Speak with Eve Eurydice

After millennia of human history, we have separated procreation from sexuality. For the first time in human history, we have the luxury of living our best sexual lives, and we have a million questions and new ideas about how to get there. Yet sexual shame and misinformation make it difficult to have the heart-to-heart conversations. Cancel-culture makes it dangerous to even ask certain questions. And on top of all this, a drawn-out pandemic is making human connection more elusive. Eve Eurydice speak with Dr. Zhana Vrangalova, a NYC-based sex and relationship consultant helping sexually adventurous individuals and couples live authentic, healthy, ethical lives. She holds a PhD in Developmental Psychology from Cornell University, teaches Human Sexuality courses at NYU, and hosts the online Uncensored Conversation series. #Uncensored is a conversation on zoom where people from all over the world discuss sex and relationships openly and honestly, moderated by Dr. Zhana. Her online course, Open Smarter, helps people make smarter decisions exploring non-monogamy. Today more than ever, we need better and longer conversations about sex, love, and relationships. ⚡️For more on Dr Zhana, go to https://www.drzhana.com ⚡️ For more on Speak Sex, go to https://Speaksexpodcast.com ⚡️ For books, art, go to https://Eurydice.net ⚡️ For Apple podcast, subscribe to https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/speak-sex-with-eve/id1448261953 ⚡️For video episodes, subscribe to https://YouTube.com/SpeakSexwithEveEurydice ⚡️Support Eurydice at https://anchor.fm/speaksex/support?ref=radiopublic

Eve Eurydice speaks with Brandon Hobson, author of The Removed and Where the Dead Sit Talking, citizen of the Cherokee nation. Truth is where we are free from identity, right where we overlap with each other. What is UnCensored Writing? How Do We Access the Deeps and How Do We Speak Truth? Creatives are motivated by the risks of journeying through the unknown. Art is an Act of Discomfort. How do we speak the Unspeakable? ⚡️ For more on Brandon, go to https://brandonhobson.com ⚡️For more on Speak Sex, go to https://Speaksexpodcast.com ⚡️ For books, art, go to https://Eurydice.net ⚡️ For Apple podcast, subscribe to https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/speak-sex-with-eve/id1448261953 ⚡️For video episodes, subscribe to https://YouTube.com/EveEurydice #EveEurydice #Indigenouswriter #Nativewriter

Eve Eurydice talks natural birth and human propagation and the rites of womanhood with Ashley Peeler, a wellness coach, environmental health lobbyist, and clean living advisor who specializes in pre/postnatal corrective exercise and prevention from toxic exposure. Put your trust in our nature, not just in our culture! Sex and birth is what we are built for. We discuss medically assisted births, midwifery, birth and death doulas and other ritual thresholders, infertility treatments, emergency C sections, obstetricians, surrogates, and a woman’s right to choose whether she wants to be an object or a subject. We discuss raising healthy children, socialized healthcare, mindful spending, conscious consumerism, use of plastics and fragrances, chemical exposure, chronic illness, hormonal weight gain, migraines, mood and behavioral disorders, auto-immune disorders, anxiety screenings, purchasing choices, and making life choices based on monetary rewards. We discuss slowing down for nature: pregnancy and birth is a huge change. The body takes time to produce child and milk, and needs that time to comprehend that there is a new human at the climax of the birth journey.

Eve Eurydice speaks with Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah, author of Friday Black, about our current googlified Categories of Creative Production and how they censor Creative freedom and Creative Purpose. We discuss Literary Writing as an unending Incantation and Exorcism. We discuss Blackness, Otherness, The Power of Saying No, The Power of Not Belonging in the context of Art. We call for a mass Paradigm Shift. The Patriarchy insists on dividing Mind from Body and monetizing Conceptual and Intellectual labor more than Embodied and Emotional Work. Creative Writing is only one aspect of Art. (Professional Writing, Essay Writing, Teaching of Writing are not.) Creative People Must Take Back the Production of Creation which stems out of Chaos and won’t be systematized. Our best Language is the echo of our beating pulse. So Write down the Body! Write what you’re Afraid to Say! Write what feels to you most Unspeakable!⚡️For more on Nana’s work, go to https://www.nanakwameadjei-brenyah.com.

Eve Eurydice speaks with fashion designer Rene Ruiz, Miami’s premiere designer, dressermaker to the stars, winner of an Emmy for hosting MDC-TV's Fashion Forward documentary series. We discuss Name Brands & Globalization of the Craft, the Value of the Body to counterbalance the Business of the Mind, how Fashion connects the Collective Human Body to the Individual needs and aesthetic expressions. We discuss whether Fashion enslaves & objectifies people. We find the alternative of us all looking alike is so frightening that we can only associate it w tyranny, dictatorship, terror. We criticize Slavej Zizek who is predicting ‘the end of fashion’ & that fashion will become utilitarian. Eve says ‘fashion is the way in which culture daily touches the body intimately.’ Eve believes that ‘fashion is a fun way to show how our identity changes all the time.’ Covid-19 reminded us that We are One Collective Body. We are physically connected & interdependent. Plato described the Republic as an embroidery. Globalism has failed us because without global governance, with no enforcement of global laws, greed & injustice control the global market. The Future of Fashion? Buy Local! Rene was born in Cuba, studied in Europe, & launched his own luxury label in Miami with a sewing machine & $250. ⚡️For more on Rene’s work, go to https://renebyrr.com The Rene by RR philosophy is European craftsmanship forged with the American spirit. ⚡️For more on Speak Sex, Go to https://Speaksexpodcast.com ⚡️ For totes, books, art, merch go to https://Eurydice.net. ⚡️ For Apple podcast, subscribe to https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/speak-sex-with-eve/id1448261953 ⚡️For video episodes, Go to https://YouTube.com/SpeakSexwithEveEurydice ⚡️ www.facebook.com/Speaksexpodcast #speaksexpodcast #eveeurydice #globaltrends #fashion #MiamiDesign #reneruiz #slavejzizek #plato @eveeurydice @speaksexpodcast @reneruiz03 @renebyrr

Eve Eurydice speaks with Hans Morgenstern a writer and film critic journalist and producer for Channel 7 News who is also a practitioner of embodied spiritual intimacy and sexual polarity under the tutelage of John Wineland. In 2019 Hans put his longtime career in arts journalism and film criticism on hold and devoted his free time to yoga, meditation and conscious living. We talk about resetting dating habits, rituals he cultivated to go into conscious celibacy and reinforce it, the men's group he created, the parameters he set with feminine energy, side-effects like quitting drinking and smoking and exercising more, and his studies with #JohnWineland and #DavidDeida. Fresh off a 6-month feminine energy cleanse, Hans says he would still be trudging along lost and disconnected from himself had he not embarked on this New Masculinity.⚡️Men can lead the way into the post-patriarchy. Rather than feel that they are losing anything or that they are being blamed for past injustices. Our fathers & grandfathers stories show us the brutal models of masculinity & femininity that were handed down to us. Outside the strict #genderroles of the patriarchy, they’ll find freedom and become fully fledged humans. We are ripe for a Mass civilizational shift and for that we need men too. Men don’t have to depend on women to expose their emotions their wounds their needs, to live fuller lives. ⚡️For more on Hans’ work, Go to https://indieethos.com.

Eve Eurydice speaks with Darcey Steinke, author of Flash Count Diary, a feminist fearless book about aging, desire, life. We discuss the shame and stigma attached to female aging. Darcey sees menopause as a channel through which new realms of possibility, depth, strength and growth are revealed. Transition from childhood to nubility to motherhood to Menopause is eventful and hormonal. Post Menopause is the first time in our cognizant lives when we can exist as persons free of gender difference & we have the opportunity to be who we are. The masculine capitalist productive time denies the feminine time of rest & embroidery, art & beauty, kinship-making & collective Wisdom. The stigma of menopause is a sign of the lasting power of the patriarchy. Women don’t look forward to the change as an emancipation because the young sexual - FERTILE - woman is very important to the patriarchy. Beauty is a social (patriarchal) programming. Sexuality, the numinous energy of life, is used by patriarchy to keep us all in our place in its reproductive order. We Err on the side of Reason At the expense of Emotion. But the ecstatic ekphrastic traditions—Ritual, Instinct, Faith—are as important as the attributes of Reason. Pregnancy, child rearing, eldercare, art and body care teach us to live in feminine time. If we divorce ourselves from our patriarchal identity, if we don’t get our self worth exclusively from this culture that merely quantifies us, if we remember that we can always choose our identity, as we Discard our reproductive self, we will enter a time of balance and equilibrium. Mature women bring together into the rising feminine the ancestral grandmother knowledge passed down to us & the feminist lessons that the leaders of our movements have given us. In our day, women of menopausal age wield & command extraordinary power. It’s ironic that women come into our most powerful after we complete our maternal work. Most female world leaders —Golda Meir margaret thatcher Indira Gandhi Ruth Ginsburg Madeleine Albright—were elders. We live longer non-fertile than fertile lives. Darcey has also authored the memoir Easter Everywhere and 5 novels: Sister Golden Hair, Milk, Jesus Saves, Suicide Blonde, & Up Through the Water. Her web story Blindspot was in the 2000 Whitney Biennial. For more on Darcey’s work, Go to https://darcey-steinke.com.

An episode for those of you who are alone, unattached or unsatisfied this Valentine’s Day. Of special interest during quarantine. Eve Eurydice speaks with Chris Hume, Director, Editor, Animator, Agitator, Yogi. Autosexuals are still a 90% invisible community. Coming Out is so 20th c. We don’t have to hide our sexuality–if we do, it becomes our taboo or our ‘dirty secret’ & takes on an exclusive air we may not intend for it. It may feel selfish to discuss it but practicing calling desires by their names & asking other people for their experiences helps banish social shame. This is how we evolve: by redescribing, recasting our Sexual drama. Autosexuality was coined by sex therapist Bernard Apfelbaum in 1989 to refer to people who have trouble being turned on by someone else sexually. But feeling turned on by yourself is common; some experience it more like an orientation, feeling more aroused by themselves than by others. Autosexuals are more comfortable in their own company, unlike narcissists who crave outside attention & constant validation. Autosexuals can be pleasers & daters who still prefer private personal sexual experiences. Auto sexuality starts w self-consolation & going out alone before it becomes a preference.

Eve Eurydice speaks with 21-year-old gamer Raphael Lewis about the vast parallel universe of interactive online gaming. 2020 gave men more social permission to hang out online on Discord etc. In real life people are stuck replicating ancient & obsolete gender-based roles that used to be proper. Online, People Learn that We Have Full Control of Our Identity & We can change Who We Are, How we Present. In real life it’s hard to understand that we all have Agency & don’t have to obey. People who play online games w friends report feeling better. 40% of players want to financially support themselves by playing if they can find a way. The inter-action is more attractive than the passivity of TV or other screen watching. Gaming is the Future of Entertainment. Multiplayer MML games add the fun of the unpredictability of human interaction to spectator entertainment. Interaction is the future of education replacing our authoritative centralized system. E-games are growing bigger than any sport (U.S. teams lag far behind their counterparts in Asia, where e-sports are a way of life, where gamers compete as children and pros train 18 hours a day.) Gaming Liberates young men from brutal bloody rituals of scarification & war, from the duty of killing each other, calling each other out to duels, being drafted to war, fighting it out. Young men Experience all that metaphorically while growing up—experience sexism aggression opposition competitiveness through roles & avatars. This gets them out of the extreme stereotyping of their normative, dualist identity-forming required in the ‘normal’ world. Number 1 game in the world is: #LeagueofLegends. Number 2 is: #WorldofWarcraft. Number 3 is: #Minecraft. Number 4 is: Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six, #Siege. Number 5 is: #AmongUs. Followed by: #CallofDuty, #AngryBirds, #CandyCrush, #Destiny2.
