In this episode our guest is A'magine. A'magine is an author, educator, speaker and filmmaker. She came to the cafe to discuss her documentary called At Your Cervix. A new film exposing the little-known unethical practice of conducting non-consensual pelvic exams on unconscious patients. Grab your warm drink and tune in for a great conversation!Some key takeaways:Consent is non-negotiable: Patients have the right to set clear boundaries and be fully informed about all medical procedures involving their bodies.Advocacy matters: Being proactive, asking questions, and educating oneself before medical appointments can help protect against unethical practices. Support is crucial: We must work together to enact legislation, address systemic issues, and provide resources to empower patients and hold institutions accountable.The lack of consent is a critical issue that affects patients and medical students alike. Gynecological teaching associates (GTAs) are an excellent way for medical students to learn how to do pelvic exams with feedback.Watch the film, At Your Cervix!About A'magineA'magine earned her Master's degree in Human Sexuality Education at New York University and has been teaching and speaking about feminism and sexuality for over two decades.

At this week's Round Table, Emily, Emmanuel, and Hannah spoke with distinguished Professor Tania Israel of the University of California, Santa Barbara. Professor Israel is not only a beacon of knowledge but a transformative figure in the field. Holding a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology, a Masters in Human Sexuality Education, and a B.A. in Psychology and Women's Studies, she is at the forefront of academia. As a Fellow of the American Psychological Association and Past-President of the Society of Counseling Psychology, her expertise has been sought after by esteemed institutions, including the Institute of Medicine, Congress, and even the White House. As our conversation unfolded, it became evident that Professor Israel's expertise extends far beyond academic realms. As the Director of Project RISE at the University of California Santa Barbara, Professor Israel heads a research team dedicated to developing and studying interventions that support the psychological health of LGBTQ individuals and communities, and her passion for this work and for inclusivity shone throughout our conversation. Her TED Talk on bisexuality has captivated many, showcasing her ability to communicate complex topics with clarity and insight. We discussed the challenges of remaining optimistic and resilient in politically polarized times. Professor Israel shared strategies for cultivating the necessary resilience, drawing from her extensive background in psychology. Her words provided a comforting guide for listeners grappling with the emotional toll of contemporary political climate. Professor Israel also illuminated the various ways individuals can engage in elections beyond the act of casting a vote, from community involvement to advocacy. We hope you find our exploration of political polarization, resilience, and civic engagement both enlightening and inspiring. Let's carry forward the wisdom shared by Professor Israel in the face of political differences. Let's strive for understanding, empathy, and respectful dialogue. Let's nurture our optimism and resilience, recognizing that collective action can drive positive change. Let's remember that our engagement matters, not just at the ballot box but in our communities, conversations, and informed choices.

In episode 293 of the Fraternity Foodie Podcast, we find out why Dr. McKee chose Radford University for his undergraduate experience, why he kept the hazing he experienced in the fraternity to himself, why he decided to pursue advanced degrees in Human Sexuality Education, what is the best part of being an adjunct professor, what the new research by Cimino and Thomas showed about hazing and solidarity in fraternities, whether the laws have been too lenient or if it's the judges who are lenient on the sentencing in hazing crimes, more details on his study on sexual hazing which was the first to examine the meanings of these behaviors among fraternity men, and how we can keep high expectations of behavior within fraternities and sororities despite all the hazing they are exposed to in high school, satire websites and movies, and the pro-hazing attitudes that we've seen during the pandemic. What did you think of the interview? Who else should we interview on this topic? What topic should we explore next? Let us know in the comments below!

Lisa Schwartz is here with me to talk about the intersection of ADD/ADHD with relationships and sex. We go over how ADD/ADHD can show up in various ways, strategies to build an intimate relationship, and how ADD is not just a disorder. Definition- Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) Lisa's personal experience with ADD has helped her work with patients in her practice. She says that people with ADD can hyper-focus on things that grab their interest. While doing that, they may not be able to focus on things that are not of interest to them. Recognizing the behaviors of ADD/ADHD From her experience with patients in her practice, Lisa lists several behaviors such as disorganization, not being present, short-term memory issues, lack of energy, and more, that people with ADD exhibit. One can be recognized as having ADD when one or more of these behaviors begins to show themselves. How does ADD/ADHD show up in sex and relationships? Lisa uses David Reed's Erotic Stimulus Pathway model and Dennis Dailey's model of sexual beings to explain how ADD shows up in sex and relationships. Reed's model around sexual functioning talks about seduction, sensation, surrender and reflection. Lisa describes how ADD/ADHD interrupts relationships with one's partner, sexual and otherwise. Dailey's model of sexual beings categorizes human beings into sensuality, intimacy, identity, reproduction, and sexualization. These categories show up to affect individuals with ADD and their partners in sex and relationships. Tips for people with ADD/ADHD in terms of sex and relationships Lisa advises people with ADD/ADHD to take their medication to keep their focus, plan their sexual activities on a leisure day to conserve their energy, build an environment comfortable for both partners and practice mindfulness to stay present. It's also important for partners to identify ADD/ADHD and view it as separate from them in a way that doesn't impact their efforts to work on it collaboratively. Final thoughts Lisa leaves us with the message that ADD/ADHD is not necessarily a disorder, but to be viewed as something positive that enhances creativity and passion.

Sex After Spinal Cord Injury On this episode, Mitchell joins us to discuss the impact of a spinal injury on sexual function. Having experienced this type of injury personally, he shares his journey to teaching people about sexual health being one of the first people to have a sexual health domain registered in 1996. The website was intended to help people with disabilities with their sexual health but soon became a central source of sexual health information for all kinds of people. The Importance of Trust Setting myths aside, Mitchell explains that people with disabilities can experience sexual pleasure, erections, etc but some have difficulty expressing themselves. After research into this, he found that people need a partner they can trust to reach the point of sexual pleasure and comfort. A critical part of this is relearning the truth about sex, departing from the limiting physical definition to experiencing trust, safety, and connectedness. Mitchell is a testament to breaking physical boundaries with this combination. He has found that even those with disabilities below their injury region have experienced an orgasm with the proper context and approach. Sexual Self Esteem In other areas of his research, Mitchell tells us about the effect of how much time has passed post-injury and sexual self-esteem on sexual health. His findings also point to people having higher sexual self-esteem if they were born with their disability as opposed to people who acquired their injury. This is based on the latter group constantly comparing their past sexual performance with their current ability. These Ideas Apply to Everyone In his process of helping people, Mitchell explains that he helps his clients understand how their new bodies work, as this is usually overlooked or taken for granted. In addition to this, he encourages people to make use of touch, sound, and sensation to help people reach sexual pleasure. For people that aren't struggling with a disability but want to explore a deeper and meaningful sexual experience, Mitchell advocates sensate focus. He further explains that this builds sexual communication and advocates touching for your own sexual satisfaction, allowing your partner to provide feedback. Mitchell also finds that Tantra a meaningful technique to deeper sexual experiences. The technique has three main factors: Stop, focus, and connect, which he digs deeper into. Achieving Orgasm Mitchell's techniques are beneficial to able-bodied and disabled people, revealing that penetration is not at all the only means to orgasm. With dozens of examples of non-penetrative orgasms amongst his findings, he shares real cases with us that shed light on this experience. Undoing learned habits is just as huge a part of the difficult journey to experiencing sexual liberation. Incorporating play into sex is also a great way to make it less serious.

Sex After Spinal Cord InjuryOn this episode, Mitchell joins us to discuss the impact of a spinal injury on sexual function. Having experienced this type of injury personally, he shares his journey to teaching people about sexual health being one of the first people to have a sexual health domain registered in 1996. The website was intended to help people with disabilities with their sexual health but soon became a central source of sexual health information for all kinds of people. The Importance of Trust Setting myths aside, Mitchell explains that people with disabilities can experience sexual pleasure, erections, etc but some have difficulty expressing themselves. After research into this, he found that people need a partner they can trust to reach the point of sexual pleasure and comfort. A critical part of this is relearning the truth about sex, departing from the limiting physical definition to experiencing trust, safety, and connectedness. Mitchell is a testament to breaking physical boundaries with this combination. He has found that even those with disabilities below their injury region have experienced an orgasm with the proper context and approach. Sexual Self Esteem In other areas of his research, Mitchell tells us about the effect of how much time has passed post-injury and sexual self-esteem on sexual health. His findings also point to people having higher sexual self-esteem if they were born with their disability as opposed to people who acquired their injury. This is based on the latter group constantly comparing their past sexual performance with their current ability. These Ideas Apply to Everyone In his process of helping people, Mitchell explains that he helps his clients understand how their new bodies work, as this is usually overlooked or taken for granted. In addition to this, he encourages people to make use of touch, sound, and sensation to help people reach sexual pleasure. For people that aren’t struggling with a disability but want to explore a deeper and meaningful sexual experience, Mitchell advocates sensate focus. He further explains that this builds sexual communication and advocates touching for your own sexual satisfaction, allowing your partner to provide feedback. Mitchell also finds that Tantra a meaningful technique to deeper sexual experiences. The technique has three main factors: Stop, focus, and connect, which he digs deeper into. Achieving Orgasm Mitchell’s techniques are beneficial to able-bodied and disabled people, revealing that penetration is not at all the only means to orgasm. With dozens of examples of non-penetrative orgasms amongst his findings, he shares real cases with us that shed light on this experience. Undoing learned habits is just as huge a part of the difficult journey to experiencing sexual liberation. Incorporating play into sex is also a great way to make it less serious.

Natasha Helfer Parker interviews Al Vernacchio on the topic of providing the most effective types of sexual education to adolescents. What’s the difference between abstinence and comprehensive sexual education? What’s the history of the importance of virginal status and the impact it has on our culture?

In Episode 43, Kaci Mial joins Dr. Zhana and Joe to talk about the female condom. Some people (including Joe) don’t even know what a female condom is! But this stops with this episode where we learn a lot more about the female, or internal, condom.

Don’t miss this week’s foreplay… Are millennials better at staying in marriages than their parents were? A new study has found that divorce rates have dropped by 18% over the last 10 years. One possible reason could be that millennials might be getting married later, choosing to focus more on their careers and reaching economic stability before getting married which often leads to more marital stability. Furthermore, fewer millennials are getting married in the first place, therefore not contributing to the divorce rate at all. There are many possible answers to this new, unprecedented finding. https://www.theatlantic.com/family/archive/2018/09/millennials-divorce-baby-boomers/571282/ (Click here) to find out more.
