Secular Sexuality

Porn, huh? What is it good for? This supposedly “new drug” arguably dates back to prehistory and yet our access to and relationship with it have dramatically shifted in the last decade, and not always for the better. Join us as Christy, Laura and Sinn explore the messy and often sticky world of erotic audio, dime store paperbacks and good ole fashioned internet porn. Catch the episode live and add your thoughts and questions or tune in just to find out what’s turning us on this week as we explore the height, breadth and um, girth of all things naked or nasty on this week’s SecX!

Perhaps as many as a third of us are neurodiverse- equipped out of the box with a brain that doesn’t neatly fit into our world because of ADHD, ASC, dyslexia, sensory processing and a handful of other considerations. Marie LePage, everyone’s favorite deconstructive and spiritual atheist, friend of the show, tells us their story of masking, loving and living with a neurodivergent diagnosis. Marie, Myself and I host Marie LePage, Christy, what’s turning us on and your calls and questions on this week’s SecX!

If modern media is to be believed our forefathers were serious people with simple demands- the freedom to bear arms, buy cheap gas and believe in whatever alternative facts they choose. In a post Truth/ post Trump world it’s starting to feel like the message has gotten a little messy. The ACA’s own Kenneth Leonard joins Christy in a conversation about J6th, CRT, MTG, HRT and what will probably be the death of me as we explore Christian nationalism and the future of America.

The old joke goes something like this- A man and a woman sit down with a therapist complaining about their sex life. “He wants it all the time, we never stop having sex/ she’s never in the mood, we practically never make love” they explain. “How often do you actually have sex?” the therapist asks. “Once or twice a week” they agree in unison. As old jokes go it’s a B minus but the truth is it captures the narrative of our culture while being exhaustingly, mind numbingly out of touch with the real life needs and stories of couples struggling with healthy and normal desire discrepancies. This week Dr. Sexology herself, Dr. Renee Lanctot, DHS joins Christy in a conversation about who wants what, why, and what to do about it. The battle for the sexes, your calls and questions plus what’s turning us on this week on SecX!

For the optimist, half full; the pessimist, half empty. To MD Aware it’s just another urine sample but whether you are a doctor, or a lawyer or a business executive how we think about trans bodies matters. Whether we understand gender as a social construct, a biological imperative or an economic opportunity to sell two of everything the way we vote, the way we care and the way we live is tied to the way we interpret this fundamental piece of our humanity. Truth Wanted’s resident medical expert and research scientist MD Aware joins the show this week to walk Christy through a series of models and medicalized points of view for understanding gender and ourselves. Medicine and manhood, philosophy, femininity, what’s turning us on this week and so much more on SecX!

When you don’t believe in god or hell or eternal damnation and think that sex and body positivity are important values, it can be really hard to find exactly the right words to describe what is going on in state legislatures all across the country. If these queer targeted and religiously minded policies really do reflect the prevailing culture of the land then I suppose while in Rome we can swear as the Christian nationalists do and goddamn this f*cking dumbass bigotry straight to hell. Journalist and friend of the show Chrissy Stroop returns this week to help us sift through the grandstanding, redraw the gerrymandering and work to undo the harm brought on by what the Human Rights Campaign is calling the worst year in recent history for state legislation attacking LGBTQ equality. Grab your reading glasses and a couple aspirin as we dig into the legislation, answer your calls and questions and proudly say “Gay!” plus what’s turning us on this week on SecX.

For months now we’ve made a very special point of telling you just exactly what is turning us on but never quite got around to defining what that actually means. Turns out, a lot of people have a lot of assumptions about arousal, desire…tumescence, so it may be time to set the record straight. High Priestess Shannon Q joins Christy in an engorging conversation on turgidity, fluidity and patriarchy, plus of course your calls and questions and what’s turning us on this week, whatever that means.

Drawing your own map and exploring your own boundaries and those of your partner(s) can raise a lot of scary questions- “Friends with ex’s? Pornography? Sex workers? NON-MONOGAMY!? WhErE Do wE DrAw tHe lInE?!?” Psychotherapist and poly advocate Justine Guzman joins Arden and P*ck to formally declare “Fucking somewhere.” Join the conversation with your calls and questions as we explore the boundaries of uncharted territory and of course let you know what’s turning us on this week!
