All good things must come to a pause and so as we make space for our staff to refresh their minds and heal their chafing we say a short bon voyage to one another. In this SecX Sign-Off Spectacular featuring hosts old and new our time together comes to a definitive middle while we look back on our many jollies and follies and prepare for the adventure ahead. Please enjoy this final episode before our hiatus and of course, through all the sweat and tears, save some fluids for the instructions you know are coming at the end.

Mindfulness is one of those wibbly wobbly timey wimey words that seems to mean everything and nothing all at once which… honestly is a little on brand for the American idea of Buddhist psychology. But like, what actually is any of this? And what, if anything at all, can 2,500 years of what we can only charitably call ‘research’ have to say about our modern life and times? Licensed Therapist David Teachout joins Kara and Christy for a discussion on the east-meets-west rumble between Buddha and Freud. Your calls and questions, buddhist psychology and of course what’s turning us on on this penultimate episode of SecX!

Bring your body positivity all the way downtown and join Kara, Phoebe and Erin in a conversation about beans, bits and bajingos of all shapes, sizes and scents.

American equality has always been a little more equal for some and nowhere is that more clear than the recent Respect for Marriage Act which failed to fully codify rights granted by the courts in Obergefell v Hodges and Loving v Virginia. Even as those important precedents stand, marriage equality eludes many with financial and medical hardships and its protections exist only for the monogamous. Long-time friend of the show Lily Bacon returns to share her life experiences and day to day realities made less safe in a post Dobbs world. Politicalized polyamory, your calls and questions and what’s turning us on this week on SecX!

Reality Dating may not be the most accurate mirror to hold up to society but it does shine a light on where we’re at as a culture- a biphobic, mate guarding, co-dependent culture.

Kara Griffin corrals a conversation with our panel of pop-corn throwing reality tv star super-stans Phoebe Rose, Miss O Kissed and Licensed Professional Counselor Ashley Hogan to find out once and for all who is here to make friends and who is here to win.
