CARLYLE JANSEN
Sexuality Educator and Activist

“The Pleasures and Pains of Sexual Activism”

Carlyle Jansen grew up with a fear of sex and pleasure. Since discovering orgasms in her late 20’s, she has been passionate about learning about her sexuality and offering opportunities for others to explore theirs as well. She is the founder of Good For Her ~ a workshop centre, sex shop and organizers of the Feminist Porn Awards ~ as well as a founding member of the Trans and Women’s Bathhouse Committee. Carlyle is now also a member of the Good For Her Sexual Health, Education and Pleasure Project ~ a not-for-profit organization whose mission is to provide free pleasure based sexual health education workshops to youth and other marginalized communities.

Your input is invited ~ bring your questions, ideas, thoughts, and energy.

Here I am being interviewed for the blog version of one of my all time favourite magazines!  Imagine Sassy with way more politics and less stupid dresses and in-jokes, and you’ve got Shameless.

Thanks Shameless dames!  You are the best!

We are already on Facebook.   Myspace, too.  But the next frontier arrived today:  Good For Her got a Twitter!  We hope you’ll add us and then we’ll get to follow you, and you can follow us and get the up to the minute scoop and great deals, extra special Twitter coupons, wicked awesome events, and more!  We’ve become obsessed!  Join us as we tweet this awful weather away!

You’d think that toiling day in and day out would allow a loyal sex store employee such as myself plenty of opportunity to treat myself. For some reason, it doesn’t always work that way. The other side of the coin is that there is so much amazing stuff to choose from and simply not enough time to try everything!

So just in case Santa is listening, Here are a few things I hope to find under my xxxmas tree this year!

1) The Njoy Pure Wand: Man, everytime I look at this toy I get a special gleam in my eye. Solid, shiny steel, curves to die for, and a weight that makes it a serious and sturdy g-spot tool. SIGN ME UP.

2) Naked in the Woods Earthly Body Massage Oil. This stuff really smells like it’s name! Fresh with a very slight hint of spice, I want to slather this all over my dry skin and streak through the alleys of Toronto (the closest I get to nature these days!)

3) Pearl Cuffs: Oh, how pretty are these! I’ve seen them up close, and they aren’t going to survive any kind of serious struggle, but dang, how good will I look while I’m promising to stay very very still.

4) X:The Erotic Treasury Susie Bright is definitely one of my sex-positive heroes of the whole universe, and this book is gorgeous enough to be the only thing on my night table. G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S. The stories look stellar on top of the good looks.

5) Rosebud Vibrator: I’ve managed to make it though years of working in sex stores without ever using a rabbit-type vibrator. I have no idea how it’s happened. I think the best way to end this tragic state of affairs is with the gorgeous Rosebud. This vibe is so satin-y soft and made of silicone for those sensitive types (like yours truly). It’s also got pretty impressive power, and some extra vibe-y bits for alllll kinds of delicious stimulation.

It’s time for a bit of blatant self promotion! I wrote an article for the very awesome This Magazine, and it’s now online! Read it and learn all about the history of anti-porn feminism and why porn rules, okay?

And here is a little video where you can see the lovely insides of the Good For Her Headquarters, and hear me yapping all about my job and porn. I hope you like it!
