Sam Rose is joined by artist and advocate, Julia Alora, who shares a brilliant essay on asexuality before digging deep into asexual history, how patriarchy impacts the ace community, and what we can all do to support asexual or questioning family and youth.Julia Alora (she/they) is a Portland-based sculptress creating biologically influenced sculptures out of recycled materials. Born and raised in the wilds of upstate NY, her love of the natural world drives her to find beauty in everything, at times expressing this through sharp, fierce grotesqueries, or smooth, living visions of steel and glass. Her creations hearken to the viewers to consider their connection to nature, their responsibilities to the world and to others. She incorporates ethically-sourced bone, junkyard steel, dumpster treasures, and other found objects, into lovingly made monsters and figures.

As reinforcements arrive and the battle takes a turn in the enemy's favour, the Tall Girls and their allies bring out the big guns. And one house-bound ally is forced to reveal themselves... Toz is on fire this fight. Raina rides the wind. Delphi melts through a man. Morgan maybe does a murder.

This week I get to sit down with comic creator, journalist, zine maker extraordinaire that is Caitlin Cook. Better known as Cooklin online I've been following her work a long while after discovering her comics about depression and then getting an insight into Asexuality through her other work. Not one to shy away from the harder topics and with a great sense of humour and story telling I thought she'd be a great person to catch up with.We sit down to talk varied backgrounds of artists and how that comes into play when you create and market your work but also how that helps balance your own expectations of what can be achieved. Caitlin has a storied background in media and news and had a book coming out in the near term dealing in memoirs and sexuality so I highly recommend checking her out and giving her a follow to find out more!Find Cooklin at:https://www.instagram.com/cooklin_comics/https://microcosmpublishing.com/catalog/artist/cooklinhttps://www.etsy.com/shop/CooklinComicsStorehttps://linktr.ee/cooklinhttps://sites.google.com/view/cooklincomicsThe show is available on:Ituneshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/yelling-at-concrete/id1238765054Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/3T2OhYE07edgaBDXrm86saAcasthttps://shows.acast.com/yellingatconcreteSupport us onhttps://www.patreon.com/yellingatconcreteIf you'd like to support at all there is a patreon and I have the goal of finding 38 members by the end of the year to make the show fully funded in terms of the running costs!

After somewhat of a second public coming out, Anney offers some basics about asexuality, and discusses some of the biggest misconceptions around it in this classic episode.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Part 1 Ace by Angela Chen Summary"Ace: What Asexuality Reveals About Desire, Society, and the Meaning of Sex" by Angela Chen is a groundbreaking exploration of asexuality and its implications on broader societal understandings of sexuality. In this book, Chen provides an intimate glimpse into the lives and experiences of asexual individuals while also dissecting the cultural narratives surrounding sex and desire. Key Themes and Insights: Defining Asexuality: Chen starts by defining asexuality as a sexual orientation characterized by a lack of sexual attraction towards others. She explains that asexuality exists on a spectrum and includes a range of experiences, including those who may engage in sex for various reasons despite not feeling sexual attraction.Cultural Context: The book examines the societal pressures and expectations surrounding sexual relationships, arguing that our culture often equates self-worth with sexual desirability. Chen discusses how these norms can marginalize asexual individuals and leads to misconceptions about their identities.Personal Narratives: Throughout the book, Chen weaves personal stories and interviews from members of the asexual community. These narratives highlight the complexities of navigating relationships, intimacy, and societal expectations as an asexual person. Intersectionality: Chen addresses how asexuality intersects with other identities, including gender, race, and mental health. She emphasizes that asexual individuals face unique challenges that can be compounded by other aspects of their identity.Redefining Desire: The author challenges traditional definitions of desire and intimacy, exploring how non-sexual forms of intimacy can be just as valid and fulfilling. "Ace" promotes a broader understanding of what sexual and romantic relationships can look like beyond conventional frameworks.Community and Belonging: Chen discusses the importance of community and belonging within the asexual population. She emphasizes the significance of finding spaces where asexual individuals can share their experiences and foster connections without the weight of societal expectations.Implications for Society: Finally, the book poses essential questions about the meaning of sex in society and how acknowledging diverse sexual orientations can lead to greater acceptance and understanding of human relationships. Chen argues for a reexamination of our cultural values regarding sex and intimacy.In summary, "Ace" not only serves as an informative resource on asexuality but also challenges readers to rethink preconceived notions about desire, intimacy, and the spectrum of human sexuality. It invites a broader conversation about acceptance and representation in a world where sexual relationships are often prioritized.Part 2 Ace AuthorAngela Chen is a prominent writer and advocate for asexuality, best known for her book "Ace: What Asexuality Reveals About Desire, Society, and the Meaning of Sex," which was released on September 10, 2020. This book explores the concept of asexuality and its implications on broader discussions of desire and sexuality in society. Chen's work is noted for its insightful analysis and personal anecdotes, helping to raise awareness and understanding of asexuality.Part 3 Ace ChaptersTheme: The overall theme of "Ace" by Angela Chen revolves around the understanding of asexuality and the normalization of diverse sexual orientations. The book advocates for the visibility of asexual people and explores the complexities of intimacy, relationships, and identity beyond traditional narratives of sexuality. It emphasizes the importance of communication and understanding within romantic relationships, while also celebrating asexuality as a valid and real experience.

Overview In the podcast interview featuring Katie Allen, a specialist inclusion coach and advocate, the discussion begins with a light-hearted opening about different methods of hanging socks, which serves as an illustrative metaphor for varying perspectives on inclusion. Katie shares her transformative journey into the realm of inclusion, emphasizing that understanding diverse experiences is essential and that binary thinking can be limiting. She advocates for practical approaches that encourage open conversations about sensitive topics like racism and sexism, stressing the importance of personal accountability and vulnerability in leadership. Through sharing her own experiences as a pan-romantic asexual, she highlights the often-overlooked aspects of sexual orientation in inclusion efforts. The conversation concludes with actionable steps for fostering inclusive environments, such as seeking feedback from teams, incorporating inclusive practices like closed captions, and reframing language to enhance engagement and cooperation. Overall, the interview serves as a thought-provoking exploration of strategies to create more inclusive spaces that benefit everyone.

TW: Sex, Sexual Experience, Aphobia are discussed SA is lightly alluded to in regards to consent.Today we discuss experiences within asexuality and how sometimes they don't go the way you were planning or hoped for as well as the fact that every body is different and there isn't one way to be asexual and so you shouldn't compare yourself with others as difficult as that may be.

How do you order your "temple"? Through honest stories and practical insight, Andrew and Marco explore how temperance orders our passions, with the goal of living in greater freedom and integrity. Andrew discusses how asexuality, often viewed as a neutral stance, is an enemy of temperance as it disconnects us from the full reality of our embodied humanity. True peace with our bodies and sexual desires isn't about suppression, but integration. It's about becoming more fully human.

In this episode, Tracey and Kelsey discuss these three anonymous questions:1) I've just started seeing a guy who is really into giving ‘facials.' I've done it before, and don't honestly mind, but what's the psychology behind it? Why do so many guys like doing it, and is it degrading to agree?2) I've only ever had an orgasm once without a vibrator, and that was after a long sex session with me on top. I'd like to start masturbating without vibration, but I can orgasm within seconds using my bullet vibe, and it feels like it's going to take hours using my fingers. After a bit, I give in and reach for the vibrator. Any hints on how to stick with it?3) Is it normal to have never felt sexual desire? I am a 23-year-old man and have never had a girlfriend and never masturbated. I watched porn once out of curiosity, but it didn't make me aroused in any way. I don't have any issue with sex and am not aware of any trauma in my childhood. I like women as friends, but just don't have any desire to have sex with them. I'm not attracted to men, either. I've read about asexuality, and I'm guessing that's me, though am wondering if there's any research on whether this might change as I get older.To have Tracey and Kelsey discuss YOUR secret sex question, enter it anonymously at https://bit.ly/3C4AelUWant a copy of Tracey's book, Great Sex Starts at 50?

Synopsis for sections covered by CWs: Delphi and Toz come across a group of warforged (who prefer the term forgeborn) protesting for equal rights outside the town hall. They were made by wizards at the university (whom they don't see as parents) and although they have sentience, are not seen as fully 'alive' by some in power. Toz speaks to the media rep Lunaris, who gives her a pamphlet about their movement. They confirm that Hugo Munerin has been involved. Later, when the party reunite, Toz and Morgan explain the forgeborn's plight to Raina and Delphi, and Morgan reads the pamphlet, noting that the movement has become more developed since she was last here.

It's Valentine's Day! A day full of overpriced chocolates, high expectations, and focus on how much sex you're going to have. So what about those who have no interest in it? 'Ace' is an umbrella term used to describe people who experience little, fluctuating, or no sexual attraction. There are also aromantic people - who experience little to no romantic attraction. Asexuality is often widely misunderstood, including within the LGBTQ+ community. Asexual people are also not recognised in legislation, such as under the UK Equality Act, and Stonewall found asexual people may be at a higher risk of conversion therapy than gay, lesbian and bi individuals. But when asexual activists take to the media to raise these issues, they are met with a chorus of criticism, ignorance, and insults: they're vying for victimhood, or they're offered the enlightening advice to simply "get laid". Here to help us understand why exactly the media are so angry is Yasmin Benoit, model, academic and activist.

 Because of Physical issues and Psychology issues.1.) Low libido.When having a menopausal problem,- the females have a lack of sex hormones or a dry vagina. In these cases, they have pain when they have sex… Or if the body is too fat. 2.) Difficulty being aroused. When women are:stressed out, tired, depressed, too many problems,bad lover,   or have anxiety. -the majority of women don't like under these circumstances to have sex with men.3.) Aversion to sex and/or of men.If a girl is growing up in a family that abuse sex then the girl will have a bad consciousness if it will enjoy sex.On average every 10th girl is sexually abused through their family… In both cases, the sexually abused woman needs a therapy to get rid of all these aversions of sex and traumas. Otherwise, intimacy or a deep connection to her boyfriend or spouse will be a problem.4.) Asexuality. Women who have no or less sex drive… That is possible.5.) Inability to reach orgasm.Up to 10-20% of women never achieve an orgasm.  In all cases exist some remedies… First, check a female doctor. A.) For a low testosterone level, menopause and aging take daily:1.) Maca powder from a high altitude mountain (Andean) (otherwise it will not work!!!).  Maca powder can be very powerful to overcome menopause. Or try Ashwagandha (can't be used during pregnancy). 2.) Ginseng3.) Fo-Ti (He Shou Wu, Chinese Cornbind)4.) Gingko Biloba5.) Goji Berries (Wolf Berries)6.) Astragalar7.) Lingzhi Mushrooms8.) Gotu Kola9.) Jiao Gu Lan The first 5 herbs are increasing your testosterone and other sexual hormones… At least they make your body strong. The last 4 herbs are for busting your immune system and heart…B.) Zesta (a botanical oil to apply to the genitals) to enhance the climax of women.C.) INTONE ™ and Intensity™  are approved electrical stimulating devices that can help to get an orgasm and help to treat the urinary leakage in women. D.) Vaginal estrogen – Available as a cream, a tablet or a vaginal ring, and considered the best treatment for genital arousal problems and pain from vulvovaginal atrophy that occurs in many postmenopausal women.E.) Off-Label use of Vaginal DHEA 1 percent suppository – An adrenal precursor that women with vaginal atrophy/thinning/decreased sensation can use as an alternative to vaginal estrogen.F.) Osphena – The first, non-estrogen oral therapy for moderate to severe painful sexual activity due to vulvovaginal atrophy.G.) Flibanserin (Addyi®) – This drug was recently approved by the FDA to restore female sexual desire in women before menopause. It must be taken orally every day, and it may have side effects, such as severe low blood pressure and fainting.My Video: Why can't women sleep with men? https://youtu.be/zeT3eA_f_T0My Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast.B/Why-can't-women-sleep-with-men.mp3

Coming up on this episode, we're venturing into the world of asexuality, aromanticism, and demisexuality with guest, creator, educator and author, Cody Daigle-Orians! Please join us as we explore what each of these identities mean, how to figure out where you fit on the spectrum, and practical dating and flirting strategies! We also discuss the important topic of when and how to share this information with potential partners and talk about whether these identities can be fluid over time. We also speak to the stigma and the feeling of not fitting in that many people with these identities experience!  Finally, we provide valuable insights on how to communicate your needs and boundaries when dating, ensuring you can form meaningful connections while staying true to yourself. We venture in and out of grounding these identities in a "coming out" process, but you do not need to identify as queer to be ace, aro, or demi! Each of these identities exist outside of the queer specturm of identities. I hope you enjoy this conversation and learn a lot, just as I did!

Does it ever feel like you are trying to fit the proverbial square peg into the round hole of sexuality? Are you “going along” with your partner's wishes and desires even when you aren't feeling arousal? Has sex always been something that just doesn't light you up? Do you enjoy solo sex but partnered sex isn't a turn-on? Many people are unaware of the the asexuality spectrum and find relief and Aha! with new information on how this may look in relationships. Erica Leroye sits at the feet of Aubri Lancaster, Certified ASSECT Sexuality Educator and founder of Acesexeducation. Aubri has exceptional expertise teaching laypeople and professionals about ACE awareness in ways that are compassionate and transformational. Together they discuss: What do we mean by asexuality and how does it differ from low libido? What would be some common signs/signals that might help a person or a partner get to the “aha! This might be me/you/us!”? What has changed culturally/societally so that this is now more understood as a truth and not something that has to be “overcome”? What support is out there for people to learn and discover more? Beyond “Sex”-Expanding what intimacy and connection can look like and feel like for ACE people and partners They also share some juicy, on the spot erotica imaginations for people who aren't seeing themselves represented in traditional erotica to imagine into.

Communication is key in understanding and navigating asexuality in relationships. Desire discrepancy can lead to misunderstandings in couples. Solo sexuality is a legitimate expression of sexual identity. Embodied language in erotica can enhance sexual experiences. Non-sexual intimacy is equally important in relationships. Asexuality does not equate to a lack of desire for connection. Resources are available for those exploring their asexual identity. It's important to decenter sex in relationships and focus on other forms of intimacy. Understanding one's own needs and desires is crucial for healthy relationships.

Tahitia Timmons' parents were hippies, and so Tahitia had been around queer people since childhood. But when she came out to her mother as a teenager, Tahitia was shocked - and angry - to be met with the response "Why would you choose to be gay when you're already Black and a woman?" Tahitia shares how it wasn't until years later when one of her own children came out to her that she finally gained a real understanding of (and compassion for) her mother's fear-based response. We have a fascinating conversation that runs the gamut from asexuality to the evolution of lesbian stereotypes to that first queer heartbreak that just GUTS you. Plus, Tahitia explains how her company, Conscious By Us, tackles DEI specifically from a health (especially mental health) and wellness perspective.There are a ton of places where you can find Tahitia!
