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! |

Kitty Stryker put the phrase
“Consent Culture” on the map. Much of this week’s episode is
devoted to SESTA/FOSTA and Kitty tells us why these bills are
damaging to not only consensual sex workers but all of our personal
and sexual freedoms. We dive into consent both inside and outside
of the bedroom and discuss her new anthology “Ask: Building Consent
Culture.” Kitty also gives us an interesting peek into Juggalo
culture and how it might lead us down the path to a brighter
future. Ken & Sunny spontaneously decide to send surprises in
the mail to their growing Patreon family & give the secret word
for the Peepshow Toys giveaway.
