I just wanted to take a moment to shout out to the amazing staff at Babeland, (”sex toys for a passionate world”), and especially co-owner Claire Cavanah. A birth center working with a sex toy shop? Indeed – change the word “birth” to the word “sex” and we’re having the same conversation, discussing normal, healthy events in our lives that have too often been marginalized or made taboo.
After the success of our fall event Women Come First (isn’t that a great name??) we teamed up with the Brooklyn Babeland store to host the monthly Sexy Moms series. We are so thrilled to have the opportunity to discuss issues of desire, parenthood, pregnancy, and connections to ourselves as women and mothers and we’re grateful to Babeland for providing the venue and the support.

I wish that we could have events like that here in Knoxville, TN where I live! There would be some really great response in this area for that sort of thing.
I believe it is so important for women to feel empowered not only by their childbirth experience, but by their sexuality also!
