Sexploration with Monika – Strip Clubs & Cupcakes for Social Justice

billschiffler — Wed, 16 May 2012 04:01:59 +0000

You can join the 3 sex-positeers on a cupcake-delivering mission to strip clubs for social justice with Laura Lasky of SolaceSF.org & Fleur De Lis SF’s Sluttiest Blogger. You’ll learn how something as sweet but insubstantial as a cupcake can help empower women and men in the adult entertainment industries. We’re visiting strip clubs in North Beach, and discuss why/how it’s important to show up and be there to help people. As a ex-pastor’s wife and ex-sex-worker, Laura Lasky says that sex work is different in what it does for you and to you than any other profession. SolaceSF offers medical exams, counseling services, career counseling, and help with adult education, personal development, or recovery programs as needed. How can a person have a relationship with spirituality as a sex-worker, especialy as traditional interpretations of Christianity disparage sex-work? We also discuss other sex-workeroutreach projects like SWOP and how important it is to have a community, especially if you are in a profession as stigmatized, complex, and potentially dangerous (and rewarding) as all the different kinds of sex work can be.

With Dr. Carol Queen as our darling docent of the vibe, you can join us at the grand opening of the Antique Vibrator Museum at the Good Vibrations Store on Polk street here in San Francisco. You don’t have to have sex in exchange for $$ for that to be illegal… (you can get on the business end of the criminal justice system even if you’re not a prostitute!) We speak with Maxine Doogan founder of the Erotic Services Provider’s Union about sex-worker rights, decriminalization, stigma and how under criminalization festers violence against sex-workers, even by police. We also discuss the important things that erotic service providers offer that benefit society. Then we find two fabulous and very different transgender sex-positive stars; comedianne Morgan of “Girl Junk” and queer porn star Jiz Lee. Morgan is embarking on her “Girl Junk” tour and documentary. Morgan and I talk about being a lesbian trapped in a man’s body, being very “manly” externally – an iron worker with secretly shaved legs and toenail polish, a life-threatening galvanizing moment that changed her life, and authenticity as essential – even when it’s hard. Queer porn star Jiz Lee and I will talk about the difference between mainstreem porn and queer porn and why it’s important, making sexy art for good causes, and the perils of public bathrooms for transgender people. More sex-intellectual interviews still to come from the Antique Vibrator Museum, Dr. Carol Queen, the filmakers of “Passion & Power: the Technology of Orgasm,” and Dr. Charlie Glickman.

Sexploration with Monika – Theatre of the RiDICKulous: Hot Greeks screwing w/ gender since 1972

billschiffler — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 04:01:16 +0000

The history of the college movie musical, ancient greece, and the psychedelic drag queen troupe the Cockettes smash together for a grinding rolicking and glittering evening of musical theatre in the Thrillpeddlers production of Hot Greeks at San Francisco’s Hypnodrome. There is no shortage of innuendo at Athens U, as Lysistrata and her sorority sisters engage in a singing and dancing battle of the sexes where gender is just another part of the magic. We speak with Thrillpeddlers’ Russell Blackwood, original Cockette & composer Scrumbly Koldewyn, and cross-dressing cast member Joshua Devore. The singing, dancing Hot, Hot Greeks and their turgid talent will thrill you in the most sex-positive way – with extra sparkle. The Hot Greeks was originally done in 1972 by the underground gender-bending sensation “The Cockettes” at the Palace Theatre in SF’s North Beach, as part of the “Nocturnal Dream Show.” Their dancing, set designs, show-tunes and costumes, are said to be “LSD-influenced,” and other show titles include Tinsel Tarts In A Hot Coma, Journey to the Center of Uranus, and Pearls Over Shanghai (Pearls over Shanghai was also recently reproduced by the Thrillpeddlers). Photos here and you can see HOT GREEKS at the Hypnodrome in San Francisco- it’s been extended thru May 19th, 2012! Listen to an original member of the Cockettes talk about what inspired the show and the new production of Hot Greeks.

Sexploration with Monika – Spring Break, Date Rape: Causes and Myths

billschiffler — Wed, 18 Apr 2012 04:01:52 +0000

Spring Break is a time where alcohol and crossed sexual expectations collide, a tragic recipe for date rape. You will be shocked when you hear how many young men don’t even realize that they’ve committed date rape, and just call it “drunk sex.” Author and youth advocate Shelley Stoehr has gathered stories from many victims and near-victims of date rape and hopes that her book “Somebody’s Daughter” will inspire parents and young people to have frank conversations about dating, parties, sex, drinking, and how to trust your intuition. We discuss the myths about sex and gender that perpetuate the sexual minefield and rape culture. One in five young women in college are raped, and only 1% of men who are raped report it. In fact, do we even know how many men, like rapper Lil’ Wayne have lost their virginity in a situation where they maybe they don’t call it rape, and try to joke about it, but they didn’t really want to and were forced into it? What makes media personalities like Jimmy Kimmel minimize and joke about non-consensual sex with an 11-year old? (watch the video) What horrible lessons about sexuality and trusting the opposite sex or future romantic partners does this leave with victims? How can we prevent rape before it happens?

You can join Sexploration with Monika at the “Second Base Party,” a sexy party where instead of sex, you can go all the way to second base – which, for those of us who missed this in high school, 2nd base is above the waist. The theme is “Purr With Me” so there’s plenty of heavy petting, purring, kitty cat ears and swishy tails. We speak with co-founders Jocelyn and Fuzzy Philippe of Club Exotica about how to create a party like this where everyone feels sexy, safe, frisky, and free. How can you create your own community like this? You can learn how to speak the language of the kitty cat to a potential lover, to help them communicate to you what they want and get permission for what you want. The unspoken communication of the kitty cat increases the vocabulary of your language of love by moving it out of the language of words to the language of touch, which is more subtle. Purr with Me is a party where you learn the behavior of sex parties, how to say yes. And how to say yes to what you want! What about the rules of play? Could rules make the game more interesting?

How giving back backfires (in a good way). How you can spend less than a bathroom remodel, give an entire village the tools to build their own clean water infrastructure (and market those skills to surrounding villages), AND help heal the spiritual divide between the LGBT/Queer communities and religious organizations? In this episode we discuss queer activism, which is not limited to “queer issues,” but is reaching out to humanitarian problems facing the entire world. Gay Night at the Wax Museum was a benefit for the Rainbow World Fund and the Richmond Ermit AIDS Foundation. We discuss the gay communities’ aid projects for clean drinking water, health care, and HIV/AIDS outreach, plus, the humanitarian and spiritual implications of the gay communities’ efforts to do good in areas traditionally relegated to religious organizations. Jeff Cotter of the Rainbow World Fund shares how it can be healing for both the gay community and the religious organizations to collaborate on life-saving projects. Joe of the Richmond Ermit AIDS Foundation tells me what he got out of 18 years of raising money and awareness for local AIDS charities. The AIDS epidemic was a tragedy, but it motivated these activists to go out into the world, locally and internationally, to help people and commemorate the friends they lost.

billschiffler — Wed, 07 Mar 2012 05:01:11 +0000

With the traditional roles for the sexes morphing, there is a lot of confusion for both sexes. Men are discovering aspects of themselves that have been previously denied them in our culture, but how to integrate them? Helena and Ed Fell explore taking masculinity beyond the the traditional strong and silent type into passion, integrity, aliveness and into their full power through the heart in relationship and the Mankind Project.

Sexploration with Monika – Removing the barriers to sexy: queer tantra and the natural birth control app

billschiffler — Wed, 29 Feb 2012 05:01:49 +0000

Tantra emphasises the sacred side of sexuality, but many tantra classes focus on the heterosexual couple, privileging feminine and masculine energy. Does human sexual energy really work within only the male/female binary? Evalena Rose teaches gay and all-women tantra, and believes we’re limiting ourselves by having to choose gay or straight. Plus, she tells us how critical it is for your relationship that you actually vocalize what you really want. Plus, are you sick of condoms and the pill? Does hormonal birth control make you feel crazy and out of whack? Check out Kindara, it is almost like the rhythm method 2.0 with an iPhone app and wireless thermometer. Except that during the course of the interview, creators Kati Bicknell and Will Sacks tell us why the rhythm method is practically doomed to failure, and Kindara’s sympto-thermal method is 99.4% effective. Natural birth control in your pocket and your phone takes care of the math and complicated calendar? You can pinpoint and become more conscious of your fertility rather than trying to disrupt it, and get about 20 days a month of I’m-not-going-to-get-pregnant sex. Our Token Straight Guy this week is the hilariously irreverent Cory Sklar of Illogical Contraption, the Heavy Metal Coast to Coast on Whip-Its. How tantra removes the barriers to intimacy and the app that could help you safely use fewer condoms (and that doesn’t mean because you are having less sex).

billschiffler — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 05:01:39 +0000

Don’t you want to open the heart-shaped box of joyful ridiculousness that is San Francisco’s most friendly, vividly colorful (and yet somehow highly approachable) sex party? Founder Barron Scott Levkoff aka Professor Dandy will join us with the ins and out of throwing 10 years of Kinky Salon and the Sweetheart’s Ball Saturday, February the 18th, 2012.

Plus, we’ll talk about Whore! magazine’s Love Court at the Casanova Lounge (Valencia and 16th) on Valentine’s Day, and directly after at 10pm supperclub’s My Saxy Valentine 70′s Soul party frolicking on the dance floor and supperclub’s infamous beds. Plus, we’ll check in with Dr. Bobby Love about the new Syncrohearts Love Game app for your iPhone or iPad available on iTunes for only 99 cents. We also take the most disturbing listener call of my whole radio career. I now actually think it’s for real, but do you think it’s a joke?. We can only hope. Actually Professor Dandy’s philosophy of getting your gentleman pervert on and rigorously pursuing social sexellence is a LOT less creepy.

Sexploration with Monika – Sexuality, Spirituality, Being Queer: Waving Your Freak Flag in the Presence of GOD

billschiffler — Wed, 15 Feb 2012 00:01:04 +0000

When religion tells you that the way you want to have sex is a sin, how does that affect your relationship with God and spirituality? What was your experience as a teenager, as change and desire surged through your body, and you got messages that sex was only ok in the context of marriage? As a teen, it’s not like you should get married anytime soon, and what if you can’t even get married because you’re gay? What you desire is outside of what the church believes should be sanctified. For queer people whose sexualities are “controversial” and stigmatized in most churches, having your desire in direct contradiction to the messages of who you are supposed to be, can really alienate you from God. Not limited to being gay, there are many sexual expressions and identities that are pathologized by different religions. How could God be all-knowing, all-powerful, and good if what joy you feel in your body is supposedly evil? The God Project and Reviving Spirits are a project of Outlook Theater in San Francisco. Performances and workshops were literally taken directly from surveys about what people personally believe about God, gender, sexuality, pluralism, beliefs, and atheism. You can take “the God Project” survey now. They want 1000 responses from all over the world, so please feel free to share the link. The goal of Outlook Theater is to bring the survey to life in various LGBTQ centers, places of worship, and other venues using theater and dialogue that build bridges between the diverse LGBTQIA communities. Co-directors Anthony Julius Williams and Jason Wyman are committed to cultural bridge building, and are looking for more performers. Look for the call for artists at outlooktheater.org. We’ll discuss how spirituality and sexuality are connected, and how post-modern queer performance art can be about wounds around spirituality. Plus we’ll learn what personally drew Jason Wyman and Anthony Julius Williams to Reviving Spirits. What is the relationship to GOD for the queer, kinky, freaky, turned-on, and/or LGBTQIA community? What is GOD’s relationship to us?

Sexploration with Monika – Fight Sex-Negativity w/ SF’s Alt Pornmakers and Amsterdam’s Academia

billschiffler — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 00:01:29 +0000

How can we help make sexuality more open and free? How do public platforms and sex-positive community work to normalize sexual freedom? Does porn have a role in creating sexual freedom? Ruchamah Van der Horn has come all the way from the University of Amsterdam to discuss the use of public platforms to counter social and cultural stigma of sex, with the sex-positive community and producers of alternative porn here in the San Francisco Bay Area. The United States may be ridiculed for it’s closed mindedness and sex-negativity (sheah, as if abstinence-only works) but actually that works in favor of creating fertile and outspoken sex-worker activism and advocacy. And does empowerment go with less creepy porn and more sexy porn? Can they be the same thing? Yes and no, and as long as it makes you happy (and is consensual) as our cheerful porn stars point out. AliceinBondageland’s Go Ask Alice talks about how the SF Alternative porn scene is about authenticity with queer porn star Arabelle Raphael who says porn can teach you who you really are. Yes, that’s Arabelle Raphael of such adult XXX film hits as “Occupy My Ass” and “Asphyxia Heels the World!” We’re not joking, but *you* can laugh, especially with Token Straight Guy comedian Malcolm Grissom!!

Sexploration with Monika – 020112

billschiffler — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 00:01:44 +0000

When you’re at a party, after you introduce yourself, what’s the first thing people usually ask you? “What do you do?” When you’re a sex-worker and you perform some kind or erotic service from dancing to sex for money, what do you say? Do you lie and tell them you’re a life coach? Or do you tell them and deal with their slut-shaming judgement or sudden obtuse prurient interest (you’re a sex worker so clearly you want to talk about or have sex all the time? Not.) We’ll talk to the dangerously smart pre-law Sandy Bottoms of the Lusty Lady (the only unionized and worker-operated peep show), and queer sex worker, size activist, and pleasure activist for people with disabilities, Kitty Stryker. We’ll also explore SWOP (Sex Worker Outreach Project), discuss the difference between the male gaze and the female gaze in porn and strip clubs, and how to make space for a more aggressive female sexuality. Look out. With Token Straight Guy comedian Paul Brumbaugh of the Edge of Insanity.
