*This episode is a live recording of a previous Sex Talks event.*
The 5th installment of Sex Talks focused on challenging the cultural script around sex and relationships (you’ve got to find ‘the one’; you need an ‘other half’ to be fulfilled; sex is all about that P in V… you get the picture) and exploring the myriad factors that shape sexuality, including shitty sex ed and reductive gender norms.
We delved into how we can then challenge these ideas, with a particular focus on polyamory and what we might all be able to learn from those who take an ethically non-monogamous approach to relationships.
My dreamy panel included the brilliant, Bronwyn Griffiths @minkaguides (aka 'Fanny Minka' of @sink_the_pink) - a queer polyamorous writer and performer.
Bronwyn's blog, Minka Guides, is all about celebrating life beyond the norm, which is exactly what we did during this Sex Talks.
I was also joined be the equally fabulous @almazohene - sex educator and activist, award-winning writer and soon-to-be author who is currently doing some fascinating research on all that’s shaped people’s approach to sex.
And last but not least, Nadine Noor Ahmad, aka international DJ (who typically goes by the name Nadine Artois) and co-founder of Pxssy Palace, the club night and collective that prioritizes womxn and queer/intersex/trans people of color.
Sex Talks With Emma-Louise Boynton
What shapes our relationship to sex? And how is technology changing that?
Sex is about so much more than just fucking. It's about our relationship to ourselves and to our bodies. It’s about how we experience gender and the power dynamics that come with it. It’s about our capacity for vulnerability and how willing we are to let others in.
Our relationship to sex tells us so much about who we are and how we show up in the world. So why don't we talk about it more openly?
In this podcast, host and founder of Sex Talks, Emma-Louise Boynton, sits down with a new guest each week to do just that. Opening up discussion on typically taboo topics, Emma-Louise explores issues around sex and relationships, gender and the role technology is playing in changing the way we date, love and fuck.
From writers, authors and therapists, to actors, musicians and founders, the podcast brings in voices from across the board to talk about sex.
