Welcome to the year 1950

[CJBurgandy]

I'm thinking we should set up something for people who want to help with research and writting so we can keep everything orgainzed. Like a yahoo group or something. (I haven't used a yahoo group in years though)

Seatbelts...

My greatgrand mother died because of one, I don't rember all of the grusome details but in the end it was because of the preassure from a lap belt on her abdomin that killed her.

Lap belts in accidents can also render women infertle. I hate lapbelts. Shoulder straps I can live with, but lapbelts just scare me.

semi-random thoughts on the SEComics... Please pardon the presumptious tone and the use of the word "we" here, CJ... I'm just spitballing. I'm good at being a Take-Charge & Get Things Done Bossy Bitch.

What we need:
- Artist - I think we prolly got that one covered, huh? Guests or extras if CJ gets tired or busy.
- Writer(s) - In case CJ doesn't wanna do it all.
- Researcher(s) - To... Research... And stuff. To really do it right, this step (2) & step 8 below should include volunteer or compensated MD and PhD review &/or endorsement.
- Production Staff - If we decide to print / produce (print, trim, coalate, bind, etc.) the product entirely in-house... Might be just a production manager, if it's outsourced.
- Public Relations / Distribution - Initially manages press releases & publicity, later manages distribution schemes. If this person is not web-design capable, we'll need:
- Internet Staff (or person) - We should have a professional, comprehensive website. This position includes design and maintainance.
- Finance Manager / Department - This person should be prepared to take our prototype(s) to funding sources for grants, look for ad revenue (condom companies? other businesses?), and manage disbursements.
- Project Manager(s) - Coordinates all of the above, either overall, or per project.
- Executive Director - The project "owner". I think we got that one covered, too.

which brings us to a proposed format for....

Project Guidelines:

[Honor]

...we also need an ass-kickingly cool series / project name & domain name.

[CJBurgandy]

The only main input I have is that I don't want it under the Burgundy Comics Logo. That might sound weird but it's with good reason. Burgundy Comics might one day (actually what it strives to be) be associated with Lesbian Erotic and porn. If I want people to take it seriously as something that is not porn, I can have it attached to the Stigma. Sounds wierd, but I think it's a valid concern.

Hmmm as far as names go, I'll have to think about it.

[Honor]

Not wierd at all... I agree completely. The two products / projects are very different in scope and ambition... Having the two associated by a common business name would only weaken both.

*hehehe*

MacDonalds Safe Sex Guide!

*hehe* seriousely though: How about making the comic in a 'feedback' style.. Start with a few comics answering the basics, then work between yourself and trusted others in the form of an 'ask Soso' subject. Just like in the columns of Magazines...

And since you don't want to associate the comic with the Burgandy name then the comic might have to be names 'ask claire' or 'ask honor' or if all else fails then have them ask you mom or something!

[Goddessmisca]

I request a comic which tells the truth behind female ejaculation!

*gets peeved at guys who freak out on her

[Honor]

I thought guys went wild over female ejaculation...?

[Irish Witch]

Many people (male and FEmale) don't know that when a woman orgasms they will 'cum'. Sometimes extremely so.

Hence why women can 'fake an orgasm' and why on when I have looked up porn video's many guys have assumed the girl is 'peeing' instead of cumming!

A lot of people just dont understand what the female body can do!

[Nithos]

I thought guys went wild over female ejaculation...?

That assumes they know what one is. It's just not common knowledge, and not everyone explores the depths of porn so much as the men on these forums. As to going wild over it, I think that's mainly a "whoa, I didn't know they could do that!" novelty sort of thing.

Once again, knowledge of anatomy, especially sexual anatomy, is woefully lacking in this culture. Then again, female ejeculation especially seems like it could be awkward to bring up in school. I was lucky to have a relativly good sex ed class, I went to some really good public schools (that were rapidly going to hell as the years past, if I had been a couple years younger things would have sucked).

[Goddessmisca]

Yea, I have learned to warn guys when I get close...

It kinda scarred me when I was younger, cause the first time it happened to me I was 14 and playing with a flashlight...and I thought I was peeing so I thought it was bad. Then after doing alot of reasearch (first sniffing the stuff that I sprayed out and things like that), then online where I found out about this concept of female ejaculation, which existance was debated.

SO I was happy until I messed around with a guy who was like "EWWWWWW YOU PEED ON ME!" then I went back paranoid.

But yea...girls should know about it, guys should know about it, and everyone should know it happens sometimes, it doesn't others, but it is good...

as long as you rember to put down a towel

[CJBurgandy]

got to bump this up so we don't forget to work on it.

[Bluepanda13]

Glad you bumped it, I didn't even know about it!

WONDERFUL project idea.

[Toxic]

The girl's video was telling us the importance of caring for your kotex belt.

...belt?


Anyway, I took sex education in 9th grade. I thought the course was very comprehensive, as we learned about practically every form of birth control, STDs, GLBT, and other topics of that nature. They did mention that abstinence is the only 100% effective form of birth control, but they didn't imply that not having sex was the only option. Then there was my 7th grade teacher, who was an overly religious conservative Irish Catholic. She was a stereotypical, "If you have premarital sex or get an abortion you are going to hell!!!". I didn't pay much attention to her. Even though I'm a pretty liberal guy, I think sex education should be unbiased in either direction, and should just be as comprehensive as possible.

very old item... they were popular in the 50's started fizzing out in the 60's and by the early 70's they stopped selling them. my first sex ed class was in 1992.

even my mother had never used one. but what it is is a belt worn under your under pants with buttons in the front and back that the pad was attached to.

[Nithos]

Heh... for living in the middle of nowhere in a mostly mormon town, my sex ed wasn't too bad. They covered all forms of contraception (including abstinence, but not to the exclusion of other methods) in both the 7th and 9th grade, probably better in the 7th because I had an ultra-lib hippy science teacher teaching it (the guy raised and hunted with his falcons, and fed his dogs raw meat rather than store bought stuff, he was hardcore). The one thing they really skittered around was GLBT issues entirely. I think I learned more about that one on my own, and from one of my friends in high school coming out of the closet (to no one's surprise).

And I don't know why I know what a kotex belt is, but I do. I think one of the classes talked about the pre-history of sex ed, too.

So why not sticky this if you don't want it to drop? It went nearly two months between your bump and the post before it... Or we could all just keep bumping it weekly with kotex-belt jokes



p.s. - anyone seen Honor, or know why she's AWOL? Havn't seen her post in awhile, or maybe I've just missed it.

There was a joke on SNL a while back with Kotex "Classic".

I miss her too. And this progect needs her to keep the rest of us on track.

[Goddessmisca]

She's not been on AIM recently either. *sniffles*
