Ooh la la! A young Canadian woman has been living in a European city, making friends and... having group sex. She doesn't speak their language- her friends are usually accommodating and speak English around her. But sometimes when the gang is banging, they revert to their native tongue and she feels left out. Should she let it slide, or let her lovers know she needs dirty talk translation? A woman with high libido has always been monogamous...until now. She reconnected with an old friend who confessed that he had a crush on her. He is in a poly relationship, and has also created a harem of women who he considers his "sluts." Should she let herself be recruited? It sounds hot to her, but a more traditional voice in her head warns her off. On the Magnum, it's the nightmare scenario: A woman's 11 year-old son snooped on her phone and found a cache sex pics starring his mother. Dan brings on Dr. Debby Herbenick, author of "Yes Your Kid" to talk about how and when to get a good conversation going with your kids about sex and privacy. And, it's time for an After Action Report! Andrew and his husband tried going to a jack shack for the first time together. Hear all about it. Have you tried something new recently? Was it great?

Strangulation, often misnamed "choking" (that's when something's stuck in your throat, not when someone's pressing on it), is trending in the sex lives of college-age kids, and that's a problem. Apparently, the thought is that if it's consensual, it's safe. Tell that to your brain cells that really need blood and oxygen at all times.  Dr. Debby Herbenick is a Provost Professor at the Indiana University School of Public Health and director of the Center for Sexual Health Promotion who's been studying sexual health and changing sexual behavior trends for the past two decades. She's also the author of Yes, Your Kid: What Parents Need to Know About Today's Teens and Sex and she has a lot to share on this topic. We need to talk about why young people are consenting to this and why some of them aren't—but think they need to just go along with it because it's become so normalized. And we need to talk about the risks. There is no safe way to strangle someone. Strangulation is the number one lethality indicator when abuse is present, and it's a pretty thin line between doing it for funsies and doing it for power and control.  You can read more in Amanda's story with Dr. Herbenick on DomesticShelters.org: "Being Choked During Sex Is Rising in Popularity Among Young People." And for more on talking to to your teen about sex, revisit Episode 13: Having the Sex Talk with Teens Featuring Shafia Zaloom.  Do you have a story you think we need to discuss or a guest we should have on?

Dr. Debby Herbenick wants us to know that today's trend for rough sex is different than what we might expect. Her research, as detailed in her book Yes, Your Kid: What Parents Need to Know About Today's Teens and Sex, shows a rise in aggressive and risky behavior, often lacking the crucial communication necessary between partners. Listen in as we unpack the rise in rough sex - specifically choking. We also discuss nude images, digital safety, and the importance of having conversations around all these topics with our teenagers and young adults. Dr. Debby Herbenick is a Provost Professor at the Indiana University School of Public Health-Bloomington, Director of the Center for Sexual Health Promotion, and an AASECT-certified sexuality educator. Her research focuses on women's sexual health, US population-representative research, as well as trends in sexual attitudes and behaviors. JOIN my Newsletter Community.FOLLOW on Instagram.VISIT my Website.

We are influenced by a lot in our early years that affect our sexual lives. Those who work on college campuses and teach human sexuality have noted that there is a rise in rough sex among the students. Some of what this rough sex involves is choking.

Her book, Yes, Your Kid helps parents navigate the necessary conversations that are needed in the home around sex and the exposure to porn. Often as parents we tend to think, “Not my kid.” However, the reality today is that with social media and 24 hour access to porn, this could very well be something your child has experienced or maybe thought about.  Dr. Herbenick is a Provost Professor at the Indiana University School of Public Health-Bloomington, Director of the Center for Sexual Health Promotion, and an AASECT-certified sexuality educator.

Technology Changes Sex Education – What Parents Need to Know to Talk to Their Teens   Dr. Diana Wiley interviewed her amazing colleague Dr. Debby Herbenick, Provost Professor at the Indiana University School of Public Health, and Director of the Center for Sexual Health Promotion. Dr. Debby has just published her sixth book: Yes, Your Kid: What Parents Need to Know About Today's Teens and Sex. She is widely considered one of the country's most credible sources of accurate scientific information when it comes to sexuality.   How did she come to write this book? As a sex researcher and educator, she knew parents needed sex education—in an updated version. So much has changed because of internet access. Also changed are the ways that teenagers and young adults are having sex. There are changing sexual norms. As a mom, Dr. Debby was compelled to write Yes, Your Kid.   It's important to be an askable parent, a parent who is warm, approachable, and supportive. Often with religious/church influences, the parents themselves grow up in a culture of sexual shame and guilt. Silence is a message, too. Dr. Debby offers parents guides to opening up conversations with their children. The book offers good strategies for parents.   We talked about “The Rise of Rough Sex” (Chapter 7). Dr. Debby's research has shown a rise in rough sex and even choking among teens. Forty percent of women ages 18 to 29 have been choked during sex. Choking is a form of strangulation; obviously, there are risks—even death, although rare. It everywhere now, even globally. It's in mainstream pornography. It's in lots of TikTok videos.   Parents, when confronted with this information will yell, “No Way!” Dr. Debby's extensive research says, “Yes, it's happening.”   Parents can step into conversations about rough sex, but also about consent, using condoms, and communication. Pleasure also needs to be considered. Who can enjoy getting it on with a lover who ignores the real risks of pregnancy and STIs? Feeling safe is crucial to the deep relaxation necessary for erotic pleasure!   To quote Debby Herbenick, PhD: “Let your teen know that you want them to have fulfilling relationships in life—and that may include sex if they want. Be that resource and safety net for them.”

In some ways, teens today seem to be more sexually cautious. They're waiting longer to have sex and they're having fewer partners. At the same time, however, they're also engaging in riskier sexual practices, with condom use declining and rough sex increasing. Sex education is as vital as ever, and it needs to reflect the sexual realities of today's youth. So in this episode, we're going to dive into what parents need to know when it comes to talking to their kids about sex.

At its core, sex is supposed to be pleasurable. It's typically considered much easier for a male to reach orgasm than a female, and although orgasm is not the only way to experience pleasure from sex, it's certainly a more defined and easily measurable endpoint. So with that said, how frequently and to what degree do women experience sexual pleasure when compared to men? Does it often take more time for women to understand their own bodies and what makes them sexually aroused? And how could men learn to be better sexual partners to women, by having a greater understanding of the way they experience sex?

Recorded: 7/26/2020 / Podcast Published: 11/26/2020- Call in at 865-268-4005 to leave your question or visit the Krypt at https://kuldrinskrypt.com. On this episode of The Krypt we are going to talk about choking and breathe play. - Rules to Love by:1: Safe, sane, consensual, and informed2: KNKI: Knowledge, No Intolerance, Kindness, Integrity3: “Submission is not about authority and it’s not about obedience; it is all about relationships of love and respect.” -Wm. Paul Young- DISCLAIMER: This is extremely dangerous. We recommend you NOT do this. If you choose to participate in this type of play, you are taking responsibility for the consequences which could include serious injury and/or death. BDSM is NOT a valid defense for accidental death and if your partner dies you will go to prison for negligent homicide.- Why Some People Are Turned on by Choking During Sex—and How to Do It Safely, According to Experts (By Gigi Engle, July 21, 2020 https://www.menshealth.com/sex-women/a26471117/choking-during-sex/Have you been curious about choking during sex? Maybe you had a partner recently who, seemingly out of nowhere, asked you to choke them? Or perhaps you saw a porn scene recently where choking was the main attraction? What’s the deal? We have the goods.Before we get into the psychology of why people are into choking, it’s important to address that choking during sex is extremely dangerous and should be done with caution. There are many risks. Just because you saw choking in a porn scene or are interested in it, does not mean you should just run off and choke your partner. With so much hardcore porn out there showcasing choking as this “no big deal” kind of thing that apparently happens every time you sleep with someone (it doesn’t), we suddenly have novices out here thinking choking is a first date activity. This is all around a BAD idea.If you’re interested in choking during sex, you need to be so, so careful. This is not the same as spanking, light bondage, or other forms of kinky play. It is capital “D” Dangerous.You also need to get explicit verbal consent and negotiate how you’re going to choke your partner before you even think about putting your hands around your partner’s neck. In a recent 2019 study conducted by Debby Herbenick, a professor and sex researcher at the Indiana University School of Public Health, 23 of the 347 female respondents described feeling scared during sex because their partner had tried to choke them unexpectedly.So, why are people into choking during sex—and how can you do it safely, if you're one of them? We spoke to some experts to get the inside scoop.- What's the psychology behind the appeal of choking during sex?"For men, choking close to orgasm can have a euphoric effect on climax, but should always be done safely," says Lia Holmgren, intimacy and relationship coach, and the upcoming author of Play with Power. She adds, "Women can have more intense orgasms when coupled with breath play (choking).”But the appeal of choking may go beyond stronger orgasms. The turn-on has deep psychological implications, giving both partners an opportunity to explore different roles during sex.Choking highlights the giving and receiving of control. Giving someone permission to choke you—or visa versa—is allowing the two of you to take on dominant and submissive roles in bed. This is something many of us long for: A release from control, or the power to take it. For example, when you’re used to making decisions, perhaps the idea of letting someone else control you during sex can be a turn-on.“Choking is an act of surrender when we completely trust the other, dominant party, and let them take complete ‘life-threatening’ control over the submissive party,” Holmgren says. She points out that the "life-threatening" aspect of choking is simply a perceived fantasy. You’re not really looking for any sort of near-death experience, but the prospect of someone having that power can be hot.How can you SAFELY incorporate choking into your sex life?There's a problem with the way some people perceive choking. Daniel Saynt, founder of The New Society for Wellness (NSFW), a sex-positive members-only club that hosts sexual education workshops, explains: “Choking is common in porn, usually with a male in the dominant position, so many feel this aggressive action is part of being 'a man' or providing strength/dominance in a sexual experience. They feel that doing it is how sex should be done.”This has dangerous implications. Watching someone get choked out on RedTube does not, in any way, constitute a lesson in proper choking technique. If you do it wrong, it could lead to serious injury or even death.- A clear mind is a must.If you don’t know what you’re doing, haven’t discussed boundaries, and/or aren’t in a proper state of mind, stay the hell away from breath play of any kind."If you are going to be choking your partner, you need to make it safe, sane, and consensual," Holmgren warns. “Don’t practice or perform choking and breath control when you are under the influence of drugs and alcohol, or when [a partner is] unable to consent or [you] haven’t pre-discussed the act.”- Take classes and learn what you’re doing.If you don’t know what you’re doing, you could seriously hurt someone. The way to figure out how to choke someone is with workshops, proper training, and practice.“If choking or being choked is something you are serious about, you need to take it seriously. Study the anatomy of the neck and read [up] on choking before you even do it,” Holmgren explains.Figure out the best way to touch your partner's neck.- When you start using choking with a partner, gently press on either side of the esophagus and figure out the pressure that works for them. If you push directly on the front of their neck (where you gather breath, the Adam’s Apple section of the throat) you can cause coughing. This is uncomfortable, not sexy, and SUPER DANGEROUS.“You are restricting airflow, which means the strength you use on your partner's neck shouldn’t be crushing," Saynt says. "You don’t want to break their esophagus."- Pay very close attention to how your partner responds.“If you restrict airflow too long, you can cause brain damage or death, so don’t get too caught up in the moment," Saynt says. "Be mindful during play to ensure the safest experience for you and your partner."Your partner should be able to answer you if you speak. If they can’t, stop what you’re doing immediately. Never choke someone so hard they cannot express words vocally. Check-in with each other and gather information about personal preferences as you become more experienced.- Set up boundaries.Before any choking takes place, both partners need to establish boundaries and indicate what they are and aren't OK with. Perhaps you’re looking for “hands-only” play, wherein a partner only uses their hands to choke you, or maybe a collar is more your thing. Whatever you’re into, a discussion must take place.Holmgren suggests talking about the timing, intensity, and overall goal of the choking. “You want to determine when your partner wants to be choked, (during penetration, oral, etc.) or closer to climax," she adds.You should also talk about the "style" of choking: Is it playful, dominant, maybe a little pretend scary? All of this should be determined BEFORE you ever do it, Saynt says.-Finally, have a safe word.In all BDSM play, a safe word should be established beforehand. This is an agreed-upon, usually non-sexual phrase that indicates when one's partner is uncomfortable and wants the play to stop.Even though your partner should always be able to speak while they’re being choked, you should also have a “safety action,” just in case they aren’t able to verbally communicate. With choking, a common safety action is to quickly shake your head “no” to indicate that the choking needs to immediately cease. Repeatedly tapping your partner (as one does when wrestling) is also another way to indicate that the choking needs to stop.- “Breath Play Is a Popular Form of BDSM. Here's How to Do It Safely.” (By Suzannah Weiss, July 21, 2020)https://www.menshealth.com/sex-women/a33382089/breath-play-erotic-asphyxiation-bdsm/ - Important Links:https://KuldrinsKrypt.com/Patreon https://kuldrinskrypt.com/silentcommunication https://KuldrinsKrypt.com/survey https://kuldrinskrypt.com/TeePublic Show notes can be found at https://kuldrinskrypt.com/246-Show Producers:Benefactor ($2,000/month): Pro Producer ($100/month): Lily ChaosMaster Producer ($50/month): Executive Producer ($25/month) ShadowyFox, Sweet Charlotte, and JunicornsAngelSr. Producers ($10/month): Matt, xEmeraldxWolfx, Roxiebear, ThatPlace: Oklahoma City, JayKay, SirMutualRespect, Master Gabriel, babylove & Sir, Sir Pent, PurplePantera, SortOutTheKinks, Daddy Steve, Stella, CIVLdisobedience, and Grog4lifeProducers ($5/month): Kainsin, Seine (Zine), Alexandria, Hayley, KJ, Duckie and Monroe.Jr. Producers ($1/month): K-2SO, BuffaloDom84, Morgana13, knot_the_daddy, Jeremiah, and macNmillerBecame a show producer: https://KuldrinsKrypt.com/Patreon- Vendors I know, like, trust, and use: (None of these are paid sponsors of the podcast.)http://bdsmcontracts.org Coupon code: kuldrin20 for 20% off all purchases.http://whippingstripes.com - My personal maker of leather and paracord impact toys.http://www.torridtimber.com/ - Fine fetish furniture and accessories- Contact info:Email: Sir@kuldrinskrypt.comFetlife Group: https://fetlife.com/groups/159275Fb: Kuldrin Fire https://www.facebook.com/kuldrin.fireTwitter: @MasterKuldrin https://twitter.com/MasterKuldrinInstagram: masterkuldrin https://www.instagram.com/masterkuldrin/Patreon: kuldrinskrypt https://www.patreon.com/KuldrinsKryptPaypal: MasterKuldrin http://paypal.me/masterkuldrinhttp://kuldrinskrypt.com

Welcome to episode 303 of the Sexology Podcast! Today I am delighted to welcome Debby Herbenick to the podcast. In this episode, we discuss choking during sex, analyzing the resources available in this area, and why communication is vital when engaging in choking.  Debby Herbenick is a tenured professor at the Indiana University School of Public Health and director of the Center for Sexual Health Promotion.   For more than 20 years, she has dedicated her efforts to understanding how people experience their bodies and sexual lives.   Among her 190+ scientific publications, she has developed and validated measurement scales to assess genital self-image (which can be thought of as how people feel about their genitals), the quality of sexual experiences, and measures related to sexual pleasure.  #Mahsaamini  We stand in solidarity with every single Iranian protesting against the repression of women in Iran. No woman should be persecuted for choosing what to wear or standing up for her rights.    Mahsa Amini, 22, died on September 16, three days after falling into a coma following her arrest in Tehran by the morality police. Her death erupted protests across Iran and the World.  While many people lost their lives in the demonstrations, thousands of people were detained. The Iranian government wants to shut down the voice of these women by shutting down the internet.   Please be their voice by reposting the news using #Mahsaamini     In this episode, you will hear:   How Debby became interested in the topic of choking during sex Analyzing the research and resources available on choking  Understanding what it means to be safe How you can weigh your own safety against any risks  The way in which meme culture has affected choking  Why communication is vital when engaging in choking Looking out for things like skin color changes when choking  What Debby's students think about choking   Find Debby Herbenick Online https://www.debbyherbenick.com  Foreplay Checklist https://drmoali.clickfunnels.com/free-foreplay-checklist51618558   Instagram https://www.instagram.com/sexologypodcast   Podcast Produced by Pete Bailey - http://petebailey.net/audio Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
