In today's episode, we're diving into "A Dirty Word: How a Sex Writer Reclaimed Her Sexuality" by Steph Auteri. This captivating memoir, published in 2018 by Cleis Press, delves into the cultural perception of female sexuality as a dirty word. Steph, a writer and editor, shares her journey of becoming a sex writer to overcome her own sexual dysfunction and discovering that she wasn't broken to begin with. Throughout the book, she tackles various themes like sexual health, body image, and the pathologization of female sexuality. Join us as we explore the importance of adult sex education and why this book is a valuable resource for readers of all backgrounds.

"Love is a combination of care, commitment, knowledge, responsibility, respect and trust." — bell hooks Hands on our knees, back on our THOT SH*T! The Thotful Moment is where we have THOughT provoking conversations about topics that have impacted our life. This week, J & Lesly are joined today with an old friend who has taught us so much about social justice and just an all around amazing person, DIANE BURKHOLDER! Diane has done work around sexual health, anti-racism work, movement for black lives and the list goes on and on. This episode is inspired by all the cheating drama going on with Adam Levine and the Try-Guys. We do not care about these white boys but we definitely wanted to talk about CHEATING and what comes along with it. We cover why do people cheat, is it wrong to look thru your partner's phone and can you ever really trust someone? Diane also suggested some good places: Buy some cute gay plants (Plantiitas); Queer, Indigenous, Chicana tiendita/store (Adelitas Revenge); BOOKS (The Will to Change: Men, Masculinity, and Love by bell hooks, The Ultimate Guide to Seduction and Foreplay: Techniques and Strategies for Mind-Blowing Sex by Marla Renee Stewart); Podcasts (Esther Perel, Sex with Dr. Jess); Workshops (Luna Matatas, Afrosexology).

Sherry and Carla start with a Love Fix question from a listener wanting to know when the right time is to get a therapist, which leads to a discussion on the important things to note before jumping into couples therapy. They then welcome Rafaella Fiallo, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Sexual Liberation Activist, Educator, and Therapist specializing in relationship, sex, and trauma therapy. Rafaella owns a therapy private practice, Healing Exchange LLC, and co-founded Afrosexology, a sex-positive pleasure-based sexuality education business. Rafaella talks about her guide to Sexual Self-Care, and group for Trauma Survivors, which is basically a sex-ed class with a trauma-informed lens to let people know they can take up space, in whatever sexual way feels good to them.   Want to work with Sherry and Carla together?

Otherwise, you're just wasting your time.  Rafaella talks about what being sex-positive means to her.  Labels can be liberating, or they can be limiting.  How can a toxic relationship and even just trauma or stress affect our sex life?  We have stress and trauma every day, and then we can have it from childhood, PTSD, and other experiences that are going to trickle into our intimacy, our relationship, and just our overall body response.  Check out Rafaella's guide to sexual self-care and community, along with how to work with Sherry and Carla on overcoming codependency, dating, break-ups, healing from toxic relationships, and gaining confidence. You don't have to have sexual trauma, you don't even have to have a big trauma. If you've just been under stress and duress and oppression like we all are, that can absolutely have an impact on different facets of our life and lived experience, especially our sexual one. How can we support consent culture and boundaries as a community?  Why is victim blaming so prevalent, and what can we do about it?  Rafaella discusses how our body and nervous system can confuse excitement for fear.    Disclaimer: The Love Fix Podcast content has been made available for informational, entertainment, and educational purposes only.

We don't go into any graphic detail, but rather focus on coping strategies for healing and guidance to partners and friends or family who want to support someone they love.

What if the euphoric bliss from an orgasm was captured in other moments of your daily life? Whether you’re eating a meal or spending time outside, prioritizing sensuality helps you start to experience what today’s guests like to call “orgasmic living.” I’m joined by the creators of Afrosexology, Dalychia Saah and Rafaella Fiallo who join me to discuss the power of this life-changing concept. Their mission is to empower, educate and explore Black sexuality and self-improvement through sexual liberation. We discuss their journey into creating Afrosexology, the importance of embodiment, the power of centering pleasure and being intentional in the present moment. We also demystify different aspects of kink, polyamory, and compersion, so that you can see if any of these are things you’d want to add to your sex life. Plus, we answer your questions about prioritizing your pleasure as much as your partner’s and feeling more connected during and after sexual experiences.

It's one thing to speak of what isn't working our lives--to point out and extricate the factors that make sexuality an adverse experience for us. What does life look like, however, once those destructive factors are removed? You may know what you DON'T want...from there though, the opportunity emerges for you to determine and connect with what you do! In this episode of the show, Dr. G chats with educator and self-proclaimed dreamer Dalychia Saah, co-founder of the wildly-popular sex ed resource Afrosexology. Dalychia shares how her dreams have gotten her closer to self-love and liberation, and provides tips on how emancipatory principles in sex ed can be applied to all areas our lives, including those outside of the bedroom.

Welcome back my lovers. How are y'all holding up? Firstly, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. It has been amazing to host the last two seasons and I am beyond ecstatic that we are back for another one. To kick things off, Julia from @soihadanabortion takes the reins in a flipping of the script. I got to experience what it's like relinquishing control and being in the hot seat. Julia has me blabbing about the origins of the podcast, as well as its current process. She asks me poignant questions about the lessons I've learned, in this space we've created, and how they highlight where we are at as a society. We then move on to the AMA questions that you submitted! Topics: avoidance, cognitive dissonance, survival, generational patterns, being called in/out, learning as a process of elimination, certainty as the basis for oppression, accountability, non-monogamy, learning about the kink community while entering it, kink anxiety, bullying, the evolution of my understandings of sex from childhood to now, every experience having inherent value, masturbation, world change, activism, anti-racism and other slippery rabbit holes. Here are some Black sex-positive advocates you should be following (as promised in the episode) : Ericka Hart, M. Ed @ihartericka, Ev’Yan Whitney. @evyan.whitney, Ashley Cobb @sexwithashley, Afrosexology @afrosexology_, Goody Howard @askgoody, Unf*ck Your Polyamory @polyrolemodels, Cindy Lee Alves @cindyleealves. Vagesteem @vagesteem, Jimanekia Eborn, MS @jimanekia, Javay Frye @javaydabae and so many more! Plug: Cicely Blain and Ji-Youn Kim's Processing Rage Workshop and the Stratagem Virtual Conference. Thanks again my loves. It feels weird releasing an "about me" episode in these times, but the battle continues and will always be an intersectional fight. I hope some of the insights in here are valuable and that we remember this work is only possible today thanks to Marsha P. Johnson and other black trans activists.

One that encourages self agency & promotes love in regards to our bodies, relationships, and sexualities. One that liberates us from the sexual shame & policing that we've inherited from generations of sexual & body oppression. One that follows in the tradition of Black sexual politics by seeking to rediscover & reclaim our sexuality. Our mission is to educate, explore, and reclaim Black sexuality.  Our vision is to promote Black self empowerment through sexual liberation.

Rafaella Fiallo is a clinical social worker and relationship, sex and trauma therapist. The duo recently visited MU to lead a self-love workshop.

Pleasure can be complicated, hunger can feel like a betrayal, but our bodies were built for pleasure and it's time for you to reconnect with what it means to feel good, to prioritize what brings you delight and joy, and to unpack the old stories that keep you stuck in shame and guilt. My new online course, Power in Pleasure: Reconnecting with Your Hunger, Desire, and Joy, will start enrolling soon, so join the notification list now and get first dibs on the course. Listener questions on destroying a pussy, pleasure, and book lists. Brett Kavanaugh was confirmed for the Supreme Court the day I recorded this, so we start there. Howard Zinn's op-ed from 2005 speaks loudly to where we are today. And I read Monica Raye Simpson's letter to SisterSong followers today because it is more eloquent than anything I could say. "I have seen people talk about taking the country back, but as Black women we know this country and this government were never meant to serve or respect or protect us. We have to protect ourselves. And that is what we have always done and will continue to do." Monica Raye Simpson PainJane wants to destroy her pussy. She wants to make it unusable, to be used as a beer coozy, to be fisted, to be destroyed. She's worried her partner will think it's disgusting or weird, so how can she tell her partner about this fantasy and maybe even act it out? I enlisted a bunch of other sex educators to help me answer this terrific question. Sunny Megatron has some fantastic advice and lots of questions that can help PainJane and all of us investigate the "why" of our fantasies and the feelings of them that make it easier to talk to partners about our fantasies. Such good stuff. Anonymous wrote in because she's super new to sex positivity. She's looking for books and blogs that can help her learn more about sexuality, sex positivity, and unpacking her evangelical roots. So, I'm putting together an official book list. Join the Sex Gets Real newsletter here to get that recommended book list from me in a few weeks. Also, avoid educators and "experts" who position themselves as the expert in your body, your story, or sell One True Way to be sexual, woke, or kinky. Kat loves the show and wants more access to the resources I mention. Discouraged is struggling to find a hookup. She's a lesbian who wants to try kink, but every time she suggests meeting up with someone, they disappear. What gives? Is there a secret code word she doesn't know about? Celia wants to know how pleasure is political. Oh boy. HOLD ON. We're going for a ride on my passionate soapbox. Everyone should start with reading Audre Lorde - any of her work around The Erotic is crucial. Afrosexology and Feminista Jones are also terrific resources.
