This, dear listener, is the conclusion to Megan's Corona Story. We hope this will assuage some of your fears about what it's like to be a healthy person going through a mild case. As we said before, we don't think hers is the absolute most important story to tell right now, and we don't want to understate the seriousness of Covid19, but we know there are lots of people out there in a similar situation. You're too sick to see a doctor, not sick enough for the ER, left waiting and wondering what will happen. This is one version of what can happen, and we suspect this story will be similar to yours.  One major update that came after we recorded this, though, here's an article that EXPLAINS THE TOILET PAPER THING and, like, okay, it makes sense now and I feel bad for taking it to a Freud place.

Hello my budding sexual Buddhas, how is everybody doing out there? Today, we're bringing you something a little different— we're documenting Megan's experience with what were, most likely, symptoms of the novel coronavirus. Spoiler alert: she's fine, but we think it will be interesting for other people to know what it's like to go through a mild case. In particular, because the news is focusing on the most severe cases, and  rightly so, but still, we think there's room to report on the symptoms and experience of someone who is more like most of our listeners. Someone not in immediate danger, but nevertheless caught up in an unknown illness that has been the subject of so much fear and speculation for what feels like a very long time.  So we're taking you on a day by day play by play of one young woman's experience going through this international crisis and the virus behind it.  Here are some resources you may find useful: Coronavirus Facts & What To Do (CDC) Coping With Mental Illness, Anxiety, & Isolation (NAMI) Coronavirus Relief Fund & Resources Want to Help?

This "episode" is a flight of pure self indulgence on the beardiest host's part. In honor of the spookiest day of the year, Colin reads a slightly creepy story at you atmospherically. It's Sakutaro Hagiwara's Cat Town. In audio form! I hope you like it. There was originally a lot more poetry in this ep, so you're welcome. If you're interested in this author, check out these links. Haruki Murakami wrote his own version of Cat Town, that you can read here. Cool stuff! Kay Bye!    

First, we would like to extend a big thanks to new friend Mistress Prime, from Ravens at the Crossroads, for helping us out with some questions-- allowing us to correct a  few things we got wrong in the first draft of this episode. (Corrections @ 55:23) Second, Marcella is working on several shows at once in New York and we're sending her all our love and support! That also means that it's just Megan & Colin on the pod;  so get ready for some filthy, un-filtered hetero marriage talk.  Finally, the episode itself! What did we learn about Pagan Sex Rituals? Are they real or just the lurid invention of moral panic? Did everyone have a good time at Pagan Pride in LBC?? Tune in to find out!

It shouldn't surprise you, dear listener, that we didn't quite know how to dive into KINK. So we've taken a show-and-tell approach; It's a grab bag o' kinks! Each of us did our homework to tell you about a random kink, one in which each of us has a purely academic interest, I assure you. Marcella talks about Pet Play, Colin brings you Furries (spoiler: it's not a kink. Unless it is) and Megan becomes a Looner right before your ears. So buckle in, stow your judgment, and soar with us over the vast and wild land of kink.  Don't forget to like and subscribe, you cowards :))) twitter.com/remedialsexed  https://instagram.com/remedialsexed/ http://facebook.com/remedialsexpodcast Thumbnail image by Pikawil, licensed under CC by SA 2.0

As a follow up to our book report on The Ethical Slut, we were lucky enough to to do an interview with Krista Niederjohn, polyamory guide and founder of Amourology!

Thanks for staying with us listeners. We'll get back to fun subjects soon, but it's important to talk about this stuff while it's happening.

Oh listener, we wanted to bring you something fun this week, but recent events had us scrambling to change our plans. So we're coming at you with a two parter on Abortion Laws in the United States. Don't tune this one out! It may be a bit of a bummer, but so are most of the things you hear in the news and that's not a good reason to ignore reality. So grab a... something. A beverage, a loved one, a pet, and join us for our discussion about abortion, reproductive rights, and the law. It's not our lightest episode, but one of the most interesting so far. Thanks, in no small part, to our excellent guest star Alix from the Pomegranates and Pitchforks podcast. Alix is a personal friend and an attorney who's done quite a bit of research on the history abortion and TRAP laws. This is a good one folks. As always we invite you to reach out to us on social media. We might regret doing so, but we're making a good faith attempt to start a dialogue about reproductive rights. So if you have any questions, insights, comments, or stories to share; feel free to e-mail us at remedialsexed@gmail.com or talk to us on Twitter and Instagram. 

In our discussion about Joy of Sex we discovered a section titled: "Japanese Style". At first we thought this was just racist nonsense. And it still is, but bondage IS a thing. We wanted to have an honest discussion regarding Japanese attitudes regarding sex and sexuality so we invited our friend Kevin to take us through it! So get ready for Kinbaku, hentai, block prints, tentacles and Madame Butterfly!   Follow us on social meeeds: https://twitter.com/RemedialSexEd https://www.instagram.com/remedialsexed/ https://www.facebook.com/RemedialSexPodcast

Megan's marvelous mother drops by the podcast to tell us how she was able to birth 4 excellent children in an efficient three total pregnancies. Morning sickness, in vitro, and whether or not you should shower before heading to the hospital are all on the table today. Many thanks to Michelle for making this possible. And happy belated mother's day to moms everywhere! Remember, it's not too late to get her a crappy edible arrangement, although a weekly call wouldn't kill you— how long could it take, like half an hour? You don't have half an hour for the person who raised you!?  Remember to leave us a review on iTunes or the podcatcher of your choice. We will shout you out on the pod, and Colin will dust off his poem-writing hat just for you.  Follow us on the Soce Medes: https://twitter.com/RemedialSexEd https://www.instagram.com/remedialsexed/ https://www.facebook.com/RemedialSexPodcast

We get reeeaalll personal in this one, dear listener, so strap it on for a one hour discussion about christian guilt and sex. Marcella and Colin grew up in a christian culture that very much emphasised the importance of saving oneself for marriage, so you can see how there might've been a little bit of tension given how things turned out. Oh well, we're mostly fine now. Mostly. Follow us on the Social Media: https://twitter.com/RemedialSexEd https://www.facebook.com/RemedialSexPodcast/ https://www.instagram.com/remedialsexed/

This one is a double interview! Megan sits down with Presbyterian Youth Minister Matt Cain and Buddhist Center Administrator Melissa Giovale to get some religious perspectives on sex. There's no commentary in this one, we just wanted to hear religious takes on sexuality from the source, without adding in our own dumb opinions. This is the first episode in what we hope becomes an ongoing series about sex and religion. Maybe in the next episode, Megan will let the other two hosts out of the box she keeps them in.   We are looking for more religious perspectives on sex and sexuality, so if you are a religious leader, we would love to have you on the show!

It's a five-way! Round-table discussion that is, of what it means to lose your virginity. We invited a new friend, Zoe, and a current friend, Jerry, to talk about our unique definitions of what constitutes sex and the 'loss of virginity' or if that's even useful as an idea. Join us as we explore the dimensions of what we think sex is, share our stories, and examine what we think society wants to say for us.     Zoe's Charity, Immigrant Families Together: https://immigrantfamiliestogether.com/ https://twitter.com/ImmFamTogether https://www.instagram.com/immfamtogether/ https://www.facebook.com/ImmigrantFamiliesTogether Follow Us on Social Media: https://twitter.com/@RemedialSexEd https://www.instagram.com/remedialsexed/ https://www.facebook.com/RemedialSexPodcast/

Remedial Sex Ed gives you the condom rundown that we never got in middle school. Talking about usage, myths, breakage, sizes, all that jazz. What's an organic condom? We still don't know. They're like an elusive sexual yeti.  Show Notes, trying to be better about these cause I said I'd add them: Safer Sex with Planned Parenthood How to Put On a Condom How to Put On a Condom 2 Third Time's the Charm Sue Johanson (Sex Educator whose TV program taught Colin safe sex)

Welcome to our very first episode. In this one, we discuss consent (Something they definitely didn't teach us in school, why did they skip that!?) with our friend. She volunteers with an organization for LGBTQ Mormons and lead the youth portion of their sexual health talk. This is such an important topic, and we've got a lot to say so settle in with some delicious FRIES and have a listen.

Megan gives us a rundown, a thesis statement if you will, on what we can expect from the upcoming lessons and why she wanted to start this Podcast in the first place.
