American Sex — Health
American Sex

Changing America’s dysfunctional relationship with sex one laugh at a time, this award-winning podcast gets to the meat of what fuels our deepest, darkest turn-ons. Sex isn’t just sex; it’s about everything – identity, power, politics, taboos, and the shame our culture thrives on. Recognizing how these elements seep into our bedrooms makes all the kinky, “weird” stuff we’re secretly into seem not so weird after all.

Host Sunny Megatron is an acclaimed Clinical Sexologist, BDSM Educator, and Showtime TV host. Equal parts hilarious and informative, Sunny & her guests serve up real talk about kink, polyamory, sexual ethics, and more. From practical sex tips to candid conversations on sexual empowerment to the war on reproductive rights and sexual freedom, each topic is approached with a lightheartedness that’s second to none.

On American Sex Podcast, Kink is Customizable™ and education is the new punk rock. The personal is undeniably political and tinkle-your-pants laughter is the antidote to sexual shame. Together, we’re on a mission to harness the power in our pleasure, embrace the subversion in our perversion, and challenge the puritanical, backward-ass views on sex that are as American as apple pie.

Racial Inequity, BIPOC Sexuality & The Pleasure Revolution with Dr. Candice Nicole Hargons - Ep 201 Mar 17, 2023

Show notes

Dr. Candice Nicole Hargons joins us for a conversation about the ways racial inequity hurts the sex lives of BIPOC folks. Although many view sex as an escape from the stresses of real-world issues and a common experience we all share -- it's not that simple. Orgasms are not the great equalizer. Political, cultural, and systemic societal forces have everything to do with the ways we experience pleasure. Some of what we unpack in this episode:

How the belief that only men who have money deserve sex impacts BIPOC communities
The importance of distinguishing between pleasure worthiness & entitlement
Why sex ed in schools & adult pleasure education are key
Tips for navigating cultural pressures in relationships while prioritizing pleasure, boundaries & survival
Why good sex can be an act of revolution & resistance
How race, capitalism, and sex intersect in complex ways
What we can do as allies & PoC to shift the culture, subvert systems & more

Guest Bio – Dr. Candice Nicole Hargons

Dr. Candice Nicole Hargons is an award-winning associate professor of counseling psychology at the University of Kentucky, where she studies sexual wellness and liberation. She is the host of F*ck the System: A Sexual Liberation Podcast and How to Love a Human, a liberation podcast that asks people with multiple marginalized identities what the world would be like if it loved them. She has published over 50 research articles and has been featured in the Huffington Post, the APA Monitor, Good Housekeeping, Women's Health, Blavity, Cosmopolitan, and the New York Times.

Gender Norms In the Kink Community with Veronika Kestrel - Ep 200 Mar 03, 2023

Show notes

Veronika Kestrel joins us for a conversation about creating safe & inclusive kink spaces for everyone across the gender spectrum. Despite the BDSM subculture's roots in the queer community & emphasis on inclusivity, many communities remain steeped in heteronormativity, leading to the fetishization and othering of gender non-conforming and trans people. Some of what we touch on:

Why gender bias exists in kink
The commodification & politicization of GNC & trans kinksters
Tips for vetting communities & individuals
The responsibilities of allies & accomplices
Issues with sissy play & cuckolding
Commonalities between marginalized groups in BDSM & more

Guest Bio – Veronika Kestrel
