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? Just one…
We’re All in the Soup…Together
February 12, 2012Certainly there are exceptions but generally, when it comes to sex, conservatives are quite certain that liberals are destroying the very fabric of civilization while liberals cannot believe how long it is taking to get the conservative bootjack off the necks of humanity. Straights talk as if the very sanctity of marriage and the innocence…
The Compass of Pleasure
January 29, 2012For most of us it is conceptually impossible to decouple addiction from pleasure. After all, who would get addicted to something they didn’t really like? So, the reasoning goes, we need to prevent people from experiencing the pleasure in the first place to prevent the addiction from forming. Applying this way of thinking to human…
No Crazy Like Utah Crazy
January 21, 2012No matter what we do, we are always teaching the young people around us. When we pander to fear, when we sexualize the most nonsexual subject matter we risk raising a generation of sexually obsessed pansies. The student-chosen mascot for a new Utah high school was rejected for one of the strangest reasons possible: Board…
Not That Kind of Futurist!
January 13, 2012Control freaks often fear human sexuality for a very good reason: no one can control the sexuality of another. But our sexuality is the oldest, wisest and best part of ourselves and although it will not be controlled by anyone, it can be intelligently managed by everyone. The sexual futurist community is not about predicting…
Methodists & Other Sexual Terrorists
January 7, 2012It’s hard to believe that the thousands of years the human race has spent developing our understanding of religion has been entirely in vain. But, when we fail to integrate human sexuality and our notions of spirituality the results can certainly seem that way. Yet we have reason to hope. Alfred Kinsey (1894-1956) was the…
Talking to Kids about Sexuality
January 6, 2012We all want our children to be informed and responsible when it comes to managing their sexuality. The problem is that most of us don’t know where to begin. We could do worse than teaching our children language that doesn’t trivialize their sexuality. Everything at Sexual Futurist (this site, our YouTube channel, our comments on…
A Sexual Futurist New Year
January 1, 2012People routinely set up New Year’s resolutions to better themselves. Many of these are forgotten as the calendar goes by but our sexuality is something we forget at our peril. Becoming intentional and proactive about a better sexual future is a new practice for our community and the world. We can do this. Due to…
Of Course She’s a Sexual Threat, Just Look at Her!
December 31, 2011Every religion on earth has legalistic people who often miss the point. Unsurprisingly to sexual futurists, so much of the legalism is aimed squarely at human sexuality and sexual rights. Lately, even the so-called Holy Land is in the news. For crying out loud, she was only an eight-year-old little girl. But for some ultra-Orthodox…
A Great Sexual Futurist Year!
December 23, 2011Helping the world to have an adult conversation is why Sexual Futurist exists. Young and old, gay and straight and all the rest of us are part of the solution to finding peace within ourselves and with the world around us. As our community grows, we have so much for which to be thankful. Two…
