What's a Kinky Switch? w/ Queen Ana Blue - 213

  Curious about the role of a switch in kink & BDSM? Some say switches are really just confused doms or subs that haven’t figured out their true identity yet. Others believe they’re less skilled and aren’t as dedicated to exclusively topping or bottoming. In this episode, Queen Anas Blue busts these myths and gets deep into the switchy nitty-gritty. Some of the topics we cover:

Switching styles & traits

Switch erasure

Switch drop 

Challenges cis men face embracing their switchy side

Overcoming switch imposter syndrome & more

Guest Bio – Queen Ana Blue 

Queen Ana Blue identifies as a Pansexual, Sadomasochistic, Black, Leather, and a Polyplayer. She is a Pro-Dominantrix and Lifestyle Switch. As a Professional BDSM worker, Queen Ana Blue enjoys creating personalized scenes where people can live out their desired fantasies and feel accepted and heard. As a Lifestyle Switch, she enjoys the connection and vulnerability involved in exploring all sides of the slash with her partners.

Queen Ana enjoys teaching because she enjoys talking to people and helping others feel welcome and safe. BDSM education should not be a secret and she excels at making people feel accepted, important, and at helping people understand they have power and beauty, no matter what side of the slash they may be on in their kinky journey.

#Repost @sunnymegatron Just go to her profile for clickable links - and follow her while you’re there! Because your #AuntieMidori said so ・・・ Episode 72 of @AmericanSexPodcast is here! Great sex and mind-blowing kink must include clear communication and thorough negotiation. Sometimes, however, the process can seem impersonal and not very sexy. In this episode, @planetmidori teaches us surefire techniques for laying groundwork before a sexy scene that don’t feel like negotiation at all. She explains her signature engaged collaborative consent model, gives specific steps for flirtatious negotiation, and offers tips for cultivating “Queen of the Starfish” moments. She also busts myths about what aftercare should entail, explains the brain chemistry behind sub drop and top drop, introduces us to BYOA, and details how to get the aftercare you want whether you’re submissive or dominant. Yes, Doms need aftercare too! This is a must listen for everyone no matter where you are on the kinky spectrum. Sunny & Ken also prepare for their holiday hiatus and a life-changing adventure. ° ° Get the episode here: http://sunnymegatron.com/hotter-negotiation-midori-podcast/ (link in bio) ° ° Please subscribe so you never miss an episode! itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/american-sex/id1269884261?mt=2 ° ° Wanna win a We-Vibe Discover Gift Box & other goodies valued at $350 from @Babeland_Toys + help out American Sex Podcast?

For your pandemic listening pleasure: Cecilia Tan on the American Sex Podcast

Nothing beats talking about my specialties–sex, erotica, and science fiction, as well as Harry Potter and tea–with some true connoisseurs: Sunny Megatron and Ken Melvoin Berg, the hosts of the American Sex Podcast. They had me over (virtually of course) to chat about how I became the maven of erotic science fiction in the 1990s and what I’m up to now. Besides stress-baking my way through the pandemic, that is.

We talked about the olden days of Usenet, and how when I started writing and publishing people in publishing had this weird belief that you couldn’t put sex and science fiction together or, I dunno, the world would end or something. (It didn’t.) I think we also talked about my most recent Kickstarter, but that’s done with now, so just pretend you’re a time-traveler when you’re listening to that bit, all right?

The episode is available just about everywhere your favorite podcasts may be: iTunes, Google Play, Pandora, Stitcher, iHeartRadio, Spotify. You can find out more at http://americansexpodcast.com/

There’s also bonus content only available to subscribers to the American Sex Patreon: http://patreon.com/americansex In the bonus content I tell the story of how “research” into one of my erotica short stories in the 90s went all wrong and how I almost, but did not, go to the emergency room…

I’ll be sharing that bonus file with my own patrons as well, so if you’ve been thinking about backing me as an author on Patreon, now might be a good time for that? Now that the Daron’s Guitar Chroncles serial is over, my Patreon is a more general support place for those who believe in my mission of passionate fiction and never skipping the sex for the sake of “society.” Grin. (I’m going to share some sneak peeks of my current novel in progress soon, as well, now that it’s starting to gel a bit.) My patreon: http://patreon.com/ceciliatan

Mental Health & Polyamory with Kate Loree - 208

Sex-positive psychotherapist, Kate Loree joins us to talk about managing mental health within polyamory and consensual non-monogamy -- specifically how mood and personality disorders like anxiety, depression, BPD, NPD, etc., can impact these relationships. According to NAMI  one in five American adults experienced mental illness in 2020. When we combine this with consensual non-monogamy (CNM), things can become even more complex. As Kate points out, CNM tends to poke at unresolved attachment injuries more than is typical in monogamous relationships plus polyamory involves more people which means there’s more to navigate. While this conversation is geared toward non-monogamous relationships, the strategies Kate discusses can be adapted to various relationship styles, including kink dynamics and monogamous relationships.

Kate Loree, LMFT Bio

Kate Loree, LMFT, is a sex-positive licensed marriage and family therapist with a specialty in non-monogamous, kink, LGBTQ, and sex worker communities. She is also the author of Open Deeply: A Guide to Building Conscious, Compassionate Open Relationships.

Ask Yourself About Consent with Kitty Stryker - 207

As a culture, we’ve come a long way in our understanding of consent. It’s discussed in schools, on TV shows, and in popular media. But through this mainstreaming of consent, we’ve also lost some important nuance along the way. 

This conversation with Kitty Stryker is all about that nuance.  From the complexities of consent within various power dynamics to the ways it shows up in every relationship, consent situations seem to be everywhere. Kitty lays down frameworks to help us reevaluate our personal relationships with consent and use what we learn to strengthen our bonds with friends, family, co-workers, romantic partners, and more.   

Kitty Stryker Bio

Kitty Stryker is the author of "Ask Yourself: The Consent Culture Workbook" and the editor of "Ask: Building Consent Culture", both from Thornapple Press. She was among the first to coin the term "consent culture", writing in 2010 about the radical act of defining what you want to move towards instead of just what to avoid. A queer nerd, an asexual sex worker, an anarchist journalist; Kitty is often found blurring the edges of communities to forge coalitions and welcome more people in. She aspires to be Baba Yaga when she grows up.

Racial Inequity, BIPOC Sexuality & The Pleasure Revolution with Dr. Candice Nicole Hargons - Ep 201

  Dr. Candice Nicole Hargons joins us for a conversation about the ways racial inequity hurts the sex lives of BIPOC folks. Although many view sex as an escape from the stresses of real-world issues and a common experience we all share -- it’s not that simple. Orgasms are not the great equalizer. Political, cultural, and systemic societal forces have everything to do with the ways we experience pleasure. Some of what we unpack in this episode: 

  How the belief that only men who have money deserve sex impacts BIPOC communities

The importance of distinguishing between pleasure worthiness & entitlement

Why sex ed in schools & adult pleasure education are key

Tips for navigating cultural pressures in relationships while prioritizing pleasure, boundaries & survival

Why good sex can be an act of revolution & resistance

How race, capitalism, and sex intersect in complex ways

What we can do as allies & PoC to shift the culture, subvert systems & more

  Guest Bio – Dr. Candice Nicole Hargons

Dr. Candice Nicole Hargons is an award-winning associate professor of counseling psychology at the University of Kentucky, where she studies sexual wellness and liberation. She is the host of F*ck the System: A Sexual Liberation Podcast and How to Love a Human, a liberation podcast that asks people with multiple marginalized identities what the world would be like if it loved them. She has published over 50 research articles and has been featured in the Huffington Post, the APA Monitor, Good Housekeeping, Women's Health, Blavity, Cosmopolitan, and the New York Times.

How to Love Yourself with Lee Harrington - Ep 205

Most of us know how important things like self-care, self-compassion, and self-love are. But knowing and doing can sometimes be two different things. Lee Harrington not only talks about why these things are so vital but also teaches us HOW to do them. Lee walks us through forging the path to self-forgiveness, compassion, care, healthy boundary setting, and becoming our own beloved through self-courtship and deepening our most important relationship -- the one we’re in with ourselves. As a bonus for kinky folks, the tools Lee lays out can easily be adapted to your self-collaring journey too. And as a bonus for everyone, this process not only helps strengthen your relationship with yourself, it can help you become a better friend or partner to others too.
