The Culture of Men
February 18, 2012Although we can all think of exceptions, most of the world’s horrific and senseless violence is perpetrated by men, not women. For the Sexual Futurist Community, this phenomena poses a question related to human sexuality and especially gender culture: how can we structure their upbringing so that boys become heroes rather than villains?

Come Watson, The Game’s Afoot!
February 13, 2012Sherlock Holmes’ daddy was a sexual futurist. Set in a London that is forever 1895, the author Arthur Conan Doyle lived smack dab in the Victorian Era–hardly a time known for sexual equality and forthright, intelligent management of human sexuality.

Geezers Gettin’ Down
February 11, 2012Often enough parents feel a compelling need to talk to their children about sex and yet we’re often stuck, wondering how to begin.

Paying For It
February 6, 2012Libertarians like Ron Paul often are open to the decriminalization of recreational drug use.

In Paying For It, one of his more recent works, subsidized by…
Maurice Sendak, Kids & Sex
February 4, 2012Most parents have some issues with how to talk to their children about sex.

The Descendants: 2012 Best American Movie
February 2, 2012We’re so used to not hearing from men that sometimes, even when they’re telling us their stories, we cannot intuit their invisible suffering much less help them on their journey.

2011 Sexual Futurist of the Year!
January 25, 2012Our sexual diversity has long been an overlooked strength as those looking for a better world have often allowed themselves to be splintered apart from the whole.

Judging the Sinners
January 14, 2012People can be judgmental about most everything but judgmental people reserve a special place in Hell for those who sin sexually. If you’re needing a hall pass outa hell, here’s how you can get one. Oddly to Sexual Futurist, the Hindustan Times reported that porn actress Sunny Leone shouldn’t be judged.
