SEX WISDOM With Katherine Frank — Podcast #386 — 08/14/13

[Look for the podcast play button below.]

Hello sex fans! Welcome back.

I’m delighted to continue the SEX WISDOM series today. After the last two weeks of chat with an up and coming therapist who is just beginning her sexological career, I am proud to welcome a woman of distinction in our field. My guest today is cultural anthropologist, sex researcher and noted author, Katherine Frank.

Katherine has distinguished herself as one who can tackle some of the thorniest issues of human sexual behavior with objectivity and compassion. Her three books as well as her numerous academic papers and popular articles provide us with an intelligent and intimate view of the sexual fringe. And she’s here today to tell us about her research and why she chooses to study what she does.

Katherine and I discuss:

Cultural anthropology and sex research;
Meanings and taboos;
Sex and the boundaries of our bodies;
Dispassionate observations and objectivity;
Participatory research;
Critical thinking, human nature and generalizations;
Fears, desires, and wounds;
Sex research and its repercussions;
Plays Well in Groups: A Journey Through the World of Group Sex;
Breaking the rules;
The myths associated with group sex.

Katherine invites you to visit her on her site HERE!

Join Me In Celebrating…

Hey sex fans!

I have some fantastic news. My latest book, The Gospel Of Kink — A Modern Guide To Asking For What You Want And Getting What You Ask For, has just been published. You’ll find it on Amazon and in all your favorite bookstores. Kindle and Nook version coming soon.

The Gospel Of Kink is a workshop in book form. Its innovative and interactive format presents the reader with numerous situations and dilemmas that arise as people embrace their kinkiness and integrate their eroticism into daily life.

The Gospel Of Kink is on the cutting edge of the sex-positive and kink-aware movements. This workbook helps the reader break free from the painful silence the dominant culture imposes on alt culture and those of us on the sexual fringe.

The Gospel Of Kink provides an opportunity to learn from people just like you. Its on-the-page workshop features a group of ten fictional characters who are your fellow participants. In addition, it includes a panel of actual seasoned kinky, BDSM, and alt culture practitioners who share their expertise and life experience with you.

The Gospel Of Kink engages you with numerous exercises and homework. As a workshop participant, you will complete A Personal Alt Relationship Inventory, discuss the Essentials of Effective Communication, identify Tools and Techniques for Navigating Alt Relationship Conflicts, and learn how to Keep Things Fresh and Interesting.

The Gospel Of Kink provides a safe and secure place for you to air your concerns without fear of being judged for how you live your life or with whom you choose to live it. You will learn within a framework of honesty, activity, alliance, support, and humor.

The Gospel Of Kink is a workbook designed primarily for the modern kinkster, but not exclusively. Family, friends, healing and helping professionals, teachers, students, indeed anyone who wishes to further understand and better communicate with those they know on the sexual fringe, will benefit from this book.

Here’s a tip. There’s a 13 page preview of The Gospel Of Kink HERE!

“I can safely say that this book is fundamentally different in style and scope from everything else I’ve ever read on the topic and I think you’ll agree.”

The Erotic Mind of Erika Moen — Podcast #378 — 06/03/13

[Look for the podcast play button below.]

Hey sex fans,

After last week’s Q&A show, I am so excited to get back to The Erotic Mind series. And oh boy howdy, do I ever have a treat in store for you today. For one thing, my guest breaks through the gender barrier that had been in place, in terms of comic makers who have been guests on my show. For some reason and despite my efforts to bring some women aboard, up until now, only men had accepted my invitation to chat about their craft. But I am so glad that I persisted, because I am proud to welcome the one and only Erika Moen to the show. And she is about the most rad young woman I’ve met in a very long time.

Today we travel to the wilds of Portland, OR to spend some time with Erika in her natural habitat. We discover that lurking behind her mild-mannered and unassuming exterior there is a genius artist who is also an enlightened philosopher about sex, sexuality and gender. Exciting stuff this, sex fans! So please stay tuned.

Erika and I discuss:

Being a PNW gal;
Illustrated storytelling;
Taboo topics;
Dealing with the trolls;
No shame / shameless;
Her autobiographical comic, DAR;
Sex/gender/eroticism;
Being a queer queer in the queer community;
Her comic Bucko;
Collaborating with others.

Erika invites you to visit her on her website HERE! And look for her on Facebook HERE! And Twitter HERE! Her Tumblr page is HERE! And her kick-ass blog is HERE!
