Podcasts about sex positivity

Hey Straigtiolab Listeners, here's an episode of a new show, Silver Lining With The Old Gays, that we think you'll love. In today’s conversation, The Old Gays swing the closet door open on their coming out histories: from discovering their gay-hood and hard conversations with loved ones, to offering heartfelt advice for the next generation of LGBTQ+ folx. Whether inspired by underwear ads, Billy the Kid, or “sex with my psychologist,” their stories remind us that coming out isn’t defined by labeling your identity for others, but by the journey of personal discovery. New episodes drop every other Tuesday, listen and subscribe wherever you get podcasts. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We sat down with Amari, a UK-based sex coach and founder of two sex-positive businesses, to talk about the intersections of sexual health, mental health, and censorship. She shares her journey from sociology student to agency owner, how shadowbans really work, and why sex workers need to back up their Instagram accounts. We also get into personal kinks, like fantasizing about money, and the emotional reality of working in this space.Follow Amari at @sxcoachingbyamariHire Amari at @adminbyamari.agencyVisit Amari's website adminbyamariagency.comFollow AM at @amdavies_Follow Daisy at @daisyducatiSupport heauxprahs everywhere on yasstore.shopProduced by Makenzie Mizell

#Metoo brachte nicht nur eine neue Diskussion über Machtverhältnisse und Ra*e Culture, sondern auch eine neue Sexpositivity Bewegung. In dieser Zeit ging es viel um "female pleasure". Frauen wurden ermutigt, ihre eigene Lust abseits vom "Male Gaze" zu entdecken und auszudrücken - und vor allem sollte man sich von der vom Patriarchat auferlegten Scham befreien. Egal welche Kinks, Vorlieben, Gelüste man hatte - es war okay. Außerdem gewann die Pro-Sexwork Bewegung Momentum - die vierte feministische Welle machte sich für die Legalisierung von Sexarbeit stark. Die Zeichen standen auf Choice Feminism - mach, was du willst. Wo stehen wir heute in diesen Fragen, wo einerseits ein neuer Konservatismus Einzug hält, auf der anderen Seite Plattformen wie Onlyfans Sexarbeit maßgeblich verändert haben? Es scheint, als ob der Kampf gegen den Male Gaze aufgegeben wurde. Statt gegen ihn aufzubegehren, wird er einfach internalisiert und das Ausleben von Machtfantasien beim Sex normalisiert. In dieser Folge denken wir darüber nach, was von dem Sexpositivity Diskurs heute noch übrig ist, was er übersehen hat und warum auch in diesen Fragen Kapitalismus der Endgegner ist. Hört rein.

In It's Complicated, Meryl Streep is a thriving divorcée caught between her sleazy ex-husband and a soft-spoken architect. What starts as a steamy rekindling quickly turns into a chaotic spiral of questionable decision making. This week, we're unpacking what It's Complicated gets right about midlife sex, healing, and regret — and what it leaves out when it comes to agency and growth. Plus: how Nicoletta's real-life work with couples and families adds context to the emotional wreckage onscreen. GUEST DETAILS Nicoletta Heidegger, MA., MEd, is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Sexologist. She specializes in sex therapy as well as Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP).

Julie Herskin and Cecilie Hjermind, founders of the sex wellness brand Sitre, are changing how we view intimacy, self-care, and sexual wellness. With their personal experiences and innovative approach, they share how they aim to break down the shame and negative body image often linked to intimacy products.The conversation touches on personal experiences, the stigma surrounding intimate products, and how design plays a role in shifting cultural narratives.Julie and Cecilie emphasize that intimacy can take many forms, from a hug to a meaningful conversation, all of which promote feelings of connection and release of oxytocin. They bring a broader view of intimacy and through their products they encourage people to check in with themselves, to understand their emotions and desires, and to build deeper, more meaningful connections. Sitre is about creating a new culture around intimacy—one that's inclusive, open, and free from shame. Cecilie and Julie explain that the goal is to offer products that promote self-care and intimacy as integral parts of overall well-being, while challenging outdated and narrow views of what intimacy should look like. By making products that feel like part of a wellness routine, Sitre aim to make intimacy more accessible, comfortable, and empowering for everyone. I hope you're feeling inspired, cause we're rooting for you!xx Julie—-Cecilie and Julie would like to “pass on the goodwill” to founder of suncare brand Lerub @kimmaes and co-founder of outdoor skincare brand Gun Ana @kajsaregnerKeep up with Sitre:Instagram: @feelsitreShop online: Sitrestore.comEditorial universe: feelsitre.com Keep up with The Female Effect:

She's the name on everybody's lips... but what does the rise of Bonnie Blue tell us about societal double standards? In a society that is increasingly sex positive, it seems that opinions differ amongst the A Gay And A NonGay community. Dan (representing the NonGays) feels like maybe this has all gone too far... whilst James (representing the Gays) believes that the outrage exposes some hypocrisy in society. Through-out the debate, both James and Dan grapple with their own opinions and shed light on the broader implications of sexual freedom and stigma.

Do you have any questions, any comments about the episode? Jimanekia would love to hear from you!Exploring the life and work of a transformative therapist, this narrative unveils the story of Kate Loree, a sex-positive therapist dedicated to helping others find healing and connection. Through her advocacy for marginalized communities, including the kink community, non-monogamous individuals, sex workers, and LGBTQ+ people, Kate brings a compassionate, socially conscious approach to therapy. Her practice integrates a unique blend of social justice, art therapy, trauma work, and psychedelic healing, where tools like ketamine therapy reveal new dimensions of self-discovery and healing.Kate's journey began in her childhood, navigating a landscape marked by bigotry and sexual shame. Moving from Oregon to Alabama, she grappled with cultural stigmas, which ultimately shaped her path towards a career focused on trauma, creativity, and embracing diverse identities. These experiences have uniquely prepared her to help others overcome similar challenges, using her own life's hurdles as a guiding light.In this candid conversation, Kate opens up about her personal experiences with metastatic cervical cancer, a reality that—even in remission—impacts her daily life. She shares her reliance on meditation, exercise, and a deep connection to source energy, tools that help her find balance in the face of life's uncertainties. We delve into her philosophy on self-care, the power of setting boundaries, and how navigating the healthcare system as a patient with a serious illness has sharpened her understanding of systemic inequalities.As the conversation unfolds, Kate highlights the beauty of synchronicity and divine connection in her life and work. With a sense of wonder, she describes the grounding joy she finds in life's small and grand moments alike—whether in her connection to ancestral wisdom, nature, or the universe's subtle interconnections. This journey is as much about embracing gratitude and healing as it is about celebrating life's marvels. Join us for an inspiring exploration of resilience, self-compassion, and the profound impact of choosing joy amidst adversity.Thank you all for listening. Set a boundary with yourself this week, set a boundary with someone else. If someone else does not respect that boundary. LET THEM LOOSE YOU! Stay hydrated internally and externally. We do not have an ashy family.IG: @The_Trauma_WithinYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@thetraumawithinJimanekia Ig: @Jimanekia

Help couples understand the importance of balancing the need for individual autonomy and relational connection that can often feel contraindicated. Learn to move from “ownership” models of sexuality to “partnership” models of sexuality. Guide couples through agreement work based on principles of sexual and marital health (honesty, shared values, transparency, and differentiation). Begin repairing trust and building a relationship where relational, erotic sexuality can flourish if that's what both partners want moving forward.

Dr. Nicole's philosophy is consistent with a nationally general movement called 'Sex Positivity'. We're so used to hearing about the risks and dangers associated with sex yet there are so many diverse and wonderful things to celebrate! Sex positivity encourages safety but also highlights sexual pleasure. It embraces LGBTQI+ identities and issues. It rejects shame and stigma and it acknowledges that our sexuality feeds into the very essence of our self-identity and happiness. Beyond this, however, I have found that to be truly sex-positive, sex education must be empowering. It has to be collaborative, NOT authoritative to promote trust and a free exchange of ideas.
