In less than a month I’ll be packing my bags and heading clear across the country to Woodhull’s Sexual Freedom Summit. If you don’t know what that is, go check it out. The schedule is kind of blowing my mind and I’m honored to be a part of it. Along with Stephen Biggs and Crista Anne, I’ll be speaking on a panel called The Monster Under The Bed: Starting the Conversation About Sex and Depression. I’m so excited to be going to the Summit – the workshops, academies, roundtables and institutes… I’m not really sure where to start- and I’m beyond thrilled to be speaking, especially about a topic so close to my heart, alongside two of my favorite colleagues.
I’m also looking forward to spending a couple of days surrounded by people who passionately think, care, talk and do. I’m looking forward to actually seeing the faces behind the avatars I see online and give real hugs to the folks I “see” through my computer daily but in the flesh rarely. However, to echo a sentiment voiced by my friend Dangerous Lilly, my introverted nature and deeply ingrained “don’t bother anyone” instincts sometimes keep me from approaching new folks but if you spot me (it’s easy, look for the hair) I promise I’d love to chat.
This trip wouldn’t be possible for me without the help of another set of colleagues I adore- the good folks at Doxy! I have made no secret of my love of their product (sometimes I get excited about things and talk about them… a lot) so I was elated when they agreed to be my travel sponsor for the Summit. If you are not familiar with Doxy, go check them out. Last year they made one of my favorite toys of the year – the original Doxy massager and this year they are gearing up to release two new products that I got to see at ANME: a badass new die-cast Doxy and an adorable little insertable toy called Skittle*. Doxy’s products are cool, they are wonderful people and I really appreciate their support. Thank you so much to Doxy for making this trip possible for me!
*So, the folks at Doxy are British and in England Skittle means something different. The toy is named for its shape.
