"In America today, sex is ubiquitously visible in the media and highly valued as an essential part of adult sanity. At the same time, it is under harsh attack in the schools, the courts and legislatures, and large parts of the psychological establishment, especially when it involves either youth or sexual minorities. To bring both reason and celebration back to sex, we need smart, creative, courageous public advocates -- and they need to be organized to act together. Sex in the Public Square promises to do just that. In the name of sexual knowledge, tolerance, and pleasure, I applaud SIPS and can't wait to start working with them."

SexInThePublicSquare.org is just what the name says it is. No polite sex talk here. Just frank, democratic discussions of sexual health and literacy in relation to legislature, politics and human rights issues. This is a great pit stop to keep you current on sexuality legislation and politics (ever wonder what happened to the Matthew Sheppard Act?), different fields of activism (yay Fresh Focus Contest) and how those topics appear in pop culture. Bookmark it or you’ll be sorry.
Active on current sex topics, big on building community, eroticism and occasional snarkiness, this is one of my new favorite regular haunts.
