoms' (alongside foie gras and oysters) are part of the anti-Russian 'fifth column.'
"Gender and sexuality freedoms — or rights, as they are more typically called — are about #BodilyAutonomy, #diversity and #inclusivity. #Feminist and #LGBTQ+ activists assert that every human being deserves respect, recognition and equal rights regardless of their gender or sexuality.
"What’s the connection between Putin’s animosity toward Ukraine and toward #gender and #sexuality rights in Russia and around the world?
Gender and Putin’s regime
"Putin’s regime has increasingly relied on very conventional gender and sexual norms.
"When he first ascended to the presidency, image-makers used Putin’s #KGB background and penchant for physical fitness to frame him as a #macho #strongman who could reverse Russia’s waning power and 'remasculinize' the country after a decade of supposed geopolitical flaccidity in the wake of the #Soviet collapse.
"In other words, an inflexible and clearly #patriarchal notion of masculinity has been central to the Putin regime’s legitimacy.
"Russia’s foreign policy has relied on rigid gender norms as well. When Ukraine underwent its first pro-democracy revolution in 2004, Russian media questioned its leaders’ masculinity.
"Putin likewise used homophobic terms to dismiss #Georgia’s #RoseRevolution in 2003, responding to a reporter’s question by saying: 'A rose revolution — next they’ll come up with a light blue one.' In Russian, 'light blue' or goluboi is slang for “gay male.”
Gender and appealing to constituencies
"Putin has often been represented as the unquestioned leader of the pack ruling Russia — a masculinity-driven image.
"However, even as the leader of a personalist #dictatorship — a regime in which there are few institutional limits on the leader’s power — Putin must balance competing interests among significant elites and maintain at least the appearance of public support in order to be considered a legitimate ruler.
"Until 2020, Putin was using gendered language in his speeches to signal his alignment with a variety of elites and public constituencies that supported him. He was sending mixed signals to both relatively progressive Russians who value women’s roles in the workplace and to #conservatives wishing for a return to '#TraditionalFamilyValues,' in order to keep everyone in his camp.
"But after July 2021, when he published an essay contending Ukrainians and Russians are a single people, Putin no longer shied away from making sexist and LGBTQ+-phobic comments in prominent settings.
"At an October 2021 meeting of the Valdai Discussion Club — a Moscow-based think tank and discussion forum that Putin is closely associated with — he said teaching children about #GenderFluidity was 'truly monstrous' and 'verging on a crime against humanity.'"
