Liz Farsaci, November 10th, 2009
Having discussed sex and language and the relationship between the two last week, I had been planning on writing about a totally different topic this week. However, after reading the thought-...
Liz Farsaci, November 3rd, 2009
Looking for sympathy, I recently wanted to tell my partner that I had a small itch on my outer labia (don't worry, nothing majora). Half-way through my complaint, though, I had to stop abruptly,...
Liz Farsaci, October 27th, 2009
The fuss over Meghan McCain's recent booby photo on Twitter (and I seriously wonder how much of it was manufactured) pissed me off to no end on a number of levels. However, I don't want to give her...
Liz Farsaci, October 20th, 2009
An autumnal chill is in the air, and many store displays now boast Halloween costumes and decorations. I often dress up as a witch—it's easy (although every year I vow to put more thought into...

A 25-year-old Polish man named Ryszard Giersz recently won a landmark court case in which his neighbour, Anna S., was fined after she repeatedly harassed him verbally. Among her taunts was the term...

In last week's column, I wrote about the much-debated Civil Partnership bill in Ireland which, if passed, could legalize same-sex marriage. That the bill was even written is testament to the huge...
Liz Farsaci, September 29th, 2009
A new—and very significant—Civil Partnership Bill is set to go before Irish politicians in October. The bill, which could potentially come into effect by the end of this year, would...

Cora Emens, the lovely lady featured in last week's column, spent years being referred to as "the masturbation girl." Well, I have to say, after being away from my partner for three weeks...
Liz Farsaci, September 15th, 2009
Cora Emens has certainly been quite the pioneer when it comes to helping Dutch people love themselves and have better sex. Having travelled to the US in order to attend one of Betty Dodson's...

In Hungary, a collection of charitable organisations claiming to be concerned with human trafficking have been discussing legislation which, if ever approved by the government, would criminalize the...
Liz Farsaci, August 25th, 2009
Thanks to many social and political changes, our concepts of love and marriage have changed quite a bit in the last 50 years or so. As attitudes have changed (by and large), though, legislation has...

Having worked as one of New York City's famous madams in the Swinging Sixties, Xaviera Hollander—often known as the Happy Hooker (and portrayed in the 1975 film of that name by Lynn Redgrave)...
Liz Farsaci, August 11th, 2009
Some of you may have read my article on nude modeling, and how it has affected the way I view myself, sexuality, art and society. However, being naked is a very different experience for individual...

Perhaps though,...
Liz Farsaci, July 7th, 2009
The sensual red lights, sparkling above the prostitute’s windows or flashing above a sex theater. The seductively dressed women, through provocative poses and meaningful looks, beckoning at you...

While gays and lesbians in America fight state by state for the right to marry, their counterparts in the Netherlands have had that right for eight years. Liz Farsaci talks to one of the men...
Liz Farsaci, June 11th, 2009
I’m outside a club, drunk. An Aussie guy I met earlier this evening is standing behind me, his arms wrapped around my waist. He’s travelling around Europe, presumably sleeping his way through all the...
