Sex Ed The Musical

Have you ever dated someone just in the name of science? I actually recommend it. For one thing, it removes a lot of the inherent fear and self-consciousness of the typical dating experience. It also helps your decision-making abilities because you’re in strict observation mode. Plus, if you keep a good field journal, you might get a good story out of it in the end. The following dating story you’re about to hear is true. No names have been changed because no one is innocent. This episode follows one of the last disaster dates I went on back when I was single. Set in Chicago in the late 1980s and featuring a total stoner (not me), a legendary blues singer (also not me), and someone getting punched in the face (hopefully not me). Just sit back and press play cause this booze-fueled, emotional thrill ride, has just about everything. And me. Also, stick around for a brand new, hilarious Screw Confession. You may never look at Canadian hockey players the same way again. If YOU have a Screw Confession you’d like t

Comedian Jodi Miller is ON TOP! A self-proclaimed "Jewgar", Jodi Miller has been performing stand-up comedy all over the country for over 20 years, and has also done 4 military tours including going overseas to entertain the troops in Afghanistan. She’s currently seen as the host of the nationally-syndicated The World’s Funniest Weather, the head writer and on-camera talent for the nationally-syndicated game show, Funny You Should Ask, the host of the podcast Don’t Call Me Ma’am, and all of this well-earned success comes after briefly destroying her career while working for me at Playboy TV. Since Jodi writes and stars on a very funny game show and I’m completely OBSESSED with game shows, I decided to turn this week’s podcast into a game show all about sex!!! To give you an idea of how obsessed I am with game shows, my very own wedding was a game show. Here’s the story as heard on This American Life, hosted by Ira Glass. But right now, it’s time for you to test your knowledge about sex! WHAT ARTICLE OF CLOTH

When I started working at Playboy TV, people immediately began to ask me how I was going to “explain my job” to my daughter. Strangely, I was never asked that question about any of the other places I worked. After all, I spent years working at NBC and never once was I asked to explain Supertrain. But after I became Head of Programming at Playboy TV, I was repeatedly asked how I was going to justify my job to a 4 year old. Turns out, my kid didn’t have a problem. On the other hand, there were one or two very judgmental moms at her fancy private school who, after finding out where I worked, tried to make things extremely difficult for me. And the most famous mom of all, was my biggest hater. Which only proves, no matter where you go, there are always mean girls. My guest, columnist and reporter Ray Richmond, had a much different experience. His mother went from giving hand jobs to movie stars in a seedy massage parlor across from FOX, to founding a huge sex product empire. That’s right, a tiny, Jewish mother wo

If you’re a woman in a heterosexual relationship, there’s a good chance you’re getting a lot less oral sex than your male partner. This Oral Sex Gap stems from many reasons. For one, women are pretty much “expected” to give blow jobs to their male partners, while a lot of hetero men easily justify why they don’t return the favor. Is it laziness? Is it patriarchal entitlement? Is it a part of a nefarious brainwashing effort that’s convinced women that there’s something too challenging, unattractive or disgusting about their bodies? Perhaps… But, it’s not just the men who are saying no to oral sex with their female partners. A lot of women refuse to accept oral sex. Many women feel too vulnerable or have hypersensitive clitorises which makes cunnilingus difficult to enjoy. Or they bought that load of bullshit that a lot of dudes have been serving up for years. Whatever the reason, CEO and founder of Lorals, Melanie Cristol saw an opportunity to offer a sexy product that allows women to accept pleasure without f

Cheating in a marriage occurs for a number of reasons. But it turns out, one of the main reasons for infidelity is revenge. Revenge Cheaters have sex outside of their marriage to get back at their partners for having affairs. And many feel completely justified. On this episode, I speak to a woman who’s been on both sides of infidelity. Her husband cheated on her and she eventually cheated on him, for a very surprising reason. There’s a lot to this story and, hopefully, by listening you may discover ways for you to get on the other side of the pain caused by infidelity or an abusive relationship, so you can start healing, too. MEMORABLE QUOTES “I thought I couldn’t do any better and I just figured, okay, well I’m not going to get anybody else, so I’ll just take what’s given to me.” “I was trying really hard to be that good wife, and that good person and be a good mommy, and I never really, I don’t think, fully dealt with it.” “I wanted to leave him. I didn’t know how.” “I’m not proud of the fact that I did wha

Infidelity is complicated for so many reasons. Many people can’t even agree on what cheating really is. If you got a lap dance at a club, is that cheating? If you flirted with a stranger at the grocery store, is that cheating? If you watched porn, is that cheating? There are a lot of statistics about cheating available online and, unfortunately, a lot of the numbers are self-reported so their accuracy isn’t exactly guaranteed. I found one piece in the New York Times that said, “…national surveys indicate that 15% of married women and 25% of married men have had extramarital affairs. The incidence is about 20% higher when emotional and sexual relationships without intercourse are included.” That’s a lot of cheating! When it comes to infidelity, you can bury your head in the sand if you choose but, with those odds, there’s a good chance you’re going to encounter it in a relationship. Then what? On this podcast I speak with Robert Weiss. The author of 10 books on sex, intimacy and relationships including Sex A

What would you say if you could go back and give sex advice to your 20 year old self? Or even your 15 year old self? That is one of many questions I ask on this episode of Under Covers. For these conversations, I’ve interviewed women of all ages, from all religious backgrounds, and walks of life. Regardless of what we don’t have in common, there’s a lot more we all share. On this episode I speak with Kim (not her real name). All you need to know is that Kim is 41, married, and created a life of self-acceptance and sexual pleasure on her own terms, after escaping an abusive relationship. And that’s where all similarities end…or begin.   SUBSCRIBE TO SEX ED THE MUSICAL!   THIS EPISODE OF SEX ED THE MUSICAL IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY: VULVARAMA The Finest Pleasure Products Curated By Women, For Women www.vulvarama.com Doing our part for your ladyparts.

ELLE (That’s not her real name). Just like the previous Under Covers (episodes 23-26, 37), this is a completely candid interview with a woman I’ve never met, about the most intimate details of her sex life. In each of these conversations, I’m asking women the same questions and I’m not at all surprised to discover how much so many of us have in common. Whether it’s the fear and shame associated with sex education, our first sexual encounters, the identical lies we’re told by others, or the lies we tell ourselves — it’s all there. That said, this particular conversation takes quite a few highly unexpected turns. All you need to know in advance is that Elle is 41, the mother of three, and one night experienced the biggest breach of trust imaginable in her marriage. That’s where all similarities end…or begin.

What a MASSIVE week! This podcast surpassed 15,000 downloads!!! I managed not to say anything stupid on two other podcasts - Dates and Mates and Sexy As A Mother. My writing on Medium garnered over 20,000 views. I found a new, amazing remote-controlled vibrator (affiliate link) that you need right now to make your life a lot more fun. And if that’s not enough, we’re back with an all-new episode of Under Covers!!!! I think I can safely say, I won this week. Now, on to today’s episode. NADIA (That’s not her real name). Just like the previous Under Covers conversations, there’s a lot I could share with you about Nadia in advance, but the truth is, I knew absolutely nothing about her when I started this interview. I didn’t know her age, her job, her socioeconomic status, her religious background, where she lived, nothing. And that was 100% deliberate because these are bits of information we all use to subtly judge and categorize each other in advance. I wanted all of that off the table because going into an inter

You know that Sunday night feeling when you sadly reflect back on your measly 2 days off and realize you did absolutely nothing fun at all? Well, get ready to kiss that 'Sunday Night Sad' goodbye! In this episode, I have compiled a list of 10 things you can do this weekend that are SEXY, CHEAP and FUN — just like me! Ranging from absolutely free to nothing all that insane, this is the perfect list to wake up your sex life. The time is now! Have fun. Be adventurous. Stop leaving pleasure on the table! NUMBER 10 — VISIT A LOCAL SEX TOY STORE There are lots of local sex toy shops and many of them are not repulsive at all. In Los Angeles, NY and Chicago, I highly recommend The Pleasure Chest. If you’re looking for something kinkier in LA, check out The Stockroom. In NY, Babeland is a fantastic shop and I’m a big fan of Good Vibrations in San Francisco. These are all brick and mortar shops but they also have online stores. If you can’t go to a local shop with your boo, check out some of the amazing stores online t

It’s a dark, October night in Los Angeles. I’m riding in the back of a strange man’s car. All alone, I’m on my way to a Sex Party in a house full of strangers. My husband has taken our kid to a theme park for Fright Night. I chose not to join them. Because I don’t like to be scared.   In this episode, on a totally last minute whim, I decide to attend a sex party. Alone. I have no idea who will be there. I have no idea why I’ll be there. But, much to my surprise, I go. Then…things get scary. And I like it.

In every city across America, there are Sex Clubs. Some are private and require memberships. Some require you to send nude photos to make sure you conform to a certain aesthetic in order to be admitted. Some are super elite and cost thousands of dollars to attend for just one night. Some are exclusively gay. Some are exclusively kink centric. Regardless of their individual rules, crowds and aesthetics, Sex Clubs are places where adults can meet each other and have sex right on the premises. You might think that by entering a Sex Club, you’re immediately surrendering all of your clothes, rights and consent just by virtue of being there. That cannot be further from the truth. In fact, in many sex clubs rules are posted everywhere and entrants must agree to all of the rules before then can join the crowd. Your boundaries and personal space are more respected in a Sex Club than in your typical bar…or grocery store…or subway car…or the myriad other places you can be groped without your consent. So what really happ

“Always listen to your heart, because even though it’s on your left side, it’s always right.” — Nicholas Sparks On this episode, I reveal the surprising true story behind the creation of Sex Ed The Musical. I don’t want to give too much away right here. Let’s just say it required a fuckton of failure, a lie to some big-time studio executives and staring at someone a lot smarter than me. Not necessarily in that order. QUESTIONS THAT WILL BE ANSWERED IN THE NEXT 9 MINUTES What really sparked the idea for this podcast? Why is your past not at all relevant to your future? Exactly how many Shamans do I know? And in case an episode of just me talking about me isn’t enough me, below is a link to me talking about me with someone else who’s not me. Here I am on the MILF Podcast also explaining the story behind this podcast, except much longer and to someone a lot taller than me. Did you ever tell a lie about yourself that actually turned out to be true? Share your story in the comments. I’d love to hear from you.

Sex Education has a controversial history in this country. Deliberate misinformation, scare tactics, religious corruption, institutionalized misogyny, and archaic educational materials are all part of the story. Sex education isn’t required in every state and even if it is taught in your state, it’s not always required to be factually and technically accurate. State and Local Legislators Decide What Can Be Taught in Sex Education Even though it’s been proven conclusively that Abstinence Only Education DOES NOT WORK, there’s a very clear and direct correlation between unintended teen pregnancies and the states with conservative politics that will only teach abstinence. No abstinence-only-until-marriage program has been shown to have any impact on young people’s behavior. If you’ve had any institutionalized sex education in this country, there’s a good chance you were taught something wildly inaccurate. SO I’M CELEBRATING THOSE LIES! On this episode, I share some of the best worst lies I’ve heard. I also play c
