You know that quote from Chasing Amy where Banky Edwards says that all lesbians are just straight women in need of some good "deep dicking?" Well, I don't know about the lesbian part, but as a straight chick, I know I concur with the latter part.

Months ago, I was in a relationship with a clinically depressed boyfriend with zero sex drive. He would keep falling asleep while going down on me (He claimed it was because he felt "so relaxed" doing it), it was really difficult to feel wanted or even the least bit satisfied. Frustration was the tip of the iceberg. I swear I developed cobwebs "up there" a la Drop Dead Fred.

Now, since meeting a new partner, I have a new outlook and a new set of adventures and somehow, stumbled from cobweb city to spicy sausage factory.

WheelchairTopLeft250pxW.jpgDisability advocates are raising money for T.O.'s first-ever accessible sex party tonight at the Buddies in Bad Times Theatre.

Filmmaker Loree Erickson, as mentioned in Japhet's previous post, is a York University PhD candidate and is not satisfied with the image of disability as asexual, and only worthy of charity. To counter that, she is bringing together a group of Canadian and U.S.artists with disabilities to challenge stereotypes and raise a few eyebrows for an evening of film and performance about sex and disability.

"By offering an intricate, sincere, and sexy image of disability, I hope to contribute to lessening the stigma, fear, lack of recognition and shame that contribute to the desexualization and devaluation of people with disabilities and bodily-based oppression in general," says Erickson.

Presented by Come As You Are, it should be a fun evening with performances by AJ Withers, Julie Devaney (My Leaky Body), and Peggy Munson (Origami Striptease) as well as two short films by Erickson.

Evil Dead: The Musical Draws Blood For Six More Weeks

062207_ash.jpgI'm definitely not a musicals person. But when you add in things like splattering fake blood, demons from hell and snappy one-liners, I'm sold.

Evil Dead: the Musical has just announced an extended run until Aug. 4 at the Diesel Playhouse (56 Blue Jays Way). Let the chainsaw-roaring begin.

Based on Sam Raimi's 80s cult-classic horror films, Evil Dead: the Musical, unearths the old familiar story: boy and friends take a weekend getaway at abandoned cabin, boy expects to get lucky, boy unleashes ancient evil spirit, friends turn into Candarian Demons, boy fights until dawn to survive.

Jack's previous post gives a lot of insight on the background of the play, but I wanted to talk about the anti-theatre theatregoer's perte de vue. I saw this play at the Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal a few years ago to a near-vacant bar in the city's east end. Juxtaposed with the crowd at last Friday's show in Toronto, we definitely have more fanatics here (I think I saw one guy with a cardboard chainsaw hand).

Slut vs. Prude -- Is There Any Middle Ground?

20070609_slut.jpgI haven't been a slut my entire life.

In fact, my high school years very pretty tame when I stuck with a specific set of "morals" (i.e. no sex unless we were in love and loved each other) - it's more recently that I've opened my mind a bit and, inherently, my legs.

Last summer, I took a stab at my first experience at casual sex. And it was incredibly hot. Since then, there have been a significant number of partners and it took a while, but eventually I was OK with racking up the numbers between the sheets.

But from time to time, I stop and look to see that stigma trailing me - Is this liberating, really? Or have I turned into someone that's easy? It makes me second-guess my actions.

I mean, I have never needed to have sex and I've certainly never done the deed to gain power or to get someone to like me - I just liked experimenting and trying new things and giving and receiving pleasure.

Bend Over Boyfriend

First thing I learned as a girl with a nine-inch silicone cock between her legs: Don't even bother trying to zip up your jeans; it just won't fit. Now I know how Dirk Diggler feels.

I was trying to get better acquainted with this new attachment to my body because I was going to have to pretend it was actually real and ready to penetrate at will.

I had agreed to peg - have anal sex with a bi guy friend of mine using a strap-on - as an experiment. It'd been a long time coming since a girl had offered to do that to him.

Toolbox Time in Toronto

120906_powertools-1-1.jpgToronto photographer Christine Ablett's uses her best tools for her latest erotic photographic series.

Toolbox debuted at Gallery X last month, but will come to Come as You Are begining Jan. 2 and runs until the end of the month.

It's taken Ablett over a year to finish the "titillating" 24-month calendar for 2007/2008 exposing the eroticism of tools and celebrating the people who use them. Think kinkier than Tim Allen when it comes to these images. Even licking a cordless Black and Decker can too be sexy...as long as the switch is turned to "off." And it's slightly more risque than me sitting on my dad's juicer.
