Want to dust up your French? Browse this posting from Le Devoir by Catherine Lalonde in which we muse on the lovely realities of sexual health function in the social media algorithm age. (Sarcastic tone. Evil grin. Wrenched fingers. Watering eyes. )

If French is not your detail, know it’s about the never ever-ending saga of banishment and shadow baning knowledgeable by sexuality educators at the hand of social media platforms. Particularly about the scenario of Intercourse-ED + getting kicked out of LinkedIn and dropping 12000 experienced contacts.

The “funny” part? When the journalist contacted LinkedIn to inquire about Sexual intercourse-ED +‘ situation, the account was reinstated. I went from unsafe LinkedIn group member to genuine with one simply click of a mouse. Guess these platforms do not like obtaining fingers pointed at them.

There is a thin line to walk if you want to exist (I work alone in my basement, it doesn’t take place without the need of social media) and not compromise also considerably of one’s soul (No, I will not publish *seggsuality* in my posts and indeed, I will clearly show genital reproductions simply because this is what I do).
