73. Moments of Sensuality

Are you trying to be someone you're sexually not? In this one, Ev'Yan speaks with asexual storyteller and author of 'Refusing Compulsory Sexuality: A Black Asexual Lens on Our Sex-Obsessed Culture' Sherronda J Brown about the ways compulsory sexuality has shaped and harmed our sexualities. Sherronda talks about how compulsory sexuality shows up in our world, its links to systemic oppression (like ableism, racism, and fatphobia), and how we can see asexuality as a queer identity to radically reject it. Ev'Yan also shares a practice to help you uncover your sexual authenticity outside of stories of "should".

72. Refusing Compulsory Sexuality

Are you in a consensual relationship with your body? In this one, Ev'Yan speaks with Jonathan Mead, a body relationship and movement coach (and also Ev'Yan's partner) about what it means to be in a trusting, respectful relationship with your body. They discuss how fitness culture has helped create toxicity between ourselves and our body's messages, what it looks like to be kind to our nervous systems, and how we can start mending a relationship with our bodies that can help us access more ease, safety, and softness within ourselves.
Announcement! Ev'Yan and Jonathan will be doing a workshop together exploring in real-time what it means to trust our bodies and flow with our sensual selves—with movement, breathwork, and gentle curiosity. Go here to register.

71. A Consensual Relationship with Your Body

How has your experience of your sexual self been shaped by what you grew up understanding (or not) about sex? In this one, Ev’Yan speaks with Melissa Carnagey (she/they) about what it means + how to raise sex positive kids. Melissa speaks about why “age appropriate” sex ed might not be as useful as you think and what to do instead, why this work is so controversial in culture right now, and where to actually start when approaching sex and body talks with young ones (and it’s not with a particular book). At the end, Ev’Yan shares a sensual practice to help you connect to and reparent your younger self around sex positivity.
