The internet was built off women's labor. Will it ever pay them back?From the creation of Google Images to the overlooked - or criminalized - digital labor of sex workers, the internet has been built on the intellect, image, and likeness of women. So where does that leave us in a rapidly changing digital environment where algorithms, AI, and even beauty filters distort our reality?To answer these questions, Brittany is joined by artist and UCLA professor Mindy Seu. Her books, Cyberfeminism Index and A Sexual History of the Internet, uncover the desire at the foundation of the internet's inception and how the exploitation of marginalized creators has consequences for us all.Support Public Media. Join NPR Plus.Follow Brittany on Instagram: @bmluseFor handpicked podcast recommendations every week, subscribe to NPR's Pod Club newsletter at npr.org/podclub.See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy

Open Forum: Pastor Amos introduced a new Faith in Action discipleship group starting in June and meeting on Mondays from 7:30–9 PM EST. He also announced a focus on building joyful marriages on Sundays, following his previous teachings on divorce and remarriage. The group engaged in a heartfelt discussion about navigating friendships affected by differing beliefs, especially concerning same-sex unions. Jovanna and Doyin shared personal experiences of strained relationships, while Pastor Amos encouraged maintaining biblical convictions without legitimizing sin, yet keeping the door open for reconciliation. The conversation shifted to social media, where Doyin and Tyesha raised concerns about the imbalance in addressing women's versus men's accountability. Pastor Amos explained his intentional strategy of alternating focus and how social media algorithms often favor controversial topics involving women. Transparency before marriage was emphasized, with Pastor Amos urging individuals to disclose their full past early in dating to prevent future marital issues. The emotional impact of past relationships on men was discussed, highlighting the need for open communication. The group also explored healing generational patterns, prayer and intimacy in dating, and the theology of marriage as a covenant. LaToya shared reflections on marriage rooted in biblical love and sacrifice.   Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com                  

Sexual History and Marriage: Does Virginity Still Matter Today?

This week on Sex With Emily, we're tackling one of the most harmful and outdated questions in modern dating: "What's your body count?" In conversation with holistic psychologist and trauma expert Dr. Scott Lyons, we explore the troubling origins of this term, once used to count military casualties, and how it's been repurposed to judge sexual history, often unfairly targeting women. We unpack the double standards rooted in purity culture, the insecurities this question provokes, and the shame it can breed in both high and low numbers. More importantly, we discuss why the number of sexual partners has nothing to do with sexual skill, emotional readiness, or compatibility. #intimacy #love #relationships Timestamps: 00:00:00 - Body Count: A Sex-Positive Discussion 00:03:00 - Judging Past Relationships 05:51 - Body Count & Insecurities 08:24 - Why Judging is Wrong 10:46:38 - Historical Shame Roots 13:22 - Societal Shame & Body Count 15:47 - Regrets & Sexual Experiences 18:13 - Reframing the Conversation 22:44:04 - Ditching the Question 25:38 - Addressing Relationship Insecurities 37:53 - Pleasure, Goodbyes & Outro If you're 21+, try VIIA!

American history is kinkier than you think.

The history of sexuality in America is not as straightforward as it might seem. Rebecca L. Davis, professor of history at the University of Delaware, joins host Krys Boyd to discuss how gender has determined roles regardless of someone's sexuality, why the Puritans weren't so prude, and how our views changed in the 21st Century. Her book is “Fierce Desires: A New History of Sex and Sexuality in America.”

Last episode we invited listeners to have a candid conversation with their partners about emotions and how your family  expressed emotions. This week on our latest lesson in the 'school of love,' we are talking about how to have positive conversations about your sexual history. As therapists, we gather this information and call it a sexual assessment. The funny thing is, it's not all about sex! We are curious to learn about touch you experienced in life, how affection was displayed and how the family talked about sex or bodies. Touch is vital to human survival and it's important to gather that key information. Sometimes we work with individuals that grew up in emotionally disconnected houses but physical affection was fine to express. Other times we find that physical affection was not given and individuals have to shut down that need to be touched or held very early on. We hope that this episode will induce a conversation between partners to learn more about your earlier experiences with touch and sexuality. Grab your notepads, students and write down the following to get you started: What was touch like in your family? How did your family/peer group talk about sexuality and puberty? What were your first sexual experie nces like? How do you like to be touched? As always, keep it hot y'all!  Check out our sponsors!

In this show, the boys tackle a couple of subjects...Firstly, they discuss the problem in Japan where there is a spate of involuntary euthanasia which is resulting in people needlessly dying and others committing suicide as a result. It is a tragic situation and we discuss whether what is happening there could happen here in the West.Secondly, they discuss whether knowing your partner's past sexual history is important or not.But what are your thoughts on any of these subjects? Do you agree with Tony or Tayo, or do you have different views?Tune in and listen to the discussion - and please let us have your comments on these subjects.Although we much prefer effusive praise

“What is self-compassion? Self-compassion means that we treat ourselves just as gently as we would a friend. We recognize that we're feeling down, and are mindful about alleviating that pain. That might mean easing our expectations, doing something nice for ourselves, or validating our own emotions. When we're self-compassionate, self-forgiveness comes much more easily. That's because we're able to put our failures into perspective. We recognize that while we may have disappointed ourselves in some way, it's not because we are inherently bad or incapable people. Parents are often taught to separate their children from their behavior. Kids need to know that they are loved unconditionally, no matter what they do. Mindful parenting experts encourage parents to say “I don't necessarily love what you did, but I love you, and we can fix it.” This attitude of self-parenting can help us begin to develop self-compassion. Self-forgiveness is an action that we take to release the pain of an embarrassing or distressing situation. But self-compassion is a way of being. We can be compassionate with ourselves every single day, and we may find that we have less and less to forgive.” -https://www.betterup.com/blog/how-to-forgive-yourself?hs_amp=true --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/antonio-myers4/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/antonio-myers4/support

Earlier this year, I taught a study abroad course on sex and culture in Berlin. As part of that trip, we took a three-hour guided tour on Berlin's sexual history, and it was fascinating! I wanted to share what we learned with you, so I invited our wonderful tour guide onto the show to give us the highlight reel. In this episode, we're going to chat about the roots of Berlin's sexual liberation, which trace back more than a century. We'll also discuss the history of sex research and therapy in Germany, which is equally fascinating. My guest is Jeff Mannes, a social scientist, speaker, tour guide, sex educator, and freelance writer living in Berlin. Since 2018, he has been running his critically acclaimed guided tour "Berlin's History of Sex" in Augmented Reality. This year, he launched additional guided tours on "The Story of Berlin's Clubs" and "Berlin's Queer & Trans History." Some of the topics we explore include: How can Berlin's modern reputation for sex-positivity be traced back to the Roaring 20s? Who was Magnus Hirshfeld, and why is he a pivotal figure in the history of sex? How did the Nazis' rise to power alter the sexual landscape in Germany? How did the post-WWII era shift towards sex-positivity in Berlin? Are attitudes towards sex in Berlin becoming more conservative today? To learn more, check out Jeff's Berlin Guide website for information on all of his tours. Thank you to our sponsors!

The United States has become the world's most adamant promoter of what is now called “gender-affirming care” for children and adolescents who identify as being other than their born sex. This approach ranges from “social affirmation”—the use of preferred pronouns, for example—to “medical affirmation,” such as puberty blocking, to radical “surgical affirmation,” meaning mastectomies, facial feminization or masculinization cosmetic procedures, and, in a few cases, even genital removal and refashioning. Beginning to “transition” youth while they are still immature remains intensely controversial. But the increasingly woke medical establishment and Biden administration claim that the gender-affirming approach is “settled science” and the only efficacious approach to treating these children, calling those who disagree “science deniers.” My expert guest today says not so fast. Psychiatrist Stephen B. Levine has co-authored an important paper that details the paucity of reliable data establishing the benefits gender transitioning during a patient's youth, calling into significant question the current approach to caring for anguished children diagnosed with gender dysphoria. Stephen B. Levine is a psychiatrist known for his work in human sexuality, particularly, sexual dysfunction and transgenderism. Levine earned his MD from Case Western Reserve School of Medicine and serves as a Clinical Professor of Psychiatry there. He was co-editor for the section on sexual and gender identity disorders in the professional text Treatments of Psychiatric Disorders. Although much of his work is written for other clinicians, Levine has also written books for a lay audience, including Solving Common Sexual Problems and Sexuality in Mid-Life (2004). Levine also served on the American Psychiatric Association DSM-IV Subcommittee on Gender Identity Disorders.

From a woman's perspective, a man's emphasis on her sexual history may be somewhat baffling. After all: that was then, and this is now. What does what I did before we met have anything to do with our current relationship? A lot, it turns out. In this episode, I will help women understand why men tend to place so much importance on women's previous sexual behavior with other men. Thinking of going to grad school?

Although the modern sex doll industry largely caters to straight men, a growing number of heterosexual women are getting in on the action by purchasing male sex dolls. Sex dolls for women have actually been around for more than a half-century, but they've changed quite a bit over the years. So who are the women buying male sex dolls? What are their reasons for purchasing them, and are they meeting women's needs? And why is there so much stigma around sex doll ownership? Let's talk about it! I am joined once again by Hallie Lieberman, a sex historian and journalist. She is also author of the book Buzz: A Stimulating History of the Sex Toy, which we discussed back in episode 21 of this show. Some of the topics we discuss include: The history of male sex dolls (it all started with "Big John!"). How many women have ever used a sex doll, and how much these dolls cost. What male sex dolls tend to look like. Women's reasons for buying sex dolls and how they're similar/different compared to men. Whether sex dolls are effective at satisfying sexual and other needs. Why sex dolls are more stigmatized than vibrators and dildos. The future of sex dolls for women.

Tonight's conversation is about our sexual past and what we should/shouldn't share about it. Tune in and feel free to comment!

In this episode, Tracey and Kelsey discuss these three anonymous questions:1) I'm 36 and have been married for nine years. I'm sick to death of being pestered for sex by my husband. He wants sex all the time and gets angry or sulks when I don't give in. I've tried telling him that being hassled makes me want sex less, not more, but he doesn't listen. Our sex is okay, but it's always about his pleasure. We have sex about four times a week which is more than enough for me. How can I stop him behaving like this?2) I'm intrigued by anal play but haven't a clue where to start, how to suggest it to my partner, or what to do. Also, how do I make it clear to him that this doesn't mean I want anal intercourse? My boyfriend is keen to try that, but I'm not. A friend did it and said it really hurt. Any tips?3) I am 16 years old and have never done anything — not a first kiss, no talking to guys, and I've never been in a relationship. I'm wondering, how I am supposed to manage in the future with no experience? Do you guys have tips on how to stop comparing myself to other girls that have had sex or are in relationships and for me not to feel like an outcast?To have Tracey and Kelsey discuss YOUR secret sex question, enter it anonymously at https://bit.ly/3C4AelUWant a copy of Tracey's book, Great Sex Starts at 50?

The fourth installment in our series on trichomoniasis (“trich”) infections focuses on the psychosocial impact of trich. In our conversation with Ina Park, MD, we explore common questions that emerge following a trich diagnosis including how long may one have had the infection before it was detected, what partners need to know in terms of testing and treatment, and how patients and health professionals alike can become empowered to discuss sexual health including testing for STIs like trich.

Episode Description: Religious and spiritual diversity is not always welcomed, or even tolerated, in healthcare. In our talk with Chaplain Ermanno Willis, we learn how vital it is to include a patient's spiritual beliefs into their care, and how to go about doing this using validated tools to collect a patient's Spiritual History, just like their Social or Sexual History. We also discuss the importance of creating a learning/work environment that allows for a diversity of belief systems among healthcare providers themselves.Learning Objectives:1. Summarize the evidence showing that many more patients want their spiritual lives addressed by their healthcare providers than are currently being addressed.2. Describe evidence-based examples of the positive impacts of religion and spirituality on health.3. Identify the steps of one of the validated tools for collecting a patient's Spiritual History (just like the Social and Sexual History).4. Assess how implicit biases contribute to how (un)welcoming learning and work environments are toward differing religious/spiritual belief systems.Show notes & Transcript available:https://www.thedeishift.com/episode-10.htmlTwitter: @thedeishiftInstagram: @thedeishiftWebsite: https://www.thedeishift.com/E-mail: thedeishift@gmail.comCredits:Guest: Mr. Ermanno WillisCo-hosts/Producers: Dr. Maggie Kozman, Dr. Brittane ParkerExecutive Producer: Dr. Tammy Lin Co-Executive Producers: Dr. Pooja Jaeel, Dr. Tiffany LeungSenior Producers: Dr. Maggie Kozman, Dr. DJ GainesEditor/Assistant Producer: Deepti YechuriProduction Assistants: Clara Baek, Lynn NguyenWebsite/Art Design: Ann TruongMusic: Chris Dingman
