American Sex

Humans crave belonging, it’s even smack dab in the middle of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. This week, Dixie De La Tour of Bawdy Storytelling tells us about her years of building community. We learn how acknowledging your authentic self through community changes your self-perception; self-talk transforms from “it was all my fault, I’m a horrible person” to “I'm ok, I did the best I could, I’m not alone.” We touch on the power of vulnerability, cultivating empathy, and finding the courage to tell the stories people really want and need to hear. You’ll learn how to find community in unlikely places no matter where or how you live and why connecting with others in a non-sexual way is essential in sexual subcommunities. A supportive community is not only life-changing, it can also be lifesaving. Dixie also shares a powerful story about how the community she built and her use of the word “vagina” in that community not only healed trauma for an entire family but stopped a habitual abuser from continuing to commit unthinkable crimes.     Submit your BDSM & sex advice questions by email to americansexpodcast@gmail.com To support American Sex podcast, please visit patreon.com/americansex (plus you’ll get all episodes early, secret episodes, bonus stories from guests, on-air shout-outs, stuff in the mail & more!)

On ep 101 of American Sex, we talk swinging with Dee and Laydee Vee. They answer common questions about the lifestyle-- how do you meet people, what’s the etiquette of attending parties, what do all the acronyms mean, how do you combat jealousy, what are the best ways to start exploring opening your relationship, what are the differences between being a swinger/open/polyamory and do folks that identify differently play well together? We discuss the nuances of swinging in the African American community-- what’s up with the swing lifestyle being so overwhelmingly white, in what areas is that different, and why? Is it true that bias against bisexual men in the lifestyle is more pronounced in black spaces? Dee and Vee also dive into one of their favorite activities, facesitting-- what it’s about smothering, cunnilingus or both? What's the psychology behind it? What’s the proper preparation and technique for the act?  Submit your BDSM & sex advice questions by email to americansexpodcast@gmail.com To support American Sex podcast, please visit patreon.com/americansex (plus you’ll get all episodes early, secret episodes, bonus stories from guests, on-air shout-outs, stuff in the mail & more!)

Amp Somers from Watts The Safe Word discusses sex-positive content creation. We talk: the rewards & difficulties of being a Youtuber, why demonetization and censorship have snowballed, and how the mark of Youtube success has changed over the years. Amp discusses other platforms too-- how people are bullying adult creators on Instagram under the guise of ‘indecency’, the age-old question of where to draw the line between art and pornography, plus SESTA/FOSTA and other factors creating the perfect storm of internet censorship across platforms like Patreon, Twitter, etc. We also learn what we can do to personally combat internet censorship (yes, you can make an impact!). Amp also tells us the secrets of finding kick-ass BDSM gear on websites like Wish and Amazon while avoiding shoddy products that could set your genitals on fire. Over on Patreon Amp tells a story about his first time on a porn set and it has a very unexpected twist https://www.patreon.com/posts/bonus-story-amp-29399083!    Submit your BDSM & sex advice questions by email to americansexpodcast@gmail.com To support American Sex podcast, please visit patreon.com/americansex (plus you’ll get all episodes early, secret episodes, bonus stories from guests, on-air shout-outs, stuff in the mail & more!)

Nicole Prause, Ph.D. gives us an eye-opening view into the world of a sex researcher. We learn about the latest sexuality research like brain hacking to normalize sexual desire, scientific sex product research, and the very specific laboratory definition of an orgasm that surprisingly fails to line up with what many of us experience in the bedroom. We get into the internal clitoris, vasocongestion, skene's glands, the mystery of sexual vaginal lubrication, and the most sensitive areas of the clitoral glans. Have you heard that men are more sexually visual, orgasms are different based on gender, or the more testosterone someone has the stronger their sex drive is? Dr. Prause tells us why these and other sexual “facts” aren’t true at all. This episode has so much fascinating information, it’s a sex geek’s wet dream! We also tell you about a free upcoming learning resource for existing and aspiring sexuality educators.  Submit your BDSM & sex advice questions by email to americansexpodcast@gmail.com To support American Sex podcast, please visit patreon.com/americansex (plus you’ll get all episodes early, secret episodes, bonus stories from guests, on-air shout-outs, stuff in the mail & more!)

It’s legal in the majority of the US for medical students to perform educational pelvic exams on anesthetized patients without their knowledge. Amy Jo Goddard has been working for years to put a stop to this practice and is producing a documentary on the issue called At Your Cervix. In this conversation, she tells us how unbelievably prevalent this practice is. She also gives accounts from women this has happened to and from medical students uncomfortable with this requirement but afraid to jeopardize their grades by refusing. We also learn about the dark history of gynecology, the work Amy Jo has done to help make these exams illegal in certain parts of the US, how Gynecological Teaching Assistants can give better training to students, plus she gives tips on how we can protect ourselves when we’re in the care of medical professionals.  (Content note: If you’re a survivor of sexual assault-- especially in a medical context or someone who has had prior medical procedures under anesthesia, some of what we discuss may be difficult to hear. I want you to know that before listening and reassure you that even if you’re a die-hard American Sex fan & never miss an episode, it’s fine to sit this one out.

Casey tells us about diving into the kink & leather world after the age of 40 when an unexpected divorce forced her to reexamine a sexual part of herself he had abandoned years before.  She gives us important tips about exploring kink and tells us why understanding what’s behind our reluctance to talk to partners about fantasies is crucial for a satisfying sex life.

How do people do it? Is it safe? Does it hurt? Why does it scare the bejeezus out of me? Why does it also sound hot AF? And what exactly do urethras even sound like anyway? We also discuss advanced play with tuning forks and electricity, what to do if you're scarred from kidney stones, plus John shares a few cringey urethral sounding mishap stories and tells us about some of the most unbelievable, extreme urethral play he’s seen.
