Hacking Menstruation: Making Cloth Pads Out of Recycled Clothing

Saturday, May 4th, 2013: 2p-??

  • As Aunt Flo always said, "cloth pads make the Earth happy and don't bust your pocket book!" This workshop is intended for people who menstruate and for people who have friends who menstruate (and want to make them lovely presents!). We will go over a dizzying array of cool lady products beyond the cloth pad, and have fun cost-comparisons of different options.
  • A special educational interlude will be performed by Craig, who will be discussing the Phage Therapy he is developing to do away with antibiotic-resistent gonorrhea!

Fascinating Friday Films

Let's include in this weekly event mind-expanding movies on the realm of sex and sexuality.

Interactive Pheromone Station

Based off the old Exploratorium installation titled "The Olfaction of Attraction", explorers had access to little squeeze bottles with human pheromones in them. Depending on one's genes and gender, one may find the smell either repulsive or attractive. It's fantastic seeing two people, one with a look of disgust and the other with a pleased smile, trying to reconcile their different perceptions.

"Quantified Sex" Experiments

Heart rate monitors, skin flushing, eeg, etc.

  • This relates to Ned and Maggie Mayhem of [1]: "PSIgasm was conceived in 2010 by an HIV prevention specialist and an experimental physicist, both of whom moonlight as queer porn performers and are active in the Bay Area sex positive scene. The project revolves around measurement devices that can be used as sex toys, simultaneously getting people off and monitoring physiological responses correlated with arousal and orgasm."
    Let's start a high end condom fashion line!

Self-Examinations

Genitalia, yay!

Sex Toy Repair Workshop

Inclusivity

Community Infrastructure

How do we make the hackerspace a more inclusive space for people of all intersections of human sexuality?

  • Let's create a sexual health box, including menstrual and safe sex products and information. Thinking in terms of the analog world and how people interact within it is really important!

Resources and People to Connect With

  • Good Vibes. OH WAIT, Vicky knows Joani Blank, the founder!
  • Feelmore 510 - gallery and sex shop, also run Fresh Fridays at The New Parkway (selection of films from the erotic, pornographic, thoughtful and beyond)
  • FemSexComm/FemSex
  • Arse Electronika
  • Slashdong: Kyle Machulis is a whip-smart brash software engineer who, on the side, blogs about teleldildonics (using haptic and telecommunications technology to facilitate long-distance sex), DIY sex toys, and other mash-ups of sex and tech. He's really fun.
  • The Archaeology of Vice. Kari Jones and Liz Clevinger work in the archaeology programs at the Presidio of San Francisco. Among the things unearthed? Well, the archeological record suggests that, shockingly, soldiers stationed there liked sex, based on the wide range of vintage porn, prophylactics, and medically-dubious STD cures dug up in the Presidio."

And always remember...

The Clitoris is a direct line to the Matrix.
