Sexuality, It's Not Just About Being Sexy

In this day and age podcasts are all the rage. Everyone is listening to them, everyone is suggesting them, everyone is making them, therefore more than likely we each know someone personally who has started a podcast. For me, I know a guy who I once performed in an improv show with who started a podcast called Not So Sexy where they talk about "all of the things your parents didn't" in reference to sex. And the beautiful thing about this podcast is that it seriously comes across like really close friends hanging out talking about their experiences with their sexual lifestyles in a non-provocative type of way.

Plus the topics that are covered are ones that most everyone ponders the answers to internally but are never willing to actually ask the questions for. Alex has done an amazing job creating a podcast that not only makes people feel comfortable talking about a topic that is uncomfortable but has also managed to create a show that makes people feel like they are not a weirdo or alone the thoughts and questions and concerns they have when it comes to sex. And that is difficult and impressive task, which is probably what I appreciate the most about this podcast. 

One of my favorite episodes was actually one of the first episodes done on the podcast called Body Shame. It's all about their experience with their sexuality and the way others view them based on their sexual lifestyle choices. Plus, of course based on the name, the conversation also touches on how each of the individuals view their bodies sexually and how they believe others do too. It's very interesting and very personal as all the episodes are but in a relaxed and comfortable type of tone as I think only an enclosed small studio type space can provide which is why the podcast works. 

There is a new episode every week to two weeks and the hosts Alex & Kit always encourage questions and topic suggestions. So if there is something on your mind that you would like to hear them discuss, then shoot them a message and if you are worried about people knowing that you asked about that specific topic, don't worry because the have private messaging so that everything can be left anonymous.
