Lucie Fielding, author of Trans Sex: Clinical Approaches to Trans Sexualities and Erotic Embodiments, joins Sarah and Robin to dive into the concept of erotic embodiment. We explore Mary Poppins as a femme root, learn the term fluidic as an erotic experience, and discuss how the field of sex therapy is breaking out of some of it's puritanical underpinnings through the efforts of practitioners like Lucie (or Dr. Fielding, if you're nasty). Lucie also introduces us to the concept of gender pleasure and how it is taking shape in her work and delivers some expert tips on muffing that blow our minds.

This episode is rich with references (links below) from Lucie's intersecting experience as a writer, erotic literary scholar, sex therapist, and pleasure-affirming, somatic practitioner. Lucie Fielding, PhD, MA, LMHCA, Resident in Counseling (she/they) is a white, neurodivergent, queer, trans misogyny affected (TMA) femme, and a therapist practicing in Virginia and Washington (on Monacan lands and unceded Duwamish territory, respectively). They specialize in sex therapy, kink-knowledgeable therapy, 2SLGBTQIA-knowledgeable therapy, sex work-affirming therapy; and they work from narrative, imaginal, and somatic frameworks that honor the (intergenerational) wisdom of the body, promote community-care, and support empowered embodied eroticism. They are the author of Trans Sex: Clinical Approaches to Trans Sexualities and Erotic Embodiments (2021), which was awarded an AASECT Book Award in 2022 (Sexuality Professionals Category) and named a finalist for a 2022 Lambda Literary Award (Lammy) in the Transgender-Nonfiction category.
