Sexuality Sexuality Sex Tips Sex Talk Sex Toys From Cory Silverberg, your Guide to Sexuality This week's newsletter is about language. Well actually it's about fetish sex, fertility, technology, and penis rings. But it's also about language. One of the cons of having so many more platforms for public discussion is that it's become even easier for us to forget how the language we use, the way we talk about things, matter. When everything online is just considered "content" it's easy to ignore that what you talk about is inextricable from how you talk about it. When it comes to sex most people are so relieved to finally get to talk about it at all, that the nuances of language can feel less important. Fair enough. But it comes at a cost, and while we all pay it, some of us are more impoverished by it than others. ~ Cory What Is Fetish Sex? When you think of the word "fetish" you probably think of sex. But there's an important difference between fetish and sex, and between having a fetish, and engaging in what might be called fetish sex. It may not be front page news important, but ask yourself, who decides what goes on the front page? See More About:  fetishes  sex definitions  Can I Get Rid of My Fetish? An About.com reader writes about their particular fetish, which they feel is getting in the way of them finding the partner they want, and having the sex life they imagine for themselves. After a lot of hand wringing (not their fetish) they just want to know if there's a way to get rid of it.
