Exploring the pros & cons of anonymity
I am very proud of the panel I’ve put together for Aprils’ Momentum conference. Faced with the challenge of running a very personal blog that features both helpful pieces and my own dating stories, anonymity is something that I deal with on a regular basis.

A few years ago I had a LiveJournal account and would use it to blog about my dates in (very) graphic detail. I was beginning to learn that the keyboard craved my touch more than the paper and loved being able to share sexy details with my audience. But what I was lacking was connection.

Recently I had the pleasure of attending Porn Reborn – New Movements and Markets in Pornography with my dear friend Tara McKee, sex educator and workshop facilitator for Good For Her, put on by SDSSU. The SDSSU is the undergraduate course union for everyone who has ever taken a Sexual Diversity Studies course at the University of Toronto.
Porn is absolutely not something I’m an expert on. Sure, I have a website link bookmarked on my iPhone, but I actually only own 1 movie and I got that for free at the Everything To Do With Sex Show a few years ago. (And ick, it’s so terrible!)
