Recommended Reading #188: Shifting Perspectives, Pt. III

      “Why I Post Nude Photos (and why I blog about sex)” by Penny (Self-Awareness, Sex and Culture, Memoir) 1/29/14

I simply adore this. I relate to it as well, but even if I didn’t, I feel the message(s) in it are of profound beauty, relevance, and importance.

      “This little thing called rights ” by Karen R. (Youth, Sexuality Education, Sociology) 2/1/14

I so wholeheartedly agree with the author’s assessment of youth rights (or the lack thereof) and similarly noted and felt enraged by it myself when I was a teenager. I also support shift in cultural perceptions and strictures in this area, and as such I was deeply delighted to see this piece.

      “Beyond Your Control” at The Sensual Life (Self-Awareness, Philosophy, Consciousness) 2/12/14

This gorgeously crafted piece simply pierced right into me, conveying its content not with the actual words but with the awareness, the consciousness, with which it was written. I recommend reading it simply for the experience of that energy (in addition, of course, to the manifestation of the words that emerged from it).
