My advice must be the meaning of life), you can see what I had to say to a person whose girlfriend masturbates A LOT and to someone looking to start exploring his anal pleasure zones in the safest way possible.</p>

<p><em>Question: I have been celebrate for almost three years, and am terrified to &#8220;get back out there.&#8221; Any tips on how to reverse or overcome my apparent phobia?<br />
</em></p>
<p>Answer: This can be a scary question to even ask, the I applaud you on putting yourself out there by showcasing self awareness of your nervousness.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s tough for EVERYONE to be out there, whether they have never dated, never had sexual partners, etc, whether they have taken some time off from being sexual, or whether they have a different partner every week. We all innately have a huge fear of rejection, whether from family, friends, potential partners, current partners, employers, etc. Being &#8220;out there,&#8221; what ever that looks like, can be really hard for any one.</p>
<p>Tip number 1: Be yourself. It&#8217;s very easy to try and mimic people in magazines, TV shows, fashion shows, head of cliques, etc. Sometimes it feels as though playing a role is easier than being ourselves, because if we do wind up feeling rejected, we can comfort ourselves with the idea that it was out facade that was rejected, not actually ourselves. However, being yourself is a) easier, because you&#8217;re not trying to be someone else and b) better, because if you do wind up finding someone you like, and they are interested back, you will KNOW that it is truly you they like, and not wonder if it is the role you&#8217;re playing.</p>
<p>Tip number 2: Don&#8217;t make too many goals. When we are so set on finding someone to kiss/fuck/date/marry/bring home to mom, we often psych ourselves out. Most couples will tell you that they found their ideal partner just when they had given up looking, or had taken a step back from aggressively searching. Why? Because it&#8217;s easier to just be you when you aren&#8217;t searching actively for someone, and because people will see a more relaxed you, rather than the trying to impress people you, which is usually what people prefer.</p>
<p>Tip number 3: Meet people in areas of YOUR interest. For some reason, it&#8217;s thought that meeting people in bars is a great idea. And it is possible that for some specific people, it is. If you frequently hang out in bars, that might be a good place to try. However, if like most people, you hang out more often in places that don&#8217;t have tall stools and booze, you should try to meet people in areas in which you feel comfortable. Like chess? Chat up that cutie at chess club. More of a runner? Ask that smarty pants to be your jogging buddy! Spend a lot of time volunteering at an animal shelter? See if your fellow volunteer would like to talk up the cute kitties and puppies after your shift. This way, you know you already have a shared interest that goes beyond getting wasted.</p>
<p>Tip number 4: Be gentle to yourself. Getting &#8220;back out there&#8221; can feel incredibly intense, and if you are super nervous about it, you may either go under board or overboard, over share or under share&#8230;and guess what? It&#8217;s all ok. Just take your time, relax, and congratulate yourself for even giving it a good try and getting back out there. No hurry on finding the one, whether it&#8217;s for one evening or for longer. Take a breath, take care of yourself.</p>
<p>Best of luck,</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Question: Does semen whiten your teeth?<br />
</em></p>
<p>Answer: As much as you may want to hear that swallowing in the course of a blow job will act like Crest Whitening Strips, I hate to break it to you; this is one of the many myths associated with sex, and semen specifically. And while we&#8217;re at it; nor does semen provide your daily nutritional needs in the protein department.</p>
<p>Feel free to choose whether to swallow or not; that is always and will always be up to you. Just remember the following:</p>
<p>a) Semen can contain STIs, so get you and your partner tested on a full STI panel before you make this decsion.</p>
<p>b) Swallowing does not make oral sex better or worse than letting them ejaculate elsewhere (chest, face, back, towel, shower, bed, themselves, etc). Do it if you like it, but know it doesn&#8217;t change the sensation.</p>
<p>c) Semen is not a good source of any vitamins, minerals, or nutrition. It will not make your hair shinier, whiten your teeth, make your skin smoother, etc. Those are all false statements, but ones that are bandied about quite often.</p>
<p>Hope this helps,</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I frequently speak on disability awareness, the intersection between disability and sexuality, and other such awesome topics. One big part of that when speaking to able bodied folks is talking about how to make their education and workshops that THEY provide more accessible overall.  Here are some quick tips to think about when writing/talking/presenting, whether around sexuality or anything else. Remember, it&#8217;s ok to mess up &#8212; I still do it sometimes. NO one is perfect, no one is an expert. This being said, take a moment to review the things you do and say, the language you use, and how you market your classes, and let&#8217;s work on recognizing able bodied privilege and working on reducing ableism in our communities.</p>
<p>Think about your language! Lots and lots of words and phrases in the English language come from an ableist perspective. Some are easy to call out; using retarded is not ok, period. Others have wormed their way in more sneakily &#8212; calling something lame is ableist, as is calling something (or someone) dumb. Idiot is also quite ableist, although not as obvious to most people. Another HUGE ableist word (and one I myself am still working on removing from my vocabulary, since it is so ingrained) is the use of the words crazy, insane, etc. Lots of people have issues that present mentally; who are we, lay people, to decide what sanity looks like? Saying someone is wearing a crazy outfit, or is insane because they are working to hard IS ableist, as prevalent as the language is in our culture.</p>
<p>Another way ableist language comes up as lot is in doing activities. Rather than say &#8220;everyone please stand&#8221; you can say things like &#8220;if everyone who can stand will please do so.&#8221; Instead of &#8220;please walk around the room&#8221; you can say &#8220;please move around the room.&#8221; Blanket statements like &#8220;everyone has two hands&#8221; might be less of an issue in small groups where you can see if people have two hands, but if you don&#8217;t know your audience, don&#8217;t make assumptions about what limbs people do or do not have.  Bethany Stevens, JD, is great at modeling access in her presentations introductions, and I&#8217;ve totally started doing it. Saying &#8220;can everyone who can see, see me ok?&#8221; and &#8220;can everyone who can hear, hear me ok?&#8221; is much more inclusive than &#8220;can everyone hear and see me ok?&#8221; I also make sure to let everyone know that I am open to requests for accommodations throughout the presentation and/or activities.</p>
<p>When you&#8217;re scheduling workshops, think about where they are at. If they are not physically accessible (either for wheelchair users, or anyone with a cane, crutches, or knee/hip/foot/ankle issues), you should probably put that on your flier/adverts. On that same note, if it IS accessible, put that on there &#8212; people love to know they are thought about and welcome. If it is somewhere in the middle, like there is a rear ramp somewhere, or you have burly folk willing to assist anyone who needs it, let people know that too. Even if you cannot find a perfectly accessible place (frequent in queer and kinky communities, or when working with non-profits who have to rely on donations of space), the fact that you are acknowledging accessibility is a huge step, and many PWD, myself included, can then make an informed decision about what attending will look like. Also, if you&#8217;re willing to provide an ASL interpreter, or describe the pictures/power point slides, make sure people know how to request those accommodations in advance, so that they don&#8217;t show up just crossing their fingers you have ASL savvy folks on staff.</p>
<p>People learn in different ways (Gardner&#8217;s Theory of Multiple Intelligences) and everyone processes at different speeds and in different ways. Regardless of who may or may not be in your audience, make sure to repeat your take home messages and important points more than once, and if possible, in more than one way. This will help EVERYONE &#8220;get&#8221; it better than if you just rattle off facts from your power point.</p>
<p>Know that some folks with disabilities comes with service dogs, or what I like to call service people. Sometimes, we need help getting in, getting settled, getting around, taking notes, making sure we understood what was said, having advocates, having people to carry our stuff, etc. Being respectful to us also means being respectful to our companions, whether of the furry or human variety. If someone mentions they&#8217;ll be attending with a service animal (or human), reserving a seat on the end of a row for the dog is generally appreciated. On the same note, if someone needs to see the ASL interpreter, or has vision issues and needs to be close to something to see it (and brings this up), making sure they get a spot close to the front shows consideration.</p>
<p>Having resources available in your area is awesome. Know who the sex positive doctors are; ones that aren&#8217;t going to flinch when someone says &#8220;how can I have sex safely, given that I have _____ or this condition?&#8221; Think about accessible spaces (accessible can mean lots of things; ADA, near public transit, affordable, etc) where people can get sex ed, and have their questions answered. Know who provides cognitive level appropriate sex education to folks with various developmental disabilities? Where can someone with disabilities (and/or their partner) find a local support group? Are their gynecologists near by who offer accessible exam tables to folks with mobility issues? This is just a start, but if you have answers to these questions, it&#8217;s a great place to get going.</p>
<p>These are just some very very very basic tips. I would love to hear other thoughts and suggestions on combating ableism in sex education (or education as a whole), as well as questions that other folks might have about providing inclusive settings. Let the discussion begin!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Question: We&#8217;re a college age lesbian couple. We don&#8217;t have a ton of cash, so we can only buy one or two toys right now. What is the best sex toy for lesbians?</em></p>
<p>Answer: That looks like a question with an easy answer, but unfortunately, it is not. There is no one perfect<a title="sex toys" href="http://www.sextoy.com/?a=essinem"> sex toy</a>&#8230;for anyone. That is regardless of gender, orientation, relationship status, etc. Here are some possible scenarios &#8212; maybe one will fit the two of you and you can find the perfect toy that way!</p>
<p>*Both of you really enjoy oral sex. Sounds like a great toy to invest in might be <a title="Tongue vibes" href="http://www.sextoy.com/prod_info.php?a=essinem&amp;pnum=EMP011">a tongue vibrator</a> (if you like vibration), a good bottle of glycerin-free <a title="Body safe flavored lube" href="http://store.babeland.com/safe-sex-lubes/sliquid-pink-lemonade?kbid=634">flavored lube</a> (if you like flavored cunnilingus), or maybe <a title="vibrating nipple clamps" href="http://www.sextoy.com/prod_info.php?a=essinem&amp;pnum=CNVELD-SE2589-14">nipple clamps</a> if you want nipple simulation while your partner&#8217;s hands and mouth are busy elsewhere!</p>
<p>*You two want to try out some penetration action. I&#8217;d suggest buying a harness compatible dildo (so if you like it, you can always add a harness when your budget allows). Now you need to decide if you like realistic dildos like <a title="great realistic dildo" href="http://store.babeland.com/dildos-silicone/goodfella?kbid=634">the Vixen Goodfella</a>, or something more whimsical like <a title="Beginner's dildo" href="http://www.sextoy.com/prod_info.php?a=essinem&amp;pnum=CNVELD-9952-01">the Tantus Echo</a>. Neither floats your boat? How about <a title="Bandito dildo" href="http://www.sextoy.com/prod_info.php?a=essinem&amp;pnum=FUN24308">the Bandito from Fun Factory</a>!</p>
<p>*Anal really gets your engines going! Start with anal beads like <a title="Great butt beads" href="http://www.sextoy.com/prod_info.php?a=essinem&amp;pnum=FUN38057">Flexi Felix</a>, or a beautiful glass butt plug from <a title="bling your butt!" href="http://www.sextoy.com/prod_info.php?a=essinem&amp;pnum=CNVVA-CD007BLS">Crystal Delights.</a> Just don&#8217;t forget to <a title="the best anal lube!" href="http://store.babeland.com/safe-sex-lubes/maximus?kbid=634">add lube</a>!</p>
<p>*Just getting started exploring each other? Sometimes just a simple vibrator like <a title="Lelo Mia vibrator" href="http://www.sextoy.com/prod_info.php?a=essinem&amp;pnum=CNVOUI-11121220">the USB rechargeable Mia</a> or <a title="Fun factory vibrator" href="http://store.babeland.com/vibrators-top-picks/laya-spot-assorted-colors?kbid=634">the Layaspot clitoral vibe</a> can be a great way to try to find each other&#8217;s erogenous zones and what turns you on.</p>
<p>*Nothing appealing? Maybe the best sex toy for you is an erotic books, like<a title="Best Lesbian Erotica 2011" href="http://store.babeland.com/books-queer/best-lesbian-erotica-2011?kbid=634"> Best Lesbian Erotica</a> &#8212; your brain will always be your best sex toy!</p>
<p>Hope this helps,</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of my favorite things to do is speak on college and university campus about sexuality. Whether it is a talk about safer sex, communication, anatomy, intersections of identities, inclusivity, kink 101, or a class on sexual activity, college students are some of my favorite learners to have in front of me.</p>
<p>However, sometimes it can be difficult for college students to figure out how to bring a sex educator to campus. Between working with various groups, communicating with the sex educator, and promotions/advertising, it can sometimes seem overwhelming for the one or two students, or even student groups looking to bring someone to speak.</p>
<p>Luckily, one of my awesome interns has put together an easy guide chock full of tips on how to bring a sex educator (such as myself) to your campus.  As always, <a href="http://shannakatz.com/contact/">you can contact me</a> if you&#8217;re interested in working together!</p>
<p><strong>-Shanna</strong></p>
<p><em>One of the things I get asked the most as a sex-educator-in-training and student organizer is,“how can we get someone like that to come to our school?” Luckily,I’ve done my share of organizing before (and have made enough mistakes!) and I can give you some general steps to getting that super awesome sex educator to your campus!</em></p>
<p><em><strong>Start early (and ensure you get good seating)</strong></em></p>
<p><em>When it comes to creating an event on campus,I’d say,the number one beginner’s mistake is not starting early enough. Unlike private events,or even organizational ones,university bureaucracy has a glacial pace – which will be worse if you are a state school,as you will have to jump through even more hoops in order to work with state regulations. Starting early ensures you will get the most help from your administration,and it also puts you in the best possible position for funding,which (at least at my school) is pretty freed up the first week of the semester and gobbled up not long after.</em></p>
<p><em>But we can’t limit this to just funding. You can be in an awesome position funding-wise,and it will not mean anything if you don’t have a good space to work with. The good meeting spaces tend to be reserved early,and you don’t want to get yourself stuck in that awkward classroom on the edge of campus just because that was the only place open. Having a central location will also help with passive advertising. What does that mean? An example:at my university,we had a couple of sex educators come to the student union,which gets tons of traffic that has nothing to do with specific events. People were able to see the posters about upcoming events,to be sure,but what captured a lot of attention was all the people lining up outside,and the groups tabling outside the event’s room. Because of this,we were able to attract a lot of people who were just wandering by.</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Everyone (or almost everyone) knows my vulva puppet Vivianne:</p>
<p><a href="http://shannakatz.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Shanna-and-Vivianne.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1417 aligncenter" title="Shanna and Vivianne" src="http://shannakatz.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Shanna-and-Vivianne-200x300.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>However, Vivianne (provided for me by Fascinations) has never been alone.  She has her little sis, Val (short for Valerie) purchased for me by a dedicate reader/fan of mine:</p>
<p><a href="http://shannakatz.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/marty-small-5.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1418 aligncenter" title="Shanna and Valerie" src="http://shannakatz.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/marty-small-5-200x300.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>And now, the two have been joined by a third, soon to be revealed purple and lavender vulva puppet. However, my new vulva puppet is sadly without a name! How horribly sad is that? So, I ask you, my fearless followers, to help me name my newest vulva puppet.  My favorite five names will make it into a run off contest (with links to your blog or twitter pages if you&#8217;d like), and the ultimate winner will get a little mini prize pack from me (I&#8217;m not telling what&#8217;s it in, but if you know me, you know it&#8217;ll be fun).</p>
<p>It&#8217;s easy to enter &#8211; just comment on this post with your suggestion (s) for the name for this new member of my vulva family by August 26th. Please make sure I have a way to contact you in case you make it into the final round. Please be creative, but not offensive (any vulva-negative suggestions will be deleted), as I love my vulva puppets and take them everywhere with me!</p>
<p>Alright; let the creative juices flow! (pun totally intended)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Surprisingly, sex education is a fairly thankless job. While there is often the bonus of fun work which I am passionate about, and the occasional free sex toys to test and review, overall, there is a lot of drama. You have to promote yourself constantly to get bookings, you usually have to work a full time just that is not connected to sexuality, or if it is, usually not the side that you&#8217;re passionate about. You have to deal with people (friends, family, co-workers and strangers) judging your choice of work, as well as treating you as a free sex therapist all the time. You have to have epic debates about whether to use your real name, give out your real phone number, etc, because of the fear of being unemployable in the future, or having stalkers&#8230;well, stalk you. It is not a job that makes much money (really), and it&#8217;s one that involves a constant fight for sex positivity in various environments, from the government funding Planned Parenthood to inclusion of gender in employment non-discrimination acts, to fighting for/with folks with disabilities to be allowed to embrace their own sexuality, to removing laws that make owning/buying sex toys illegal in certain states.</p>
<p>It is not easy, and there are days when I sometimes wish I had maybe chosen another route.</p>
<p>And then, you are reminded in a heart beat of why you do what you do.</p>
<p>Last week, I taught my final class (of pre-booked ones) at Fascinations. If they&#8217;d like to have me again, I&#8217;d be happy to do so, but this was my last planned one. The room was PACKED, standing room only (60+ people) for a class on cunnilingus, which is not frequently a sell-out subject. People were involved, asked questions, answered my questions, and were a truly wonderful group to teach to for 90 minutes. Afterwards, not one, not two, but over a dozen people came up to me, telling me how much I had positively affected my life. One woman was at a class for the first time, and cried, telling me she was so glad to have gotten to hear me speak at least once. Another women cried, telling me that over the last year or more, I had changed her life so incredibly, taking scary subjects of sexuality and helping her confront them, learn about them, and embrace them. Another group of 20 somethings (and a woman who had just turned 18, and was visiting a toy store for the first time) told me how much they&#8217;d learned from me, how comfortable they felt with their bodies and their sexualities, and how much they missed me. They all wanted to know when I&#8217;d be back, and they all hugged me.</p>
<p>THAT is why I do what I do. My goal in every class is for each person to learn 1 little thing that is new. One. This class, *I* learned how much my education has helped others truly embrace who they are, and have a more positive experience with sexuality. I could not ask for anything more than to have had such a positive effect in so many people&#8217;s lives, particularly in a state/area where sex is rarely discussed with a positive and pleasure centric bent.</p>
<p>It can often be a thankless job, but the occasionaly &#8220;Thank yous&#8221; that I get from people who have attended my classes, read my writing, watched my videos, or had counseling sessions with me? That is better than any easy 9-5 job, better than any big paycheck (though that would be nice too), and totally makes me reinvigorate my passion for this field. And to you all, I say thank you!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello!</p>
<p>As many of you may know, I am the newest addition to the Board of Directors for <a href="http://thecsph.org/">the Center for Sexual Pleasure and Health</a> in Pawtucket, RI. The Center is an incredibly important space, both physically and in a general sense &#8211; a place for people to come and learn about sex; reading books, watching movies, touching toys, petting vulva puppets, asking questions, exploring their identities and more.</p>
<p>One important thing about such an organization is of course, fundraising. Right now, Crystal Delights toys has partnered with the CSPH. Now through July 31st, if you donate ANY amount of money to the CSPH through this link: http://www.giveforward.com/helpcsph , you are entered to win an AWESOME prize basket, containing toys from Crystal Delights, Lelo, Papaya Toys, T.O.Y and many, many more. What a great way to donate to an incredibly important cause, and get yourself an entry to an amazing prize at the same time.</p>
<p>Whether you can afford $5 or $500 (or $5000???), please take a moment to donate to the Center for Sexual Pleasure and Health, and keep this sex positive, affirming space running for years to come.</p>
<p>Thanks,</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey Folks!</p>
<p>I’ll be in Philadelphia and New Jersey June 30th &#8211; July 5th, and have some open slots for one on one, two on one, three on one, etc <a title="Sex coach and relationship counselor" href="../sex-coaching/">sex coaching and counseling sessions</a>, as well as invididual or group classes and workshops. Go ahead and <a title="Contact Shanna!" href="../contact/">contact me</a> to let me know if you’d be interested in booking me while I’m on the East Coast, and we’ll get everything set up. Both counseling/coaching and workshops  are always on a sliding scale to be as accessible for everyone as humanly possible!</p>
