As you may know, I run a monthly storytelling show called SUNDAY NIGHT SEX TALKS at Bar Lubitsch in West Hollywood.  Think of it like The Moth, except all the topics have to do with sex, love and relationships.

As you boys who post on my Facebook page about coming in drag seem to know, it’s strictly NO BOYS ALLOWED. Only once has a man stepped foot inside the show, and that was for a very special circumstance that even the performer he was there to see didn’t know. So to answer the question, let’s see how convincing your drag is, and then we’ll talk.

But for now, I thought I’d do a monthly recap of the lessons learned inside our very special sanctuary of storytelling. This is for those who don’t live in LA, those who couldn’t make it, and those who haven’t had the chance to join us yet. And yes, for you guys too.

Obviously names are concealed and stories are paraphrased to protect the brave performers who tell all at each show. We’re really not kidding about this privacy policy thing, which is why you hear some pretty incredible tales at our little show.

• Not all people love sex. In fact, some people don’t like it much at all. That can be complicated, confusing and contradictory (especially when they are also people who have lots of sex), but it’s a truth that some people are dealing with, and like anything in life, the strong ones are finding a way to laugh through it. 

• School is super hard – especially grammar school…and middle school…and high school…and college. One little event can really linger throughout your life, but it’s never too late to say what you’ve been feeling for X years and have those words make a deeper impact than whatever history you’re still working to overcome. 

• YOU CAN’T PRAY THE GAY AWAY. I mean, duh, but it bears re-mentioning after hearing straight from a woman who spent two full years in a place that believed it could be done.

• Sex isn’t exactly like riding a bike. If you find yourself away from it for awhile it may take a lesson or two to get yourself back on track.

• Look up the word “skeet” before casually singing ‘Lil Jon’s “Get Low” to a classroom full of college kids. Urban Dictionary is a good place to start.  

• It’s not only men who cheat and lie and sleep around. This seems obvious until you spend a few minutes reading the Internet. We are all capable of using sex to hurt others, but it’s usually because we’re in a lot of pain ourselves. 

• Korean mothers can be very conservative, and very hysterical.

• Despite popular knowledge, your skills on the dance floor have no bearing on your skills in the bedroom.

Now doesn’t this make you want to come out for our 2nd ANNIVERSARY BASH, October 13th!? Details to come, but Save That Date!
