There is a lot of misunderstanding surrounding what we do, and who we are. Sometimes, these misconceptions give us a chuckle at our local dungeon, but sometimes, the broad-stroke generalizations may cause confusion, or even alienation. Our communities have history. We have traditions. We have our o…
Camille just got back from an amazing weekend in NYC, which included a day of Alternative Sexuality topics at the Alt Sex NYC conference.
Camille has a few things to say about guns, mass shootings, the social media response, and some other related topics.
Camille talks about some of the stuff that's been going on in her life and how she is dealing with it. The CBT/DBT concept she talks about is called "Radical Acceptance" and it is something that is helping her get through the current stresses in her life.
Camille investigates the old myth about sex and athletic performance. So ... is it better to abstain in preparation for the big event? Or, is pre-competition sex actually beneficial.Congratulations to all the atheletes on their performances in the recent Olympic Games.
It is Valentine's Day and Camille goes on a rant about commercialism, monogamous views of romance, history of Valentine's Day and when it got connected with romance, as well as whether buying love (or giving gifts as a sign of love) is effective to everyone.
Dr Craig Webster of Ball State University talks with Camille about his research into a cornerstone of kink communities everywhere ... our non-play socials.Dr Webster conducted two surveys, one of munch attendees, the second focused on the organizers. His findings will be published in a couple of upcoming articles in Hospitality Management journals.If you would like to read his summaries, when he can post them, they will be available on his FetLife profile:https://fetlife.com/users/5648173
Katharine Gates, author of Deviant Desires, joins Camille to discuss kink theory from the perspective of an anthropologist. We discuss some of the fringe kinks she described in her book, as well as, consent, kink-shaming, and acceptance.More about Katharine can be found on her site www.kinkmap.com, or follow her on Twitter @kinkmap.
Dr Jim Pfaus from Concordia University joins Camille to discuss his research with training rats to have fetishes (both olfactory and somatosensory). His lab's findings are nothing short of astonishing! This is one of Camille's favourite pieces of sexuality research.My apologies that this was late in arriving in your podcast players. We had no end to the technology problems in getting this out to you. Oh, and I an sure that that is Pavlov's dog in the background! *wink*
Let's talk about emotions. What are they? What causes them? What can we do when they get out of hand? In particular, we will talk about some of the "icky" emotions that are sometimes associated with alternative sexuality, including the one that this program aims to reduce ... shame.
Alex Andrews, co-founder of SWOP Behind Bars joins Camille to discuss Incarcerated Sex Workers and what we (yes, all of us) can do to help them transition back into the community.SWOP Behind Bars is a US-based sex worker rights advocacy organization that assists incarcerated sex workers. Their website is http://www.swopbehindbars.org
Dr Ryan Scoats joins Camille to talk about his research into threesomes and the apparent erosion of the one-time rule of homosexuality.Audio file replaced due to internet glitchiness. For more details visit http://www.stereo-typed/com/episode46
Dr Kate Lister joins Camille to discuss the Victorians based on her research. We discuss some of the social changes that occurred during Queen Victoria's reign, as well as some of those myths that we have come to believe about her subjects.A warning: there are a lot of cunts in this episode. #TeamCunthttp://www.stereo-typed.com/episode45/
Dominik McMaster (WhiteTigerPrime) joins Camille to discuss how to become a Domly Dom ... and his new book dedicated to training the next generation of Dominants
Jerry Barnett, author of Porn Panic, joins Camille to discuss the UK's new laws censoring internet pornography, as well as the current trend of silencing those with different, potentially offensive, views.http://www.stereo-typed.com/episode43/
Dr Jill McCracken joins Camille to talk about Human Trafficking and Sex Work. There is a vast difference between the two and conflating the terms is doing a disservice to victims of all forms of trafficking, as well as those who make the conscious decision to enter the sex trade.For more information, visit http://www.stereo-typed.com/episode42
When you think of BDSM, what words initially come to mind? Control? Restraint? Pain and pleasure?Sure, BDSM is all of these things (or can be, depending on how you roll), but it can also be so much more. Empowering, spiritual, confidence-building.To continue from last week (Female Orgasms and Empowerment), I will be talking to Veronica from Desires Laid Bare about discovering the power that kink can awaken within ourselves. And how growth in our kink sexuality can also be growth in all aspects of our lives.Oh, and we will be talking about Desires Laid Bare, which is a new membership experience for those who are brand-spanking new and curious, as well as those who have been around for a while but understand that there is always something new to learn about kink and ourselves.For links to Desires Laid Bare and Veronica Yanhs, visit:http://www.tpok.network/podcast/st-41/
Eyal Matsliah from IntimatePower.com spoke with Camille about Unleashing your Orgasms to harness the sexual power in all aspects of your life.http://www.stereo-typed.com/episode40/
Dr Sharon Lamb joins Camille to discuss S.E.C.S-C., an ethics-based sexual education curriculum for Grades 8-10.We will discuss why an ethics-based approach is needed, the limitation and inaccuracies of Abstinence-Only and Abstinence Plus curricula, and some of the areas that are addressed in the curriculum that will help prepare our future adults for Democratic Citizenship.
In this episode, Camille is joined by Sue Storm. We will be discussing several topics that have something in common ... the motivation of the participants determine whether we are talking about healthy ethical kink, or abuse (and sometimes self-abuse).We talk of humiliation play, topping from the bottom, gaslighting and psychopaths.For more details and Sue's biographical information, visit:http://www.stereo-typed.com/ep38
In the last combined episode of Stereo-Typed and Fetish Philes, I talk with PreacherBear (host of The 3rd Rail) about what being a Daddy means to him and his Pixie. We also discuss the psychological barriers he had to overcome to get to this point in their relationship.Fetish Philes is now its own show! Subscribe on iTunes. The first solo episode is scheduled for October 20th (and new episodes will be posted every other week).https://itunes.apple.com/ca/podcast/stereo-typeds-fetish-philes/id1291705138
Yes, I know. It is not a word ... yet ... but we all do it. I'll touch on Objectification, Subjectivity, and what I have coined as Adjectification.Tonight's show is 1 part rant, 1 part Alt-Write (Grammar Nazi), and 1 part research papers - as in, I share a couple.If you listened to PreacherBear and BearsPixie on Sunday, you heard BrotherBear talk about asexual - his understanding of the meaning of the word.He is not wrong. He is also not entirely correct (Sorry Bro!)This episode is Bear's fault.You can find links to the studies I reference at:http://www.tpok.network/podcasts/st-36/

After a short stay (2 weeks) in the psych ward, Camille is home and feeling much better than she has in some time.In this episode, she is going to talk about a topic that isn't sexy, but it is something that we all deal with at some point in our lives. In her experience, there seems to be a lot of people who identify with alternative sexuality that struggle with it.Anxiety!We will discuss the following:- what is anxiety?- is it natural?- what causes it?- is it dangerous?- how is it different than panic?- and, how can we handle it when a bout of anxiety comes on?Camille will also share a couple of exercises that can be used when feeling anxious or tense (due to stress).Anxiety can be a horrible experience, however, when it is managed well, it can be an interesting and exciting aspect to psychological/fear play (a form of edge play). People who choose to play in this arena need to be aware of their experiences and using one of the techniques shared in this episode as a part of your after care can assist in staving off the unwelcome aspects of anxiety.http://www.tpok.network/podcast/st-35http://www.innerhealthstudio.com/
Dr Courtney Plante is back to talk about Furries! This time around, Camille and Courtney will be talking about what it's like to be a part of a large fandom community, such as the Furry Fandom. We mainly discuss furries, but we do touch on other fandoms as well. And, since Nuka is a "large blue cat in a lab coat", some of the science of fandoms made its way into this interview as well.Thank you, again, to Dr Plante for coming back on the show to discuss the fascinating world of furries.A reminder: everyone's experience is personal. So your mileage may vary. If you happen to be one of the furries who does consider it a fetish (or kink), I would love to chat with you about your experiences.And, if you participate in any other form of sexuality or sexual interest that has not been covered (or your experience has been greatly different than what has been covered on the show), I welcome your input. Get in touch with me and we can schedule an interview to document your experiences with fetishes and philias.
AuntieSocial is still on auditory restrictions, which means no guest.This week, she talks about her thoughts about "emotional fidelity" as a relationship expectation, attraction and the control we have over our emotions and (re)actions.As a polyamorous person, she admits to having a certain bias on this subject.
AuntieSocial is back ... sort of. For the next while, the format of Stereo-Typed will be shorter and lonelier! Camille will be sans guests, but will try her best to find interesting sex research to you on a weekly basis. Auntie has been put on some auditory restrictions due to her BPPV affliction (and the treatment thereof). Once she has the all-clear from those medical professional types, she'll be back with hour-long interviews.
Malebranche joined Camille to discuss the roots, history and reality of the Gorean Lifestyle and philosophy.This is a joint episode - Stereo-Typed #31 & Fetish Philes #4
Non-sexual touch is a human need. Many people are starved for touch and affection. If you don't have food in your cupboard, you go to a restaurant, right? Well, why not hire a professional for your cuddling needs?Tonight, we talk to Adam Lippin, Co-Founder and CEO of Cuddlist.comFor more details, visit http://www.stereo-typed.com/episode30/Support Stereo-Typed by becoming a member of the Sugar Daddy Collective http://www.patreon.com/stereotyped/
AuntieSocial and her hubby are celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary. It hasn't always been wedded bliss, especially when it comes to their sex lives together. In this episode, she recounts some of her past interviews, looks at some research (there is always research), and shares her personal experiences (there is a lot of sharing) with overcoming sexual incompatibility. Having mismatched sex drives and desires need not be the end of a long-term relationship. Links to the articles, studies, and full episodes can be found at http://www.stereo-typed.com/episode29/
"MrRedWing" joins Camille to talk about one of his loves, menophilia. This is the love of menstrual blood and is still an activity that is quite taboo in our culture (and many cultures around the world). In fact, some religions don't just consider menstruation as dirty, but they believe that the woman herself is dirty and in need of ritual cleansing after her period.For more information about menophilia and the roots of this taboo, visit http://www.stereo-typed.com/episode28/ or http://www.stereo-typed.com/fetish3/
Dr David Ley joins Camille to discuss Consensual or Conemporary Cuckoldry. Our conversation goes into his research into this nonmonogamous subculture, as detailed in his 2009 book, Insatiable Wives.We also discuss sexual shame and his YouTube series #NoMoreSexualShame, which shares a goal with Stereo-Typed, to reduce the stigma surrounding sexuality.The Internet Deities, Trump, or possibly Russia didn't want us talking about these topics, so we kept having connectivity issues. Fortunately, I was able to pull the conversation together anyways! My apologies to those who downloaded the episode before I could replace it.For more details about Dr Ley, the topic, and a link to the YouTube series, please visit http://www.stereo-typed.com/episode27/
Simon Dubé, a master candidate at Concordia University and the lead investigator of a BDSM study in Dr James G.

Is romantic love a biological function brought on by millennia of evolutionary change? Or, is it a product of social construction? Maybe it is a bit of both?
