Podcasts about sex positive portland

Have you ever let your tongue finish the dance that your ass began? Podcaster & Sex and Intimacy coach Leah Carey has never believed that great sex was something she deserved, but as she begins to seek out sensual, kinky live events in her local community, she meets a man who makes her feel safe enough to try new things. Together, they set a boundary and WOW, who knew it could be so hot to have someone tell you No when you begged for it? And the time is now: Pitch Dixie your true story for our just announced East Coast Tour dates. Are you ready to get onstage (and get a standing ovation!) in 2024?   Song: ‘All the Good Girls Go To Hell' (Billie Eilish)   Submission l BDSM l Sensual l Food Play l Boundaries l Massage a Trois  | Erotic Massage l Sex Positive l Good Girl l Fantasies l Older Man l Masculine Energy l Obey l Discipline | Celibate l Sexual Awakening l Triad l Energy Exchange l Coconut Oil I Confined Space l Massage Table l Ass to Ass Flirtation l Sex Positive Portland l Blindfold l Chocolate l Dominant l Kissing l Negotiation l PIV l P/V l Intercourse | Begging l Multiple Orgasms l First Date l Condoms l Afterglow l Hair Pulling l Control l Expansive l Brat Play l Right or Wrong l Pleasure l   About our Storyteller:   Leah Carey is a Sex and Intimacy coach and the host of the podcast “Good Girls Talk About Sex.” This work was not an obvious life choice for Leah.  Growing up with an abusive father, she learned to be a VERY “good girl,” which translated into significant sexual repression as an adult. Always convinced that she was the problem – not pretty enough, smart enough, or sexually skilled enough - she dreamed of great sex but assumed she would never experience it. At age 43, life threw Leah an opportunity to challenge her old beliefs and finally move her beyond the mythology of the “Good Girl.”   Listen to the Good Girls Talk About Sex podcast and learn more at www.LeahCarey.com   Episode links: Needle Play Acupuncture: Needle Play Acupuncture was made by and for the Kink, Leather, and LGBTQIA+ communities.

While she came to me originally to promote the Pleasure Bound tour of presenting workshops in a bunch of places across the US, we had such a great time chatting and vibing that I’m sure you will enjoy it even though The Pleasure Bound Tour, may sadly be over or almost over by the time you hear this. But we go on to discuss some of the many classes she offers, a little bit about her Pro Domme work, and more! We talk about:Sissyfication, why some trans people don’t approve of it Boot Blacking, and the love of leather Hucow play, which has lots of intricacies and is something I didn’t even know existedCreating Community Accessibility The epidemic of loneliness affecting people, especially cis menProfessional Domination To learn more about Lady V please visit her webpage: https://ladyvivus.com/ She is Lady_Vivus on Fetlife Also, be sure to learn more about Sex Positive World at: https://www.sexpositiveworld.org/ Sex Positive Portland is at: https://www.sexpositiveportland.org/ You can also listen to my interview with the Executive Director, Jamie Cawelti which is Episode 42: https://earthlydesire.com/podcast/episode-42-jamie-cawelti-of-sex-positive-world/ Please visit the podcast website at whatexcitesus.com Or the Patreon at patreon.com/whatexcitesusPlease Rate and Review the podcast in all the apps you have!

Davina Bookbinder is a 33-year-old, transgender woman who describes herself as white, Jewish, queer, polyamorous and actively dating. Major themes in this episode include being transgender, discovering and navigating gender identity, and sex as a trans woman. This episode is extra long because there's just SOOOO much great material!  Davina is a good friend and she and I have had long conversations about gender in general and her gender in particular.  It is because she and I have developed a foundation of trust that I'm able to ask questions that we wouldn't normally ask.  PLEASE KNOW that many of the questions I ask in this interview are NOT questions that are appropriate to ask a trans person in regular conversation.  But that's true of all the conversations on this show, right?!?  I ask deeply personal questions that you would never think to ask someone at a dinner party.  The problem for trans people is that there is such curiosity around their bodies and their genitals that people end up believing they're allowed to ask those questions at the dinner party. So consider this your opportunity to listen in on the questions you WISH you could ask - yes, we talk about having sex as a trans person and how it works.  Yes, we talk about the current state of her genitals and how she likes them to be interacted with.  And yes, we talk about the intersection of mental health and being transgender. Many, many thanks to Davina for showing up and being willing to have this conversation.  I love you, girl! You can find Davina at www.therebelliousjewess.com and on Instagram at @therebelliousjewess. Davina is also the Programming Director for Sex Positive Portland.   Here are some of the great moments she shared with us: 4:30 – Davina’s early sexual experiences with both genders 7:50 – The difference she felt between physical pleasure with boys, emotional connection with girls 12:20 – Davina’s early experience with porn 14:40 – How gender norms impacted Davina’s recognition of being trans 18:20 – Davina’s feelings about being in male settings 20:40 – The nail polish blow up 24:50 – Discovering her gender identity and getting divorced 26:30 – Diving into therapy around gender identity 34:50 – Gender and the brain 36:45 – Davina talks about having top surgery 40:10 – Waiting for bottom surgery 42:30 – Her body in gender transition and how it has affected her sexuality and orgasm 46:00 – Terminology for genitalia in transition, function, sexual pleasure 55:20 – Going through multiple puberties 56:45 – The positive impact of transition in every area of Davina’s life   The Quick 5: 50:17 - Do you have sex during a partner’s period? 50:28 - Have you ever felt a sexual urge that confused you? 52:57 - What kind of touch do you enjoy the most? 53:37 - Are there sexual things you’ve tried that you never want to do again? 54:25 - How often do you masturbate?   The Patreon extras for this episode are: AVAILABLE TO EVERYONE – Davina talks about dysphoria and about the intersection of the transgender community and mental health issues At the $1/month level, Davina talks about gender norms and her desire for things that are considered feminine when she was a child At the $5/month level, Davina discusses the ins and outs of gender confirmation surgery (also known as top and bottom surgery) At the $7/month level, all that PLUS the extended Q&A!

In this episode of Good Girls Talk About Sex, we talk with Yaz, a 30-year-old who describes herself as half-Persian/half-European, polyamorous, and single.
