L.A. Jamison on Reparative Therapy – Sexual Conversion Attempts Jan 27, 2020

Show notes

This week Joe discusses the controversial world of Reparative Therapy, which is sexual conversion attempts to turn people from gay to straight. His guest is Larry Jamison, a writer, educator and activist, who has spent ten years exploring ex-gay ministry and reparative therapy. Larry wants people to understand why someone might choose to do sexual conversion therapy and that it’s not about ‘crazy’ people, but very vulnerable people trying to get help. “There’s nothing good about going to war with your sexuality,” says Larry.

Ruby Ryder on Pegging Jan 20, 2020

Show notes

For those who don’t know, Pegging is a sexual practice in which a woman performs anal sex on a man by penetrating his anus with a strap-on dildo. It’s anal sex reversed. My guest this week is Ruby Ryder of PeggingParadise.com and Pegging101.com. Ruby is a podcaster, blogger, sex educator and a published writer of erotic fiction who wants to normalize the concept of pegging. “I’m a shamebuster!” she says. “Society doesn’t let men be vulnerable, always putting guys in the ‘man box’. Pegging allows a man to explore their vulnerability, and I’m the fairy godmother of strap-on f***ing!”

Silva Neves on Helping Clients Recover from the Trauma of ‘Sex Addiction’ Treatments Jan 13, 2020

Show notes

This week Joe chats with psychosexual and relationship psychotherapist, Silva Neves. Together they explore how therapists help clients recover from the trauma of sex addiction treatments. Silva, who works in his private clinic in Central London, UK, believes the ‘traditional’ sex addiction therapy model should be banned. ”Sex addiction therapy is so harmful,” he says. ”It’s a modern day version of conversion therapy for one’s erotic interest, and a ‘one size fits all’ treatment doesn’t fit at all!”

Silva tells us about alternative treatments for compulsive sexual behaviors that, in his view, are far more effective than ‘traditional’ sex addiction therapies.

Did you know that Online Findom is when a submissive person feels aroused as he opens his wallet to his Dom? Listen here to Part Two of Joe’s chat with Findom Master Judas and Findom Dom Jess as they discuss what it’s really like having a submissive spin the ‘Cash Wheel’. “To a degree, I would consider myself a sex worker,” says Judas. “Even if there is no sex involved. Everything I do is consensual, even if I rape their wallets.”

Jared Boot on Asexuality Dec 23, 2019

Show notes

This week’s show is about Asexuality. Did you know only about one percent of the population identifies as asexual? My guest, Jared Boot, explains what an isolating experience this can be. Jared, a doctoral student in clinical psychology at the Michigan School of Psychology, has a passion for asexual inclusion, diversity and equity. “How people talked about homophobia in the sixties, is how people talk about asexuality today,” says Jared. He believes it needs to be more in today’s public consciousness, and he’s here to chat about how we can make that change.

Neil Cannon on Kinks Dec 16, 2019

Show notes

This week we talk all things Kink with my guest, sex therapist Dr. Neil Cannon. Neil has been researching, writing about and treating members of the kink community for nearly fifteen years. He believes kink is nothing to feel any shame about. “In sex therapy all roads lead to shame, but clinicians should be there to help clients create a clear understanding of their sexual desires, without shame, says Neil. “We need to give people permission to be themselves sexually – that’s what most people want. To be free!”

She believes that to make a marriage work you have to, “put your ego aside and your kids first!” Hear Joe and Jennifer discuss what a divorce can really look like, and, if your marriage is truly over, how to navigate back into the world of dating.
