A couple of years ago, I covered Star Garden, a strip club in North Hollywood, which unionized through SAG-AFTRA. But there's a classic example of stripper unionization that's THE case study often pointed to: Strippers at San Francisco's Lusty Lady organized into the Exotic Dancers Union in 1996. The Exotic Dancers Union was affiliated with the Service Employees International Union. Eventually, the strippers bought the club and ran it as a worker-owned co-op until The Lusty Lady closed in 2013.  This episode dives into Jayne's research on sex worker social movements and how sex workers are responsible for the rise of sex positivity and sex-positive politics/feminism.

Save 10% on your next Fleshlight with Promo Code: PRIVATE at fleshlight.com. For the 197th episode of Private Parts Unknown, host Courtney Kocak welcomes Paris-based journalist Monique El-Faizy to unpack France's Gisèle Pelicot case. This French legal battle, which culminated in a landmark December verdict, exposed a horrifying conspiracy to rape involving dozens of men—led by Pelicot's own husband. To break it all down, I'm joined by Monique El-Faizy, who has been closely following the case and is writing a book about it. We discuss the disturbing details, Pelicot's incredible bravery in waiving her anonymity and making the case public, and what this case reveals about the insidious nature of misogyny and the banality of sexual assault. We also talk about the parallels in Monique's previous book, All the President's Women: Donald Trump and the Making of a Predator. But don't worry—we end on a lighter note, with Monique sharing her experiences with dating and non-monogamy in Paris in her 50s. Read my HuffPost Personal essay inspired by the case here.

    For the 184th episode of Private Parts Unknown, host Courtney Kocak welcomes happily married swingers Dave and Victoria Arena for an episode all about non-monogamy — swinging, in specific. And I have the perfect guests because they've been happily married and active in the lifestyle for decades. I met Dave and Victoria through a screenwriting workshop. They actually wrote a pilot for a TV series inspired by their swinger lifestyle. In real life, it began as innocent pillow talk, but when Victoria took the daring step to sign them up for a non-monogamy app, they had no idea what they were in for... But they quickly worked through that first awkward encounter and have been making it work ever since. Twenty years is a long time to be happily swinging with your partner, so in this episode, we'll learn their secrets for lasting so long in the lifestyle. We also explore how they first became swingers, their initial rules, how they prioritize their relationship, the joys of sex clubs, and the swinging scene in Cleveland, Ohio vs. New York City, plus tips for couples who want to start swinging and how to approach the conversation with your partner. This is a horny treat from the archive—this episode originally ran in April 2023.

    For the 174th episode of Private Parts Unknown, host Courtney Kocak welcomes Laura Boyle, author of Monogamy? In this Economy?: Finances, Childrearing, and Other Practical Concerns of Polyamory. In this interview, Laura Boyle shares her personal journey into polyamory, which began at age 19, and how she later became a relationship coach and educator on the topic. The conversation delves into the practical aspects of polyamorous relationships, including managing finances, child-rearing, and cohabitation—the subject of Boyle's latest book. Boyle highlights key findings from her research, such as the prevalence of three-adult households in polyamory and the challenges of navigating custody battles with non-polyamorous ex-partners. The discussion also explores the growing interest in non-monogamy, the stigma surrounding polyamory, and Boyle's philosophy as a relationship anarchist.

    For the 164th episode of Private Parts Unknown, host Courtney Kocak welcomes Hannah Sward, author of Strip: A Memoir. Hannah opens up about her unconventional childhood, including being abandoned by her mother, living with her poet father, experiencing sexual abuse as a child, and (of course) a stint on a commune. She also shares her entry into sex work, first as a call girl and then as a stripper, working alongside her sister, why she started using crystal meth, and how she finally got sober after losing a decade to addiction. We discuss Hannah's current perspective on the changing cultural attitudes towards sex work, how her family reacted to the book's contents, and how writing the memoir was healing in that it coincided with her recovery yet also came with the emotional challenges of revisiting past traumas.

    The Most Forgotten Letter in LGBTQIA: Cody Daigle-Orians of Ace Dad Advice on the Underrepresentation of Asexuality

    For the 160th episode of Private Parts Unknown, host Courtney Kocak welcomes Cody Daigle-Orians, the influencer behind Ace Dad Advice and author of I Am Ace, to discuss the underrepresentation of asexuality in popular culture. It's Pride Month, and there's lots of rightful celebration for the LGBTIA community, but rarely mention of the acronym's A. In fact, asexuality is so underrepresented in culture that it can be hard to self-identify. Cody Daigle-Orians didn't realize they were asexual until age 42 after initially coming out as gay. It was reading about asexuality on Tumblr that led to their ah-ha moment. In this episode, Cody explains the nuances of asexuality and attraction, including the differences between sexual, romantic, and aesthetic attraction, as well as the glossary of related ace terms. Cody also debunks some common misconceptions, shares how their asexuality journey led them to rethink their gender identity, how polyamory fits into their equation, and provides tips for navigating mixed identity relationships.  For more from today's guest, Cody Daigle-Orians: Follow Cody on Instagram @acedadadvice Follow Cody on Twitter @acedadadvice Follow Cody on TikTok @acedadadvice Buy Cody's book I Am Ace: Advice on Living Your Best Asexual Life Check out Cody's website acedadadvice.com Psst, Courtney has an 0nIyFan$, which is a horny way to support the show: https://linktr.ee/cocopeepshow Courtney is also teaching the writing and publishing intensive of your dreams this July.
