Sexuality and Our Leaky Bodies

In 1991 writer and performance artist Cheryl Marie Wade wrote an article called "It Ain't Exactly Sexy" that was published in a popular disability rights magazine called The Ragged Edge. It's a loud, blunt, and incisive critique of how we talk about private things, and it's the first thing I think about when I get a question about having an "accident" during sex.  Wade believes we need to get rid of euphemistic language that keeps us both ashamed and ignorant.  She was writing for a specific audience, but her words and perspective is of value to everyone.  As she says, this may not be a sexy topic, but the only way we can redefine sexy is to start packing more into it.  ~  Cory

Talking Sh*t About Sex

Where do you start a conversation about losing control of your bowel or bladder during sex? Those who think that urine and feces are sexy probably already have some ideas on this, but for most people, taboos about bodily fluids - combined with restrictive ideas about what is sex and what is sexy - can make a conversation about bowel and bladder control during sex seem painful to the point of impossible.
