Koe Creation is a 2nd generation sex educator who grew up in a way that may be unusual to some, with multiple parent figures as part of a polyamorous household. In this episode we dive in to what this family model looked like for Koe growing up, and ways it had a positive impact on their development of their own sense of sexuality and sex-positivity from childhood to adulthood. They also share tactical tips on engaging questions on these (often maligned as taboo) topics in an age-appropriate way for kids and adults alike. You can learn more about Koe's work by reaching out to them at koecreation@gmail.com or find them at @koecreate on Twitter.

Ah butt sex, a source of misunderstanding and anxiety for many, but according to our guest butt expert (buttspert?) sex educator and writer Charlie Glickman, a source of so much untapped potential for experiencing our bodies. Join us as we unpack the taboos, myths, and how-tos of getting your rear in gear in this episode. Find Charlie at @charlieglickman on Twitter and at CharlieGlickman.com. A word of warning to our listeners, this episode involves a lot of anatomical talk and some unpacking of the rape culture around anal sex, so if this is a tough topic for you please keep that in mind. As always, we love to hear from you at @tabootaboopod on Twitter, and tabootaboopodcast@gmail.com.

Submitting to a femdom partner is fun for many men, but even those who enjoy it fear how they might be viewed by other men and society at large for being "a sub." In dating Ava, Bob learned how much he loves getting punched with closed fists, but how scary it can be for men to identify as submissive, and what it means for the rest of their professional and personal lives. This femdom D/s couple open up about how they met, fell for each other in to a fetish dynamic, and drifted apart. If you listen closely, you can connect Bob to some other episodes...

Dave has an incredible story as you heard in the last episode. In this episode Dave suggests that it is perhaps time to declare victory for gay rights and re-address how we protest. Dave currently teaches kids how to shoot guns under an NRA grant, but that's not where he comes from. Dave has been an out gay man since the sixties, and he has been protesting ever since.

On this incredible episode of the TabooTaboo podcast, I interviewed my good friend and activist, Dave. Dave started his activism by marching for Civil Rights in the 60s with the NAACP. Today he teaches kids how to shoot guns under an NRA grant. Curious how he got from point A to point B? It's an incredible story of gay and civil rights activism, sobriety, and sheer force of will.

Is there anything more taboo than letting yourself be vulnerable enough to fall in love? This is the final part of a 3 part series with lifestyle FemDom Ava Ex Machina. In this interview, Ava flips the format on me. We dive deep on the fears and the joys of falling in love with our fetish flings, aftercare, and the differences in how stigma around kink dynamics affects how and with whom we can connect with in our romantic relationships. Ava can be found at @silicondomme on Twitter, and at valleyofthedommes.com If you want more Ava, she'll also be on a future episode where we interview her former sub/ex boyfriend. Juicy!

So maybe you do like to get tied up and spanked in bed, but what if you wanted to do it "full time" every day? Ava brings the heat in part 2 of this 3 part series on her dating experience as a lifestyle or 24/7 femdom, partaking in dominant and submissive dynamic relationships that don't just keep the kink inside the bedroom. Trying to find someone that matches with your kinks can look exhausting, even scary from the outside looking in. How do you find people to date when your idea of love hurts? Listen and find out.

This is our first full length episode! We dive into the world of heroin. What does it feel like? Who does it? Why is Seattle legalizing it? We get down to brass tacks in our discussion of the example of how Seattle's decriminalization model could break down the taboo of addiction, and maybe work for the rest of the country.
