Finding My Yum

This week we are joined by the inspiring LP Watts! She's a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and psychological researcher with a professional focus on emotional intelligence and sex education. In part one of this two parter, we talk about sex education, how to view it differently, and the importance of building that conversation with your children. It's hugely informative and actionable, enjoy!

As we are staring down another potential quarantine, we wanted to rebroadcast this episode for those of you stuck inside with your partner! We welcome Isabella Frappier (sexual healer, doula and founder of Geri's favorite facebook group) back with open arms to discuss how to take advantage of the time we're allowed with this pandemic. We hear tips on how to keep things spicy, but also get practical advice on how to take this moment and reimagine what sex means - and can mean - to you. 

We are thrilled to bring you this episode with Alex Creswick. They're a sensitivity reader and social impact producer, and we initially wanted to discuss just what those roles mean in the entertainment industry - while we definitely touched on the evolution of both of those jobs, we ended up talking about so much more. From the need for huge systemic changes to the problem with diversity initatives (they don't do *enough*) to representation in all areas of production. 

You do *not* want to miss this episode - this week we are joined by the wonderful Mistress Velvet! A Chicago based Dominatrix, she specialized in BDSM and Black Feminist Theory - and her submissives are often exposed to both. She talks to us about how she got into her career, the way she uses her platform to promote social justice, and the effect it has had on her clients (the work Mistress Velvet is inspiring is amazing to hear about!)

Because it looks like we're going back into quarantine, we're bringing this one back! In the series, we are talking with The O-Man. Personal trainer turned movement educator turned sex guru, he goes deep into how a woman can learn to squirt - and how her partner can help get her there. A great past time when you're stuck at home!

If you'd like to talk with him, you can reach out here - [email protected] or see his website here - www.the-o-man.com 

Let us know if it works for you!

Are you stuck inside? Do you want to support a good cause? This week we have an amazing recommendation for The Virtual Strip Club! We are joined by admin Phoenix to learn all about her entry into the world of stripping, what this new kind of strip club looks like, why virtual strip clubs might just be better than an in person experience - and how you can participate on either side of the screen.

This week we talk with Nenna Joiner, founder of Berkely and Oakland based sex shop Feelmore. They tell us about the challenges they've faced opening a sex shop - from general community stigma to intersectional challenges as the founder of the only black-woman-owned sex shop in Oakland. When you listen to Nenna's story, you'll be inspired by their hustle - and learn to not take no for an answer. 

In part 2 of 'quarantining behind the mic' we talk with Geri about her experience! Listen to hear what it's like quarantining with a new partner, and what all the extra time has meant for someone who lives life with a busy schedule. It's a huge adjustment both ways, but is it a blessing in disguise?

This week (and next!) we talk to our hosts about what the quarantine experience has been like for them. This week we hear from Will about quarantining alone, working for the weekends that no longer exist, and even a few attempts at digital dating!
