American Sex

Welcome back to The American Sex Pod. My name is John David. I host this podcast because we, my friends and I, have something to say, contribute and hopefully have the ability to help people interested in and navigating the new world of real, authentic, and personal relationships revolving around “love”. Last year, we talked about what people “think” love is. This year we are going to focus on what the reality of separating love from sex and if that is even possible. Thank you all for listening. We hope we’re helpful The American Sex Pod

What do you get out of an open relationship?  It can’t be stability, companionship, ride or die, love conquers all - hell, you sleep with other people!  I MUST NOT BE ENOUGH!!! If you’ve had, have or fear you’ll have these thoughts, this final interview of the year is for you.   I’ll spoil the ending - you are. -The American Sex Pod

More and more and more.... Nick and Auryn met when they didn’t want to.  They were both coming out of long term relationships with no or little experience in poly relationships, kink or otherwise.   They are a wonderful example of how when you’re ready, you may meet that certain person who is on the same wavelength and you both begin to oscillate in the same way and change together.  Its what we all dream of, many of us won’t experience, but its worth the try.  This is was it looks like when its right.   Listen, learn, and hope. -The American Sex Pod

So if you’ve been paying attention, we think sex is pretty great.  We like to do it as much as possible, and experiment, and well, play. While we have the doctor’s ear, we talk about those questions regular couples can’t answer.  Is there such as thing as too much sex?  Am I an addict?  Am I “NORMAL”??? We have our own thoughts on this, but listen in and see what the doctor has to say about it. Again, many thanks to Dr. Chavez for her time and expertise.  We are very grateful to be able to share this with interested humans. -The American Sex Pod

We continue with this wonderful and enlightening conversation with Epiphany who tells her life journey and discovery.  She talks about why she felt the need for increased touch after a sexual relationship ended, and she struggled to find a new relationship given her age, demographic, location and other casual circumstances. I think more people relate to Epiphany than our society wants to imagine, and the benefit from her suggestions for increased touch could, without hyperbole, change the world. Her book is available on eBook distributors on November 27th.  Its well worth the read, and keep it for referenace as you begin your new journey into the unknown. “Lots of hugs” - Epiphany Jordan   -The American Sex Pod

We speak to a lot of couples, and we get to hear about their lives and their relationships.  Why they make the choices they make, and how they make those choices work, or not. Today, we talked with Dr. Shannon Chavez, a sex therapist in Beverly Hills, California.  She chats with us about her personal journey with her own relationships, her youth, and why she chose sex therapy as her way to interact with her community. Her insights verify much of what we have discovered with many of our previous guests, but her insights are backed by degrees and years of experience we’ll simply never have. We so appreciated her time and insight into “What is love?” -The American Sex Pod

We talk an awful lot about sex here, but what happens if you’re asexual, possibly due to circumstance such as age or health?  Do your needs of human contact and the chemical experience of oxytocin diminished? We don’t think so. A book came across our desk called “Somebody Hold Me” by Epiphany Jordan.  Epiphany lives in Texas.  She wrote a “how to” book on the power of human touch through “cuddling” or simply increased human contact. If you’re like my mother, and find this silly, you probably need it more than anyone.  Take 30 mins and you’ll discover how to drastically and immediately improve your life. Buy the book and have a reference guide that will instantly improve your happiness factor. ”Somebody Hold me” is available across most major ebook markets on November 27th. -The American Sex Pod

We continue with Bella this week.  She has simply experienced more in her life than most of us could hope to experience in 10 lifetimes.  Her wisdom and outlook on life and its relationship to sex is fascinating. She talks about children, polyamory, dom/sub relationships and so much more.  Its 25 min of constant learning.  We were mesmerized. -The American Sex Pod You can find out more on Bella at: www.belllavey.com and read her book “Fetish Girl” available for download everywhere.

One of the most wonderful aspects of deciding to talk in a public forum about sex and relationships are the wonderful people I am getting to meet. We are chatting with Bella Lavey from Texas.  Bella is a wonderful spirit who has spent her life working in and around the sex industry from erotic wrestling to erotic dancing to dominatrix and more.  She’s very candid, and very self aware.  She has a unique ability to communicate her experiences driven by her intense desire to effect her world in a positive way. You can discover more about Bella at: www.bellalavey.com and read her book on her very unique and fascinating life experiences “Fetish Girl”.

Hillary and Berg are very authentic and realized.  I’d say that they are fully realized, but that would be counter to the idea of a constant journey. We talk about several different points from #metoo, from dealing with your parents and the loss of the generational wisdom as we begin to live openly and outwardly in ways that the previous generations simply don’t understand as a generalization. -The American Sex Pod
