Smells like the commodification of teen spirit! In this episode, we welcome beloved friend of the pod and returning guest Marshall Watson (he/him) to talk all about Nirvana and the grunge culture of the 90s.Together, Marcelle, Hannah, and Marshall dig into the anti-establishment ethos of Nirvana, the grunge genre as an act of musical resistance, and what happens once counter-culture becomes mainstream. To do this, they've obviously gotta dig into Adorno and Horkheimer's theory of the culture industry (and talk a little bit about Reagan, which they only do when Marshall is here…).If your young adult years were soundtracked to Nevermind or you just love railing against the mainstream, you're going to dig this episode.Related listening:Golden Girls x Sex Positivity with Marshall WatsonThe Craft x Feminist RageWorks Cited:Adorno, Theodore, and Max Horkheimer. 2019. “The Culture Industry: Enlightenment as Mass Deception,” in Philosophers on Film from Bergson to Badiou: A Critical Reader, ed.

Season 6, Episode 714: Building a Sex-Positive Community Through Multiple Ventures with guest Ms. Amanda   Websites  ⁠www.msamanda.net⁠    Studio ⁠www.kasbhstudios.com⁠  Main swinger page ⁠www.krazykasbh.com⁠  When Ms. Amanda describes her journey from camming to running Full Swap Radio and Kasbh Studio, she reveals something unexpected: excitement, not fear, fuels her work. This multifaceted creator has built an empire around authenticity in an industry often criticized for being artificial. Throughout the conversation, Ms. Amanda explains her approach to filming adult content with remarkable honesty. She manages her hormones strategically, rarely fakes scenes, and believes genuine reactions matter to audiences. (Her husband films most of her work, creating what she calls the ideal partnership.) She shares what makes someone truly successful in this unconventional career path. With a swinger event planned for Kansas City in January and legal brothel tours at the Love Ranch scheduled for summer, Amanda's calendar stays packed. Her podcast "Crazy Truth About Swinging" focuses on educational content about navigating the lifestyle community, emphasizing that practices from a decade ago no longer apply today. She's received an ASN award nomination, viewing recognition itself as meaningful regardless of winning. Despite elaborate consent forms varying across platforms like XHamster, Faphouse, and OnlyFans, Amanda operates her studio to guide aspiring performers through entering the industry. She stresses that chemistry and personality compatibility matter more than follower count or reputation, everyone starts somewhere. **Listen to discover how Amanda balances multiple business ventures while maintaining authenticity in every performance.** Topics: From Camming to Building a Swinger Empire Discussing Favorite Music and Film Acting Body Image and Self-Consciousness Editing Your Own Content and Self-Perception Communication and Preferences in Adult Content Career Longevity and Collaboration in Adult Content Husband Films and Performs in Collaborations Navigating Consent Forms and Platform Requirements Giving People a Chance to Grow Choosing Practical Outfits for Filming Breathing, Sounds, and Multiple Orgasms Sexuality Changes Throughout Our Lives Key takeaways: • **Authenticity and genuine connection outperform polished production** – Success in adult content creation depends on real human interaction and honest communication rather than technical perfection or unrealistic portrayals. • **The swinging community is growing in awareness but faces persistent social stigma** – Despite increased visibility, participants still encounter significant judgment, making privacy and discretion critical considerations for those involved. • **Excitement and live audience engagement drive motivation more than fear or taboo** – Content creators in this space are primarily motivated by the thrill of real-time interaction and genuine connection with audiences, not by transgressive appeal alone.   Ruan's Links, Newsletter Signup, Affiliate links and Deals:  PodNation Podcast Affiliate link, Get 15% OFF with code podna15 on Ryze Coffee at ⁠https://www.ryzesuperfoods.com/⁠ ⁠Support the show and get exclusive content⁠ Sign up for Ruan's Newsletters ⁠https://subscribepage.io/ruanwillow⁠ All Ruan's links and books: ⁠https://linktr.ee/RuanWillow⁠ Affiliate link, collect your body's health and sexual health info with a wearable device for men from Firm Tech 15% OFF with code ruan15 ⁠https://myfirmtech.com/ruanwillow⁠ BeeDee app. Enter the code ohfuckyeah on the Whips ('superlikes') page to get 1 free Whip, use my affiliate link to check out this app at ⁠https://beedee.app/?r=ohfuckyeah⁠ The Fantasy Box, where you can try out a similar fantasy in a box, or find a theme you like!

“Sex-positive” is a term that gets used a lot these days, but it doesn't always mean the same thing to everyone. Sometimes it's about sexual openness or enthusiasm, other times it's about respect for sexual diversity, and sometimes it's even used in coercive ways. In this episode, we explore what sex-positivity actually is, and what it isn't. I am joined once again by Dr. Carol Queen, the staff sexologist, Company Historian, and Curator of the Antique Vibrator Museum at Good Vibrations. A noted cultural sexologist whose work has been widely published, she’s written and edited several books, including The Sex & Pleasure Book: Good Vibrations Guide to Great Sex for Everyone. Some of the specific topics we explore in this episode include: What are the core features of sex-positivity? What are some common usages of the term that miss the mark? Why is it important to separate sex-positivity from things like sexual behavior, frequency, and identity? How can you recognize when sex-positivity is being used coercively rather than ethically? How can you apply sex-positive values in everyday life? You can click here to learn more about Dr. Carol Queen. Got a sex question?

Brian and Judson celebrate the victory of mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani and the fact that friend-of-the-podcast Brandon Kyle Goodman has extended their run in HEAUX CHURCH off-Broadway at Ars Nova through November 21. Brian raves about the Broadway play Liberation by Bess Wohl. Judson's trick is a treat on Halloween. Brian prepares for a sex party by listening back to his own advice on a previous episode and discovers he may, in fact, be vers. After listening to the Hookup of the Week, the two wax nostalgic for their younger years, hooking up in bars. ​They are then joined by comedian, writer, and actor Jay Jurden, whose debut television special, “Yes, Ma'am,” is now streaming on Hulu. Jay discusses the journey to getting “Yes, Ma'am” on screen, why it was important for the special to be so sex-positive, the necessity of stand-up for marginalized audiences, the new hour he is taking on his “Nothing Special" tour, his 14-year relationship with his now husband, identifying as bisexual, his former career as a personal trainer, his possible future on Broadway, and his deep, queer connection to Marvel's X-Men. ​To cap off the episode, Jay helps Brian and Judson respond to a Go Ask Your Dad question from a listener who is hurt after his partner declines his request for sex, only to go and have a repeat hookup with someone else. Find Jay Jurden on all social media platforms at @jayjurden and stream his debut special, “Yes, Ma'am” on Hulu now.

Diese Folge zum Beispiel hat mich sehr nachdenklich gemacht darüber, welche Rolle Sex in meinem Leben und in unserer Gesellschaft spielt. Maria Popov hat über diese Frage noch viel mehr nachgedacht als ich. Ihr kennt sie vielleicht als Moderatorin des funk-Kanals „Auf Klo“ oder des Nachfolge-Formats „Das letzte Gespräch“. Da führt sie mit großem Einfühlungsvermögen und scheinbar völlig ohne Scham Gespräche und erkundet Themen, die für andere ein Tabu sind – oder zumindest mit vielen Fragen und Unsicherheiten verbunden. Es geht um Sexualität, Geschlecht, Körper und immer auch um Beziehungen. Bei all der Offenheit hat Maria aber eine Sache lange geheim gehalten: Nämlich, dass sie selbst asexuell ist. Keinen Bock auf Sex hat. Bei Deutschland3000 spricht sie jetzt sehr offen darüber, wie sie das erkannt und warum sie lange damit gestruggelt hat. Maria hat mir erklärt, weshalb Labels wie “LGBTQIA” so wichtig sind und wie sie gleichzeitig so politisiert wurden, dass viele Feminist*innen heute müde sind. Ich hab in dieser Folge nicht nur ein paar neue Vokabeln gelernt, sondern auch einige überraschende Thesen mitgenommen – zum Beispiel, warum Sex Positivity nicht immer so positiv ist, und wieso offene Beziehungen vielleicht gar nicht so frei sind, wie es scheint. Hier kommt ‘ne gute Stunde mit Maria Popov. ►►► Deutschland3000 Instagram: @deutschland3000 https://www.instagram.com/deutschland3000 Maria Popov Instagram: @maria.popov/ https://www.instagram.com/maria.popov/ Eva Schulz Instagram: @evaschulz https://www.instagram.com/evaschulz/ ►►► Die Infos zum Konversationstherapieverbot gibt‘s hier: https://www.bundesgesundheitsministerium.de/konversionstherapienverbot.html Die Deutschland3000-Folgen bekommt ihr hier -> Margarete Stokowski: https://www.ardaudiothek.de/episode/urn:ard:episode:615331cc6605f4d2/ Phenix Kühnert: https://www.ardaudiothek.de/episode/urn:ard:episode:41bddc038fb55aac/ Julie Lepique: https://www.ardaudiothek.de/episode/urn:ard:episode:909b1767f182a988/ ►►► Redaktion: Merle Hömberg und Ruby-Ann Schwiethal Gäste-Management: Axel Schöning Produktion: Merle Hömberg und Axel Schöning Social Media: Kim Vanessa Schang und das Sounddesign kommt von Soundquadrat.

We're back to Biola this week...kinda. Yes, Lacey Bond attended that school and was a "good" christian woman who followed all the rules. But while there, she was encouraged to ask questions and think creatively. This would prove lethal to her closely held fundamentalist, purity culture-soaked faith. It would eventually lead her to question everything and being exploring her identity as a woman and a sexual being. And through a series of life events, Lacey became a licensed Sex and Relationship coach, specializing in kink and non-traditional relationships. Want to know how someone goes from Biola dream student to complete sex-positivity? Lacey's story is one example. And it's a great conversation.Lacey's website.Check out Lacey's survey she mentioned in the episode here.Chapel Probation is part of the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Dauntless Media Collective⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Dauntless Media Discord ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠for more conversation with all the podcast communities.Scott's book, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Asian-American-Apostate- Losing Religion and Finding Myself at an Evangelical University⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ is available now!Music by Scott Okamoto, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Jenyi⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Azeem Khan⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Shin Kawasaki⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Wingo Shackleford⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Chapel Probation Patreon ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to support Scott and for bonus content. Join the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Chapel Probation Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ group to continue the conversations.Follow Scott on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Bluesky⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Substack⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠You can subscribe to Scott's newsletter and learn more about the book, the blog, and performances at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠rscottokamoto.com⁠

What if the thing you're most afraid of… is the very key to your healing? In this powerful, raw, and eye-opening episode of the Sex and Bacon podcast, Sarah sits down with Mistress Mia Payne—owner of Pain With Purpose—for a deep dive into the healing side of BDSM. Together, they explore how kink can be a therapeutic tool for trauma recovery, emotional release, empowerment, and reconnecting with the body after pain. From confronting abuse triggers in a collar to understanding the difference between consensual pain and trauma reenactment, this conversation peels back the layers on what it really means to reclaim power through intentional BDSM. Mia shares the science behind “cellular memory,” the unexpected link between kink and spirituality, and how her clients—many of them high-powered men and trauma survivors—have transformed their lives through her work. Whether you're kink-curious, healing from trauma, or just ready to ditch shame and explore your full self—this episode offers a radically safe space to reimagine what power, submission, and self-trust can look like.

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).

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. Plus, before all of this, a Super Bowl prediction... after the Super Bowl!

Each of the girls, Rue McClanahan (Blanche Devereaux), Bea Arthur (Dorothy Zbornak), Estelle Getty (Sophia Petrillo) and Betty White (Rose Nylund) won Emmy's for their performances and more than three decades later, the show is still in syndication. All to say, the show was popular!

Patreon is how we produce the show and pay our team! Thanks again to all of you who have already made the leap to join us on Patreon.*** Material Girls is a show that aims to make sense of the zeitgeist through materialist critique* and critical theory! Each episode looks at a unique object of study (something popular now or from back in the day) and over the course of three distinct segments, Hannah and Marcelle apply their academic expertise to the topic at hand.*Materialist Critique is, at its simplest possible level, a form of cultural critique – that is, scholarly engagement with a cultural text of some kind – that is interested in modes of production, moments of reception, and the historical and ideological contexts for both. Materialist critique is really interested in the question of why a particular cultural work or practice emerged at a particular moment. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
