  • 055: Bisexual Guy in a Straight Marriage
    What if your wife likes to have sex with girls? Likely not a problem. And, what if your husband likes to have sex with men. Whoa, slow down. A guy who likes to have sex with men can't be married to a woman, right? Well, prepare to have your mind blown, because it does go on, and maybe it has since we decided to start getting married in the first place.
    While it's more common and accepted, these days, for women to identify as Bi or Heterosexual, we still get a little squeamish when it comes to bisexual men - at least some of us do.
    There's a well known double-standard in the hetero swinging community when it comes to bisexual encounters, and even many women who identify as bisexual tend not to like the idea of dating a man who has been in homosexual relationship.
    Join us for a candid conversation with James West, a friend of the show, who identifies as bisexual and chooses to be in a straight, monogamous marriage.
    We are also going to talk to licensed therapist Indigo Stray Conger who has experience with nontraditional relationships and people like James.
    You can find James at @fauxedo on twitter.
    Go to indigostray.com to get in touch with Indigo.

  • 054: Escorting, Specialty Fetish and Non-Traditional Sex Therapy
    From traditional clinical therapy to prostitution, the spectrum that encompasses sexual dysfunction and treatment is broad. While licensed therapists are strictly limited in how they interact with clients, a number of alternative somatic and holistic services are gaining popularity where people seek more than talk therapy in working through sexual issues. Today's guest, Kendra Holliday, is a former escort and alternative sex therapy practitioner who specializes in specialty fetish, surrogacy, disabilities and dysfunction. She works closely with licensed therapists and extends treatment into places that are strictly off limits to clinicians. There tends to be a lot of shame and guilt around sex, especially when people have specific kink and fetish interests. It can be helpful for people to find a safe, non-judgmental space to discuss and enact their fantasies, in a capacity that stretches beyond simply talking to a counselor. Join us for a candid conversation with a special guest who is very open to discussing some of the stranger things she has experienced, and continues to practice in her capacity as a non-traditional therapist. From enemas, to incest - and even bestiality - we promise you'll hear something that makes you squirm...you might even like it! Sex Positive Saint Louis http://thebeautifulkind.com

  • 051: Greatest Hits: The First Fifty Episodes
    Fifty Episodes! Can you believe we've been recording dick jokes for over 50 (published) hours? That's not totally true. We've done a lot more than joke about sex. We like to discuss the things people are afraid to ask about, like love and relationships and sex and dating and family dynamics...so that you can learn and grow and get horny without having conspicuous pornography on your phone :) In our first 50 episodes we discuss marriage and divorce and sex and adult babies and swingers and bdsm, and sex addiction and orgasms and sex toys and penis and vagina and dick and pussy and fucking and making love. We bring a unique set of perspectives to the conversation, with the clinical views of a licensed sex therapist, a social worker turned homemaker, and a middle aged divorced guy who's not afraid to talk about his unreliable erections. Seriously, though, this show is good. It's funny and informative and hot and serious and everything you need to take your mind of the impending downfall of human civilization. Listen. You'll love it.

  • 050: The Elusive Female Orgasm
    Ah, Yes - The Female Orgasm. It's a mythical creature, known better to some than others - and not at all, to many. We like to promote the idea that men and women are more similar than different, but it's hard to deny that when it comes to...um...coming, we are completely different - as if we have totally different private parts.

    Not only can the female orgasm present a real quandary for anyone attempting (often through way too much effort) to deliver one, it can be even more baffling to women themselves when psychology and emotions play such a huge role in preventing one, no mater how the physical variables are tweaked.

    Furthermore, there are a number of different types of orgasms (today we'll explore cervical stimulation) and none of them is a global catchall, guaranteed to work for everyone. To recap: there's a lot that can get in the way of female orgasms and we don't totally understand female orgasms, and there's a lot of different ways to achieve orgasm, but none of these ways is guaranteed for anyone.

    Confused? Don't be. Join Host, Ben Robbins, Sex Therapist, Lisa Thomas, and Social Worker, Jenn Siegal for a candid discussion of sex and ladies' private parts and all of the factors that make the female orgasm one of the most common challenges in the vast spectrum of human sexuality.

  • 049: We’re back, folks.
    We missed you guys. Did you miss us? Hahaha, just kidding - OF COURSE YOU DID! Family Affairs is officially back from hiatus. Join us for an abbreviated show where we'll give you an update on the state of affairs that led to our break and get back to what we do best: talking about dirty sex stuff! We're going to tell you about a (maybe) ridiculous vibrator that we promise you've never seen before and - speaking of orgasms - we're going to debate whether sex gets better with age and monogamy, and whether sex drive correlates with those two things.

  • 048: Don’t Be A Dick
    Join us for a change of pace as Ben works through some real life relationship issues with a former girlfriend. That's right. While attempting to resolve some differences that were part of a very recent break-up, Ben asked if they could record the conversation, and she agreed. For a show that covers all aspects of love and relationships and sex and dating, it was a great opportunity to document that very unique experience where life overlaps art. The conversation is raw and un-curated. After making some mistakes and discussing some things on the podcast that were fairly inaccurate, and extremely hurtful, Ben decided to use the recording studio as a venue for making amends. The show is an important lesson in accountability for the things we say, and the messages we put into the world through digital media. It's easy to get wrapped up in embellishment and story-telling, and even easier not to anticipate the fallout and harm one's words can cause to another person. It's a real life glimpse into a very intimate conversation between two people who are still reeling from a breakup, and most importantly, it's lesson in relationship etiquette - both what not to do in the first place, and what it looks like for two adults to have a painful, yet emotionally mature, conversation and experience together.
