The Field Effect: Exploring Sexual Fluidity and Identity Transformation

This week on the show, I have a special treat for you: I’m speaking with the co-hosts of the Shameless Sex Podcast, which is one of the most-listened to sexuality podcasts in the world! They have just released a book that captures all of the wisdom they’ve accumulated on their podcast over the years. So we’re going to do a deep dive into it and teach you how to have shameless sex!

My guests are Amy Baldwin and April Lampert. Amy is a sex and relationship coach, as well as a certified sex educator. April is Vice President and co-owner of Hot Octopuss, an innovative pleasure product company. Together, Amy and April combined forces to create the Shameless Sex Podcast, and the brand new book Shameless Sex: Choose Your Own Pleasure Path to Unlock the Sex Life You’ve Been Waiting For.

Some of the topics we explore include:

• What does it mean to have “shameless sex”?
• Who is this book for, and what can readers hope to get out of it?
• If you’ve ever asked yourself “am I normal?” or “am I broken?” what do you need to know?
• What can you do when you and your partner feel like you’ve fallen out of synch in the bedroom?
• How can you communicate about sex with your partner in a healthy way?

Learn more about Amy and April on the Shameless Sex website.
