    A Very Happy Manwhore with George Goulburn

    A man who makes the plans, cooks the meals, puts his phone away, and genuinely loves giving women pleasure? Pinecones, we need to talk. George Goulburn is a 54-year-old Australian male escort who traded corporate life for a career making women feel safe, seen, and wanted. His bookings can include beach getaways, home-cooked dinners, and plenty of sex—but the attention he describes giving his clients had me swooooooning! George joins me to talk about what women actually ask for when they hire him, how he finds genuine attraction in his work, and what happens when someone catches feelings. We get into pleasure after menopause, the emotional demands of paid intimacy, and the double standard that celebrates men for the same work women are shamed for. George loves his job, and he’s candid about both its joys and its complications. Whether or not you ever book an escort, you'll come away from this one knowing what it looks like when someone gives you their full, undivided attention, and why you deserve it. In this episode: What George's last booking looked like, hour by hour (spoiler: he booked the Airbnb and did all the cooking)Why most of his clients are over 50, and what they ask for that women in their 30s don'tThe line between performing intimacy and feeling it, and why George refuses to actHow he screens clients, and the red flags that make him turn a booking downThe "you don't haggle at Gucci" rule for knowing your worthThe myth that menopause means you "shut up shop," and why some of his clients have never felt more aliveThe sensitive question: does he ever not get aroused on the job?Catching feelings for clients, and what he does when that happensSex worker burnout, a week-long overseas booking, and how he rechargesThe scariest thing that's happened to him on the jobWhy a male escort gets called a "stud" while women doing the same work get stigmaGeorge's message to the men of the world who blame women for their problems FOLLOW GEORGE: Website: https://georgegoulburn.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/georgegoulburnofficial SUPPORT THE SHOW!

    Abortion is Good, Actually with Sophie Nir

    Abortion is good for sex. I SAID IT, pinecones. I’m proudly pro-abortion for lots of reasons, but one of them is that without abortion access, consenting to sex can mean consenting to pregnancy…and y’all, that can really, really ruin sex. And then there are all the other, bigger reasons: women being able to control their own bodies, direct their own lives, and not be forced to give birth when they don’t want to. That’s the real moral issue around abortion. Sophie Nir is the founder of the Abortion Positivity Project, a nonprofit working to move us beyond the apologetic, shame-filled language that still surrounds abortion—even among people who consider themselves pro-choice. Sophie joins me to talk about what happens when we stop treating abortion like something we have to reluctantly defend and start talking about it as healthcare, freedom, bodily autonomy, and a social good. In this episode: Why "safe, legal, and rare" still carries abortion stigmaWhat Sophie calls abortion fan fictionWhy "I could never have an abortion" may not mean what you think it meansHow abortion restrictions became embedded in American healthcare and politics, and how the original motivation wasn't morality - it was moneyWhy Sophie uses the term forced birthHow abortion is less politically controversial than we’ve been led to believeThe times Sophie witnessed anti-abortion protestors coming into the clinic she worked at...to get abortionsThe difference between being pro-choice and being proudly pro-abortionThe three pillars of abortion positivityWhy abortion access matters for women’s economic, social, and political freedomWhat the Turnaway Study tells us about what happens when people are denied abortions they wantWhy saying "abortion is healthcare" isn’t enough if we don’t actually treat it like healthcareHow nobody is conducting a national poll on whether Sophie should get sinus surgeryWhat it would look like to live in a culture where restricting abortion feels completely unthinkableAnd why we need to stop talking like we’re losing CHECK OUT THE ABORTION POSITIVITY PROJECT: Learn more about Sophie’s work, donate, join the mailing list, and check out their merch: https://abortionpositivity.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/abortionpositivity/ SPONSORS: Become a more skillful lover with Kenneth Play’s Beyond Satisfied Pro course.

    It's Never Been Safer to Be a Slut

    Getting tested for STIs is responsible. But what if your “comprehensive” STI test…isn’t actually comprehensive? Shameless Care founder Robert Johnson found that out the hard way when he tested negative for gonorrhea while unknowingly carrying it in his throat and passing it to a partner. That experience eventually led him to build Shameless Care, a sex-positive telehealth company designed to fill some pretty massive gaps in sexual healthcare. Robert and his Sex Is Good podcast co-host Anna join me to talk about what we actually need to know to take the fear out of sex - so it can be ALL FUN, BABY! In this episode: How Robert tested negative for gonorrhea while unknowingly spreading itWhy your STI panel may be missing infectionsWhy HPV is the glitter of the sexual worldThe HPV vaccine—and why adults over 45 may still want itPrEP, DoxyPEP, and the golden age of sexual healthWhy gay orgies are safer now than they were in the ’80s and ’90sWhy STI prevention can actually give us more sexual freedomThe ridiculous stigma around herpesHSV-1 vs. HSV-2 and how either can show up orally or genitallyMy own experience living—and having lots of sex—with herpesHow herpes has mostly functioned as an douchebag screener for meViagra and Cialis…for women?!An oxytocin nasal spray that I immediately decided I needWhy sex-positive doctors matterAnd why knowing more about sexual health can make sex a whole lot more fun CHECK OUT SHAMELESS CARE: Get private, nonjudgmental sexual healthcare from sex-positive doctors, including comprehensive STI testing, DoxyPEP, PrEP, valacyclovir, sexual wellness medications, oxytocin, and more.

    Hot Slut on a Train with Natalie Davis

    Natalie Davis was a straight-and-narrow, rule-following lawyer mom who married her college boyfriend and fully expected to live happily ever after inside the white-picket-fence monogamy model. Then her husband cheated—and eventually asked whether they could start having sex with other people. What followed was messy, painful, liberating, awkward, sexy, and completely life-altering. Natalie is now the author of Saying Yes: My Adventures in Polyamory, a radically candid memoir about surviving infidelity, dismantling everything she thought she knew about marriage, and discovering a version of herself she never knew existed. You know...like being a hot slut on a train. In this episode: Why Natalie never questioned monogamy before her husband’s affairThe humiliation of being cheated on—and why she couldn’t bring herself to tell her friendsHow infidelity became an unexpected doorway into consensual non-monogamyThe difference between choosing polyamory and being polyamorous under duressWhy staying after betrayal doesn’t make someone a coward or a doormatWatching your partner put effort into dates with someone else and realizing he never dated you that wayWhy people are sometimes more comfortable with secret cheating than consensual non-monogamyNatalie’s first swinger partyWhat swinging taught her about boundaries, desire, and speaking upFalling in love with another partner for the first timeComing out as polyamorous to family, coworkers, and her childWhy non-monogamous people still need legal protection from discriminationThe public-sex adventures that transformed a responsible lawyer mom into a hot slut on a trainRoadhead, parking-garage blowjobs, sexting, roleplay, and discovering what turns you on in your fortiesWhy consensual secrecy can deliver the thrill of cheating without the betrayalNatalie’s current liminal dating eraWhat it’s really like living in a resident V with her husband and metamourThe difference between a V and a throupleThe difference between a living arrangement that feels peaceful and one filled with constant low-level tensionWhy relationships don’t have to last forever to have been successfulAnd why Natalie’s story isn’t finished until she’s dead READ SAYING YES: MY ADVENTURES IN POLYAMORY: Bookshop.org: https://bookshop.org/shop/happyslut FOLLOW NATALIE DAVIS: Website: https://nataliedavisadventures.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nataliedavisadventures/ Medium: https://medium.com/@nataliedavisadventures Polyamory Today: https://medium.com/polyamory-today LEARN MORE ABOUT OPEN: Organization for Polyamory and Ethical Non-monogamy: https://www.open-love.org/ SPONSORS: Become a more skillful lover with Kenneth Play’s Beyond Satisfied Pro course.

    You Are Somebody's Cup of Tea with JessJess

    Pinecones, this week I'm talking to JessJess — party producer, president of Mission Control, organizer with the Bonobo Network, and the woman behind Beyond the Rainbow Events, which throws some of the most thoughtfully inclusive parties in the Bay Area. She's also been non-monogamous since high school, survived a marriage that ended in a way I wouldn't wish on anybody, and rebuilt her whole life inside a community that actually showed up for her. This conversation is about kink and parties and rope suspension, but what it's really about is what it takes to believe you're wanted exactly as you are. You don't have to be kinky, poly, or anywhere near a play party for that one to hit. In this episode: How JessJess ended up with three boyfriends and a girlfriend in high school, plus a full safer-sex negotiation at seventeenWhy she and her husband said "open relationship" for years, because nobody had handed them a better wordWhat happens when the person you've loved for twenty years becomes someone you don't recognizeHer first kink party: unicorn hair and a pink strappy outfit in a room full of black and redThuddy vs. sting-y impact play, and the scene where she discovered that her body talksThe femdom party where a man volunteered to be her footstoolWhat emotional play actually is, and how going into an insecurity on purpose taught her to feel jealousy in her body before reacting to itWhy tops sometimes need aftercare tooThe sexy dinner party where she was the biggest person in the room and got more attention than anyone elseAnd how patriarchy sold all of us the lie that only one kind of body gets to be wanted — a lie that has cost every single one of us something FOLLOW JESSJESS: Beyond the Rainbow Events LinkTree: https://linktr.ee/beyondtherainbowevents --> that link will take you to JessJess's events on Plura, Fetlife, and everywhere else JessJess's Personal Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/dapperbetch Beyond the Rainbow Events on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/beyondtherainbowevents SUPPORT THE SHOW!
