Erm.

Some of my readers might disagree with you about Carnal Nation.

Actually, C&B, the articles are not worthless in any way…but it would be nice to submit them to sites with more reputable reputations for not screwing their bloggers.

Carnal Nation and Sex in the Public Square would be excellent starters.

Back away from the computer, C&B. Back slowly away.

Just to clarify – “I am NOW, from THIS POINT FORWARD despite my PREVIOUS BEHAVIOR trying to avoid the drama.”

But seriously, thanks Kate!

I’m trying to avoid the drama, but I’d just like to thank Kate for clarifying that the articles I’ve contributed to SexIs – like “The Sexual Revolution Versus the Female Imagination”, were completely worthless. I’m sure all the other writers who contributed to SexIs will appreciate that too.

I occasionally advertise in BUST myself, and they usually send me a monthly email asking me to advertise again. I’ll remember to tell them about EF/SexIs next time they ask this small business to give them my ad dollars.

Hey y’all: I never heard about _SexIs_ or knew that it was an Eden Fantasys mag until I read about it here. I deduced it was an online mag only, until I bought the latest issue of _Bust_ last night at the store. Packaged along with _Bust_ is a glossy issue of _SexIs_!!!

I think it’s sick that this is basically a catalog for Eden Fantasys that they have made look like a legitimate alternative magazine, and coupling it with _Bust_ gives it even more legitimacy; in fact I thought when purchasing _Bust_ previously packaged thusly with _SexIs_, that it must be a new _Bust_ spinoff!! I know EdenFantasys wants us to think that, and that _Bust_ just “happens” to want us to buy toys from EF…

I’m writing to _Bust_ to let them know that I can’t support a business with such devious and predatory practices…especially when their tagline is “The Sex Shop You Can Trust”…I’m including a link to AAG’s posts…and I’m also telling them that I will no longer be buying their magazine until they address these ethical issues with their advertiser.

I know it probably won’t do anything…EF obviously pays big moolah to be packaged like that in that mag…but how can a mag founded on principles of feminism and female empowerment support a biz that rips off and exploits female sex bloggers??

I’ve also reported them via google webmaster tools, maybe a post on how to report a site to google and how to fill out the fields would be helpful for all those who don’t quite understand the technical jargon. As obviously speaking up on EF is getting people blocked and is pointless as they delete all un-supportive posts

I’m trying to picture how that would work…

Yep, I can picture it.
