[Content Warning]: Suicide Attempts, Interpersonal Violence, Rape, Institutional Abuse, Threats of Violence, Exploitation of a Minor, Attempted Trafficking.In our last two episodes with Cheryl Hall, Cheryl tells us her daughter's harrowing story of abuse, rape, attempted trafficking, and suicide attempts. Jan and Cheryl spoke about how social media impacts teens and the challenges of monitoring their online behavior as well as what airports are doing to prevent human trafficking. In this episode, Jan and Cheryl focus on issues that were not previously discussed;  including the lack of sufficient and suitable mental health facilities for teens, what enthusiastic consent is and how we can teach it to our children, and the negative impact of purity culture, particularly on children who are neurodivergent. They emphasize the importance of creating safe communication channels between you and your child and your child and authority figures. Jan and Cheryl discuss purity culture, the patriarchy, and vertical morality, and their consequences on individuals' mental health and self-perception. They explore the importance of horizontal morality and personal autonomy, as well as the abuse of power in religious institutions. The concept of enthusiastic consent is stressed as a crucial aspect of healthy relationships. The conversation also emphasizes the need for accessible and trauma-informed mental health care, as well as addressing bullying and abuse in educational settings. The overall theme is protecting survivors and advocating for their well-being. To end their conversation, Jan and Cheryl explore the importance of support systems and community in the recovery process, as well as the need to empower survivors and raise awareness for prevention.Mentioned Resources:Tea Consent VideoIf you are someone you know is experiencing emotional distress or suicidal ideation, please access the resources below:National Suicide and Crisis Lifeline: Call/Text 988National Sexual Assault Hotline  (RAINN) : 1-800-656-HOPE (4673)National Alliance for Mental Illness: 1-800-950-6264Subscribe / Support / Contact:

Hop in the shower so you are 100% confident. (If you have favorite positions for vaginal penetration; try those for anal penetration first as you get more comfortable with this type of sex.) Everyone being fresh and clean before any kind of anal play is paramount. It helps everyone relax and helps everyone enjoy the experience more.Anal Sex Tip #2 You have to be able to imagine it happening in your mind's eye or it will never happen. You have to want it and you have to be able to envision it happening successfully. Your mind is a powerful instrument and it's an important element in this type of play. And, ladies YOU have to want it. It won't work well if it's only him that really wants it. As you know, your brain is the SEXIEST organ you own.

"PSA: Consent can be revoked at any time. Things can change from the start of a sexual encounter, and you should always be able to stop any time you are no longer comfortable with the activity. “Consent is not a blanket yes,” Engle explained, adding that people often misunderstand this crucial point. “It is an ongoing conversation throughout a sexual experience… Sometimes sex is going well — [and then] it's not. Maybe you change your mind, maybe you're not into this person's moves and want to stop, maybe you thought this would be fun and it isn't. If this is the case, you are completely within your right to revoke consent.” It can feel scary to assert your boundaries in that way, but it's important to remember you have agency over your body, and you never have to do anything that doesn't feel right. To stop something mid-act, Engle suggests taking a deep breath first, and then using a phrase like “I'm uncomfortable,” “I'd like to take a break,” or “Stop.” Another tactic is to set up a safe word to bring things to a full halt if needed. “Have a nonsexual word that is designed to stop the play, especially with a new partner,” Engle advised. “I suggest using the traffic light method. ‘Green' means go, and ‘red' means stop.” As Engle described, enthusiastic consent can be confirmed or denied through physical cues, but also by communicating out loud before — and during — a sexual act. Juliet, a 20-year-old from Los Angeles, California, told MTV News that she'll sometimes ask her partner questions like “Is this OK?” or “Do you like that?” adding that if she ever has any doubt, she stops to check in further. “I would expect my partner to do the same,” she said, explaining that it hasn't always easy for her to talk freely about consent. “There were times [in the past] where I was cool with kissing or making out, but I didn't want to go further, and yet I would find myself going further anyway because I felt like, ‘I started this, I guess I can't really stop.' But I know now that that's not true. I have the power to say, ‘Hey, wait a second. I'm not comfortable, let's slow down, take a break.'” "Yes, dirty talk can count as consent! If you're comfortable with it, turning up the heat with your words can make consent crystal clear. And given that enthusiastic consent is an evolving process, adding some raunchy dialogue to your sexual encounter can only help communicate your feelings and desires. “Some of the best partners … have been really vocal about letting me know what they like or how (and where) they want to be touched,” Nick explained. “Not everyone is into that of course, but if you are, it can be a great way to demonstrate enthusiastic consent, and it's a huge turn-on to know that you're turning the other person on.” Juliet told MTV News that she tries to make it clear to her partner during any sexual activity that she is enjoying it and wants it to continue. “I'll say things like, ‘That feels good,' or ‘Don't stop,' or even guide them to touch me somewhere to show that I am not just okay with it, but really into it,” she explained." --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/antonio-myers4/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/antonio-myers4/support

"What is enthusiastic consent? Enthusiastic consent is a newer model for understanding consent that focuses on a positive expression of consent. Simply put, enthusiastic consent means looking for the presence of a “yes” rather than the absence of a “no.” Enthusiastic consent can be expressed verbally or through nonverbal cues, such as positive body language like smiling, maintaining eye contact, and nodding. These cues alone do not necessarily represent consent, but they are additional details that may reflect consent. It is necessary, however, to still seek verbal confirmation. The important part of consent, enthusiastic or otherwise, is checking in with your partner regularly to make sure that they are still on the same page. Enthusiastic consent can look like this: Asking permission before you change the type or degree of sexual activity with phrases like “Is this OK?” Confirming that there is reciprocal interest before initiating any physical touch. Letting your partner know that you can stop at any time. Periodically checking in with your partner, such as asking “Is this still okay?” Providing positive feedback when you're comfortable with an activity. Explicitly agreeing to certain activities, either by saying “yes” or another affirmative statement, like “I'm open to trying.” Using physical cues to let the other person know you're comfortable taking things to the next level (see note below). Note: Physiological responses like an erection, lubrication, arousal, or orgasm are involuntary, meaning your body might react one way even when you are not consenting to the activity. Sometimes perpetrators will use the fact that these physiological responses occur to maintain secrecy or minimize a survivor's experience by using phrases such as, "You know you liked it." In no way does a physiological response mean that you consented to what happened. If you have been sexually abused or assaulted, it is not your fault. Consent does NOT look like this: Refusing to acknowledge “no” A partner who is disengaged, nonresponsive, or visibly upset Assuming that wearing certain clothes, flirting, or kissing is an invitation for anything more Someone being under the legal age of consent, as defined by the state Someone being incapacitated because of drugs or alcohol Pressuring someone into sexual activity by using fear or intimidation Assuming you have permission to engage in a sexual act because you've done it in the past If you've experienced sexual assault, you're not alone.

Today I interview Karl and Rene, porn stars and hosts of a new podcast entitled Enthusiastic Consent. I have been good friends with Karl for about a year now and I had the privilege of meeting Rene this February at Dave Warnock’s beach week in Florida. In this episode we talk about their passion to destroy sexual shame narratives in our culture. They both have very different stories. Karl guzzled the kool-aid whereas Rene never took it too terribly seriously. We discuss the madonna/whore complex, juxtaposing the experiences of Rene with mine. I get pretty vulnerable in this interview as I share about a lifetime of never feeling safe sharing and showing my sexuality in a culture that is ready to be disgusted by you or to objectify you. This is another interview that had me reeling for a few days afterwards and so I’m very excited to share it with you and hope you find it challenging as well. Much love to Karl and Rene. Thank you for the work you’re doing.*****Now that we’ve begun to process our history with toxic religion, we seek to regain autonomy over our minds and bodies from residual narratives, whether cultural or religious; while working towards respecting and empowering the autonomy of others. Together, we seek to rejoin the human race and participate in this chaotic experience of existence Thanks for listening and remember: You are autonomous and so is everyone else.

Kids in school in Australia aren't just being taught about consent in sex-ed these days, in 2019 they're also being introduced to the idea of 'enthusiastic consent'.

Fresh off of a lit weekend, your favorite trash talkers are at it again! The government is still shut down and people are working with out pay. Journalist, Toure has some explaining to do, and white men can’t mind their business again! What does consent mean to you? Is it black and white with a lot of gray area? Join the conversation on Episode 63 of Black in the City

This is part two of our podcast mini-series on consent. On this podcast, we look at what enthusiastic consent is and how you can apply it in the bedroom. You'll hear from sex therapist Tanya Koens about how we define consent, psychologist Dr Stephen Andrew on why some might think they have consent when they don't and Dr Nikki Goldstein on how and when you can change your mind, and why some people endure sex they're not 100% into.

What can a consent talk do? Do better at that. Consent is counter to western culture. Express yourself. Cultural Scripts. More thoughtful. There are Rangers and ESDs. Hurt feelings. STDs. Expectations. The Dick Squeeze. The mental health area. Talking photos. Rejection v. Enthusiastic Consent v. Acquiescing. Questions are everything.

This week I gather returning guests Amanda, Shannon and Carmen to drink some wine and talk all about the Babe.net story regarding Aziz Ansari. We get into the importance of encouraging enthusiastic consent, recognizing entitlement, the socialization of men and women and the unfortunate normalization of sexual misconduct, harassment and assault. Why do we normalize these experiences to be just "bad dates"? Why don't some women "just say no"? Why is consent not always a clear cut verbal response? Why are men taught to be persistent and why are women taught to protect their egos? We cover these questions and SO MUCH MORE in a very educative, passionate and important episode! Articles Mentioned: "I went on a date with Aziz Ansari. It turned into the worst night of my life" by Katie Way "The female price of male pleasure" by Lili Loofbourow Check out Amanda's Facebook Page: FemPop!

(Content Warning: Sexual Assault) Normally I don’t do too many episodes about current events in the news; I tend to save that for the blog. But recently I had a lot to say on Twitter about the situation with Aziz Ansari and as it turns out, I’ve got more to say. The issue with Ansari has less to do with "bad dates" or litigating why someone doesn't leave and everything to do with how we talk about sex and consent. How does someone who's a safe ally to women, someone who's supposed to be the guy who "gets it" still get it wrong when it comes to consent? Show highlights:  How we get consent wrong Why asking "why didn't she leave" is the wrong question How one person's "completely consensual" encounter can be the worst night of someone's life Why "mixed signals" are anything but How we create a culture were "no" means "try harder" ...and so much more.

Coercion isn't all that sexy

Have you ever said yes to too many things and started to feel like you've over committed yourself? Have you ever said yes to a meeting that you knew you weren't going to be on time for? Have you ever said yes because you didn't want to hurt somebody's feelings or you wanted to please somebody? Learning how to say no has been one of most liberating experiences of my life. By unpacking the baggage I had around saying, “no,” I have found endless happiness :). This week’s T.H.E. Celebration episode continues my Year of Balances by diving it: My journey of learning to say no. The ways we undermine our yeses by not saying no. Accessible, polite and well tested ways to say no. Please note: This episode and blog post is talking about “no” and “yes” in the context of time and life management. I am not talking about “yes” and “no” in the context of abuse, assault, sexual violence, and consent. In that context, it is a no unless there is ENTHUSIASTIC CONSENT. Here are two great article/resources: I Didn’t Say No But It Was Still Rape - https://goo.gl/UcRsQK 5 Reasons Not Saying No During NonConsensual Sex Doesn’t Make You Weak - https://goo.gl/p2T9s8

I infiltrate Alpha Counter Studios and bring Sean and The Business, LLC back for Episode 71 - the one where we cover the controversial topic of Enthusiastic/Affirmative Consent, and why it's important. The Business almost ruins a budding friendship by drunk live tweeting Justice League episodes, and tries to salvage things by inviting his new friend on a beat 'em up side scroller.  This is why we can't have nice things. Sean gets sunburned at a crowded bdsm-themed bungalow at the beach and meets a beautiful man named Ram Gabriel. While they were sunning and funning at the beach, I stayed home and had a yard sale - don't be too jealous.  And my copies of Exploding Kittens finally got here!! We tackle the idea of enthusiastic and affirmative consent:  What is it?  Why do we need it?  What's with the double standard?  What does it say about you, as a person, if the concept of affirmative consent is unacceptable to you? (HINT:  If it bothers you too much, you might be part of the problem.) We flip new tables about bad communicators, the impregnable login guards at Steam, and how Trigger Warnings have gotten out of damn hand.

This is one of my more important episodes.  I'm no longer repeating "enthusiastic consent" and I'll be talking about why on this one.  I'll also dig into my thoughts on being an ally and run through a list of banned books. Let's get to it. 

Episode 35: Yes Means Yes (Podcast). Enthusiastic Consent. Wait for it. There is nothing sexier than your partner meeting you enthusiastically as you proceed through the sexual dance. If they’re not enthusiastic, STOP. Slow down. Check in. Something. Sex is a gift you give to each other. It is not something you take for yourself. […]
