Just done an interview with Elle magazine about the rise of women 'turning' lesbian. It always intrigues me when women's magazines run these kind of stories; as if lesbians don't exist until suddenly some film (or celebrity) comes out and it's suddenly all cool and groovy for women to cop off with women.
I've been told by many women's magazines over the years that running lesbian stories on a regular basis isn't practical because the advertisers don't like it. Seems like a cop out to me.
So anyway, trotted out the usual lines - sexuality being a sliding scale, it being easier for women to admit to lesbian thoughts because it's less stigmatised nowadays (unlike blokes being gay - be cool if that lost the stigma) and all that kind of stuff.
After that, got a cool phone call. I've been asked to trial for a slot on LBC radio - ten minutes a week on what's going on in the sex world; quirky stories, the latest sex toys and all that kind of stuff. My first slot is next Tuesday at 8.30pm and if it goes well, I'll be doing every other Tuesday.
Other than that, doing the usual sex stuff. First meeting of the sexual coalition thing went well. Lots of ideas and everyone seems keen to work together. We're planning our first campaign but have all the boring admin stuff to get sorted first. Joy.
