Our Bodies Ourselves is seeking up to two dozen women to participate in an online discussion on sexual relationships.

Stories and comments may be used anonymously in the next edition of "Our Bodies, Ourselves," which will be published in 2011 by Simon & Schuster.

We are seeking the experience and wisdom of heterosexual, lesbian, bisexual and queer women. Perspectives from single women are encouraged, and you may define relationship as it applies to you, from monogamy to multiple partners. We are committed to including women of color, women with disabilities, trans women and women of many ages and backgrounds.

Assorted interesting (to me, at least) things I figure might interest others:

( Sex Workers' Art Show )

From a mailing list:
The Style section of yesterday's Washington Post features an article on
polyamory.

the documentary Bi the Way is finally complete and going to be shown (see also their blog)

BECAUSE 2008 is coming -- time to register! (this is the Midwest's Bi conference, and I'm thrilled to see if back after a several year hiatus. Anyone else reading this planning on going?)

Tilda Swinton's poly, and dealing with it with exquisite class, as always (like I didn't already have a huge enough crush on her)

( Sex Work Conference coming up in Chicago )

( Bi Request short film program at San Francisco Int'l LGBT Film Festival )

(which, incidentally, reminds me that The Cleveland International Film Festival is coming up soon!)

And I think that's it for the moment. That turned out to be a lot more than I expected.

I'm really interested to read this when it comes out; it's a fascinating topic, and one that isn't addressed often enough, imo.

Call For Submissions: Beyond Masculinity.

BEYOND MASCULINITY:
Essays by Queer Men on Gender and Politics
http://www.beyondmasculinity.com

Gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer men's gender identities often exist somewhere outside the traditional categories of "masculine" and "feminine." Sissies, drag queens, and leather daddies alike play with gender in a way that cannot be accounted for in traditional understandings of maleness. This collection -- part blog, part anthology, part audiobook -- aims to shatter traditional understandings of maleness and point towards a new understanding of how queerness and gender intersect.
