UNDER COVERS "THE SEX COACH"

Welcome back you sickening bitches!

UNDER COVERS -- FOREST
Sex Ed The Musical
This week’s conversation is with a male, who spent his first 24 years as a female. Not exactly by choice. As Forest says on his website, “Growing up as a doubly closeted gay boy in the Midwest, I cultivated a vivid world inside my head where I felt safe and free. Eventually, I would have to come out of hiding no matter how scary it felt. I realized the fear was never going to disappear, but I felt like I was starting to disappear after so many years of keeping parts of myself boxed in.” For the first 24 years of his life, Forest didn’t have the language to articulate his experience...

UNDER COVERS -- "DAVID"
Sex Ed The Musical
Three years ago on this podcast, I began asking women of different ages, sexual identities and socioeconomic backgrounds a series of questions about the most intimate details of their lives. I called the interviews Under Covers. All of the women were asked the same questions about their sexual awakenings, different partners, early experiences and relationships, with the hope that we could find healing in discovering how much we all share. Well this season, I’ve decided to flip the script. I’m taking the exact questions I asked women, and I’m asking them to men. In this first Under Covers...

Now, I’m super thrilled to be sharing the most downloaded episode from the past season. I know it resonated with a lot of you.
I found a funny quote the other day. It says…
“Dating after 30 is easy. It’s like riding a bike. Only the bike is on fire. And the ground is on fire. Everything is on fire. Because you are in hell.”
Okay. Now imagine dating after 50!
On this week’s show, I interview actress, voice artist and my good pal, Mari Weiss. Mari was on the podcast nearly two years ago in an episode called How Being Tied Up Released Me. She shared an amazing story about dating a guy who slowly-yet-firmly led her into the world of BDSM.
Her first surprise was how willing she was to obey him.
Her second surprise was how much she enjoyed it.
Before and since then, Mari, like many other single folks, has gone on more than her share of dates. But unlike the days when you’re 25 and sprucing yourself up to no end in order to meet some grown man in a baseball cap, when you’re 50+ you have a lot more perspective on life. You’re also probably not so interested in putting up with anyone’s bullshit.
We talk about what causes women, particularly, to constantly set our own feelings aside and put up with people who are clearly unkind and/or unworthy of us.
And why it’s a radical idea to enjoy being single and child free. Which, according to science, is actually the healthiest option out there for women.
I also touch on losing my best friend and how I traveled to Chicago to scatter her ashes in a sacred temple I will not be naming. Let’s just say, all of its followers are true blue.
