Natalie is joined by sex educator Erica Smith to talk about how our obsession with purity culture affects the quality of sex education we are given. Sex education should be something that is delivered to people without bias and without the idea that virginity and religion should be at the center of your sexual identity. Erica is the creator of the Purity Culture Dropout program that aims to provide support to people who are wanting to de-program from purity culture and take part in sex education that is queer inclusive, safe, and informative. The episode will center around how we became so purity driven when it came to sexuality, the consequences we face when sex is only viewed from the lens of religious morality, and what steps we can be taking to make sure we are talking about sex in ways that everyone has the knowledge to make decisions based in how they actually feel.Follow us at @menivetoleratedpod on Instagram!https://www.patreon.com/menivetoleratedpod on Patreon for bonus content!

This spring, we are answering ten of the most common questions that we hear as sex therapists. This week, we're exploring the question, "What do I need to consider when I have sex for the first time?" We created six different scenarios that a person might have for the first time: A general first time sexual experience, and considering what you disclose (and don't disclose) ahead of time. Oral sex and stimulating another person's clitoris or penis A same-sex sexual experience. Anal sex. A sexual experience that involves vaginal penetration Group sex. And we've invited the amazing Erica Smith to help us process these six scenarios. Erica is the founder of Purity Culture Droput. Learn more about Erica at ericasmitheac.com

This spring, Julia and Jeremiah are answering the ten most common questions that we receive as sex therapists. In this episode, they explore the question, "How do I have my first orgasm?" If you haven't had an orgasm before and you want to have orgasms, messages about "just taking it off the pedestal" and focusing on other areas of pleasure can be really minimizing and dismissive, even if, in the long run, they are helpful. J+J are joined by the amazing Erica Smith, sex educator and founder of Purity Culture Dropout.

If you grew up in purity culture, you were taught that things like sex, alcohol, and porn were evil portals to demon possession, and you would become addicted to these kinds of vices. Of course people can become addicted to things, but purity culture lied to us. For most christians, there is no such thing as balanced living with people making choices and decisions about what they want to do or consume. Scott and Priska talk about their own stories and break down some of the falsehoods taught in purity culture that make people afraid to simply live their lives. Even worse, it teaches people to not trust their own instincts and abilities to assess risk. Plus, a clip from Content Warning 2024 about pornography and it's supposed addictive nature, featuring Erica Smith, Tori Williams Douglass, Transvangelica, Wyld Violet, and Cortland Coffey. Plus a primer on clown sex. The Horny Chapel is part of the Dauntless Media Collective.

Sex educator Erica Smith did not grow up in Purity Culture, but she has learned about how damaging it is for men and women and for society. She has dedicated her life's work to helping people heal from their patriarchal pasts that stunted their development as sexual humans and move forward to explore their bodies and their sexuality. With a deep understanding of race, gender, and the maddening behaviors of fundamentalists, Erica is well-suited to help folks in deconstruction become more whole as humans.

April is Sexual Assault Awareness month so we thought it was only fitting that we talked about pastors who make “jokes” about sex and how women should respond to men as a wifely obligation. If this sounds familiar to what's been going around on social media with mega church pastor Josh Howerton, you're correct! The Wise Jezebels break down how harmful that messaging is (and yes, we look at it in context at his followers request which, spoiler alert: makes it worse!) and how it creates dynamics in a relationship that are often difficult to come back from. We also check in on some pop culture topics and discuss how to address topics surrounding puberty after having grown up in purity culture! Stay fresh betches!

Recently, ANCOR & UCP released the Case for Inclusion 2024. This report examines how well state programs are supporting people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. New data and analysis revealed that improvements had been made, but are currently tenuous, as they were largely the result of temporary pandemic-era funding. So we spoke with Erica Smith Buchanan, executive director at CADENCE of Acadiana about what that means on the ground, and for the day-to-day lives of people with disabilities in the state of Louisiana. She gets real about the challenges, but is hopeful, because the link between progress and funding has never been clearer. This podcast is produced by ANCOR, the leading voice in Washington, DC, for providers of services for people with disabilities. To learn more, visit ancor.org.

"I just found it so fascinating that the campaigns that were put out saying that porn is a public health issue were not public health people...they were put out by religious organizations."In this episode of Called to be Bad I talk with sex educator Erica Smith about the ways religion has influenced the public's opinion on porn. How does purity culture affect the way we view porn? Is a "porn addiction" a helpful way of those who watch "a lot" of porn? Is there a way we can hold nuance and include sex workers in our discussions about porn, religion, and ethics?Resources: You can find Erica here: Website: https://www.ericasmitheac.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ericasmith.sex.ed/The studies Erica referenced: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1r1NwGugwXNis1umeYL4FI8aIjZEF4JVaEWeEEH_wNBs/editSupport the showFollow us for more ✨bad✨ content: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/calledtobebad_podcast/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/calledtobebad Website: https://calledtobebad.buzzsprout.com/ Sponsor of this episode: https://www.arthumorsoul.com/ Want to become part of the ✨baddie✨ community?

Here, in Part One, Erica walks us through the Five Circles of Sexuality, originally developed by Dr. Dennis Dailey in 1981, and adapted in Erica's resource My Sexual Values Workbook. We discuss:What the five circles of sexuality are and how they can help us sort through our beliefs, convictions, comfort levels, knowledge, and more to begin defining sexual ethics and values for ourselvesIntimacy: Within this circle are things like communication, non-sexual intimacy in all kinds of relationships, casual sex/dating, commitment, vulnerability, boundaries, and moreSensuality: Within this circle is the ability to give and receive pleasure, to identify what gives us pleasure, fantasy, arousal, desire, how we feel about masturbation for ourselves and/or a partner, the orgasm gap, etc.Power & Sexualization: In this section, we discuss things like agency, consent, power differentials, coercion, manipulation, sexual violence, victim-blaming, using others for our own benefit without care/concern for them, and moreSexual Health & Reproduction: In this section, Erica walks us through what types of things we'll encounter in this circle like contraceptives (communal and individual), STIs, pregnancy, abortion (communal and individual), anatomy, etc.Sexual Identity: Within this circle, Erica talks us through gender identity, sexual orientation, and attraction (whether you identify as on the LGBTQIA+ spectrum or as a cisgendered, straight person).GUEST BIO: Erica Smith (she/her) is an award winning sexuality educator and consultant with over 20 years of experience.

Viewer discretion is always advised, dummies, but this one is a must. Erica Smith, sexuality educator for 22 years and creator of Purity Culture Drop Out, talks candidly and answers Joey's crazy questions about female sexuality. According to Erica, there's not a lot of sexual behavior (i.e. masturbation habits, being aroused by visual stimuli ) consistent to a particular gender. In other words, "girls like stuff," just like boys. There is however a lot of sexual tendencies/patterns in society that are affected greatly by cultural conditioning.What's the biology behind older men remaining sexually attracted to girls in their early to mid-twenties? What does Erica's research say about casual sex and hook-ups? We talk porn, sado masochism, how much sex goes on in nursing homes and many more "blush inducing" topics. Love the show? We would love your support as a patron.*All patrons have optional access to the Bear W/ Community.About / Video / JoinErica Smith / Instagram / Website Joey Svendsen, co-host / Instagram / Twitter / Facebook / E-mailPodcast SocialsPWNA Discussion Facebook Group / YouTubeThanks // Joel Hamilton / Joel Hamilton + friends for music on this episode.e-mail the PWNA team here.Support the show

Brad speaks with sex educator Erica Smith about her experiences working in abortion care and what the overturning of Roe looks like on the ground for ordinary Americans. They discuss how and why abortion is healthcare and the health risks involved for pregnant people if abortions are not accessible. They also discuss how the misguided approaches to sex education in this country lead to reductive conversations about pregnancy, abortion, and reproductive rights. They finish by discussing ways to get involved in the fight for reproductive rights at a time when organizing and activism are as important as ever.

We take a sober look at Saturday's massacre of African Americans in Buffalo. The shooting was partly because of white supremacy. But the REAL reason for the shooting is it's too easy for every lunatic in America to get their hands on an assault weapon. Our nation's gun laws are an act of collective suicide. We choose weapons over peace. We prefer profits for arms manufacturers over our own security. From guns to for profit healthcare Americans are killing themselves in the name of Mammon.

[Not a "christian" or "non-christian" conversation," nor a conversation revolving around my personal sexual ethics. Okay, now with that out of way -- Joey}God gives graciously. Can this be seen any clearer in the sophisticated way humans are able to experience pleasure within one's very anatomy? And just like most other things, humans have managed to screw (no pun intended) this up also. Erica Smith, sex educator of 20 years, speaker, writer, consultant (including online one-on-one's) and creator of Purity Culture Drop Out comes on to talk all things sex, some advice and insight for all. This episode covers a variety of topics surrounding human sexuality, including the benefits of regular masturbation for men and women; and the conundrum between valuing feminine freedom and power, while hating their objectification. Is it a bummer to be asexual? Would it be helpful for people to expand the definition of what sex is? Are some people wired incompatible with monogamy? Erica points to the Puritanical values that have been baked into the very sexual fabric of America, impacting those in and well outside of church/religious culture? At top of episode, Robbie Maddison, Hayne Griffith and Joey Svendsen talk vaccines as Joey shares the very close call his mother had a few weeks ago with that there COVID-19.
