    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!

    You Can't Hate Yourself Thin

    One of the biggest things making a joyful sex life hard to cultivate in patriarchy is our collective acceptance of patriarchal beauty standards. These b******t standards have convinced almost everyone that they're not sexy. IT'S A LIE, PINECONES, IT'S A DIRTY LIIIIIIIE. All sorts of bodies are sexy, all sorts of people are sexy, and there really is someone for everyone - but only if we are able to deprogram patriarchy's f*****y from our minds and see ourselves for who and what we really are. Fat rolls aren't gross and cellulite isn't disgusting. Wrinkles are not something you have to hide to be beautiful. These ideas are just the lies of patriarchal capitalism trying to make you think you need to spend money and starve yourself to be lovable. Reality check: You are lovable RIGHT EFFING NOW. Listen to me read my Substack essay, You Can't Hate Yourself Thin, in this week's audio-only solo episode. In this episode: Why I went audio-only this week - I'm on a semi-real vacation visiting my mom for her 79th birthday!The lie patriarchy teaches about which bodies are allowed to be sexyHitting my lifelong goal weight in 2019, and the f****d-up sense of "benevolent superiority" that came with itThe self-love weight-loss advice I used to smugly hand out like gospel *cringe*How gaining the weight back spiraled into daily compulsive eating and shameMy New York trip, the naked mirror incident, and the moment my internal sex machine screeched to a haltGrowing up in a family that taught me to fear food and fatThe baloney incident — my earliest memory of learning fat was badThe Atkins diet, the watermelon breakdown, and finally learning what hunger actually feels likeThe relationship epiphany in my mid-twenties that unlocked real, fast, joyful weight lossCrying into my ex's chest and realizing my "self-love" had a body-shaped asterisk on itWhat I'm doing now to reprogram myselfWhy the obsession with one "correct" body is patriarchy's rulebook, not the truth — and how we get free of it SUPPORT THE SHOW!

    When One Partner's Kinky & the Other Isn't with Amanda Dames

    Amanda Dames, The Kink Consultant, loves helping couples struggling to reconcile a mismatch in their desires, specifically surrounding kink. She's a certified Somatica sex and relationship coach and certified sexologist who specializes in couples where one partner is kinky and the other one isn't, and the way she works with them will change how you think about asking for what you want, whether your fantasy involves rope or just finally being taken to a dinner you didn't have to plan. In this episode: - Why both monogamy and polyamory require partners to make sacrifices, and no one wants to talk about it - Amanda's first coaching move isn't catering to the kinky partner, it's finding out what the vanilla partner actually wants - Why "I don't have any fantasies" is almost never true - The massage problem: why her ask and his ask are way closer than either of them thinks - Porn vs. romance novels — both are erotic material, but only one gets made fun of by men - Nine out of ten of Amanda's clients are husbands who want to submit (and her theory on why the dominant ones are all from New Jersey) - Amanda's ten-session process with couples, laid out start to finish - Why she thinks communication is NOT the most important thing in relationships - The most freeing thing you'll hear if you're scared to top someone — they're already doing 90% of the work - Subspace, dom flow, and finding your authentic dominant instead of playing a role - Amanda gets real about her own jealousy, and says something out loud she never has before - How patriarchy cuts men off from their vulnerability and women off from their power FOLLOW AMANDA: Join her free monthly group for women exploring their dominant side — email info@thekinkconsultant.com with a photo or social handle Website: https://amandadames.com The Kink Consultant Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/3psOpSZMQQYm2cN69bIKwc Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_kinkconsultant Join Amanda at Hedonism for Swinkation (use code TKC50 for up to $400 off): https://www.swinkation.com/ SUPPORT THE SHOW!
