American Sex

Sunny Megatron | Pleasure Podcasts

Changing America’s dysfunctional relationship with sex one laugh at a time, this award-winning podcast gets to the meat of what fuels our deepest, darkest turn-ons. Sex isn't just sex; it’s about everything – identity, power, politics, taboos, and the shame our culture thrives on. Recognizing how these elements seep into our bedrooms makes all the kinky, “weird” stuff we’re secretly into seem not so weird after all. Host Sunny Megatron is an acclaimed Clinical Sexologist, BDSM Educator, and Showtime TV host. Equal parts hilarious and informative, Sunny & her guests serve up real talk about kink, polyamory, sexual ethics, and more. From practical sex tips to candid conversations on sexual empowerment to the war on reproductive rights and sexual freedom, each topic is approached with a lightheartedness that’s second to none. On American Sex Podcast, Kink is CustomizableTM and education is the new punk rock. The personal is undeniably political and tinkle-your-pants laughter is the antidote to sexual shame. Together, we’re on a mission to harness the power in our pleasure, embrace the subversion in our perversion, and challenge the puritanical, backward-ass views on sex that are as American as apple pie. ----- Visit americansexpodcast.com & sunnymegatron.com for more ------ Submit your sex questions by email: [email protected] TikTok: @SunnyMegatron, Twitter: @AmericanSexPod, Intsa: @AmericanSexPodcast, Patreon: patreon.com/americansex All Links: direct.me/sunnymegatron American Sex Podcast is a proud member of Pleasure Podcasts.

Last month, news of OnlyFans explicit content ban rocked the world. What was behind it? Were they sanitizing the platform to court new investors? Was their grand plan to exploit adult creators to grow the site only kick them to the curb once it gained mainstream appeal? Were payment processors pressuring them? And how were they able to reverse their decision so quickly? In episode 166 of American Sex Podcast, Kitty Stryker explains the complex and deep-rooted reasons for this unexpected series of events. It has ties to the censorship in media movement that goes back decades, religious groups with hidden agendas, shady anti-trafficking organizations, and more. She warns that even though OnlyFans ban was suspended, there may be more to come that will affect every corner of the internet.

“The BDSM Test” is infamous in the kink community and beyond. Since 2014, thousands have proudly posted results like a badge of honor on FetLife profiles. We use it as a roadmap, educational tool, and kink negotiation starter. It’s even gone vanilla as the focus of social media challenges and pop magazine writeups.

But is this kink subculture phenomenon all it's cracked up to be? While some find it helpful & validating, many say it’s othering, stigmatizing, and normalizes red-flag behavior disguised as “kink.”

Midori & kinky therapist Joe Zarate-Sanderlin join us on ep 192 to deconstruct the BDSM test question by question + explore its wider impact. Why don't we scrutinize it the same way vet other educational sources? Who wrote this kink test, why, and what are they using the massive amount of data they’re collecting about our deviant desires for? Turns out, it’s a bit of a mystery...

Midori Bio

“Your Fairy God-Auntie of Kink. Exploding Expectations. Challenging Conventions.”

Trailblazing educator, sexologist, artist, and irritant to banality, Midori founded Rope Dojo and ForteFemme: Women’s Dominance Intensive. She penned the first English instruction book on Shibari, “Seductive Art of Japanese Bondage” in 2001, paving the way for the popularity of rope. Dan Savage calls her the “Super Nova of Kink,” while others affectionately call her Auntie Midori for her cool, tell-it-like-it-is, funny, reality-based teaching. She is also the author of “Wild Side Sex,” “Master Han’s Daughter,” and “Silk Threads.”

Education, Coaching, Private Learning & Art: https://planetmidori.com. Special membership perks! Learn, laugh, and enjoy her special online classes, events, and art at www.patreon.com/PlanetMidori where she is working on her next shibari book!

Joe Zarate-Sanderlin Bio

"Joe Zarate-Sanderlin, an Assigned Male at Birth non-binary person (pronouns: they/them/theirs), came of age in the New York City kink scene in the late 1990s and early 2000s and they have connections in the Boston and San Francisco kink communities. They are a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a private practice in San Francisco where they specialize in working with gender, sexuality, and relationship diversity. They teach several courses at Golden Gate University and were recognized as an Outstanding Adjunct Professor for 2022. They provide training and consultation regarding Talking to Clients about Sex, Gender in Psychotherapy, Open Relationships, BDSM Relationships, and other topics. In addition to private practice, their clinical experience includes being supervised by Dossie Easton for two and half years plus volunteering at a Catholic school for three years, a continuation high school for one year, and at a low-fee clinic for four years. They worked for the Burning Man Emergency Services Department for ten years, both in the Nevada desert and in the streets of San Francisco. In their spare time, they ski, coach and referee soccer, brew kombucha, dance to 80s music, and parent elementary-aged old twins."

American Sex - Taboo Play with Mollena Williams-Haas - Ep 170
play

10/04/21 • 87 min

Why are dark, disgusting fantasies that are in direct opposition to our moral beliefs some of our biggest turn-ons? How can what’s ‘so wrong’ be ‘so RIGHT’? Mollena Lee Williams-Haas tells us what’s behind this on episode 170 of American Sex Podcast. If your porn search history is twisted, you’re not alone. Taboo kinks are quite normal. We touch on: why the BDSM community can surprisingly be the most judgmental, how to handle it when people yuck your yum, the right and wrong reasons to explore taboo, how some examine oppressive systems like sexism and racism through taboo play, and why the WHY and intention behind it all is the key to everything. Mollena also breaks down a fear many of us wrestle with--will thinking about extreme fantasies push us to act out dangerous things or lead to the erosion of our personal ethics in real life? How can we determine if others will eventually cross that line? Even though the subject matter is dark, this conversation is lighthearted and hilarious too. Laugh your way to “strange boner town” with us!

Dick Wound is a 36-year-old BDSM enthusiast. He’s a sadomasochist specializing in knife play as a top, CBT (cock & ball torture) as a bottom, and is an armpit fetishist. At 30 Dick suffered a heart attack and now depends on an internal defibrillator to stay alive. This experience prompted him to fantasize and role play about his own death to conquer his fears and depression. Dick recently became entrenched in the world of robosexual/ASFR fetish. He’s also the creator, engineer, and co-host of Off the Cuffs: a Kink & BDSM Podcast

Recap: Ken & Sunny explore Dick Wound’s earliest childhood inspirations and theorize why characters like Batman, James Bond, and comic book superheroes had such an influence on his sexuality. They discuss how Dick’s death fetish kicked into high gear after his near death experience and how he used it therapeutically to conquer his fear of dying. They also dive into Dick's newest fetish, gynoids, and explore why female robots would be ideal dominant sex partners.

Episode 4 topics: Batman & Catwoman's uber hot ‘I love you, now die’ relationship, black widow fetish, wives with knives, executrix, Marvel superheroes, no one likes IronFist, custom porn clips, extreme fantasy role play, depression, therapeutic kink, heart failure, dollification, iDollator, gynoids, sex dolls, disability and BDSM, knife play, serial killers, mindfucks, SSC vs RACK
