Podcast appearances and mentions of marla stewart

I put Marla's bio below this description but let me tell ya'll, I came in with three talking points: 1. What is the Sex Down South Conference? 2. Speaking to the intersection of pleasure and safety when it comes to sex 3. Talking about kink as a treatment for trauma I NEVER make outlines for episodes because typically the content deviates from the topic and I find myself trying too hard to stay on topic but we managed to get an hour of conversation going between us. Marla offers some examples of this with choking and I share some of my own experiences navigating not only the conference but how kink has been helpful to me navigating not just my ideas of sex, but with INTIMACY. If you've been listening to the last few episodes or following me on social media then you know I've been looking at my own relationship to sex and intimacy and invite you to do the same.

This week, we're doing something a little different. Our lovely intern Maggie, who is studying Sexuality at Concordia University, is doing a series of interviews on working in the field of sexuality and I was her first interviewee, so we're going to share that conversation with you. Before we dive into that, I want to shout out the Womanizer & We-Vibe sales. We-vibe has my favourite toy, The Touch on sale as well as a number of others like the Wish, and the Tango at We-Vibe.com and Womanizer also has a few products on sale including the Starlet, which is under $50 at Womanizer.com - please use code DRJESS to save a few extra $ and to let them know that you heard about them here. I told you last week about all the positive feedback I've been receiving regarding the Womanizer Starlet from online messages to people stopping me in the airport, so do check it out at Womanizer.com Alright, without further ado, let's get to our interview. In this conversation, I talk about my personal journey into the sexuality field, the challenges, the rewards, how I carved my path, what I've learned and what I foresee for the future. Check it out. Here's Maggie taking over the mic... Maggie: The first person I'm going to be interviewing is Dr. Jessica O'Reilly, otherwise known as Dr. Jess. She's a sexpert, a media personality, the host of the Sex With Dr. Jess podcast, she's an author and educator, amongst other things. So Hi, Dr. Jess, thanks for chatting with me today. How are you? Dr. Jess: Great. Thanks for having me, happy to be chatting. Maggie: Happy to have you. So because we're talking about careers, I'm going to start with, what is it that you actually do for a living? Could you please describe your professional work in the sexuality field? Dr. Jess: Absolutely. So I'm a speaker and an educator. So I work with groups, primarily adults, and primarily couples, who want to work on their relationships, want to enhance their sex lives, want to improve their communication skills, their intimacy, their connection. And my work really entails traveling to host a range of different workshops. So I'm not really seeing people one on one, it's all group work. Sometimes it's what we call a brief intervention, or I guess they're all fairly brief interventions for hours, maybe a couple of days, and we work through the group process. So that's what the bulk of my work entails. And then I support that work, and I suppose promote that work via the media side. So I host a television show. I have, of course my podcast, the Sex with Dr. Jess podcast, I write for publications, and I contribute to mainstream media publications on a daily basis. Maggie: That's so interesting. Thank you for that.

How important is oral sex? Is it okay to have a crush on a co-worker if I’m married? Are ‘cheating clauses’ healthy for relationships? How do I get over a crush? Why does sex education matter? Jess and Brandon chat sex, love and relationships addressing these questions and many more. Check out the rough summary notes from the podcast below: We’re in south Florida this week - I’m working on a new book all about seduction and foreplay along with my co-author Marla Stewart and we are enjoying the sunshine. But it has been a stressful week - with Lido. And I just found out that I’m shadow banned on Instagram because my account gets reported all the time - I don’t post provocative or even sexy photos. It’s mostly my face, Brandon’s and my pup Lido’s, but because people don’t like that I talk about sex, they report me and Instagram has shadow banned me. Now they can send me harassing messages and Instagram doesn’t do anything about it. I reported a dick pick on FB the other day and FB said that the person’s account doesn't violate their terms. But somehow because I talk about sex and relationships, none of my hashtags show up in feeds or searches and my content is hidden from many people’s feeds - even those who follow me. So if you follow me on Insta - it’s SexWithDrJess - please take a moment to head over to my account. If you can comment on a photo or two it should help me out - and Insta doesn’t like one word comments because they think they’re bots. It’s a struggle working in this field because even though we’re here providing education and trying to help people to feel better about themselves, we face judgment and pushback at every turn. We live in a culture that is okay with depictions of gruesome violence or extreme risk taking and dangerous behaviour like shootouts, or high speed car chases, or war, but the mere mention of sex — which by the way is a the life-force that keeps our planet populated — freaks people out. I had a post reported on FB entitled 5 conversations to deepen the bond and connection in your relationship. FB said it violated their community standards. Yet I see posts that promote homophobia, transphobia, racism and misogyny every time I open my feed. Without sex you wouldn’t be here. Without sex, we wouldn’t have computers, we wouldn’t have surgical developments that save lives, we wouldn’t have the internet that keeps us connected. People developed these technologies and people are here because their parents had sex. This erotophobia not only affects my day-to-day life - I see it when people judge me when I walk in a room because of my work and I can’t wait until the day I stop caring and speak up, but more importantly our fear of sex affects the health and safety of every one of us. Because we don’t talk about sex with young people, we’re putting their lives at risk. Because research shows that sex education - talking about sex - is associated with improved academic achievement, greater gender equity, higher school attendance rates. Research shows that sex education is associated with suicide prevention. Research shows that sex education can dispel misinformation about sex spread by popular media. Done right, it can address the misogynist, ableist, ageist, classist, racist depictions of sex and relationships we see in popular media. Research shows that sex education can improve confidence, decrease abuse, and help people to live more fulfilling lives and have happier relationships. It reduces STI transmission and unplanned pregnancies by increasing the likelihood of delaying sex, using condoms and communicating about what you want and what you don’t want. But somehow, sex ed is framed as a controversial issue. A divisive issue. A political issue. But it’s not a matter of politics or opinion or religion — sex ed is a matter of life and death. So please support sex ed. Speak up. Follow and support sex educators. Help us get un-shadow banned. Rant over. ***

Without sex, we wouldn't have computers, we wouldn't have surgical developments that save lives, we wouldn't have the internet that keeps us connected. People developed these technologies and people are here because their parents had sex. This erotophobia not only affects my day-to-day life - I see it when people judge me when I walk in a room because of my work and I can't wait until the day I stop caring and speak up, but more importantly our fear of sex affects the health and safety of every one of us. Because we don't talk about sex with young people, we're putting their lives at risk. Because research shows that sex education - talking about sex - is associated with improved academic achievement, greater gender equity, higher school attendance rates. Research shows that sex education is associated with suicide prevention. Research shows that sex education can dispel misinformation about sex spread by popular media. Done right, it can address the misogynist, ableist, ageist, classist, racist depictions of sex and relationships we see in popular media. Research shows that sex education can improve confidence, decrease abuse, and help people to live more fulfilling lives and have happier relationships. It reduces STI transmission and unplanned pregnancies by increasing the likelihood of delaying sex, using condoms and communicating about what you want and what you don't want. But somehow, sex ed is framed as a controversial issue. A divisive issue. A political issue. But it's not a matter of politics or opinion or religion — sex ed is a matter of life and death. So please support sex ed. Speak up. Follow and support sex educators. Help us get un-shadow banned. Rant over. ***

Red and Hanifah welcome Marla Stewart from Velvet lips and Sex Down South. Together they go in about how to…

Jet Setting Jasmine and Marla Stewart will explore how an alternative approach to exposure therapy in the form of role-play and Kink can support healing of existing traumas. Revisiting past trauma, in the right context, allow a space where s/he has control over what happens and how the scene ends. Reframing and creating positive experiences in place of the negative provide a new opportunity to live free! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/sistersofsexuality/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/sistersofsexuality/support

Marla Stewart, a jack of all trades in the sex work community was in charge of all the fun I had the one weekend we spent in New Orleans. She's responsible for the hurricane I had, the walks on bourbon street, the karaoke nights, the absolute excitement of being in the kink BDSM dungeon and is very responsible for the hangovers thereafter. But she is also responsible for a big event that take place every year in Atlanta called Sex Down South. She shares with us why she does what she does and the reason behind her sex positive attitude in life. --------- P R O D U C E D B Y Karen kaz Lucas Co- produced by: Shiro Koinange --------- B U S I N E S S I N Q U I R I E S For business inquiries, please contact host@thespreadpodcast.com ---------- F I N D M E Instagram -https://www.instagram.com/thespreadpod/ https://www.instagram.com/karenkazlucas/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/thespreadpod/ https://www.facebook.com/karenkazlucas/ Twitter - https://twitter.com/thespreadpod https://twitter.com/Karenkazlucas Email - host@thespreadpodcast.com The Nairobi Flea market: @thenairobifleamarket ---------- O U R G U E S T S Find Marla: @velvetlipsatl @sexdownsouthatl @sdscon @1marlastewart velvetlipsllc.com Help Sex Down South here: - > Bit.ly/helpSDS sexdownsouth.com Events: https://www.hedonism.com/?gclid=CjwKCAjwhqXbBRAREiwAucoo-088HZReocq9SrUL_iO2ixmntCCgL8vYHEGfOjSssEPOLv_EJu9cNRoC4-kQAvD_BwE https://www.naughty-events.com/about-nin/ ---------- M U S I C Intro/ Outro: Expose Yourself - Sage Intro: Jeff Kaale (X I X X) - https://soundcloud.com/jeff-kaale Thank you all for the LOVE! xx
