ABSTRACT

Exploring queer sexuality is a political act, deeply tied to acknowledging first and foremost who we are as a queer community and whom we desire. Queer includes lesbians, gay men, bisexuals, transpeople, intersex persons, and radical sex communities. Like-minded queers seeking to communicate with one another around the world have been doing a spectacular job of creating our own valuable online spaces. For the queer community, as with any other, cultural knowledge is created through sharing our experiences. Queer sex blogs and fashion Tumblrs provide intimate, direct, and detailed answers for curious queers in an approachable, non-judgmental way. The award-winning Sugarbutch Chronicles is a website that offers "dirty stories, essays, advice and journal entries about queer sex, kink, gender and relationships". The website offers advice about how to have a healthy and fulfilling sex life as a member of the queer BDSM community.
