Scarleteen fundraiser

Hello AGA; I am back from an 8-day trip to Washington and finally have a moment to sit down, breathe, and collect myself. It was quite the whirlwind, but probably one of the best weeks of my life. Some highlights: staying at Heather’s for four days, taking a bath in an actual bathtub, meeting Dani Filth, seeing—no, experiencing Cradle of Filth live, hangin’ with AGA blogger Elizabeth, giving a bone-crushing hug to my brother Andrew again, seeing The VAGINA Monologues (“Hoohaa” my ass), and pretty much spending four days in the queerest college town I’ve ever set foot in. Seriously, I felt like I’d walked into some 1970’ies butch-n’-femme bar. I’ve never had so many crew-cut women open doors for me.

Anyways. With the exception of that little intro, this is going to be a cross-over blog to help with the Scarleteen Fundraising. So if you want to hear me talk about my sex-life, read on. : P

Like Em, I am going to participate in the Scarleteen fundraising drive a little by blogging about my experience with sex education. I am also a Volunteer at ST (all shiny and new) and I first came to the site about a year and a half ago, seeking advice. By now, I am there every day giving advice because I enjoy passing on the knowledge I have gained.

Growing up in Germany, I'd seen naked bodies on television before I was old enough to be able to name all the parts I was seeing. The first time we had sex education in school was in fourth grade. We were taught out of a book that told the story of a married couple who were expecting their second child and explaining to their daughter how the baby was conceived. The story was told with innocent but realistic drawings and followed the couple from conception to birth.
