Watch Your Tongue
(Nov. 6, 2008) Editor:
Thank you for Ryan Burns’ excellent article “At the Orgy” about Humboldt Imps latest sex-positive event (Oct. 30).
It must be mentioned, though, that Ghouls Gone Wild was not an “orgy.” This is an important linguistic distinction. An orgy involves multiple parties who have all consented to interact sexually with one another. It was explicitly stated to those of us who arrived at the Imps event that attendance did not imply consent for any sexual interaction.
Everyone consented to be at a sexy event with conscious, friendly people and juicy energy. The decision to seek out opportunities to play with others in a sexual manner was an entirely individual choice, and one that we shouldn’t have any other way.

As one of the three women who led The Impropriety Society, I want to express our appreciation for a factual and respectful article about our event in last week’s Journal.
