In this episode I speak with Dr. Evelin Dacker, executive director of SexPositive Portland. We discuss:

• Mission of SexPositive Portland
• Why is sex important for our mental health or otherwise?
• What are the consequences of denying our sexual nature?
• How would one go about exploring their sexuality?
• Myth-busting:
  • Porn leads to "deviance"
  • Masturbation is for people who can't get laid
  • Polyamory is for sex addicts
  • BDSM and kink are unhealthy
• How can someone who is single explore these things without a partner?
• What can a cis-gendered, straight, vanilla person learn from the queer/poly/kink community even if they have no interest in any of those lifestyles?
