What is FemSex? The Female Sexuality Workshop of Brown University aims to create a mindful, respectful, and open environment for participants to engage in honest dialogue validating their own experiences and building solidarity within a community. Through group discussion and independent activities participants explore and take ownership of their own bodies, pleasure and education, and in doing so, learn to support a diversity of people. FemSex is a refreshingly unique space designed to facilitate the exploration of boundaries, identities, and experience within a community founded upon respect, honesty, participation, and commitment to reciprocal support. Peer facilitators encourage and challenge participants to continue to develop empowered and informed relationships with themselves to bring out into the world and transcending the workshop.

Providence Womyn’s Health Collective

After our experiences organizing with both male and female socialized people in ways that neglected what interested us and ourselves as whole people, we have been inspired to help build a womyn-centered space in Providence as a possible alternative to what we’ve been doing. We are interested in supporting the creation of an accessible, radical feminist community focused on organizing and acting around the experiences of female-bodied and female-identified people, particularly in the context of health, the medical system, and normative ways of looking at female bodies. This space would do several different things, challenging what accessible health care means and providing a more radical take on  current health care debates. We could learn collectively about ourselves as whole people and ourselves as a community of people.

We see this taking shape in several different ways, giving people an opportunity to plug in whatever capacity feels right for them. Preliminary ideas include discussion sessions, peer support circles, workshops, and more formal meetings devoted to organizing workshops and other events.

Please email femsex@gmail.com for more information and meeting times.

About SHEEC

SHEEC is an umbrella organization at Brown that brings together leaders of different student groups related with interests in or related to sexuality, sexual health, gender and sex. We are currently working to develop a peer sex education program to be launched in the coming semester. We can be reached at brownSHEEC@gmail.com As a student council we aim to (1) advocate for students’ needs with regards to issues of sexual health and wellness, (2) establish new resources on campus with regard to these same issues, (3) establish a network of communication among campus groups and organizations of similar focus, (4) organize and promote a series of on-campus lectures, screenings, discussions, events and workshops, (5) act as a liaison between the student body and administration concerning SHEEC events, (6) promote cross disciplinary event planning, (7) reduce or eliminate a lack of communication among student groups on campus as pertaining to issues of sexuality, sexual health and education, (8) increase awareness of student group activities pertaining to issues of sexuality, gender, sexual health and wellness, (9) reach a wider and more diverse array of students within the Brown community, and (10) draw on the talents of a variety of individuals representative of various student groups and organizations to increase cooperation, collaboration, and innovation between and heighten overall productivity of preexisting student groups. We are always looking for new ideas to reach our goals.

Meetings are 6:00pm Mondays in room 201 at Sarah Doyle’s Women Center. Everyone is welcome!

50Cent Condoms….$5/3-pack

50 cent introduces his Magic Stick condom from LifeStyles.  I haven’t seen this product on the market yet, although there is a website up here.  Apparently a real G needs a little assistance in the below the belt region, as the condom is made with a “special formula” that extends the length of an erection.

Below is a candid reveal of the product.

Where do condoms come from? From the condom tree!
