Episode 34: IT’S LIKE BIRTH CONTROL FOR HIV with prevention educator Jennie Zundel Feb 19, 2018

Show notes

On the Sexplanations YouTube channel there are three episodes about HIV which I’m really proud of. As someone who served as the the HIV prevention coordinator of an AIDS council doing what I can to encourage that people get tested and protect themselves is important to me. To revisit those episodes on the podcast I invited Jennie who does a version now of what I did ten years. She walks us through the latest on prevention, discusses some of the misinformation still being passed around, and gives us a quiz on our knowledge of the virus. Note at one point she refers to an activist named Kerry Washington. She meant Kerry Thomas. Thanks for staying curious with us on the Sexplanations, I’m still learning.

Episode 32: NEVER WORRIED ABOUT YOUR ETERNAL DAMNATION with my chosen sister Jamie Feb 03, 2018

Show notes

The fact is the audience of Sexplanations has consistently been amazing. When we started fundraising for the show, to create something sustainable, you were onboard right away to see that this never had to be a financial or professional burden for me. Jamie who is today's co-host and I witnessed from the beginning your outpour of support and generosity. We cheered for you as you cheered for us. We built care packages for you together and organized your messages and questions so we could show our gratitude. So I wanted to talk to Jamie about what it's been like to create the funding side of the show, how it's changed over the last four years, how I've changed. We also discuss Jamie's relationship to sexuality, the religious conflicts with sex before marriage, cognitive dissonance, and the value of prioritizing our sex lives so we have passion and knowledge to share with others.

Take a bath, squirt something like beet juice into the tub for every shame you can think of, and then drain the tub and let the shame wash away. Urinate shame too! **There's a clicking sound during the replay of the Sexplanations YouTueb episode, that's because there's a timer counting how many hours go into each portion of creating the show.

Episode 30: JUST BE FUCKING HUMAN with erotica voice performer Lou Winkler Jan 16, 2018

Show notes

Louey first heard my voice orgasming in the apartment below his in 2002. We became friends. He asked me to perform in a sensual silent film he made for film school. I asked him to photograph a 1000 sex positions for an online course I was writing. We taught at the same university. We picked apples together for cider. We drove five hours with our partners to the hot springs. We took another road trip to swing dance. I was around when he took a job with Complexly to work on the SciShow team. He cheered for me when I started Sexplanations for the same company. Now we're back in the studio together talking about sex. It's a comfortable place to be and I'm thrilled to share our friendship with you. Sextra Credit: Fake orgasms with your partner (or on your own).

Episode 29: OUR FRIENDSHIP IS A BENEFIT OF SEX determined by Peter Musser Jan 09, 2018

Show notes

I invited sex geek, former Navy, soon-to-be librarian, and dear friend Peter to talk with me about the benefits of sex. It turns out there isn't just a health list of benefits, so much more of our lives have been beneficially impacted thank goodness! In this episode Peter and I talk about our meet cute. We discuss leftover sperm in the urethra and review a past episode of the Sexplanations YouTube channel. What's the drill metaphor? Do the benefits of sex outweigh the disadvantages? Are we going to continue having it? How should we respond to our partners shitting the bed? Why do we admire Kenton? How can we access high quality sex education?
