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 116 of American Sex
Podcast, Kevin Patterson & Alana Phelan, authors of the For Hire
series, talk about the queer superhero universe they created. We
also discuss why centering marginalized voices is important in
fiction, how Harry Potter fans are handling the JK Rowling TERF
situation, why books like Fifty Shades of Grey and Anne Rice’s
Beauty Series positively changed our culture while still
perpetuating harmful stereotypes, and how positive representation
in media can change the world. The pair also tell us about being
awarded and Effing Foundation Grant and their upcoming non-fiction
book about cautionary polyamory.
