| 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.

A findom is a dominatrix that hits
you where it hurts most-- your bank account. If this sounds like a
made up fetish or something highly unethical, it’s actually
neither. Mistress Harley, otherwise known as the Techdomme, is a
high-profile findom. She’s appeared on The Doctors and profiled in
The Washington Post, Engadget, and more. During this fascinating
conversation Mistress Harley demystifies financial domination. We
talk about how she obtains consent, why her services are similar to
a personal trainer, how she uses technology to take control of
devices and accounts, and why this is a legitimate fetish like any
other form of extreme psychological edge play. She also walks us
through the ethics of some of her more controversial scenes like
homewrecking and medical castration. We even explore the psychology
behind findom-- why people eroticize money, how playing out this
fetish helps people work through the negative effects of patriarchy
(regardless of their gender), and more.
