NSRC Newsletter April 28 2009 

Swine flu, be damned. Though isolation might be tempting, the National Sexuality Resource Center wants to keep you connected—at least when it comes to sexuality.

Here are some ideas you just might want to spread around…

Summer of Love
Make plans to spend the summer in San Francisco—at NSRC’s Summer Institute 2009: Race, Gender and Sexuality. The deadline has been moved to May 1st, so sign up now.

Thanks, Facebook fans!
Was it the lure of instant sex updates or the free gift bag from The Body Shop that converted 400 of you to NSRC Facebook fans last week? Either way, we’re grateful that so many of you are amplifying our work to your communities—and we love reading your comments, links and conversations. Congratulations to gift bag winner Meg of PA, who does safer-sex outreach with sex workers!

This week in American Sexuality

• Picturing Disability: a Massachusetts bill would criminalize the production of sexual images of 'legally incompetent' people with disabilities. Does it go too far?
• The new Joy of Sex: Kat Forsythe looks at the revised edition of the classic primer and longs for freer, hairier days.
• From Sexsmart.films, Talking About Sex: A Guide for Families. Watch Planned Parenthood’s anxiety-reducing video aimed at kids aged 10-14.

Get Busy
VP of Communications at The Woman’s Funding Network, writer for Gender Across Borders, sexual orientation fellowships at UCLA… possibilities abound on our Events and Opportunities page. Find your calling, or post your own opportunity today.

Your Ideas Matter
What do you think about sexuality? We want your voice. Join our Dialogues Network and start blogging—tell us what your organization is doing, comment on current events and get your message out to thousands of users every week. We’re talking about Sex on Craigslist and SEICUS’ sexual education report.

Regards,

NSRC
