Do Queer People Have Queer Sex?

It’s Pride Month and while the killings in Orlando are rightly turning our attention to the everyday and extreme violence experienced especially by black, brown, and Indigenous LGBTQ folks, I thought I'd take this week to consider the highs and lows, twists and turns and curlicues of queer sex.  This week we look at what we mean by queer sex, I answer a question from a young gay man who is surprised by his lack of erections, and we visit a library full of labia.  We end with a consideration of the best sex you’ve ever had.  ~  Cory

What Is Queer Sex?  

What I love most about this question is how it uncovers what might be a disturbing fact to many people:  we have no idea what any kind of sex is, really.   Of course what’s disturbing to some is exciting to others (and by others I really mean me).

Young, Gay, and Frustrated  
"I am 22, gay, and I only recently started to have sex. There were so many factors contributing to me starting so late - according to friends, media and my ego - which were hindering but when I try something happens. I want to have sex so bad, and I will be really into a guy, but my penis will not get erect. I thought this was just a problem for older people or people who had health problems."
