Happy Thanksgiving! We decided to give the hosts and crew the day off to rest and celebrate with their families this week, but that doesn't mean you can't have some hot, fresh video to watch today! Vi La Bianca is joined by Rudy Bee and Hanna Vaughn in her debut on the show, and they'll be digging into the ol' mailbag to answer your questions.

Living in a religious world it can be easy to forget that we’re all just talking primates with fancy computers. Our feelings, our beliefs and our relationships can all be confounded by the idea that there’s a way we were meant to be, should be or are supposed to behave. Annette James returns to the show this week to share with us fascinating evolutionary psychology and interpersonal neurobiology to help us reinterpret our mood and better understand our role on earth, not as fallen angels but as risen apes. We’ll use polyvagal theory and the latest research on our hearts and minds to learn how to communicate with our partners and with ourselves, plus your calls on the Atheist Community of Austin’s Secular Sexuality!

Secular Sexuality 07.46 2020-11-19 with Christy Powell, Vi La Bianca and Billie Beard

One of the most interesting challenges of doing a YouTube show as a podcast with live callers is the challenge of keeping everyone’s voices clear for the audience. As fans of the show no doubt know, names like Sera, Rudy or Christy don’t necessarily ‘sound’ the way we’ve been raised to expect they should. Where do those expectations come from? What should we be doing to dismantle them? Is it okay to explore who we are, with our voices? Billie Beard comes back to the show to lend her voice to a discussion on voice therapy and trans culture, plus to hear your voice and take your calls!

Relationships are hard, or at least important enough to spend an hour and a half each week talking about, right? We talk a lot about how relationships can get much harder when they don’t follow the typical patterns of our culture- polyamorous lesbians in a d/s dynamic don’t experience quite the same social support or mindful accommodations afforded a more typical relationship. But what to do if your relationship or your mind itself is atypical, on a neurological level? Miss O Kissed returns to the show to share more with us about her journey, walking us through her ASD diagnosis and life and love on the spectrum, plus your questions!

You’ll hear it in any hypnotherapist’s office- all hypnosis is self-hypnosis. And since SecX is the type of show that wraps each week with an entreatment for the self-treatment, we decided to do a little more digging into the dreamy world of erotic hypnosis. Eve of Eve’s Garden joins Christy and Vi in one of our favorite pre-taped interviews to discuss the mysterious and affirming power of fantasy and the human mind, mixed with your live calls and questions on this Guy Fawkes Day episode of Secular Sexuality!

The Atheist Community prides itself on a reliance on science so in true SecX tradition we made sure our scientist guest was also a pod *scratch that* porncaster. We’re joined by Scibabe and science journalist Yvette d'Entremont from Two Girls One Mic and anywhere junk science jumps onto the scene to sell you a supplement. Yvette writes and speaks on everything from genes and GMOs to sex and splenda and now joines the show to take your calls on the October 15th episode of Secular Sexuality.
