What Is American Sex?This award-winning podcast is dedicated to changing America’s dysfunctional relationship with sex. Our sex lives are influenced by everything that makes us US--from our mental health to our relationships, politics, identity, and the shame our culture instills in us and relies on for control. Understanding how these things seep into our bedrooms makes all the kinky, pervy, weird stuff we’re secretly into seem not so weird after all. Hosts, Sunny Megatron & Ken Melvoin-Berg, are acclaimed Sex & BDSM Educators. They also co-created the groundbreaking Showtime Original Series, Sex with Sunny Megatron. Equal parts hilarious and informative, Sunny, Ken & their guests serve up real-talk about kink, polyamory, sexual ethics, and LGBTQIA+ subjects. From practical BDSM & sex tips to discussions about systematic repression of pleasure & sexual empowerment, each topic is approached with a lightheartedness that’s second to none. We believe Kink is Cutomizable™, education is the new punk rock, the personal is political, tinkle-your-pants laughter is an anecdote to sexual shame, and that collectively we can subvert this backward-ass system by finding power in our pleasure. Visit americansexpodcast.com & sunnymegatron.com for more. New Episodes every Monday. Stream all episodes below! |

Does COVID-19 have you spiraling?
Then DROP EVERYTHING. You need to listen to episode 123 of American
Sex Podcast STAT. Kate Loree, LMFT dishes out practical advice for
dealing with Coronavirus anxiety and gives tips for soothing
distressed loved ones. Many of us are experiencing PTSD reactions
from pandemic panic plus it's affecting the mental health of those
in alt-sex/relationship communities like BDSM, non-monogamy, LGBTQ+
and sex workers who are losing their livelihoods. Coronavirus is
impacting our access to sexuality and physical connection
too--which is something many of us need for comfort, especially
during trying times. Kate also answers the burning question, “Why
are we buying so much damn toilet paper?” and the answer might
surprise you. This conversation is jam-packed with workable
solutions and free/low-cost resources for the mental turmoil we’re
all going through right now. With hope, all of this social
distancing will actually bring us closer together as a
community.
