| Age Play with Paul Rulof - Ep 111 | 18 Nov 2019 | 01:02:40 | |
On Ep 111 we speak with ageplay expert, Paul Ruloff. Paul breaks down the different types of ageplay and the misconceptions about them.

He highlights the differences between non-sexual and sexual ageplayers plus addresses the judgment they face in the BDSM community. Learn about the phenomenon of the 'shrinking childhood' and how it contributes to the surging popularity of age roleplay, why the role of a ‘big’ (like a Mommy Domme or Daddy) is appealing, what ‘forced age regression’ entails, how to play publicly without involving others in your kink non-consensually, why age play can be therapeutic, and more.

On ep 109 we explore the parallels between the kink and gaming cultures with Shanna Germain. It turns out these groups can learn a lot from each other-- especially along the lines of negotiation, consent, and aftercare. Shanna is doing her part to facilitate consent in RPGs (role-playing games) and offers a free resource for gamers. On the same token, those in the BDSM world can expand their horizons by embracing the spirit of play and roleplay gaming principles. We talk about misogyny in the gaming world and what’s being done to create room for diversity plus Shanna gives tips and guidelines to gamers that want to consensually include more adult themes in their games as well as for sex-positive folks that want to give gaming a try.

| Sacred Kink with Lee Harrington - Ep 108 | 28 Oct 2019 | 01:24:29 | |
Lee Harrington joins us for a discussion about sacred kink on episode 108 of American Sex Podcast. If sacred sexuality, ritual, and sex magic aren’t your cup of tea, hold up. Lee explains how the altered states of consciousness and profound emotional shifts experienced during adult play are universal. He teaches us to translate language about these experiences to fit our own personal belief systems. We discuss viewing the sacred through the lens of technology, how to pervert spirituality & identify when that’s appropriate, the practical reality of sex magic we all can benefit from, reconciling your religious beliefs with your kinky desires, feminism and BDSM, combating the “one twue way” thinking in both kink and organized religion, and so much more. Lee makes spiritual concepts mind-blowingly accessible even to those that regard themselves as more science-minded. This episode is not to be missed!

| Life After Bottom Surgery with Callie Wright - Ep 106 | 14 Oct 2019 | 01:10:55 | |
On episode 106 Callie Wright of the Queersplaining Podcast has a candid conversation with us about her experience with bottom surgery. She shares a snapshot at life leading up to surgery including establishing her trans identity. Then Callie takes us step-by-step through the physical & mental prep, recovery, and the procedure itself. During the two years that followed, Callie learned that reclaiming her sexuality with her new vagina was multi-layered--it affected her marriage, her relationship with her body, and sex from a psychological perspective. Although it isn’t typical (or expected) for trans folks to openly talk about their genitals, having these conversations is important to Callie. This information can be reaffirming and necessary for those that opt for bottom surgery and are rediscovering their sexuality.

| Gay in the 1940s with 91 yo Uncle George - Ep 103 | 16 Sep 2019 | 01:00:22 | |
This week's episode is a personal one. We talk to Sunny's 91-year-old Uncle George. He tells us what it was like growing up as a gay man in Chicago in the 1940s. This was when being ‘homosexual’ was illegal and frequenting gay bars and meeting places could result in jail time. George traveled to dozens of countries throughout the mid 20th century, some more accepting than the US and others downright dangerous for gay travelers. An incident in South Africa almost landed him in prison for murder! George recounts living through the AIDS crisis and losing dear friends, how acting conservative with those he was out to ensured his security, the pain of having to hide his lifestyle & partners from family, the very first pride parades, his opinion on LGBTQ+ issues today, the struggles gay elderly people face, brushes with gay celebrities in the golden age of Hollywood, and more. Oh, and he has some choice words for our president too.

| Building Community with Dixie De La Tour - Ep 102 | 09 Sep 2019 | 01:28:19 | |
Humans crave belonging, it’s even smack dab in the middle of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. This week, Dixie De La Tour of Bawdy Storytelling tells us about her years of building community. We learn how acknowledging your authentic self through community changes your self-perception; self-talk transforms from “it was all my fault, I’m a horrible person” to “I'm ok, I did the best I could, I’m not alone.” We touch on the power of vulnerability, cultivating empathy, and finding the courage to tell the stories people really want and need to hear. You’ll learn how to find community in unlikely places no matter where or how you live and why connecting with others in a non-sexual way is essential in sexual subcommunities. A supportive community is not only life-changing, it can also be lifesaving. Dixie also shares a powerful story about how the community she built and her use of the word “vagina” in that community not only healed trauma for an entire family but stopped a habitual abuser from continuing to commit unthinkable crimes.

Nicole Prause, Ph.D. gives us an eye-opening view into the world of a sex researcher. We learn about the latest sexuality research like brain hacking to normalize sexual desire, scientific sex product research, and the very specific laboratory definition of an orgasm that surprisingly fails to line up with what many of us experience in the bedroom. We get into the internal clitoris, vasocongestion, skene's glands, the mystery of sexual vaginal lubrication, and the most sensitive areas of the clitoral glans. Have you heard that men are more sexually visual, orgasms are different based on gender, or the more testosterone someone has the stronger their sex drive is? Dr. Prause tells us why these and other sexual “facts” aren’t true at all. This episode has so much fascinating information, it’s a sex geek’s wet dream! We also tell you about a free upcoming learning resource for existing and aspiring sexuality educators.

| Non-consensual Pelvic Exams: Amy Jo Goddard - Ep 98 | 12 Aug 2019 | 01:00:39 | |
It’s legal in the majority of the US for medical students to perform educational pelvic exams on anesthetized patients without their knowledge. Amy Jo Goddard has been working for years to put a stop to this practice and is producing a documentary on the issue called At Your Cervix.

| Unpopular Opinion: Sex Ed Edition - Ep 84 | 08 Apr 2019 | 01:04:44 | |
On episode 84 of American Sex Podcast, you’re a fly on the wall during a candid conversation between Dirty Lola, Jimanekia Eborn & Sunny Megatron. What started as a twitter debate opened the door to a much larger, systemic issue in both the sex ed community and the world at large. We examine what happens when our well-meaning feminist activism leads way to paternalism, savior complexes, and intersectionality that’s more of a buzzword than something that’s widely understood. We touch on performative allyship vs being an accomplice, when it’s appropriate to speak up on issues affecting marginalized communities and when “stay in your lane” applies, how anti-blackness rears its head even in the most liberal communities, and more. Take a deep breath, listeners, there’s a lot to unpack in this episode.

| Sex & Stigma: Stories of Everyday Life in Nevada’s Legal Brothels - Ep 81 | 18 Mar 2019 | 00:55:02 | |
Nevada is the only state in the US where full-service sex work is legal, but how much do most of us really know about the brothel ecosystem? This week we talk to Dr. Sarah Blythe, co-author of Sex and Stigma: Stories of Everyday Life in Nevada’s Legal Brothels, a book that highlights stories of brothel employees. We talk about what her research uncovered--the positives of consensual sex work in Nevada and it’s juxtaposition with outdated rules and laws that encourage unfair labor practices, discrimination, and perpetuate stigma about sex work. We discuss lockdown policies & curfews, the hypocritical nature of towns that rely on brothel revenue but treat sex workers like second class citizens, and the importance of co-authoring this research with a graduate student who is also a legal courtesan. ___________________________________
