How We Talk About Sex Hosted By Eric Leviton

I met Genoa at her booth at the SexExpo in NY in September of 2018 and as soon as I saw her product, I stopped to ask about it and invited her to come on to the podcast and tell everyone about it. The product came about because they couldn’t find a toy that was slim, transportable, and discreet – especially when it came to flying and having TSA going through your luggage. My guests today are Genoa and Steffan. They started a company called Soixante9 and over four years of time, created something that turns your rechargeable toothbrush into a luxury vibrator. You’re going to enjoy this conversation.

My guest is Elise Carr. She is the woman behind StellaMuse. "The blending of what I offer you is Like Psychology for the Soul – honouring your physical, sexual, emotional, mental and spiritual layers; what has brought you thus far, where you are, and what needs healing and guidance all ultimately in alignment with your Soul’s plan of fulfillment." She also is the host of the Sacred Guidance with StellaMuse podcast, which you can find just about anywhere including on her website. www.stellamuse.com

Monika returns to the podcast to talk about using EMDR therapy in order to deal with being abused as a child and how that has affected her marriage as well as her relationship with her family. We also talk about Erin’s Law; BDD - Body Dysmorphic Disorder; Toxic Masculinity; and writing about topics like “Covert Incest” for TheMighty.com themighty.com/author/monika-sudakov erinslaw.org emdr.com

Elizabeth Heineman talks about Germany's equivalent of Hugh Hefner – Beate Uhse. This conversation came from me being asked to give my thoughts about Hefner after he died and I wound up learning about Beate, the woman Luftwaffe pilot who built Europe's largest sex shop empire and embodied Germany's post-war economic miracle. This is a fascinating story. Take a listen.

Naama Bloom is the founder of HelloFlo.com, a modern day health site for girls and women. Her mission for HelloFlo was to create a space where women and girls could learn about their bodies in an open and honest environment without any shame and with a healthy dose of humor. HelloFlo's first two videos, " The Camp Gyno" and "First Moon Party," have been viewed over 50 million times and show girls that while puberty can be awkward at times, it can also be fun and empowering. @naamabloom naamabloom.com helloflo.com

My guest this week is Bryan, who I met at the SexExpo back in September. Bryan and I talk about his new app, BIEM which provides the easiest way to talk with a healthcare professional, get tested, share results, and be notified if a person you've been with tests positive for an STD in the future. We also discuss PrEP; “stealthing”; being sexually irrational; and consent. biemteam.com whatisprep.org

My guest, Cooper S. Beckett is an author, a podcaster, and so much more. He spent much of his life afraid of sex, sexuality, his bisexuality, his true interests, and global thermonuclear war. In this conversation we talk not just about his new novel, Approaching The Swingularity: Tales of Swinging & Polyamory in Paradise, but also his personal experiences as a host on these weeklong getaways with his guests. “Welcome home…” Those words and a glass of sparkling champagne welcome you to Aphrodite’s Resort and Spa, a place of pleasure and debauchery, situated on a strip of white sand beach on the Riviera Maya. coopersbeckett.com

I met Anne Hodder through Elle Chase, who was on the podcast last year. Anne Hodder, ACS, is a multi-certified sex educator endorsed by the renowned San Francisco Sex Information program and the American College of Sexologists International. She is the sex ed teacher you wish you'd had in high school.   We talk about how she taught herself about sex; household items as sex toys; her sex-positive PR firm; her sex workshops; men and emotions; and “69.” https://annehodder.com/ https://screamingo.com/shop/charged-positive-vibe/ https://www.amazon.com/Jamye-Waxman/e/B001JP4E52 http://www.goodvibes.com/s/sex-toys/p/1-2-AJ-BE02/good-vibrations-toys/fukuoku-9000-massager-

My guest, Silas Bliss is an artist, a writer of erotica, and a lover of bourbon. Silas and I talk about his art and writing; how he chose his name; sex at a very early age; meeting his wife in a religious cult; and his ultimate fantasy. There is also a giveaway at the end of this podcast. So stick around until the end. You can find his art here @SilasBliss or at facebook.com/getintobliss Enjoy!

A quick discussion about "Steak and BJ Day" and how that holiday led me to a charity I had never heard of before called CoppaFeel!   Once I found this website, I thought it was important to share what this charity is doing - especially for young women. coppafeel.org facebook.com/coppafeel.org @CoppaFeelPeople @KrisPoB officialsteakandblowjobday.com

Kristin Russo is my guest for the third time. We talk about her two new projects – “Getting in Bed with Kristin” which is a weekly themed interview show and her new podcast with her wife, Jenny Owen Youngs, called “Buffering the Vampire Slayer” where they not only discuss every episode of “Buffy, the Vampire Slayer,” but they also write a song that recaps each episode. We also veer into politics a little including her experience in the Women’s March in Los Angeles. a-camp.org autostraddle.com everyoneisgay.com mykidisgay.com ourrestroom.com

Happy Valentine's Day everybody.   Just a few thoughts and a little history about the holiday. Whether you're in or out of a relationship, be nice to yourself and don't put too much pressure on yourself just because you think it needs to be a perfect day. It does not. Love yourself.

My guest is Reggie. It's not that her parents didn't talk to her about sex, it's that she just wasn't that interested in hearing about it. When her teacher asked her what she wanted to be when she grew up, she answered, "A virgin." She says that it wasn't until she turned 34 that things really started to change for her sexually. I edited two long, separate conversations into one and we cover quite a bit.

Happy New Year! (and Merry Christmas, Happy Thanksgiving, Happy Halloween and every other holiday I have missed over the last four months!) On this episode it's just me talking about my friend's experience with inappropriate touching by the TSA at a NY airport. This year we may focus a little more on our sexual rights, human rights, female rights and other things that might be more political in the past. I hope you will not only continue listening, but also become more of a voice on this podcast by sharing your thoughts, feelings, and experiences as we go.

My guest, Galen Fous and I discuss the 5 Keys to Being Sexually Authentic as well as Sexual Authenticity Disorder, which is the fear of revealing or having others discover your deepest sexual desires. Galen has been “out” publicly in the Sex-Positive, Fetish and Sacred Sexuality communities since 1998. He has a Master’s degree in Transpersonal Psychology with an emphasis on the study of Fetish, Kink and D/s-BDSM. There is a lot to talk about! Enjoy!

Ryan “Wry” Mantione is kind of the perfect guest for this podcast. He believes in being well-informed regarding options and alternatives to a hetero-normative, traditional love life, as well as maintaining dialogue with partners. He is hosting a workshop on Saturday, Sept 10 at 4pm in Brooklyn with Janet Hardy, co-author of The Ethical Slut as well as other guests. Go to Eventbrite.com to find the link to buy tickets for $35-$50. It will take place at the Hacienda Villa in Bushwick, Brooklyn, which is considered to be a polyamory house. https://nonmonogamyconsultant.com/

Jet-Setting Jasmine is my guest this week. She's a certified SexPert and the fourth woman of the six Sisters of Sexuality that I have had on the podcast. We discuss her Catholic and conservative upbringing and how at the age of 25 or 30, she changed her mind about labeling the stuff that she does now as being bad or nasty. We also talk about how she communicates with her daughters about what she does in the adult industry. We talk about her SexEd Workshops and highlighting the more erotic side of sensuality through Fantasy Flight parties as well as her work with health care providers on learning how to bring up intimacy with people who have sustained serious injury. She’s also a national contributor on the issues of Intimacy & Chronic Illness and Sexuality & Aging. http://sistersofsexuality.com http://jetsettingjasmine.com
