call to action

Hello,

A few months ago, NOW magazine published an essay about a relatively violent lesbian encounter (by Belinda Fox) in their Love & Sex column. Red-faced letters to the editor ensued. Shame on you, NOW magazine for printing porn! One letter read: "My 13-year-old niece just started taking the subway to school on her own this year and reads your paper on the way. Way to go, NOW."

Due to that scandal or something else entirely, NOW magazine has ceased their Love & Sex column. Too bad -- I thought it was quite refreshing, but then again, I don't have a 13-year-old-niece who rides the subway.

As of right now, there are really no public forums where a nice (no, not niece) reader with a healthy sex drive and need for a real-life story could read about nice (and not so nice) women's encounters in this big, bad city. Okay, there's XX in xyyz, which is a great start, but I have a feeling there is room for more. There must be other women who like to have fun, no?

So. If you're a woman in this city (Toronto) who dates, is in a relationship, has sex, falls in love, doesn't have sex but likes to write about sex she used to have... and who would like to share her eal-life story, get in touch with me and we'll get this party started. I want to publish your stories on-line and hopefully make this city a little more interesting (hotter?) than it is.
