The Center for Sex and Culture is proud to announce the first annual Library Spring Smut Sale— Saturday April 28th 10 am - 5 pm. !
Over the last year the CSC Library has grown and developed — books have busted out of the boxes that had, for too long, been holding them captive, filling our beautiful new shelving— more books and rare materials than we could ever have space for— we must sell!
What better way to spend your tax refund than on some deliciously erotic printed materials? We will be selling, rare and not so rare erotic fiction, non-fiction, poetry, magazines and periodicals. We also have much non-erotic, but still obscure items that must go. All proceeds will directly benefit the Center for Sex and Culture and the continued growth of our community library.

As a sex worker activist and active sex worker, what I want to say the most is *please listen to our voices.* We want rights, not rescue. Those speaking for us have trampled our voices for far too long.
In the United States and around the globe, sex workers are forming collectives and unions to fight for our rights. Mainstream feminism and patronizing anti-trafficking orgs have continually propagated lies about sex work statistics and have actively shut down our organizing efforts. The sex worker led efforts to decriminalize prostitution in San Francisco, CA were largely opposed by feminist organization and one of the biggest anti-decriminalization donations came from Gloria Steinhem herself.
Please listen to us. We don’t need to be saved, we need to be supported.

House slaves did not want the abolition of slavery because they were treated considerably better than field slaves. Would you say slavery should not have been abolished only because some privileged slaves wanted to remain as slaves?

Shame: woman on woman violence -
Charlie Glickman’s blog article about women’s use of shame against other women.
contrary to modern confusion on the topic, people in ancient times and medieval times and people outside of Europe knew/know about female orgasm and thought/think it’s crucial for a woman to get pregnant.
