Macy, which comes out later this year. You can be certain that I will press Cheryl for all the juicy details.

Cheryl and I discuss:

How we met;

Sex EDGE-U-cation With Lance Navarro – Podcast #261 – 02/02/11

[Look for the podcast play button below.]

Hey sex fans, welcome back!

Porn and sex work are two hot button sex issues for most people. Everyone seems to have an opinion, but very few of those opinions come from more than gut reactions. Not many of us have any first-hand experience to guide us in sorting out our feelings and making up our mind. To remedy this, at least for you, my audience, I’ve been bringing you periodic interviews with porn stars and sex workers as part of this the Sex EDGE-U-cation podcast series. Because I think it’s important to hear from actual people in the business before we decide where we stand on these matters.

Today I add to the list of porn luminaries that already includes — Robert Black, Chris Yosef, Tony Buff, Luc Wilder, Madison Young and Bruno Bond — a relative newcomer to the industry. I have the pleasure of welcoming the charming and remarkably philosophical Lance Navarro.

If you are a connoisseur of cutting edge fetish smut, then I’m gonna guess that you may already know our guest and his body of work. And if you don’t you have a treat in store for you. Because Lance now adds his unique voice to the ever-growing chorus of prominent educators, practitioners and advocates of unconventional sexual expressions and lifestyles that is this podcast series.

Lance and I discuss:

Busting the porn star lifestyle myth;
His philosophy of life;
Becoming Lance Navarro;
Coining his stage name;
How he got his start in porn;
His specialty — a fisting bottom;
Urethral sounds;
His piercings;
Enjoying his work;
On-camera chemistry.

[Look for the podcast play button below.]

Hello sex fans! Welcome back.

Psychologist Christopher Ryan, coauthor of Sex At Dawn; The Prehistoric Origins of Modern Sexuality returns for Part 2 of our chat for this the SEX WISDOM podcast series. I can’t tell you how grateful I am that he has more time to spend with us today. And just so you know, today’s show is unusually long. But one probably should expect that since we cover most of human evolutionary history, don’t cha know. Christopher, however, makes the time fly by with his engaging, humorous style.

I sure hope you didn’t miss Part 1 of this exciting conversation, which appeared here last week at this time. But not to worry if ya did, because you can find it and all my podcasts in the Podcast Archive right here on my site. All ya gotta do is use the search function in the header; type in Podcast #257 and Voilà! But don’t forget the #sign when you do your search.

Christopher and I discuss:

We aren’t descendant from apes, we ARE apes;
Bonobos, a close ape relative, are regularly ignored by anthropologists;
The Bonobo “handshake”;
Fertility in hunter and gather societies;
Monogamy or sexual exclusivity among the great apes;
Polygynous societies reflect a male dominant economy;

SEX WISDOM With Christopher Ryan — Podcast #257 — 01/19/11

[Look for the podcast play button below.]

Hey, hey sex fans! Welcome back.

I’m all a flutter, sex fans. I feel like the most popular boy in school just asked me to the prom. So ok, maybe that’s a bit of an exaggeration. It’s more like the most popular boy in school just told me he wants to bugger me senseless. No, wait a minute; this isn’t coming out precisely as I hoped. Let’s just say that I’m thrilled to overflowing to have today’s guest join me for this SEX WISDOM podcast.

As you know, this series is all about talking with people who are changing the way we look at our sexual selves. And no one in this series so far has exceeded the impact of today’s guest on that discourse. I have the honor of welcoming psychologist, Christopher Ryan, coauthor of Sex At Dawn; The Prehistoric Origins of Modern Sexuality.

I confess; this book simply blew me away. And that’s pretty hard to do considering I’m such a jaded old queen. But honestly, I can’t remember being so impacted by anything I’ve read on the topic of human sexuality in like…evah! Sex At Dawn is nothing short of revolutionary. Despite this being a scholarly work, Christopher and his wife, Cacilda Jethá, have gone out of their way to make their presentation completely accessible even to a layman. There is nothing pretentious about it; the book is full of humor and fascinating antidotes. But I can assure you that it will reshape how you look at your own sexuality.

Christopher and I discuss:

The book tour and the media’s response;
The absence of a prescriptive element in the book;
Humans, extremely libidinous apes;
Our failure to question the default human sexual premise — long-term and sexually exclusive;
Ingrained behavior not the same as human nature;
Agriculture not the advance it’s cracked up to be;
Prehistory is 95% of the human experience;
The remnant hunter and gatherer societies;
Classical evolutionary theory is contaminated with Victorian assumptions;
The role of sex in hunter and gatherer societies;
Historical reports of first contact with indigenous peoples.

More of The Erotic Mind of Johnny Murdoc — Podcast #256 — 01/17/11

[Look for the podcast play button below.]

Hey sex fans! Welcome back.

We’re back with more of The Erotic Mind of Johnny Murdoc. This is Part 2 of his appearance on this show.

Ya know, I heard from so many people since last Monday who told me how much they enjoyed last week’s show. The common thread to all the comments was how refreshing and inspiring it was to listen to this young man speak about his craft. I totally agree. In fact, I am of the mind that if the up and coming generation of erotica writers are as thoughtful and reflective as Johnny, then the future of the genre is in pretty good hands.

I’m also happy to report that Johnny shares another delicious morsel of the fruit of his Erotic Mind. This week it’s an entire story from start to finish and it’s fewer than 1000 words. It is not to be missed, sex fans!

But wait, you didn’t miss Part 1 of this delightful conversation, which appeared here last week at this time did you?
