• Human Sexuality "The sexuality of human beings comprises a broad range of behavior and processes, including the physiological, psychological, social, cultural, political, and spiritual or religious aspects of sex and human sexual behavior. Philosophy, particularly ethics and the study of morality, as well as theology, also address the subject."
  • Tantra and Neotantra Sacred and/or Spiritual Sexuality

• BDSM Sexuality singly or with other consenting adults in the pursuit of personal growth, or enjoyment, often using pre-established rules.
  • Domination, Submission and Sadomasochism
  • Bondage and Shibari
  • Power Exchange, Slavery, and Total Power Exchange
  • Spanking
  • Cuckolding, Chastity training and Sexual Humiliation
  • Genital Piercing, including Nipple piercing, Clitoral piercing and Prince Albert piercing
  • Slave Training, Servitude

• Polyamory Multiple loving, responsible, honest long-term relationships. Non-monogamy.
• NCSF - NCSF is primarily focused on the rights of consenting adults in the SM-leather-fetish, swing, and polyamory communities, who often face discrimination because of their sexual expression.

[edit] Politically

I am a moderate, and discouraged by both ends of the political spectrum.

Like most Americans, I think George Bush is an idiot, and hold great shame that the world judges me, and other Americans by his actions.

[edit] Religious

I have developed my own personal life philosophy over the years, and came to the understanding that this philosophy is essentially a variation of Buddhist thought. Particularly Zen Buddhism, and is also Existentialist in nature.

Key elements of my personal philosophy are:

• Respect for others, and their right to their own religious beliefs. We all seek enlightenment, and all paths are equally valid in the pursuit of that enlightenment.
• Live a life of humility, service.
• Show Kindness and Compassion for all living things.
• Reserve time for individual meditation, or contemplative thought.
• Always being honest and true. All things are interconnected, and lying to anyone is just a round about way of trying to fool ones-self, and results in slowing your own path to enlightenment, and may deflect others as well from theirs.
• Never taking anything that is not yours, or not given freely.

[edit] Favorite Quotes

Userboxes Picture of the day A daguerreotype of the United States Capitol in 1846, with the original green copper dome as designed by Charles Bulfinch. Over time, extensions to both the north and south wings, made to accommodate the addition of new states to the Union, made the dome aesthetically displeasing, and as a result, it was replaced by a white cast iron dome which was completed in 1866.

[edit] Sexology Tasks

Here are some open WikiProject Sexology and Sexuality tasks:

• Current Discussion:
  • Work in Progress -- Image guidelines for Sexology and Sexuality
  • Peer review -- Attraction to disability

• Major work needed:
  • Pup-play is being proposed for deletion on the grounds that its references are not reliable. Could use some major revision.
  • Sexual Revolution article needs reorganizing, editing for consistency, and general cleanup.
  • Pornography. Article is a featured article candidate. See What is a featured article for criteria to fine tune; No big changes.
  • Human sexual behavior is tagged with "original research". Need to track down sources and citations for the facts and opinions stated. This may involve a partial rewrite of the article.
  • Paraphilia: Respond to request that definition is incorrect, or conflicting within the article. Source the statements in the article and/or rewrite to provide citations.
  • History of sex. (See Talk:History of sexuality/to do.)
  • polygyny needs considerable cleanup work after a series of ip copyedits, especially citations.
  • polyamory, polygyny, polygamy and polyandry should have more common points rather than differing histories.
  • Polysexuality requires cleanup, restructuring, or even rewriting. Merging this article with other articles should also be considered.

• Minor work needed:
  • Strap-on dildo needs history references.

[edit] Open tasks
