RSVP for #StopSexism Weekly Calls Monday Nights at 7:30 PM EST
What’s really going on in men’s heads in regards to sex and porn?
Or women’s?
How about sexism?
Is the field “level,” or are our current social mores and cues so “Puritan” and full of shame and guilt that we have marketed and supplied ourselves into a dystopia of airbrushed body parts and videos, hyper-sexualization, and hidden accounts?
Why so much shame for the need for stimulation, healthy or otherwise?
And why is stimulation so bad, especially if so many people are safely doing it without hurting anyone?
Or is the hurt on its way—the hurt that can destroy relationships, families, marriages, and identities, and become an addiction much greater than a simple turn-on?
How much shame and guilt should we still be feeling because of our incessant need for the visualization and feeling of real or fake body parts and real or simulated sex (or because we like to watch humans be intimate)?
And are all those connections real or have we felt our way into a lonely culture of dark identities?
For every seeking john there’s a prostitute, for every sexual craving there is a magazine or website, and for every fetish there’s a media company helping satisfy a paying customer—for good or ill or status quo—but where do we draw the lines financially, socially, personally, and ethically, and do we need to draw lines?
What lines have you drawn?
And at what point is stimulation a shameful, sexist thing, and sex workers the victims of an industry that doesn’t really value them but the parts of their parts?
Or do we have it all wrong?
LET’S TALK.
We want to talk about it—and we want you to write about it.
Every Monday night we talk about sexism and how it affects all of us—and how we think about all the things that make us stimulated, sexually active (or passive), and what lines we need to draw.
Tell us your story or opinion.

The Good Men Project is different from most media companies. We are a “participatory media company”—which means we don’t just have content you read and share and comment on but it means we have multiple ways you can actively be a part of the conversation. As you become a deeper part of the conversation—The Conversation No One Else is Having—you will learn all of the ways we support our Writers’ Community—community FB groups, weekly conference calls, classes in writing, editing platform building and How to Create Social Change.
