Sex toys as a tool for peace?

A short piece written by yours truly appears in this quarter's Lilith Magazine. It is a profile of a Tel Aviv woman and sex educator, Beverley Damelin, who uses toy parties (think Tupperware soirees with dildos) as a means of discussing female sexual pleasure. The profile also briefly discusses her experience of teaching a mixed audience- Israeli and Palestinian women- and her thoughts of n work.

Unfortunately, the article and text are available online. I guess that means you guys will have to subscribe!

I'm with you. Make love not war, baby.

Hopefully, having the 'parties' in a comfortable, private setting like home allows those women to feel more open to sharing and discussing difficult topics.
