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 episode 147 we talk with Bekah
Rose about abuse in the kink community and in kink relationships.
How do we most effectively deal with habitual abusers in our
spaces? Is it always possible to make room for people that abuse to
change and heal? What are the most common types of abuse we see
within the kink community? In intimate relationships why is it so
hard to spot subtle abusive tactics like gaslighting and emotional
manipulation? How can we better support others who are experiencing
this? What’s the difference between a consent violation and consent
failure? Abuse is present in every community and has the potential
to perpetrated by anyone in any type of relationship. This is
episode required listening no matter what community you belong
to.
