On ep 109 we explore the parallels between the kink and gaming cultures with Shanna Germain. It turns out these groups can learn a lot from each other-- especially along the lines of negotiation, consent, and aftercare. Shanna is doing her part to facilitate consent in RPGs (role-playing games) and offers a free resource for gamers. On the same token, those in the BDSM world can expand their horizons by embracing the spirit of play and roleplay gaming principles. We talk about misogyny in the gaming world and what's being done to create room for diversity plus Shanna gives tips and guidelines to gamers that want to consensually include more adult themes in their games as well as for sex-positive folks that want to give gaming a try. She also talks about authoring many fantasy erotica books and we learn about 'cozy games' that facilitate emotional intimacy, vulnerability and sexy times between consenting adults.

Lee Harrington joins us for a discussion about sacred kink on episode 108 of American Sex Podcast. If sacred sexuality, ritual, and sex magic aren't your cup of tea, hold up. Lee explains how the altered states of consciousness and profound emotional shifts experienced during adult play are universal. He teaches us to translate language about these experiences to fit our own personal belief systems. We discuss viewing the sacred through the lens of technology, how to pervert spirituality & identify when that's appropriate, the practical reality of sex magic we all can benefit from, reconciling your religious beliefs with your kinky desires, feminism and BDSM, combating the "one twue way" thinking in both kink and organized religion, and so much more. Lee makes spiritual concepts mind-blowingly accessible even to those that regard themselves as more science-minded. This episode is not to be missed!

On episode 107 sex blogger Lizet (aka @SexologyBae) tells us about how she unlearned the sexual shame instilled in her from her Southern Christian upbringing. She describes teenage purity ceremonies she attended, how being taught to value virginity above all else negatively impacted her developing sexuality, and the consequences of religious oppression not only on her own life but on society as a whole. We also get into political and cultural stereotypes about the south, how people with marginalized identities can unknowingly replicate and reinforce oppression, unpacking privilege, and what all of those things have to do with sex and sexuality. Lizet also kicks off a pleasure product giveaway on her blog for American Sex listeners.

On episode 106 Callie Wright of the Queersplaining Podcast has a candid conversation with us about her experience with bottom surgery. She shares a snapshot at life leading up to surgery including establishing her trans identity. Then Callie takes us step-by-step through the physical & mental prep, recovery, and the procedure itself. During the two years that followed, Callie learned that reclaiming her sexuality with her new vagina was multi-layered--it affected her marriage, her relationship with her body, and sex from a psychological perspective. Although it isn't typical (or expected) for trans folks to openly talk about their genitals, having these conversations is important to Callie. This information can be reaffirming and necessary for those that opt for bottom surgery and are rediscovering their sexuality.

This week's episode is a personal one. We talk to Sunny's 91-year-old Uncle George. He tells us what it was like growing up as a gay man in Chicago in the 1940s. This was when being 'homosexual' was illegal and frequenting gay bars and meeting places could result in jail time. George traveled to dozens of countries throughout the mid 20th century, some more accepting than the US and others downright dangerous for gay travelers. An incident in South Africa almost landed him in prison for murder! George recounts living through the AIDS crisis and losing dear friends, how acting conservative with those he was out to ensured his security, the pain of having to hide his lifestyle & partners from family, the very first pride parades, his opinion on LGBTQ+ issues today, the struggles gay elderly people face, brushes with gay celebrities in the golden age of Hollywood, and more. Oh, and he has some choice words for our president too.
