For our season finale, we are joined by Witch Wilde, who introduces us to Sex Magix theories. She shares how to direct sexual energy towards manifesting your desires, increasing your vitality and connecting with the cosmos. She also guides us in an incredible grounding/energy harnessing exercise that you are going to want in on. The conversation spans the many modalities that have influenced Wilde's practice: alchemy, tantra, taoism, toning, sigils, breathwork, visualization. If you are intrigued by taking your sexual practices out of the mundane - this episode is for you.

Remember when slimline vibrators and stashed Hustler mags were all you could get your hands on?? Sarah and Robin take a walk down memory lane with Robin’s teenage journals! We tease and love hard on our younger selves while unpacking the challenges of coming into one’s self as an adolescent girl and all of the ways mysogynistic scripts shapes our sexuality. Join us showing some love, kindness and advice to our teenage selves.

An old friend, Mike Squillacioti, joins us to share the juicy details of how his marriage evolved into a throuple. We learn about his go-go dancing days at the iconic West Hollywood club, Mickeys, his sweet courtship with his hubby there, and how 12 years later they met their boyfriend, Dakota Payne, while (you guessed it) he was go-go dancing. We share laughs, revel in the joy of the dance floor and go-go dancing as the ultimate embodiment practice, and enjoy Mike’s sweet and saucy tales of non-monogamy. Sarah introduces Robin to the concept of compersion to round out the episode.

Writer, comedian Kristen Smith, joins the pod this week and brings great levity to an incredibly hard topic… the big C. Kristen shares what got her through the double whammy of becoming a mom after receiving a Follicular Lymphoma diagnosis. Spoilers Kristen’s years of saying yes (improv style), You Are a Badass by Jen Sincero, Ayahuasca, the Care Bear stare, and her unwavering sense of humor and ability to find the good all have something to do with it.

80s cartoon / childhood references abound in this episode. If nostalgia is your thing, this episode’s for you.

Lizanne Deliz, of Eye of Crow Herbs, joins us for a rich discussion about herbalism and pleasure. She shares about ways to interact with plants without foraging or collecting them, how plants work holistically as medicine, and how to increase your pleasure through plant medicines. She also teaches us about spirit doses, a way of taking plant medicines for spiritual guidance, and shares a recent (very hot) encounter with sex workers that left her feeling mighty good about herself!

Sarah shares a pleasure “garden” practice with Robin to round out the episode.

Robin's bro, Brian Jennings, joins us for a super nerdy conversation that spans D&D, Star Trek, Rocky Horror, and the quintessential latchkey upbringing that contributed to both Brian and Robin's individuality. Brian is a gamer, programmer and kinkster. When he discovered there were not any kinky virtual reality games on the market, he and his partner made one! Dominatrix Simulator utilizes the movement tracking available in VR, storytelling, and a 40 story tall Goddess and her Mistresses to get players into sub space. We talk about all of the cool, immersive features of the game while Brian gives Sarah and Robin an education on kinky adult games. Sarah also leads Robin through a rousing alternative anatomy lesson, a new quiz segment that we promise will be as fun (and infuriating) for you as it was for our hosts!

Happy holidays, y'all! Thank you so much for tuning in this year. We will be taking a week off for the new year and will return January 5th with our first listener Q&A. In the meantime, make sure to check out Dominatrix Simulator and have a pleasure-filled end to 2022!

Accomplished writer, podcaster (Why Are People Into That?!?), educator, and kink connoisseur, Tina Horn joins Sarah and Robin to unpack consensual non-consent. Tina brings her signature wit and intellect to this nuanced discussion about total power exchange. The conversation covers why non-consensual dynamics can be enticing to explore in play and the metaphorical nature of fantasy play. We dive into how complicated it is to clearly define consent and dismantle rape culture, the appeal of monster sex, BDSM as storytelling, and we learn about the 90s heartthrobs that left an impression on Tina. The conversation wraps up with a glimpse into Tina's process of developing her riveting, sex-positive, sci fi dystopian comic book series SfSx.

CW: this episode touches on forced sex, and rape fantasies. Please take care while listening.

Lucie Fielding, author of Trans Sex: Clinical Approaches to Trans Sexualities and Erotic Embodiments, joins Sarah and Robin to dive into the concept of erotic embodiment. We explore Mary Poppins as a femme root, learn the term fluidic as an erotic experience, and discuss how the field of sex therapy is breaking out of some of it's puritanical underpinnings through the efforts of practitioners like Lucie (or Dr. Fielding, if you're nasty). Lucie also introduces us to the concept of gender pleasure and how it is taking shape in her work and delivers some expert tips on muffing that blow our minds.

This episode is rich with references (links below) from Lucie's intersecting experience as a writer, erotic literary scholar, sex therapist, and pleasure-affirming, somatic practitioner. Lucie Fielding, PhD, MA, LMHCA, Resident in Counseling (she/they) is a white, neurodivergent, queer, trans misogyny affected (TMA) femme, and a therapist practicing in Virginia and Washington (on Monacan lands and unceded Duwamish territory, respectively). They specialize in sex therapy, kink-knowledgeable therapy, 2SLGBTQIA-knowledgeable therapy, sex work-affirming therapy; and they work from narrative, imaginal, and somatic frameworks that honor the (intergenerational) wisdom of the body, promote community-care, and support empowered embodied eroticism. They are the author of Trans Sex: Clinical Approaches to Trans Sexualities and Erotic Embodiments (2021), which was awarded an AASECT Book Award in 2022 (Sexuality Professionals Category) and named a finalist for a 2022 Lambda Literary Award (Lammy) in the Transgender-Nonfiction category.
