Birds And Bees Don't Fck
Lotus Lain is an adult performer, producer, intimacy coordinator and sex worker advocate originally from California’s Central Valley where growing up in a small town meant most of her real sex education came later through curiosity, the internet, and eventually working in the adult industry itself. In this episode we talk about the unexpected overlap between porn and Hollywood, how the adult industry approached consent, boundaries and choreography long before mainstream film and television caught up, and why productions eventually realized they needed intimacy coordinators. We also get into...

Aimee Latta is a certified embodied intimacy and relationship coach and the host of the podcast Come Talk With Aimee, originally from Utah where the best sex education she got was a fifth grade presentation from a very enthusiastic husband and wife team… followed by years of abstinence-only education and a very graphic childbirth video meant to scare everyone into never having sex. In this episode we talk about growing up in Utah, abstinence-only sex education, Mormon purity culture, and what happens when the only messaging around sex is prevention instead of pleasure. We also get into...

Tia Lynn is a sex and intimacy coach, Tedx speaker and host of the Sexy Biz Babe podcast originally from Utah where as you can imagine, the Mormons (which she was not one of) taught her nothing about sexuality but a whole lot about judgement. Some things we said... "Pole dancing gives permission for others to explore their desires and sensuality." "Transitioning into sex coaching happened naturally based on client feedback and impact." "When you upgrade and when you progress past that, that makes them look at themselves in a way that they're not ready to." "Play parties provide a space where...

Nnamdi Ngwe is an actor, comedian and writer for The Amber Ruffin Show and Tab Time originally from London where his initial sex education was just the bad kids used to try to get the younger kids to kiss. Then he got a little older and realized how unhinged that was! Some things we said... "I would, as long as it's like, my feelings wouldn't be hurt if it's like, don't do that. Continue on. Yeah. Here's some guidance. Here's some notes. Let's keep going." "You think that I'm not in control, you think that I'm not in power, your dick is in my mouth. I can fucking hurt you or heal you...

Teresa Lo is an award winning writer and comedian originally from Coffeeville Kansas where nearly 40% of her high school class had a baby before graduation… which is another reason why accurate sex education is so important! Some things we said... "Comedy and the sex world is the only place that accepts freaks and lets us thrive." "If I really wanted it, I could have done it." "How bad do you want something? What are you willing to sacrifice?" "People, not all people, but many people are very dishonest about sexuality where they can't be open with what they really want." "Some people...
