Newsletter No. 67: SUMMER 2014

Co-op seeks discreet comrade for LTR.

We’re a ragtag triad of hardworking, sex-positive, anti-capitalist queers looking for that special someone to fulfill our wildest fantasies.  We get off on nerdy fun, working long and hard hours to service our communities, and group scenes involving hardcore consensus-based decision making.  Our collective turn-offs include capitalism, phthalates, and samples being left on display when they’re actually out of stock.  

You’re someone who loves talking about sex, knows a thing or two about sexuality but isn’t afraid to learn more, and is skilled at putting others at ease - especially in tense or awkward situations.  Other people’s sexual pleasure, health, and sexuality doesn’t  freak you out, and your friends would generally describe you as non-judgmental and sex-positive.  You’ve got a good working knowledge of what it means to work in an anti-racist, anti-oppressive space and even if you don’t have the Seven Principles of Co-operatives tattooed on your forearm (swoon!), you do know the difference between a consumer co-op and a worker co-op like ours.  

We’re hot for oral - specifically bilingualism - but we’d settle for someone who is turned on by Excel or social media or bookkeeping or cleaning Fleshlights (or all of the above).  Punctuality and amazing communication skills are a must, some degree of extroversion would be nice, and while we’re down with extra-co-operative affairs, we’re looking to be your primary relationship for the long haul.

Summer Sexploration Tour

The Come Where You Are Summer Sexploration Tour continues!  We rolled back into town  just in time for WorldPride after our extensive five week Prairie Pride adventure.  We can’t thank everyone enough for being so good to us on the road, and we’re just overwhelmed by the number of people who came out to support us.  We put on some really fun and engaging workshops, talked to thousands of people about sex positivity and co-operatives, and our Westfalia didn’t break down once!

Our tour continues all summer long, so be sure to look for us (and our beloved Westie Bessie) in London, Windsor, Sudbury, and Peterborough, Ontario.
