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.

On ep 109 we explore the parallels
between the kink and gaming cultures with Shanna Germain.
It turns out these groups can learn
a lot from each other-- especially along the lines of negotiation,
consent, and aftercare. Shanna is doing her part to facilitate
consent in RPGs (role-playing games) and offers a free resource for
gamers. On the same token, those in the BDSM world can expand their
horizons by embracing the spirit of play and roleplay gaming
principles. We talk about misogyny in the gaming world and what’s
being done to create room for diversity plus Shanna gives tips and
guidelines to gamers that want to consensually include more adult
themes in their games as well as for sex-positive folks that want
to give gaming a try. She also talks about authoring many fantasy
erotica books and we learn about ‘cozy games’ that facilitate
emotional intimacy, vulnerability and sexy times between consenting
adults.
