And let’s just say that she’s the madam of the wacky ToyWithMe cathouse. As you may recall, we’ve already met one of that site’s famous inmates — Becky Sherrick Harks of Mommy Wants Vodka fame in Podcasts #186 & #188.

Sandy and I have a wide-ranging and freewheeling chat about a bunch of timely sexual topics. And like her site, she keeps the conversation funny as well as informative.

Sandy and I discuss:

  • Handling the writing talent and the twitter account.
  • “I have a vagina and I’m not afraid to use it” and “Nothing Risqué, Nothing Gained”.
  • Early onset of menopause and the changes it brought to her life.

At any rate, this is Part 2 of our chat. As you recall from last week, Jesús is the remarkable author of the multimedia novel badbadbad. He is our first twofer guest. He is here as part of The Erotic Mind podcast series as well as the SEX WISDOM series.

Sex Wisdom with Jesús Ángel García – Podcast #191 – 03/10/10

[Look for the podcast play button below.]

Hey sex fans,

Ok, so here’s the deal. As you know, I’m all about bringing you the very best interviews I can for all my podcast series. Not to long ago I hooked up with this exceptional author who I think is absolutely perfect for The Erotic Mind series. But midway through our conversation I realize that we are discussing stuff that would fit equally well in my SEX WISDOM series.

So what am I to do but officially declare our very first twofer! Allow me to introduce you to Jesús Ángel García, the remarkable author of the multimedia novel badbadbad. His novel can be read on many levels. Those looking for a very engagingly and smutty erotic story will not be disappointed. However, his work is also infused with profound insights into the philosophy and psychology of why we are sexual. Getting to the marrow of this man and his complex novel is a sheer delight. You won’t want to miss this, my friends.

Jesús and I discuss:

  • How the man with such the heavenly name, Jesús Ángel, come to write such a devilishly profane book.
  • Why he writes under a pen name and the derivation of that name.
  • Is it a memoir or is it fiction?
  • The multimedia nature of his novel.
  • The intent and origins of badbadbad.
  • The prominence of religious imagery.
  • How psychological complexity is reflected in sexual expression.
  • His novel as a morality tale.

Adding to the sexual tension of today’s show, Jesús reads from badbadbad.

Hey sex fans,

I have some absolutely fascinating SEX WISDOM in store for you today. This is just the second installment in this new podcast series. We’re all about connecting with some of the movers and shakers in the field of human sexuality. We’re talking with researchers, educators, clinicians, pundits and philosophers who are making news and reshaping how we look at our sexual selves.

My guest today is Mark Zedler. He’s a sex historian, don’t cha know. And he’s here to help us demythologize some of our culture’s sexual taboos.

Please stay tuned.

Mark and I discuss:

  • Being a sex historian.
  • Exploring the origins of sexual taboos and myths.
  • The history of the Bacchanalia — its zenith, persecution and downfall.
