Eve Eurydice speaks conscious sex with Kitty Chambliss, founder of the Loving Without Boundaries website & fb community, & relationship coach & polyeducator. Her mission is to normalize ethical monogamy--a monogamy that partners who can speak Sex can negotiate & agree on. The patriarchy’s 'rule' has been that exclusive monogamy is ethical &, by partiarchy's law of opposites, all non-monogamy is immoral. By separating our moral from sexual practices, we can be true & honest to our partners & to our authentic evolving selves. Kitty has written numerous blog posts on these topics, incl. her "Jealousy Survival Guide," & interviewed folks who specialize in the field of emergent conscious sexuality on her podcast. Ethical non monogamy is a way to save marriages & long term partnerships. As we evolve out of our sexual oppression into experimentation with honest freedom, we must slow down our learned reactions so we can be sure we behave not as we have been taught but from authenticity. We can heal each trauma or jealousy or insecurity as we become aware of it. Uncomfortable feelings are engine lights that go on to tell us we need to heal something. Lasting intimacy is unconditional acceptance. The norm still insists on the old obsolete way of being a couple when most marriages end in divorce. The dominant culture glorifies & spotlights that tunnel vision of romance & true love. We haven’t had healthy role models in our parents who were deeper in the old social conditioning. So we all have to change our social conditioning to begin to approximate our truth. We owe it to our children first & then to our partners & to ourselves to bring awareness to the world. If you want a life of integrity, if you wanna be Sex positive in a Sex negative world, Speak Sex!

Eve Eurydice speaks with Dr. Lea Lis, best known as the shameless psychiatrist, author of the book “No Shame: Real Talk with Your Kids.” Dr. Lis shares healthy ways out of our fear & shame. Our discomfort with sex is the result of the narrative of shame that tells us that sex involves loss disease trauma; this narrative leads people to self-medicate in order to be sexual with each other because all our formative cultural messages tell us Don’t do it Don’t do it Don’t (often in the voices of our parents!) even though we are all hard wired to be sexual & to experience consensual sex as pleasure. Society puts up barriers to adulthood. Sexual initiation feels unsafe throughout a person’s life. Systemic change requires not only individuals seeking therapy or coaching or advice, but us as a society to make a mass change that eliminates peer pressure, generational prohibitions, intersectional disrespect etc. For more, go to https://speakwithEve.com or http://www.youtube.com/speaksexwithEveEurydice/ More about Dr. Lea https://www.drlealis.com  Support Eurydice at https://anchor.fm/speaksex/support?ref=radiopublic

Eve Eurydice speaks with Kathryn Mikesell, co-founder & executive director of Fountainhead Arts Residency & Studios non-profit. We discuss her relationship with motherhood, art, community, career—& money in the art world & the post-covid world, the SHARE Economy & the unpaid labor that is motherhood. Kathryn created the ideal job for her. Her openness to self-creation, self-invention, & change is what America does best. She started in car sales, moved into technology & brought her skills into the world of art. For Kathryn & for Eve work is about the people, people caring about each other, in synergy & synchronicity. We all open each other up. We spotlight each other. We close with a talk on Money Matters. After 12-16 yrs in school most Americans lack financial literacy. People have just as difficult a time talking about money as sex. The language of money is the language of intimacy. Let’s speak together with openness & compassion.

Eve Eurydice speaks with Chloe & Jessie, PhD students in Gender Studies at Yale & UC Berkeley who are a loving gay couple (one of them is trans). We talk about the fractured state of liberal feminism after the 2016 election & the direct correlation between today’s feminism & the anti capitalism anti racism anti mass incarceration anti police movements that challenge the existing hierarchical structures of oppression. It’s important to interrogate the way we each see ourselves & place ourselves in the world in order to improve it. If oppression first happened because of the gender discrepancy in biological reproduction; if male oppression of females is the first & oldest systemic oppression, driven by male biological insecurity & resulting urge to take over & control the means of Re/Production; then all oppression is based on the model of patriarchal control of the womb. This doesn’t mean that the role we play in reproduction places us in donation-oppression categories ‘naturally.’ This oppression doesn’t happen in nature. In fact, women’s oppression was intensified in Victorian times with the advent of the Industrial Revolution & Colonialism. As we evolve, our vocabulary keeps changing; we get to coin words for things that were unspeakable or shameful; new words that come free of judgment & self harming shame; so by participating in speaking sex, we get to use more words that speak of social change & expand our own voice. Rather than go on with the vocabulary we grew up with that hurts people’s feelings & disrespects or marginalizes most of us in different ways, we can choose to update our vocabulary. That’s the mission of Speaking Sex. For more, go to @speaksexpodcast or https://Speaksexpodcast.com or Facebook.com/Speaksexpodcast/

Eve Eurydice speaks with Heather Montgomery, founder & CEO of pleazeme.com, the facebook of sexuality. This online community for sexual awareness & inclusivity offers personalized worlds & interactions. Membership is by avatar--anonymous & free. We can’t talk about sexual harassment without talking about Sex. We can’t have sexual abuse without sexual health. MeToo opened the floodgates Of speaking Sex in the World. It has Helped Make Sex Visible & helped us begin to accept our sexuality openly without feeling devalued humiliated disrespected & Sex shamed. How do we Release the Old Defenses that Once Kept Us Women Safe in order to Make Choices That Free Up Our Creativity & Capacity to Heal Ourselves & Each Other? How do we unlearn our unconscious sexual views & prejudices & practices? How do we overcome these social biases & embrace our bodies & sexuality honestly? How do we Protect children from sex trafficking & mental slavery? We start by Letting Go Our Attachment to our Learned Habits. The internet is full of learning platforms that encourage Women’s Sexual Genital Presence in the public sphere. We start by admitting that we are each a naked body. Instead of using power to obtain sex, we can trust our body to lead the way to sexual health. Instead of exchanging sex as a commodity, we can aim to Heal the world through safe, open sexuality. That’s the task of our sexual liberation. The dominant  social structure has made normative macho males dominant & normative femme women submissive. It wants us to restrict & demonize & belittle & shame sexuality. We need fresh tools to communicate about sexuality in order to break the cycle of abuse & provide healing to the sexually abused so the world can be a happier, healthier place. Our coping mechanisms are to Control Or Please others )get along, avoid conflict), Self-Isolate (go into our head) or Distract ourselves away from our own evolution. 90% of women have been sexually abused raped assaulted harassed. 100% have felt fear of attack while in public. 100% of women have self censored, dressed down, toned down, hidden & disguised their bodies to earn more social respect & more physical security. By age 24 most living women have experienced sexual harassment. By 48 they will again if we don’t change the culture. Our Sexuality binds us together. Our sexual perspectives don’t divide us the way our sociopolitical perspectives do. It’s healthy for us as individuals not to be too precisely defined by our habits, to be open to evolving & adapting to the consciousness updates that happen to us as we mature.

Eve Eurydice speaks with artists Kathy Kissik & Maia Lyn-Simmora about the monetization of sex in our culture that trains us to eroticize the domination & dehumanization of our beloved. Monetization of Intimacy devalues our Humanity. Regardless of our moral views on Sugar Baby culture, Sex Tourism, Mail Brides, Millionaire Match, The Bachelor, Seeking Arrangements, Ashley Madison type dating apps are a backlash. Sex Lib has been turned into another business for the patriarchy (Daddy rule). Sex for profit perpetuates the separation of self from sex & the primacy of the male (the taker, the payer, the client, the customer) that devalues the female. When men pay, women feel indebted, obligated to service the men in exchange; that affects our view of sexuality & the type & quality of the sex exchange. Demonetizing sex starts in our heads. Finding our truth is worth a loss of income. Liberating sexuality from its monetization is a healthy practice of self-liberation, self-dignity, self-understanding. Money for sex empowers the Dom/Sub binary hierarchy in our society. It is not ‘normal’ that the body, & esp. the female body, is sub to the mind, & esp. the male mind, & is paid little or nothing for the labor only the body can do, which includes birth & motherhood. This monetary distribution rewards generational wealth in families of privilege & propagates cliche dynamics of marriage & romance that perpetuate female monetary dependency.

Eve Eurydice speaks with Farah C Yamini & Rosen T Gordon, non-binary queer Miami-based poets, activists, scholars. Farah is programming director of Reading Queer & mentors the SoFla Protest Poets. Rosen is the administrator of the Rainbow Rights PAC, member of SoFla Protest Poets & performs slam poetry centering zhir identities. Naming has long been a normative tool of the patriarchy. Gender claiming is a creative human act: we get to create who we are in the world & how we are described. Our orientation, our attraction, our sexuality. We get to redefine it as we evolve. We don’t have to embody static identities. There are so many different forms of attraction. We can clarify our desires for the sake of honest communication & at the same time participate in the creation & use of the language. Linguistic intimacy, linguistic respect & specificity are a daily means of social intervention & resistance to the dominant propaganda. Rosen T. Gordon (zhe, zhir, zhirs) utilizes the intersectionality framework coined by Kimberlé Williams Crenshaw in zhir fight for the rights of LGBTQIA+ POC marginalized communities & fights for social justice. Rosen guides us into the practice of renaming & specifying our gender identity, understanding how & why.

Eve Eurydice speaks with drag comedian Tommy Strangie aka Shelley Novak, creator of the Shelley Novak Awards, host of the Shut Up and Listen! w Shelley Novak podcast. Shelley was voted Best of Drag by the Miami New Times twice and received the city of MB Local Hero Pink Flamingo award. Shelley started her career at Kenny Scharf’s hotel in the Birdcage-Priscilla, Queen of the Desert-Lucky Changs-Gianni Versace-Madonna-Gloria Estefan 90s and has been a Miami drag icon for 27 years. Shelley shares her take on Ru Paul, Courtney Act, Bianca del Rio, Serena ChaCha, and S.F. classic Drag Queens Adora, Queef Latina and Elaine Lancaster. In the great tradition of men dressing as women, Gender Illusionists are nightlife staples because people visit Miami to let down their social mask and their social branding facade. The gay community lost a generation during the AIDS crisis in the 80s and recognizes the Dis-ease analogies with covid-19 as illness-phobia brainwashes people into predictable, normative behavior. Gender blender is a self liberation practice, and freedom from self is freedom from patriarchy since 'self' is a construct of the patriarchy. Getting in a dress is a political act. Shelley recites George Carlin’s '7 Words You’ll Never Hear on Television' and helps people take care of each other. #pride #speaksex @justsayshelley @speaksexpodcast or visit www.soundcloud.com/shelleynovak https://speaksexpodcast.com  https://eurydice.net Go to https://Speaksexpodcast.com https://Eurydice.net

Eve Eurydice speaks sex with Dr. Cara Quant, an internal medicine physician & the founder of Viva La Vulva, an organization that educates on female sexual health via multimedia visual arts events that bring together art & medicine & use art for social healing. Viva La Vulva’s mission is to break down the barriers that stop us from talking & learning about female sexual health in a way that transcends race, culture, age or geography. Dr. Cara noticed women’s sexual health issues are overlooked by the medical community, incl. sexual abuse & coercion, pregnancy, pelvic stress, menopause, cultural norms, STD protection & lack of desire. We discuss the importance of right & left brain integration & our goal to get our message to as many people as possible. In a society that devalues motherhood & femininity & views sexual pleasure as time-wasting indulgence, many women are more comfortable talking about sex w their doctors. We discuss the medical benefits of sexual pleasure & female orgasm. Education is the key to overcoming social prejudice & silence. Did you know that the clitoris has 8000 nerve endings & its only purpose is female pleasure?
