Wednesday Martin's newest work of non-fiction, UNTRUE: Why Nearly Everything We Believe About Women, Lust, and Adultery is Wrong and How the New Science Can Set Us Free cuts through the junk science and regressive cultural narratives that have shaped our beliefs about female infidelity for centuries, revealing a truth both liberating and disconcerting: women are no more “naturally monogamous” than men; nor are their libidos shrinking violets. Far from it. Offering insights from thirty experts as well as real women from all walks of life who refuse monogamy, UNTRUE also analyzes cultural shifts from plow agriculture to polyamory; introduces readers to two important "hidden figures" of American sex research; and takes readers on an immersive, fascinating journey—from the bonobo enclosure at the San Diego Zoo to an exclusive all-female sex party in Manhattan where most of the revelers identify as heterosexual. UNTRUE asserts that monogamy is a tighter fit for the fairer sex; that females of many species evolved to be “promiscuous”; and that female sexual autonomy may be the most meaningful metric of gender equality. Rich with game-changing data and polemical writing, it promises to take us far out of our comfort zone, and may change the way you think about women and sex forever. Wednesday Martin, Ph.D is a writer and feminist cultural critic. She is the author of seven books including instant #1 New York Times bestseller Primates of Park Avenue and UNTRUE: Why Nearly Everything We Believe About Women, Lust, and Adultery is Wrong and How the New Science Can Set Us Free. She has written for publications including New York Times, The Atlantic, and the Journal of Sex and Marital Therapy. She has appeared on Good Morning America, The Today Show, CNN, the BBC, NPR, and more to discuss her work on gender, motherhood, female sexuality, and popular culture.

What does it mean to be transgender and non-binary? What are some of the current issues trans and non-binary folks are facing? And what are some tips for folks who are considering (or are already) transitioning?  About our guest: Looking at Rae now, you’d never guess that they used to travel with their fundamentalist Southern Baptist parents doing missionary puppet shows. It wasn’t until Rae went to college at a small conservative school in Texas that they embraced what they’d always known deep down -- they’d never fit into the box expected of them by their parents. As Rae watched their friends attempt to navigate their emerging sexuality and identity in such an oppressive environment, they realized they wanted to spend their life helping LGBTQ folks live their best, most authentic life. Not long after undergrad, Rae came out as queer. While their family was unsupportive, Rae finally felt free. You see, their whole life, they felt like they were wearing a shoe that was one size too small. Embracing their identity as a transgender, non-binary person felt like finally putting on the right size shoe and being able to not just walk but run. But Rae didn’t stop there -- they created GenderFck: The Club so other transgender and non-binary people could feel that same freedom. As someone who grew up in the south, they know what it's like to not feel accepted by those around you and to not have the resources that folks in larger, urban communities do. Rae wanted to create something that made high-value support, information, and community available to those who may not normally have access to it.

Are you a fan of adult entertainment? Then, you've got to listen to one of our favorite podcasts: Holly Randall Unfiltered. In this sample from Holly's show, the iconic performer Adriana Chechick joins Holly for an interview that shows Adriana's MANY sides! You’ll hear about her upbringing in foster care, her honest reflections on career regrets, and why she finds gangbangs empowering.

Nurse Practitioner Remy Paille joins us for a very important episode on STI's (sexually transmitted infections, formerly known as sexual transmitted diseases). She also helps us answer a few sex questions including: How do I talk to partners about my STD status? And what do I do if prospective partners have a STD? I have a hard time trusting partners when they tell me their STI status. Should I ask every one of them to get tested? I gained a lot of weight on the IUD. What can I do about this? And are there any nonhormonal birth controls that work well aside from the IUD? My orgasms changed with I switched birth controls. Is this common?And what can I do about this? Also addendum from Remy in regards to one of her answers to a sex question:  "Testosterone revs our sexy engine up. It can be boosted by getting enough sleep, supplementing with vitamin D if our levels are below 50 ng/dL, supplementing with Zinc (oysters, my favorite;-), B complex vitamins as well the Indian herb, ashwaganda.  Too much testosterone can give us facial hair, a deep voice, and other masculine characteristics as well as lead to something called polycystic ovarian disease or PCOS so we want the right balance. Estrogen helps us feel juicy, voluptuous and divinely feminine. An excess of estrogen can occur when we get toxic amounts of estrogen products into our bodies from the environment (plastics—> BPA, phthalates, parabens) When our liver is not functioning effectively , it’s not able to process excess estrogen so it often recirculates causing headaches, tender breasts and crabby moods as well a increasing our risk of breast cancer. One way to rid your body of excess estrogen is to poop it out- every day at least one big healthy one, however you get there. Fiber and magnesium can help.  Progesterone helps us feel calm, safe and relaxed , which definitely helps when you want to get it on. Synthetic progesterone found in contraceptives is a different chemical that can trigger anxiety and depressed mood in some women (not all) the opposite kind of mood you want when you want to really let go into orgasmic bliss.  What’s a girl to do? While we don’t have a ton of options in terms of our contraception, we do have options about what other things we put into and onto our bodies. These can make a difference".  Other Links: Get 10% off + free shipping with code SHAMELESSSEX on Uberlube AKA our favorite lubricant at uberlube.com Get $5 off while mastering the art of pleasure at OMGyes.com/shameless Get 15% off all of your sex toys with code SHAMELESSSEX at purepleasureshop.com

In this touching episode Terah Harrison, LPC, shares her trauma story for the first time on air, alongside tips and tools for finding great sex and deep connection in the aftermath. Thank you, Terah, for speaking up and sharing your vulnerability with us. Also, we answer a sex question about pegging (when a female-bodied individual tops/penetrates a male-bodied individual via a strap-on). About Terah: Terah Harrison is a Licensed Professional Counselor and hosts the podcast Make More Love Not War which has a clear mission of helping people have more sex and less fighting. She discovered the need for her podcast as she saw male clients at her private practice in Fort Worth Texas, who were struggling to understand their female partners. Most of these men were striving to be better partners but their strategies to achieve this only made things worse. Many times a simple change would improve their relationships dramatically.   With this amazing information that would benefit men and the women they love in hand Terah wanted to reach more men but how without bending space time? In her personal life she wanted her husband, Jeff, to go to couples therapy but alas, he would not. If a therapist’s husband won’t go to therapy how many other men are missing out on the knowledge that would get them more sex? She noticed Jeff listening to podcasts every day and talking about what he learned from them.  The solution hit her like a bolt of lightning – create a podcast that will bring therapy to the men who for whatever reason don’t go. Since Terah started the podcast she has been able to interview some amazing experts in love and relationships- authors, professors, therapists, and coaches. She has also created a series that gives men a back stage pass into a woman’s mind called Whine With Wine and another series that highlights power couples as well as couples in conflict. Terah’s podcast may be directed towards men but her EVIL Plan is really to help women have more connected relationships with men where they feel heard and understood in a way that leads to MORE SEX and LESS FIGHTING for all!!!
