the ethical slut

Saturday 27 March 2004 | I like a cookie

Dossie Easton, a San Francisco therapist, has been an active sex radical since 1961. While she is a well-known bottom, Dossie also tops, and has taught dozens of classes on S/M techniques, skills and philosophy. She was one of the first members of the Society of Janus in San Francisco, and has been a leader in the emerging area of S/M practice that links S/M and spirituality. Under the name of Scarlet Woman, she also writes spectacularly filthy erotic poetry. But, she says, “My main contribution to both the S/M and lesbian communities is my unstinting effort to reclaim the word “slut.”

We must have, immediately, this book, which she co-wrote with Catherine Lizst/Janet Hardy.

NB by the way that if you do not select an avatar one will be dictatorially assigned to you. And it may not be all that pretty. I'm just saying.
