CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS : FAT-POSITIVE ANTHOLOGY
1500-3000 words
Editor: Virgie Tovar – author, fat activist/lifetime fat girl, and MA, Human Sexuality
Deadline: November 15, 2011
I’m seeking personal essays for a fat positive anthology to be released in 2012. I’m seeking essays that either (1) focus on a specific event/experience that was truly flabulous or (2) tell the story of how you became a fierce fatty. I encourage contributors to hone in on a particular theme—like romance, parenting, family, fatshion, dating, performance—to use as a lens through which to tell your story. Fierce, sassy, thoughtful, authentic, non-fiction, previously unpublished, autobiographical stories from fatties who identify as women are welcome. The vision for this anthology …

Joan Price is seeking erotic stories and memoir essays of high literary quality from writers over age 50, featuring steamy characters also over age 50, for a senior erotica anthology to be published Spring 2013 by Seal Press.
Will this be your typical erotica anthology with a few wrinkles?
No, the truth is that we seniors don’t respond to the sopping-wet panties and rock-hard erections that are the hallmark of traditional, youth-oriented erotica. Instead, we want erotica that we can relate to, that encompasses the changes and adaptations of age, that acknowledges how we like to be stimulated. Age is accepted, celebrated, and sensually …

I found this online today and thought I’d pass it on.
The philosophy behind Cock Tales is simple. The artistic world is filled to the brim with examinations of female sexuality, female persecution, and criticisms and analysis of what it means to be female. Yet when I search for the same kind of expressions of maleness, I inevitably walk away empty-handed.
As a feminist, I find this rather unsettling. Have we spent years fighting for equality only to deny our brothers the very forms of expression we so emphatically demand? There is not an equal representation of the introspective, self-examining male in theatrical work. Or an equal representation of examinations of male sexuality, male persecution, or criticisms and analysis of what it means, socially and …

Yes, the title is a mouthful, but the First Annual Conference on Earth-Based, Nature-Centered, Polytheistic and Indigenous Faiths: Gender & Earth-Based Faiths is going to be full of interesting presentations. If you’re pagan, witchy, wiccan, or any other flavor of earth-based faith, this one day con in San Francisco on September 24 is definitely worth going to. I’ll be presenting a workshop on masculinity and spirituality, btw.
They’re still looking for presenters, especially people who can discuss transgender, androgyne and genderqueer spiritual issues and practices. Check out the info below and pass it on!

Feminist Porn Studies: Writing by Academics and Sex Industry Workers
http://feministpornstudies.wordpress.com/
A new generation of women in the porn industry openly identify as feminist and own their own companies, direct and produce their own material, and/or take on politicized identities as sex worker performers. In addition to “porn for women,” a new wave of porn genres emerges today including alt porn, feminist porn, queer porn, amateur porn, and genderqueer and transgender porn.
Given the transformations of feminism, sexual politics, pornography and popular culture over the last decade or more, our book, Feminist Porn Studies, moves past the pro/anti porn …
