Just throwing the compliments at you this morning. Yeah. Well, IT'S A. It's a weird time of the year because for most entrepreneurs and students and parents this feels like a new. Year. Yeah I usually struggle leading up to the day after Labor Day because it reminds me of going back to school which was a long time ago. and all of these sorts of feels right now. Yeah and for folks who go back to school at a different time of year in in. Toronto we've always gone back to school the day after Labor Day it's always been the way it is, and of course, this year is different because some kids aren't going back to school. Some are doing a blended hybrid type learning some have been postponed until next week because I guess the government's in the school boards couldn't agree on what would be safe for staff and students, and I would say about fifty fifty percent I'd say fifty fifty in terms of our friends. in terms of sending their kids back to school or keeping their kids at home. Yet and I mean, maybe people are gonNA. Think I'm a lot younger than I am now that I said that I'm nostalgic about going to school no no, one thinks here. Yeah. Thanks. Before we dive in today, I want to say a big. Thank you to Provo Care, which is a natural way to restore the healthy bacteria and normal Ph level required for a balanced vaginal ecosystem, and so it perfectly has been clinically proven to treat and prevent recurring yeast and bacterial infections, and you can check them out online provo care dot. Ca and you can I believe you can find them on Amazon as well. Now today, we're talking a whole lot of things. You're talking sex work online stripping, which to me feels very intimidating but I'm interested to learn more the porn and Industry Sti testing maybe some strap on sex. How about that sounds like a whole lot of interesting stuff and yes online stripping sounds like something that I would not be very good at would you strip for me? I would but I'm super conscious. I feel I feel ridiculous listen I can dance to the base not the trouble,

Andre Shakti lives life with intention.  She’s not afraid to try new things, to be the first, to get knocked down because, 100% for sure, she will get back up again.  There was a massive amount of energy not only in the story of her life, but in Andre’s way of being.  It was refreshing to talk to someone so hungry for life and adventure.  This queen truly plays by her own rules while finding ways to include and uplift her surrounding community.  Andre is an at home Dominatrix, a master at wrestling porn and the Queen B behind Sanctuary Virtual Strip Club online.  Wake up, drink your coffee and feel energized by this amazing stripper!

Andre Shakti is a journalist, educator, performer, activist and professional slut living in the San Francisco Bay area. She is devoted to normalizing alternative desires, destigmatizing sex workers and their clients, and not taking herself too seriously. Andre wrestles mediocre white men into submission and writes about sex work, queerness, and non-monogamy for Cosmopolitan, Rewire, Thrillist, MEL, Vice, Autostraddle, and more. She can be frequently found marathoning Law & Order: SVU under a chaotic pile of partners and pitbulls, and yes, she understands how problematic that show is. Andre is the reigning "polyamory pundit" at her non-monogamy advice column "I Am Poly & So Can You!" which you can visit - and submit questions to! She's passionate about social justice, self expression, democracy, sex positivity, fitness, kindness to animals, the LGBT Community and the issues that impact it. Andre kicks off the show by telling a story of a former job she had that allowed her the freedom to do both jobs. She also gets into confidence, and how pivotal it can be in many situations. Alexa and Andre discuss “unconventional” work, and the stigma that surrounds it. They also discuss fear, and how many people are living happily, fulfilled and accomplished lives while leading lives that others may deem “unorthodox”. Alexa explains how she and Andre became acquainted and what piece of writing drew her to wanting to get Andre on the show. She talks about having “daddy issues” and how embracing them has actually made a much bigger impact on her life and career than avoiding them has. The discussion moves into the direction of dungeons, kinks and fetishes, the void that exists in some places, and what it all means. Andre also explains polygamy and describes her relationships. The uncut discussion continues to wind in and flow into topics like sex positive education and life experiences, Andre moving to the deep south, and fisting. To finish off, Alexa and Andre express their deep gratitude for one another and close out the show. Quotes: “If people see you're not ashamed of something, it puts the ball in your court, it puts you in power.” “Fear is the unknown” “Every windfall that you've gotten, you didn't see it coming” “You have to have each others back regardless of color, creed or orientation” Links www.IAmPoly.net

Netflix’s GLOW missed one gorgeous lady of wrestling: Andre Shakti! Maybe it’s because she does her wrestling for a very different kind of broadcast. Yes!

Literally, every pledge sends me into an excited squeal of delight. patreon.com/sgrpodcast This week it's just you and me, working our way through some rad listener questions. It starts with some listener love from an episode I did around the election last year. Sometimes I feel a little nervous to share political stuff - like the oppression episode and the abortion episode, but I trust you to hold space even if we disagree. I will be having a vendor booth at the Vancouver Dyke March. YAY! Of course, I got love for Amarna Miller's interview in Episode 168 and Ruby Bouie Johnson's polyamory chat on Episode 166. Gavin appreciated Amarna's views on ethical porn and her deliberate choice to share herself on film. Me, too! It's so frustrating to me that we still need to constantly prove to the world that sex workers are people with agency and complex stories. But, I'm grateful it means I get to connect with amazing folks like Amarna and Andre Shakti and Kitty Stryker and Conner Habib... Michelle wanted to know about the fat-friendly wedge pillow I mentioned a few years back. That was the Liberator wedge and I highly recommend it. Jes wrote in with feelings she had about my Orgasmic Meditation episode. Let's make sure we all move into spaces that combine sex with other things like money or spirituality with an open mind and also a healthy dose of skepticism. Abuse is SO easy in these spaces because we're all moving through so much shame. T.S. is struggling with a lot of anger and big feelings. Her friend's dad just cheated on her friend's mom and she doesn't understand why. How can she support her friend and her friend's mom and how can she process her feelings about it? Why do people cheat? I have lots of thoughts, and explore so many of the reasons people might cheat and why it doesn't mean a lack of love, even if it does mean lots of pain and hurt. Ethan gets aroused by screenprinting on t-shirts and clothing. He wonders is this a fetish that others have? Where can he learn more? It's not a fetish, per se, but he gets very turned on by the look and smell and even taste of screenprinted letters. I weigh in. Zak needs help. His wife hates his cum and he wants her to love it. How can he get her to open up to the idea? Also, why doesn't she have any fantasies? I have big thoughts about "making" someone like anything. Instead, how can we create relationships full of openness, vulnerability, and curiosity, so that we can share our desires without feeling judged or like we have to force other people to change? Shout out to Wendy Strgar for developing fantasies. Miss B is worried about the age difference between her and her new partner. They're having AMAZING sex and they're in love, but will there come a time when the age becomes a problem?  Follow Sex Gets Real on Twitter and Facebook. It's true. Oh! And Dawn is on Instagram.

Non-monogamy is riding a wave. Recently CNN had a positive article about the fact that more and more young people are choosing some flavor non-monogamy over traditional relationship forms. Awareness continues to grow exponentially, but with that comes the desperate need for a place to go to ask questions. Like us, our guest, the polyamory pundit Andre Shakti has submitted herself to the often scary world of giving advice. Her new advice column "I Am Poly & So Can You" seeks to temper that awareness with education and advice, and help guide people on their paths to relationship fluidity. She joins the panel with Dirty Lola, Dylan Thomas, and Cooper S. Beckett.   Help us find our Best in Show!

If you missed the Explore More Summit, you can still grab all of the talks for as little as $1.20 each plus loads of bonus materials. This weekend I am in San Francisco attending Madison Young's Erotic Film School. I'm learning how to make porn. YAY! If you want to see some of the behind the scenes pictures and videos of Andre Shakti and James Darling, all Patreon supporters at $1 or more will have access. It was fun to be the director and to actually see ethical porn being made in this rich, collaborative space. I also field listener emails this week since I'm on the road. First, a listener wants to share his experience watching trans and pegging porn after Lauren from last week's episode shared her concerns around porn. Then, Mona wants help shopping for some kegel exercisers. What's best? Dawn shares a story of her ben wa balls gone wrong. Scarlett Grace has a friend that she used to play with sexually with her husband, but Scarlett's friend is now super promiscuous and Scarlett doesn't want to have sex with her friend anymore. How can she tell her friend she's worried about her safety and why she doesn't want to play anymore?  Delilah wrote in because she's in her first lesbian relationship and she wants tricks for making her girlfriend happy. So, how do you learn lesbian sex? What tricks and tips do I have? Long-time listeners will already know my answer to this. At a minimum, be sure to check out Allison Moon's, "Girl Sex 101" book. Ben is young and in love, but he and his girlfriend don't have much in common and he wants to have loads more sexual experiences. What should he do?  Finally, Leah wants to know - how do polyamorous folks avoid town gossips and people talking about their affairs? I have lots of thoughts because there are so many possible situations to navigate. Also, check out Franklin Veaux's "More Than Two" or Tristan Taormino's "Opening Up" for more information on living in a non-monogamous situation. Follow Sex Gets Real on Twitter and Facebook. It's true. Oh! And Dawn is on Instagram. About Dawn Serra Sex is a social skill. I speak it. I write it. I teach it. I help you learn how to develop it.

So, what are we talking about this week? Mike ALWAYS gives his wife an orgasm and the last three times they've had sex, she hasn't cum. Will it happen again? What can he do? Deb is a bottom but her husband wants her to top him sometimes. Can she find a way to enjoy being dominant? Ali wants more information on how people become strippers. I'm not a sex worker, so I can't speak to this, but I do reflect on some previous conversations with folks like Andre Shakti, Madison Young, Kitty Stryker. Big Vulva wrote in about how she feels about the way her labia look and it's wonderful. Plus, I get called out for an ageist comment, someone wants to know how common CFNM fantasties are, Mary wonders about whether anal sex will ever feel good for her, and can a porn addict husband be trusted to watch porn with his wife?

This week's chat is one of my favorites. Andre Shakti is an absolute delight. The first time I saw her in person at Sex Down South last year, I was in complete awe. She is this vibrant, powerful force to be reckoned with, and when she said she'd come on the show I was completely tickled. We dive into sex work, fetish wrestling, porn, and more. One of the things she mentions during our chat is how we do not have any resources in the world on how to be a good consumer of sex work or of porn. She draws an parallel between Julia Roberts and porn performers that is fantastic. Plus, we talk about the importance of letting go of goals in sex and instead, getting to know your body and celebrating what it's capable of, instead of obsessing over what you wish it could do.  Psst...did you know you can follow Sex Gets Real on Twitter and Facebook? It's true. Oh! And Dawn is on Instagram.

We discovered tonight's guest Andre Shakti after seeing her in the wonderful adult film Marriage 2.0, naturally smitten, we followed that internet rabbit hole down and discovered her site and the other work she's done. We immediately wanted to have her on the Swingset to talk about a subject we've talked around but never directly about, live porn and web camming, and as it's arguably the thing that has changed porn most over the last decade.
