Besides sex, other interests include gaming, science fiction and fantasy, and housing cooperatives.
I’ve read some posts here that I thought had really awful attitudes about sexuality and BDSM in particular, so I’m sure I’ll be posting about those. I would like it if people were more rational about sex, inasmuch as we can be.

?? Not any of mine, I hope.
EDIT: I see, Phil Goetz on masochism. Well, I downvoted it. Not much else to say, aside from noting that it had net 4 points and that karma rules do make it easier to upvote than downvote.
This is a community blog and I think it’s pretty fair to say that what has not been voted high or promoted ought not to be blamed on “Less Wrong”.
That’s fair. And I’ll add that for a site populated mainly by entitled white guys (I kid, I kid), this site does much better at being generally feminist than most within that demographic.
PS It’s kind of exciting to be talking to you, EY. Your article on heuristics and biases in the context of extinction events is one of my favorites ever. I probably think about it once a week.
I go by Clarisse and I’m a feminist, sex-positive educator who has delivered workshops on both sexual communication and BDSM to a variety of audiences, including New York’s Museum of Sex, San Francisco’s Center for Sex and Culture, and several Chicago universities. I created and curated the original Sex+++ sex-positive documentary film series at Chicago’s Jane Addams Hull-House Museum; I have also volunteered as an archivist, curator and fundraiser for that venerable BDSM institution, the Leather Archives & Museum. Currently, I’m working on HIV mitigation in southern Africa. I blog at clarissethorn.wordpress.com and Twitter at @clarissethorn.
