Hei og hopp, vi er antipridestopp! Det er juni – selveste Pride-måneden!

Throughout history, across cultures and in every walk of life, there have always been people with varied sexual attractions, or lack there of. Asexuality, in particular, has only been identified and studied since the early 20th century. People in the past did not have the concepts, terminology or relative freedom we have today. So those who might now identify as asexual had a limited understanding of what they were experiencing. This makes it difficult for historians to identify people from the past who may have been asexual. Sexual attractions and relationships of every variety often left evidence, like steamy love letters and reports from others. But a lack of sexual desire was much less likely to be expressed. Sexuality, particularly among royals and especially among women, was often not a matter of choice. Princes and Princesses had to marry and reproduce with whoever their parents told them to. In many cases, particularly when young princesses were wed to much older kings, their own desires were invalid. So unless they risked their lives by having an affair, we can't know if they were secretly lusting after the stable boy, the kitchen maid, or if they just wanted to be left alone to enjoy a slice of cake. As with all of my LGBTQIA+ videos, I am sensitive about outing people posthumously. These people are no longer able to tell us their own stories, and we must therefore rely on journals, letters and reports from others, which can't give us a complete picture. But despite the gaps in our knowledge, these people deserve to have their stories told. I think it is incredibly important for people of all sexual orientations and gender identities to see themselves represented in history and to know that they are not alone in the world or in time. And I have had many requests to do a video about ace royals from the past. So today let's meet 6 royals from history who's experiences and actions indicate that they may have been asexual.

Du kjenner kanskje til memen «the gay cousin», men om du ikke vet hva det er – frykt ikke, for det lærer du i så fall i denne episoden. Jens Elwyn og Mar Valo diskuterer hvorvidt de selv er «the gay cousin», eller «det skeive søskenbarn» på norsk, og de deler også sine personlige meninger om denne sangomsuste stereotypen.

Visste du at skeiv ensomhet faktisk er en ting? Men... hva er egentlig skeiv ensomhet, og er det annerledes enn «typisk» ensomhet? Hvordan kan det utspille seg? Hvordan motvirker man skeiv ensomhet, og er det noen som kan hjelpe deg?Tja, du må nesten høre på denne episoden for å få svar på disse spørsmålene. Med mindre du vil undersøke temaet på egenhånd da, naturligvis, men da går du glipp av historier fra virkeligheten som du ikke kan finne noe annet sted enn i akkurat denne episoden! Men et lite hint til «er det noen som kan hjelpe meg?»-delen: den informasjonen finner du også i denne episodebeskrivelsen (rett under dette avsnittet)

CW: child endangerment. The time vortex continues to confound our adventurers as they attempt to rescue Seth. They still need to find a solution to the time crisis - maybe these strange sprites can help? Toz searches the maelstrom. Raina does a sprite experiment. Morgan tries new traversal methods.

Exciting news - pre-order my debut book https://linktr.ee/HealthySBTH?utm_source=linktree_profile_share

Hvilke fremkomstmidler er skeive? Hvilke fremkomstmidler er streite? Hva er twink death? Når dør en twink? Få svar på dette – OG MER – i denne flotte episoden av Lobbyen, hvor lobbyist Mar Valo har fått med seg ikke én, men TO(!!) gjester, nemlig Edvin og Anja (som er kjærester). Det blir også gjort noen tapre forsøk på å finne nye betydninger av allerede eksisterende forkortelser og akronymer. Klarer de å motstå fristelsen til å si «pussy» hver gang det er en p? Og som om ikke dette var nok å prate om, så mimres det jammen også tilbake til tidligere (skeive og streite) konsertopplevelser.

Are you asexual, or is it just your eating disorder? Can your relationship with food mirror your relationship with sex? In this week's episode I am joined by therapist, sexologist and author of 'Nourishing Desire: A Guide to Sexual Recovery and Discovery for People with Eating Disorders', Dr. Jessica Singh. Topics covered include:- The biological and psychological impact of an eating disorder on libido- Body image, and the importance of embodiment- The 'spectrum of control', and how this relates to eating and sexuality- Asexuality as a sexual orientation, versus 'ED induced asexuality' - How shame can impact sexuality- Practical tips for people struggling with sexual function in recoveryDr. Jess' website: drjessicasingh.comInstagram: @appetiteswithdrjess

Klær og stil kommuniserer mer enn mange kanskje tror og tenker over, men mange skeive, særlig kjønnsskeive, har et veldig bevisst forhold til hvordan utseende påvirker hvordan vi blir oppfattet og behandlet av menneskene rundt oss. I denne episoden har lobbyistene Iben og Mio fått besøk av gjest Stian, og disse magiske mulletmusketerene analyserer sin egen stil i forhold til kjønnsidentitet, estetikk og samfunnsnormer. Har du lyst til å høre mer om disse teamene kan du også høre på episode 

This is it! The final confrontation is here! But maybe it's less of a BBEG and more of a... puzzle? Toz just walks in. Raina gets a nasty surprise. Morgan does some science. Delphi breaks a brain.

"Ser du meg? Ja, du ser på meg, men ser du meg? Egentlig?"Skeiv synlighet er viktig, men kan man egentlig være synlig som noe ingen vet hva er?Lobbyist Mio tar dere med på en (liten) tankestrøm om å være ikkebinær i en binær verden.

Hvor langt ned i helvete befinner vi oss? Hvordan kan Emil unngå å bli lest som gay på byen? Og hva kan Maria (og alle andre) fokusere på for å distrahere seg fra stress og overveldelse i hverdagen? Dette er noen av spørsmålene lobbyistene Emil, Mio og Maria besvarer i denne chille og koselige onsdagsepisoden av Lobbyen.

Det er jammen ikke lett å lengte etter noen eller noe som ikke finnes – et konsept, for eksempel. Og enda verre er det kanskje å lengte etter noe man ikke helt kan sette ord på? Vel, jeg (Mar Valo) har forsøkt å sette litt ord på akkurat dette, i et øyeblikk med refleksjon. Men har jeg prestert å faktisk gjøre det? Nei, det får du finne ut av ved å høre på denne installasjonen av Agendaen poeserer.Her møtes to verdener: poesi og musikk – og de danser en romantisk vals. Sammen. En symbiose. Og de omfavner hverandre der de danser under stjernehimmelen. Dette er kjærlighet. Er det dette jeg lengter etter?Om du ønsker å lese diktet i ditt eget tempo, eller du ikke helt klarte å oppfatte alt som ble sagt, kan du finne teksten til diktet som en nettsak på Radio Novas nettside. Tittelen er «jeg lengter...» – sjokkerende nok.P.S. Musikken er komponert og produsert til denne episoden, og du gjetter aaaaaaldri hvem som laget den(

Åååååå nei da, vi er på ingen måte ferdig med å prate om at det er vår og at vi er våryre. Eller er vi egentlig våryre – altså kåte (per Ilja)? I denne episoden prater i hvert fall Ilja, Emil og Mar Valo om sine datingliv, og gjett om vi har vært aktive eller!!! Det blir også en vårrelatert (som i sesongen, ikke oss) smash or pass. Og til slutt ber Ilja de to særdeles erfarne datingekspertene Emil og Mar Valo om hjelp med et par dilemmaer som hen har møtt på i datinglivet sitt i det siste. Her blir det, med andre ord, masse latter og god stemning, men også reflekterte, seriøse samtaler – en solid kombo som vi i Lobbyen er riktig så dyktige på (og har en tendens til å ta i bruk fordi vi er så kule)

Mar Valo, Melinda og Nina tar en pause fra påskefeiringen for å hjelpe dere med hva enn dere måtte trenge. Hvordan fortelle foreldrene dine at du er skeiv? Hvordan begynner du strap on eventyret? Og hva er egentlig den beste sjekkereplikken? Dette og mye mer får du svaret på i denne påskespesialen fra Lobbyen

Intimacy isn't just sex—and for a lot of autistic and ADHD adults, dating can feel like a confusing set of unspoken rules that nobody will explain. In this episode of Adulting With Autism, host April sits down with Mandy Hart, a Certified Sexologist and founder of Hart's Desire—Intimacy and Relationship Coaching, for a candid, compassionate conversation about shame, consent, boundaries, and connection. Mandy blends behavioral science, public health, and trauma-empowered somatic coaching to help people reconnect with their bodies, build confidence, and create authentic intimacy on their own terms—whether that's with a partner, multiple partners, or solo. We talk about what it means to feel safe in your body, how to communicate needs and boundaries, how to discuss STIs without panic or shame, and how consent can be sexy, clear, and ongoing (not a checklist). In this episode, we cover: Intimacy vs. sex: expanding what "connection" can mean Shame and self-worth: how it shows up in dating and relationships "Safety in your body" and nervous system regulation Consent skills: how to ask, how to check in, and how to make it hot (not awkward) Neurodivergent dating: navigating cues, boundaries, and communication Asexuality, sensory needs, and relationships without partner sex STI disclosure and sexual health conversations with compassion Connect with Mandy Hart: Website: https://harts-desire.com/  Email: mandy@hearts-desire.com Book a free discovery call via the site Blog: Embodying Hart's Desire

[Rerun] Dr. Kirk Honda talks about asexuality. (Occasionally in this episode, I mistakenly conflate asexuality with no libido; someone who is asexual can have a libido and desire sex, but it's not directed anywhere.)

We're getting a little scholarly about sex and connection!!!! We sit down with Nadege, also known as Pleasure Science, a sex scholar who breaks down the science behind how we flirt, love, and connect. We brought her on because, honestly, I have no idea what my flirting style even is. Am I playful? Sincere? Shy? All of the above? We also dive deep into asexuality and demisexuality, two identities that are often misunderstood. Before I go around calling myself demisexual, I wanted to actually educate myself on what that means, and who better to help me unpack it than a sex scholar herself? So tune in to find out what my real flirting style is, if I can officially call myself a demisexual, and maybe even discover what your flirting style is. Do you resonate with being demisexual or asexual? Let's find out together!!!

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.

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.
