Bedside

INTERVIEW: Today's episode features Gina Gutierrez, co-founder of the audio erotica app Dipsea. The best way I describe Gina's product is a hybrid between audio books and guided meditation ~ but sexy. It's a millennial, female-gaze-focused, and tasteful take on erotic short stories. A direct response to what Gina herself felt was missing in the conventional sex entertainment space. In this interview, Gina gets real with Bedside about her own sexual wellness routines, what contemporary content creation looks like for Dipsea, and what she's dreamed up for the future of her company. What are you waiting for? Go listen, and we promise you'll leave with a new favorite way to explore your own pleasure.

INTERVIEW: Today's conversation is with Bryan Stacy, a sexual confidence educator, speaker, and CEO of Biem Health — an STD health testing app. Bryan’s agenda is to bring taboo dialog to the forefront of conversation between men. Topics that tap into emotional fluency, desire, vulnerability, and fear. In this interview, Bryan uncovers with Bedside his own upbringing, the surprising story which brought him to his work, and the narratives behind masculinity. Stacy breaks all this down for us and more as he offers a whole new outlook and opportunity to rebuild what we, and especially men, have been raised to believe.

INTERVIEW: In today's episode, Bedside chats with New York City based OBGYN Dr. Candice Fraser to discuss contraceptives, and how to best navigate the world of birth control, mental health, and the questions you really should be asking your doctor. Some of you may be familiar with Candice, we’ve covered her on the Milk Bedside series where she unpacked for us her life as a Pastor’s Kid, all the way down to the ins and outs of the GYNO visit. This interview covers vital tips that I hope leave you feeling more prepared in reclaiming your own sexual health practices, and equipped for having more informative and intentional conversations with your own doctor.

INTERVIEW: Have you ever taken a close look at the everyday products you use? Especially the ingredients that are in your sexual health products? Today’s guest Meika Hollender has, and as cofounder of Sustain Naturals it's her mission to do so, ruthlessly. In today's conversation Bedside sits down with Meika, a wellness superstar pioneering a movement of ingredient transparency and sustainability for feminine hygiene. Meika has been listed as Forbe’s 30 under 30, and is the author of Get on Top, a resource for women on pleasure, sexuality, and understanding what’s really going on down there. She is passionate about non-toxic, organic and sustainable sexual health for everyone, and on a mission to give people the tools to take control of their bodies. During our conversation we unpack the story of how Meika and her Dad got the idea for Sustain, her mission toward ingredient transparency, and how our bodies have the power to give us the most important information and signals.

INTERVIEW: Consider this episode your Queer History 101. I chat with Jonathan Katz, a leading activist and academic pioneer working at the intersection of art and LGBTQI+ history. Katz has a distinct background, rising with the queer movement since he first began his work in the early 90’s, and continuing on to be the first tenured faculty in Gay and Lesbian studies in the United States. In our conversation, Katz and I chat about his own coming-of-age, the importance of homosexualization in art, and where he predicts the future of identity is headed. This is an episode not to miss.

INTERVIEW:

In episode 2 of the Bedside Podcast, I sit down with three New York City high school students to talk about what sex education looks like at one of the most prestigious schools in the country. We chat about growing up in the digital age, and what these teens wish adults really knew about adolescents and sex. This episode is a vital look into the minds of teens in 2019, and is incredible insight for especially parents & teachers.

INTERVIEW: It's finally here! In this first episode of the Bedside Podcast, I chat with Al Vernacchio, a renowned sex-positive Human Sexuality educator based in Philadelphia. I had the pleasure to sit in on one of Vernacchio's human sexuality classes a few weeks ago, and left thinking to myself, Al is one of those people who is changing the world one teenager at a time. Vernacchio has been featured on four TED Talks, The New York Times Magazine, NPR, and lectured workshops across the country. In our conversation, Vernacchio and I chat about our current sex landscape and his philosophies on how we should really be talking about sex. He shares invaluable advice for navigating your own sexual values, and much more.
