Near Death, Near Life (William)

Intimate Interactions ·

2022/05/14

Today I reconnect with my friend William. He’s a distant acquaintance with whom I never really forged a connection of substance but now all that’s changing. He’s a heterosexual cis man who recently had a near death experience. This forced him to confront a history of distracting himself from what was important. Whether it was gaming or alcohol then, it’s become therapy now. We discuss therapy, medication, forgiveness, and compassion. --- Send in a voice message:

Lisa Tomati is Relentless

Intimate Interactions ·

2022/05/07

Lisa Tamati is many things. She’s Maori [m-ow-ree] from Aotearoa [ow-tay-uh-row-uh], or as settlers call it, New Zealand. The Maori use the word iwi for band or tribe, meaning bone. It signifies a lineage and ancestral connection, but that metaphor communicates strength and resilience to me across language barriers, and I still see that strength and resilience today in communities continuing to survive colonialism and find ways to thrive. Lisa is from both the Te Ati Awa iwi and from the Ngati

Strategies for Managing Burnout

Intimate Interactions ·

2022/04/30

I decided to revise the format of the show two days ago when this was recorded. I'm going to try to include helpful tips or advice when discussing difficult or depressing stuff. I've always been personal development focused, so this feels more in line with my values. The show is also going to get shorter unless the episode commands more time. I'm currently aiming for about a twenty minute runtime but we'll see what is reasonable given the content. I’ve been feeling increasingly burned out from the

Permission to Hook Up (Court Vox)

Intimate Interactions ·

2022/04/09

Consent is so relative to the culture in which you’re interacting. I almost perceive it as the most important kind of etiquette a culture practices; however how a culture practices consent can look wildly different one to the next. In my opinion, there’s no long linear string of evolution of concepts from touching and grunting through to highly intellectual discussion and negotiation. Instead there are clouds or pillars of vetting consent. Just because some of that vetting or certainty or support

Edging and Training Your Orgasm (Robin Beatch)

Intimate Interactions ·

2022/03/26

Edging describes the process of getting close to your orgasm and then allowing your body to move further away from orgasm for the purpose of climbing back up to orgasm, closer each time. Doing this can increase the intensity of the eventual orgasm. We chat about edging, sensuality, erectile dysfunction, edging exercises, antidepressants, masturbating a penis with a very tight grip, and of course training your orgasm.

Pushing Your Boundaries in a Good Way (Lauren)

Intimate Interactions ·

2022/03/19

From extreme sex to vanilla sex, what does experimentation look like for you? Vanilla sex here means sex that isn’t kinky in any way, usually referring to penis-in-vagina missionary position. We talk about first BDSM scenes, extreme experiences, and then settling back into what feels more like home for us, the experiences that we continue to feel fed by.

Resources for Connected Masculinity (Court Vox)

Intimate Interactions ·

2022/03/12

This session we talk about needs for emotionally well, embodied, and connected masculinity and role-models for boys and men. We offer resources and chat about our agreements. On gender, I resonate strongly with both masculine and feminine feels in ways that are often perceived by cis men as different or other or in some way either gay or just not cis or perhaps both. I think of it as nonbinary or queer gender. I’ve gotten to the point where when folks talk about an ideal masculine or sacred feminine

Vicarious Trauma from Witnessing Assault (Billie)

2022/03/05

cw: mob violence, violence against women, witnessing disturbing images as a child Today we were going to talk about fires but ran into a trauma landmine so I figured we'd run the episode anyways and instead try to talk more about landmines. Unfortunately this episode does contain violence against an 18 year old woman and ongoing trauma from seeing disturbing images at 13. Props to Billie's friend who was dating two army guys at the same time - don't worry, they're not the culprits of the story - and

Society Denies Pleasure for Pleasure’s Sake (Court Vox)

Intimate Interactions ·

2022/02/12

Permission to exist sexually is something I’ve craved since I was a teenager. Whether you’re queer or not, sometimes it’s really hard to learn how to exist with kindness and compassion for yourself, and without that it can be hard to give it to others. Today we’re talking with Court Vox about how we as a society give or deny permission for sexual exploration. Interestingly, this often hinges around trauma because of our cultural narratives around sexual pleasure. If you want to follow Court Vox on

Lauren is back to talk to us about pandemic ennui and burnout.

Cw: covid-19, transphobia, gender reassignment surgery My friend Sapphire and I chat about gender and accessibility during COVID-19. We touch on their gender advocacy at school, accessibility for immunocompromised people, and we briefly touch on the law in alabama that recently changed. The term transmasc is a shortening of transmasculine which usually refers to masculine appearing trans non-binary people but also includes transmen. I originally was going to say also includes men as transmen are men

Universal Basic Income (Sapphire)

Sapphire and I have a conversation about poverty and universal basic income. We talk about BC housing, accessibility, minimum wage in Vancouver, and more. Ultimately the middle class and wealthy folks who can afford it might say: move out of the city, but until there’s a grant that pays for moving costs to get out of the city, some can’t afford the disruption to income of having to find a new job, or just can’t afford to move which locks them into a cycle of poverty. Keep in mind that UBI could also
