Judith Bernstein, Trailblazer in Erotic Art an Interview with the Feminist Visionary About Her Art and Its Current Revival
805 Traction Avenue Los Angeles CA 90013 213.625.1747 www.theboxla.com Judith Bernstein, Trailblazer in Erotic Art An interview with the feminist visionary about her art and its current revival. BY HAZEL CILLS | JAN 20, 2016 (ELENA POLSON AND STEFANIE APPLE) As one of the founders of New York City's A.I.R. Gallery, the first-ever all-female art gallery in the United States, artist Judith Bernstein had a career that seemed to be on the rise in the early 1970s. The Newark-born, Yale-educated artist made bold, erotic large-scale charcoal drawings of phalluses that stood apart from the clean, conceptual minimalist works that populated galleries at the time. But when one of these pieces, a scratchy, mural-size illustration of a screw-shaped phallus titled Horizontal, was censored from the 1974 show "Women's Work" in Philadelphia, Bernstein had trouble getting her graphic art into galleries. 805 Traction Avenue Los Angeles CA 90013 213.625.1747 www.theboxla.com It wasn't until decades later, in 2008, that gallerist Mitchell Algus gave Bernstein a solo show in New York and Paul McCarthy fell in love with her work and exhibited her at his West Coast gallery the Box. Suddenly, Bernstein's long-underrated art was being given positive reviews at contemporary galleries, and from there, her textured penises, anti-war paintings, and vaginal icons made their way into the collections of the Whitney, MoMA, and the Jewish Museum, among others. Today, the art world is just beginning to recognize Bernstein as a trailblazer in erotic art, and her work that was once relegated to storage has a newfound audience. -

Erotica Menu: Ideas for Alternatives to Traditional
OHSU Program in Vulvar Health Erotica Menu Suggestions for Exploring Intimacy Without Pain Vulvar and vulvovaginal pain affect each woman and her sexuality differently. Some of you have not been able to feel or behave sexually for some time, and you may fear that you have lost your ability to do so. Part of your recovery from your pain is to (re)build your sexual and relationship confidence. We therefore encourage you to consider the kinds of relationship activities and ideas below as part of your treatment for your vulvar symptoms. Vaginal and penetrative intercourse is only one way of being sexual. And, although it is the behavior that most of us consider to be “having sex,” it is often not the most sexually gratifying activity for women. When you have vulvar pain, intercourse can become impossible. Although facing this can be difficult, it can also be an excellent opportunity for women and couples to find out what else they might like to do together that can help them to restore and/or maintain sexual and physical intimacy in their relationship. And for those of you not in relationships, it can be a time to learn a lot about what your own body enjoys and desires. In the spirit of exploration and pleasure enhancement for you and your partner (if you have one), we offer the following “menu.” Some of these activities are genitally/sexually focused, others are not. Please use them as guides and experiments. The list is not exhaustive and we encourage you to use the books, websites and other resources contained in these suggestions in order to further your own sexual research. -

Cet Étalon N'a Pas De Selle : Le Barebacking Dans La Pornographie
Cet étalon n’a pas de selle : le barebacking dans la pornographie Nicolas SAUCIER Maîtrise en sociologie Université Laval, CÉLAT Résumé La pornographie est une industrie des plus intéressantes. Plus qu’un divertissent, c’est un média dans lequel on peut voir des discours de valeurs et d’idées et un agent d’imposition de plusieurs normes sexuelles (Mason-Grant, 2004). En s’appropriant ce média, les communautés de barebackers, prônant une idéologie de sexe non protégé entre hommes, transforment les normes sexuelles des communautés gays et véhiculent leurs discours. Étudier la pornographie bareback, comme véhicule du discours c’est tenter de les comprendre. Introduction Cet article est monté en deux volets. Premièrement, je me dois d'expliquer brièvement ce qu'est le barebacking, le contexte et les raisons de son émergence, principalement en me référant à Crossley (2001, 2004) et à Rofes (1998). Le second volet est plus une analyse de la pornographie gay bareback. Je vais y présenter quelques thèmes récurrents et ce que ces derniers nous enseignent sur les motivations et le discours des barebackers. Ces thèmes sont inspirés de mes travaux sur les forums et blogues de barebackers et le résultat de longues observations et analyse de la pornographie gay. Effectivement, pour écrire cette présentation, j'ai visionné de la pornographie : ceci comprend un corpus de plus de 60 longs- ou courts-métrages pornographiques et une quantité incalculable de petits vidéos en ligne. Ce corpus compte des films de toutes catégories, barebacks et certains non-barebacks, allant des classiques vintages aux fétiches des plus obscurs en passant par les films appelés «interraciaux», le cuir, les films japonais et le muscle worship1.
