Feminist Carnival of Sexual Freedom and Autonomy

Below is a cross-post written by Caroline.

I think it's about time to bring back the Feminist Carnival of Sexual Freedom and Autonomy. As is so often the way, it started very well and dwindled, so I'm gonna try and inject a bit of life into it and bring it back. I'll host the next edition, which is #20, right here at Loserdust on 13th July. Right now, I'm interested in what constitutes as 'sex negative'. But, as always, I won't confine the carnival to a particular theme.

So if you have posts you've done which you want to include, posts you'd like to nominate, or if you would like to host the next one email me at
uncool[dot]blog[at]gmail[dot]com. If you want more information,click here. If you could get your submissions in for Monday 12pm GMT that would be grand.

Hope to hear from you...

I remember the first time I came across the Feminist Carnival of Sexual Freedom and Autonomy online. I was totally intimidated by it and the writers who were included in it because I never thought that myself or my writing would be worthy of being included in something like that. But of course over time I have come to understand that this is not the case. (Having self esteem is a wonderful thing)

This is a monthly posting done by bloggers who volunteer to host it on their site and it is open to anyone who has something to say. Today I not only submitted a recent post of mine but I also volunteered to host one of the upcoming months. Look for my blog to host the Carnival in November and the theme I have chosen for it will be "What does Sexual Freedom mean to you?"

I encourage anyone who has ever considered submitting something they have written or wanted to host a month to email Caroline and do it. If you asked me a year ago if I would be writing this post, submitting to the carnival or actually hosting one I would have thought you were crazy. But here I am.

Go ahead and submit. It doesn't hurt. Honest.
