Two attractive, well-spoken women on stage in the Newberry Room at the Muddy River Smokehouse are dressed in vintage flight attendant uniforms and standing in front of a diagram of a woman's bottom. I have already learned the precise anatomical location of the elusive female G-spot and am reeling from the discovery that I have a G-spot of my own, hidden away from all the world, including myself. I'm trying to catalog the dizzying array of facts, theories and common misconceptions when Em and Lo start lecturing the audience about the good and bad aspects of a more adventurous sex life, in airline-speak, as in: "At this point in your journey, we'd like to welcome you to the lower rectum. We hope you enjoy your stay. Please feel free to move about the cabin, trying out various pressures and strokes."

The show at Muddy River was the last stop on a six-date "Sex Ed for Grown Ups" road show for Emma Taylor (Em) and Lorelei Sharkey (Lo), two NYC writers who got their start at Nerve.com, where they met as editors and created the sex want-ads and a sexual questionnaire. They thought a sex advice column would be a nice complement. Calling themselves Near-Experts, Em and Lo have written sex advice articles for Glamour, Cosmo, GQ, New York Magazine, the Boston Globe and ReadyMade Magazine, as well as a handful of publications in England. They have also co-authored "The Big Bang: Nerve's Guide to the New Sexual Universe" and "Sex Etiquette for Ladies and Gentlemen."

When their talents came to the attention of NARAL Pro-Choice America Foundation, the organization asked Em and Lo to do a tour that was more politically focused, one that taught about better sex but, more importantly, publicized the state of affairs concerning reproductive rights under the current administration.

"We're not trying to convert anyone," says Lo about the show. The goal is to educate about a somewhat taboo subject.

Garnering what I would term an NC-21 rating, "Sex Ed for Grown Ups" was refreshingly direct. The pair bombarded the audience with laws and statistics, but in a style more akin to a comedy troupe than to my high school health teacher.

And the audience went home with some intriguing facts, from the legal number of sex toys an individual can own in Texas (0 as sexual implements, no more than 5 as novelty items), and the most common sexually transmitted diseases (HPV, or Human Papillomavirus), to misinformation being spread by what Em and Lo term the current "Anti-Choice" government (that condoms do not reduce the spread of HIV and AIDS), to the fact that on his first day in office, President Bush eliminated "U.S. funding to any international family planning organizations that offer abortion counseling or services with their own private funds." The federal government does not fund any sexuality education that promotes the use of any birth control (aside from abstinence) outside of wedlock. The Supreme Court is just one more conservative justice away from overturning Roe v. Wade (4 of the current 9 have voted to overturn), and your health provider is more likely to pay for your Viagra than for any birth control.
