 | Against all our efforts to make it so, time is not linear. It's important to mark time with rituals like New Years, but it's a mistake to confuse our need to make sense of something with the thing itself. Which is one reason why the job of a sex educator can often feel absurd and Sisyphean. Sexuality is not a thing easily understood or described, and one could make a reasonable argument that it is simply impossible to control. All of this makes the act of looking back on a year that was feel disorienting to me. I"m looking back, but what's behind me is also in front of me. The past isn't really past at all. So this year, a year that feels like it isn't even close to being over, I'm taking a more random approach, considering some of the things that happened in 2012 that won't happen again, and thinking about what's happening now that will be happening just the same five days from now, when we start writing 2013 instead of 2012. However you're thinking of time, wherever you are, I hope that you are as safe as you can be and as near to love as possible. ~ Cory | |

| Writing Your Sexual Story
When poet and philosopher George Santayana wrote that "those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it" he probably wasn't thinking about sex. But I'd argue that it applies to our sex lives as much as anything, and while it might be uncomfortable or painful to look back, it's hard to know how much past events are controlling you without thinking about them at least a little.
