Although I'll be getting paid for copy-editing, it looks like I'm also going to be co-writing a weekly column about Sex & Relationships for UMass Boston's student-run newspaper, The Mass Media.
As for content, my friend Desi and I will solicit emailed questions about sex & relationships and answer them. We'll also include an article each week about various topics like "Abstinence, safer sex, & birth control," "Abortion on Campus", "Aphrodisiacal Cooking Favorites", "Dating Questions", "Developing a Code of Sexual Ethics", "When is it abuse? Uncovering Sexual Violence," "Orgasms for All," Sex and Spirituality", "Sober Sex Or F--ed up F--ing?", "Being a Parent and Going Back to School", "Dealing with Your Parents' Sex Life", etc.
We'll also explore alternative experiences of students on the UMass Boston campus, for example interviewing my friend who used to be a dominatrix for pay in the Boston area, going to "Queer-a-oke" in Jamaica Plain, and "Celebrating the Body Electric."
First Issue is due on shelves September 5. Anyone got a burning question? (Not literarlly, I hope. ;) Email: silmarile [ AT ] hotmail . com. Go for it already. Answers are anonymously addressed, of course.

Is that an ironic question, Robbie? Have you been doing your mirror work? :)

You should've specific "regular mirror" rather than they curiously formed reflective piece I bought at the liquidation sale of a local carnival.
The shriek after a first glance was enough to summon the police and most neighborhood dogs.
But yes, your lessons are going quite well =)
