 You’re in the throes of passion. Looking to add a whole new level to your pleasure, you want your favorite sex toy. Maybe there are kids in the house so you keep it stashed away behind those pants you’ll never fit into on the top shelf of your closet. Your partner goes hunting for it, they’re taking a long time, with every second you’re losing your mojo. They can’t find it. They’re yelling for you from the closet. Where is it?!?! You’re getting angry. GAHHHHH! Orrrrrr, you think you’re slick and you keep your favorite vibrator in your nightstand drawer. Annnnnnd, you’re probably not washing it after every use but who cares, it’s just you using it and it’s totally fine in there, right? Uh, no. That drawer is filled with used hair ties, old Starbucks cards, throat lozenges, a backstage pass from a Duran Duran concert and a thick layer of dust, germs, and crust. THIS IS NOT CUTE and you are asking for all sorts of trouble if you’re not storing your pleasure products correctly. But how??? On this episode, I interview Deborah Semer, the founder of Joyboxx, the world’s only hygienic sex toy storage system. Guess what, it’s not easy starting a sex product company — especially when the product is also designed to protect your health, well-being and privacy. That’s a lot for one thing to do. How did this journey take Deborah from an altruistic career in the non-profit world to sprawling sex toy factories in China? Why is this product unlike anything that’s ever been to market before? And why is a dusty shoe box from under some dude’s bed part of her origin story? You’re about to find out. If you’re interested in innovative pleasure products, best practices for storing for your sex toys, how to ward off nasty germs in the time of COVID or badass women who take big risks in starting their own companies, this episode is for you!

GIVE YOURSELF PERMISSION

Astrology has been around in various forms for thousands of years. Some people call it a pseudoscience, while many highly successful people base all of their major decisions on the stars. Where you stand on the subject is your business. I’m not an expert in astrology by a long shot, but I can’t help but notice that there are very similar traits shared by friends who were born under the same signs. Eerily similar sometimes. Plus, I’ve had plenty of vivid psychic premonitions come true and multiple otherworldly experiences so I’m much more open-minded about the metaphysical world than others. For my last birthday I decided to treat myself to a astrological reading. I asked around for some referrals and my friend Damona Hoffman, host of the podcast Dates & Mates recommended an astrologer she’s had on her show, Danny Santos. Then I discovered that Danny specializes in sex/love/relationship/intimacy astrological compatibility! SO I HAD TO HAVE HIM ON THIS PODCAST!!! From the age of 11 years old, Danny Santos has shown an active interest in studying Astrology and Tarot. With Spanish and Cuban roots, both sides of his family have always been deeply connected to spirituality. Danny’s great grandmother was a tarot reader in her local village in Spain [and Danny still has the deck she read with to this day]. Through the guidance of other practitioners, Danny has spent nearly two decades furthering his education in astrology and tarot. In his practice, Danny specializes in readings for couples, and will delve into their romantic compatibility using astrology, numerology and tarot. Danny’s readings give partners a unique glimpse into their romantic and sexual futures to see if their sexual stars are aligned. Remember, he’s not a licensed therapist so please enter into this work with an open mind and heart. You can find Danny online @santoscrystalvisions and arrange a reading with him by calling (248) 953-9082.

SEXUAL ASTROLOGY -- IS THE PERFECT PARTNER IN YOUR STARS?

Have you ever been in a situation so ridiculous that you started looking around for hidden cameras? Well my guest on this episode, actor Sarah Randall Hunt, had so many over the top horrible first dates (admittedly several of which were her fault), that she turned them into a very sweet rom-com web series called Stupid Cupid. As the co-creator, star and producer of the series, Sarah was forced to relive a lot of bad decision-making on camera. Part therapy and part cautionary tale, this is a show that anyone who’s ever been single can relate to quite well. The first season of Stupid Cupid is available on YouTube here. Also, you can follow Sarah and all of her hilarious adventures on Instagram @sarahrandallhunt. I met Sarah through WhoHaHa, a creative community and digital content studio that celebrates and elevates women in comedy. Co-founded by creative badass Elizabeth Banks, WhoHaha partners with innovative companies to develop opportunities for comedic female creators and bring ideas to life. Please support this incredible organization and the many BIPOC, female and queer content creators out there. My new sponsor, Joyboxx would like to give one lucky listener a free Joyboxx!

STUPID CUPID WITH SARAH RANDALL HUNT

One year ago, this week, the TV show I was writing sent everyone home because of COVID. We all figured it would be a week or two but that hiatus turned into a week or 52. Now, after a year of being locked at home, setting aside the non-stop stress of the past year, have you figured out how to enjoy private time with your partner in a house filled with other people? I’m guessing no. On today’s show, I speak with Dr. Shannon Chavez, a nationally recognized sex therapist, relationship expert, licensed psychotherapist and educator specializing in “all things sexuality” for women, men, LGBTQIA, and couples. She shares all sorts of great ways you can ask for and create space for private time, and best practices to establish boundaries with the kids in your house so you can enjoy adult play. Many parents think establishing boundaries with their kids will create problems. I assure you it’s NOT setting boundaries that creates much bigger problems. And you're always allowed to establish new boundaries whenever you wish. From a little planning ahead, small gestures to make with your partner throughout the day, and a few sneaky tricks that will guarantee some private time, Shannon offers all sorts of ways to get the conversation started with the little ones, and get the party started later with your big one. Based in Beverly Hills, CA, if you’d like to schedule a complimentary consultation or learn more about Dr. Chavez’s mind-body approach to sexual health and pleasure enhancement, she can be reached at https://drshannonchavez.com/ or by phone at 323.920.9473. You can also find her online @drshannonchavez, plus check out her her YouTube channel for more helpful tips.   Speaking of Stealth Sex… My new sponsor, Joyboxx would like to give one lucky listener a free Joyboxx!

STEALTH SEX WITH DR. SHANNON CHAVEZ

It’s a vajical moment in every girl’s life: the day she becomes a woman. It’s just like a Hallmark Movie — if Hallmark movies were about blood clots, crippling cramps and rage-filled late night searches for chocolate. Each of us experiences this transition to womanhood in our own special way, and it’s a day of your life you will never forget…no matter how hard you try. On this episode four very funny and brave women share their hilarious first period stories.   SUWON WEAVER First up, is the hilarious writer/comedian Suwon Weaver @suwonweaver whose mother, despite being an actual female mother person herself, completely unravels when her daughter gets her period.     L.J. NOEL The very funny L.J. Noel gets her first period in the most dramatic way possible, and unfortunately she’s rewarded with a large standing ovation.   THEA TOUCHTON Actress Thea Touchton @theatouchton joins the sisterhood of the stained underpants in the company of her grandmother who, caught somewhat off guard, outfits her with one of her diapers.   Finally, award-winning TV director and host of the podcast Mojo Girl Madness, Katy Garretson @katygarretson joins the prison of womanhood in an actual prison.   Here’s a photo of skin tight Dittos just to show you exactly how difficult it would be to hide a massive sanitary napkin in these groovy jeans.   I mentioned the amazing first period videos produced by the folks at HelloFlo, including The Period Fairy, First Moon Party and my daughter’s favorite, Camp Gyno. These videos are amazing and really changed how we talk and laugh about first periods. Thank you HelloFlo for being so fearless and funny and completely changing the way we talk about first periods.

FIRST PERIOD HORROR STORIES

I found a funny quote the other day. It says… "Dating after 30 is easy. It’s like riding a bike. Only the bike is on fire. And the ground is on fire. Everything is on fire. Because you are in hell." Okay. Now imagine dating after 50! On this week’s show, I interview actress, voice artist and my good pal, Mari Weiss. Mari was on the podcast nearly two years ago in an episode called How Being Tied Up Released Me. She shared an amazing story about dating a guy who slowly-yet-firmly led her into the world of BDSM. Her first surprise was how willing she was to follow him. Her second surprise was how much she enjoyed it. Before and since then, Mari, like many other single folks, has gone on more than her share of dates. But unlike the days when you’re 25 and sprucing yourself up to no end in order to meet some grown man in a baseball cap, when you’re 50+ you have a lot more perspective on life. You’re also probably not so inclined to put up with anyone’s bullshit. We talk about what causes women, particularly, to constantly set our own feelings aside and put up with people who are clearly unkind and/or unworthy of us. And why it’s a radical idea to enjoy being single and child free. Which, according to science, is actually the healthiest option out there for women. I also touch on my personal quest for happiness and the lessons I learned by pursuing all sorts of big things that I thought would bring me happiness. Turns out, I was missing the point entirely.

DATING OVER 50

Grindr. Launched in 2009, it’s been called “the world’s biggest, scariest, gay bar” by Vanity Fair. And they ought to know. A location-based social networking and dating app used in almost every corner of the planet, Grindr reportedly has over 20 million members with over 3 million men using the app everyday — especially closeted Republicans who like to unwind with rent boys after an exhausting day of legislating against gay rights. See ya soon, Lindsey! After you download Grindr, you enter what you’re looking for on your personal profile, what you can offer to other lucky people, and then you get all sorts of matches. Plus it tells you how close they are. Hot daddy with smelly feet 30 yards away! Hooking up with randos was never so easy! If you’re still not clear, here’s how it all works, courtesy of Conan O’Brien and Billy Eichner. On this episode, I speak to my favorite new musical genius Adam Shenk, who after receiving tons of ridiculous pick up lines on Grindr, decided to set the worst of the worst to music. He created an Instagram page called @popgrindr and the rest is history. His jingles are quite beautiful and Adam is clearly very talented. Thousands of followers agree. When he’s not creating beautiful jingles out of load-blowing requests, Adam is a mainstream singer/songwriter who is legit talented. Here’s his youtube channel. Hire him to play at your event, while you can still afford him. I ask Adam what his rules are for jinglefying a pick up line, he plays some of his favorite songs and then I ask him to create a very special jingle on the spot, just for me. It’s quite lovely, you won’t want to miss it. Also, if you’re ever in Southeastern New Jersey and looking to have anonymous sex, consider The Swan Motel in Linden. As heard on @popgrindr, the Swan Motel is on Route 1. Walking distance to Home Depot AND Applebees!

POPGRINDR -- SONGS SET TO ACTUAL GAY PICK UP LINES

Sometimes, a lady just wants some company. As the poet laureate of our generation, Cardi B recently propounded, “I want you to park that big Mack truck, right in this little garage.” Who can argue with that? Unforch, quite a few garages are situated right in the middle of a global pandemic and locating an acceptable Mack truck and then making space for it in your garage can be a bit…challenging? On this episode, stand up comedian, writer and actress Danette Rodriguez shares a story about being a single girl looking for some D in NY, K? The struggle is definitely real. But there’s a big lesson in Danette's story about setting boundaries, being a good communicator, and figuring out who deserves a spot on your booty call list and who is a garbage person. Can someone be both? Neither? These are things a girl needs to navigate in these uncertain times. As I say in the worst Carrie Bradshaw impersonation ever, “Can you have your cock and eat it, too?” Well, we’re about to find out. Because, there is nothing wrong with wanting some supplemental company, but in this COVID era, there are many more precautions required than the usual safe sex. And sometimes, your hormones will fuck with you when you just wanna fuck. So check out this story of Dating in the Age of COVID, with my guest, the very funny Danette Rodriguez. Who, by the way, was wearing lipstick for this interview and probably wants you to know that she looked quite fantastic.

DATING IN THE AGE OF COVID

We’ve all been there. You have a few too many drinks with your friends. You go back to some guy's apartment. On the way in, you face plant and smash your front teeth. Okay, maybe that particular story hasn't happened to you, but it's definitely happened to someone. On Disaster Dates 2, every single story takes a turn for the ‘What the fuck?!?’ Leading off is the hilarious Gia Mora. When her date says he’s taking her to an Earth Wind & Fire concert, Gia is beyond thrilled. Unfortunately, every thought is a dream, rushing by in a stream, bringing life to the kingdom of sanctimonious assholes. Also, you might not want to date a dude if his car is known for killing people. #JustSayin   Next up, the brilliant Lisa Laureta takes us along on a couple of dates that seem bad, but after further review, are actually horrific. Let’s just say, the neck tattoo should have been all the warning she needed.   Then, bringing us home with the shittiest story on this show (you’ll get that in a moment) is the fearlessly funny Cristi Rumpza. I wish this Disaster Date had been filmed to be used as either a cautionary After School Special or a John Waters movie. With every turn, this just gets bonkers.   Gia, Lisa, Cristi and I are all part of WhoHaHa (@whohaha) a creative community and digital content studio co-founded by actress, director, producer and overall mega-badass Elizabeth Banks. WhoHaHa celebrates and elevates women in comedy. I’m proud to be part of this amazing collective of funny, fierce and hella brave women.

DISASTER DATES 2

The year 2020 has been a total nightmare. A Year of Lies and Loss. 365 Days of Suck. A Crap-A-Palooza. Or, as one friend put it, 2020 has been A Great Steaming Shit-Fuck. Yes, in a year that seemed to be written by Stephen King, we’ve faced a global pandemic and endless idiots violently denying said pandemic. Millions of acres of Australia and California erupted in flames. The leader of the free world suggested we drink bleach as a health treatment. We had a stock market crash, riots erupted, millions of quarantined people lost their jobs, their homes, and their health insurance. Entire industries collapsed. Rudy Giuliani’s sideburns leaked on national TV. The My Pillow guy was somehow elevated to dictating national policy. The people in charge of protecting us from COVID, caught COVID. Crazy conspiracy theories became normalized by the criminal in chief, and, as of this writing, over 265,000 Americans have lost their lives from a virus that some still claim is a liberal hoax and/or no big deal at all. What in the actual fuck is happening?!?! After horror upon horror was hoisted upon us this year, I, like many others, seemed to believe that this was just how it’s going to be. I became addicted to drama and pain. I was compulsively reading the news and going into an emotional tailspin with each new, daily horror. 2020 became The New Abnormal. But according to the stars, this era of patriarchal rage and elitism is on its last dying breath. On December 21st, the Winter Solstice, our universe is going to make a massive shift. Toward all the good we can handle. Discussing the dawn of this amazing new era with me is world renowned intuitive guide, spiritual teacher and bestselling author, Sonia Choquette. We’re going to speak in great detail of The Great Conjunction, which many astrologers are calling one of the biggest astrological events of our lifetime. Light beings believe the world is about to change profoundly. On December 21, a rare alignment between Jupiter and Saturn, is set to shake things up politically, socially, and affect your personal life as well. THIS IS A NEW ERA WHERE YOU CAN CREATE HUGE POSITIVE CHANGES IN YOUR LIFE The only question you should be asking is, How Good Can I Stand It? This is a rare moment in our lifetimes, a pivot away from the ego, toxic masculinity, top down power, age of rage. According to Sonia, we are stepping into a new era of happiness, pleasure and enlightenment. We talk about what you need to do in order to open yourself up to receiving this incredible bounty coming our way, and what you need to do to create unlimited abundance of happiness. Hint: Enjoy it. Now, you may not believe in astrology. You may not believe in Divine Spirit, your guides or the vibrations of energy around you. And that’s totally fine. You do you. But regardless of anyone's believe, I think that we, as a civilization, need a serious reboot. We all need hope. And whatever you believe or don’t believe, the fact is, it’s time for the world to change for the better. I want to do whatever I can to be a part of that change. It’s a radical concept, but I want to experience all of the happiness, pleasure, and love that I can stand. And I can stand a lot.

HOW GOOD CAN YOU STAND IT -- WITH SONIA CHOQUETTE

We’ve all been there. A cozy downtown restaurant. You look amazing. The lights are low. As you peruse the martini menu, your date casually mentions that he identifies with serial killers. WAIT WHAT!?!?! Yup. Dating is no joke and sadly, it’s not getting any better out there. I even mention my worst date ever, featuring a total drunk (not me), a legendary Chicago blues singer (also not me), and someone getting punched in the face (hopefully not me). Good times. On this episode, you’re going to hear some hilarious, dangerous, illegal, backwoods, museum-quality disaster dating stories from three very funny women.   Yale educated actress Victoria Savage (@SavageVtoria) has a date at the Getty Museum that’s almost as deadly as the Last Days of Pompeii.   Actress, vocalist and writer Heidi-Marie Ferren (@heidi_marieferren) takes us along on a date that takes a dangerous turn down a deserted country back road, and that’s not even the scariest part.   And author, actor and executive producer Candy Washington (@CandyWashington) finds herself on a first date sitting across the table from a guy with all of the charm of Jeffrey Dahmer. On a bad day. These stories are 100% real and real funny. Candy, Victoria, Heidi-Marie and I are all part of WhoHaHa (@whohaha) a creative community and digital content studio co-founded by actress, director, producer and overall mega-badass Elizabeth Banks. WhoHaHa.com celebrates and elevates women in comedy. I’m proud to be part of this amazing collective of funny, fierce and clearly DROP DEAD GORGEOUS women.   ALSO!

DISASTER DATES!

In the not too distant past, actresses on television or film sets were asked to appear nude or to be in graphic sex scenes that made them feel uncomfortable, and they could either agree, or get fired. Women weren’t the only performers who were coerced, just a horrifically vast majority. As Kristen Lopez writes for RogerEbert.com in a 2018 piece called A Matter of Legitimacy: Female Nudity On-Screen: “…Hollywood marketing and audience interest still encourages the consumption of female bodies, in spite of increased awareness of the male gaze and the continued statistics charting the lack of male nudity on-screen. Actresses today feel the need to “explain” their reasons behind deciding to be nude or not, damned if they do or if they don’t, all in an aid to justify the audiences’ comfort lusting after female flesh and perpetuating the continued double standards regarding male and female nudity in film.” For many marginalized performers, the systemic power imbalance made it impossible for them to advocate for themselves if they wanted to keep working. But now, in the wake of #MeToo and high-profile takedowns of Hollywood power brokers who’ve enjoyed years of predatory behavior that was hushed up by colleagues, there’s a new era. The era of The Intimacy Coordinator. On this episode, I interview Jean Franzblau, a professional, highly trained Intimacy Coordinator, and a member of the Intimacy Professionals Association, who is working on sets to make sure that performers are not coerced into doing sex scenes, and that all graphic depictions on camera are choreographed and negotiated in advance. If a performer has an issue, the Intimacy Coordinator presents it to the director and producers and advocates on the behalf of talent. Not everyone is working with Intimacy Coordinators, and it’s not as if studios and networks that are employing them, have had a sudden awakening. People have turned a blind eye to predatory behavior for as long as there’s been a Hollywood. It's just that now corporations realize that, just like COVID safety protocols, making sure a set is safe for its performers is a legitimate OSHA concern, not to mention that unchecked egregious behavior will expose them to potential litigation and public relations nightmares. No one wants or can afford that today. As a safety measure for all parties involved, many studios and networks now employ Intimacy Coordinators. We’re going to find out exactly what an Intimacy Coordinator does, how they advocate for talent, and assist writers and directors in the technicalities of certain sexual situations. We’ll also find out why they can write off yoga mats. It’s all in this interview. Also!!!! Huge News!!! We (barely) survived the dumpster fire that was 2020. But, we have a new year coming up with a new President and a badass Female Vice President OF COLOR, so things are looking up! It’s time for us to take back sanity, humanity and pleasure.

THE INTIMACY COORDINATOR

Lite Brite, Ants In The Pants, Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robots, Masterpiece, Operation, Mousetrap, Smash Up Derby, The Evil Knievel Stunt Cycle, Simon, and Gnip Gnop — these were the games of my childhood. Little did I know that all of those amazing toys originated from one company located in a highly secretive bunker just a few miles south of my suburban Chicago home. Marvin Glass, the founder of Marvin Glass & Associates, was one of the most prolific and brilliant toy inventors of the 20th century. His company’s product list is my childhood. One of the most beloved and collectible board games of all time, also created by Marvin Glass & Associates, was a game called Mystery Date. Here’s the commercial from 1965. One of the most sought-after games of the 1960s, if you were a little girl back then, this game was EV-ER-Y-THING. Marketed to girls 6-14 years old, the game was a runaway hit. The best part of every slumber party and girlie playdate, the Mystery Date commercial jingle became part of the vernacular. To this day, most women in their 50s can probably sing it word for word. Yeah, so like every other little girl, I was OBSESSED with this game. In a way, it made me feel grown up and a little naughty to be playing a game about dating. But… Now a million years later, in a completely different world. I find it to be a little more problematic. I have a biracial, 14 year-old daughter and looking back on my beloved childhood board game, I kinda have some issues. Like real issues. On this episode, I chat with three good friends about Mystery Date. Frances Callier, a comedian and regular pundit on the Sexy Liberal Show. My dyed-in-the-wool New Yorker friend, TV writer and producer, Francesca Rollins, whose connection to the game is as New York as can be. Plus my friend and lifetime Mystery Date superfan, Mike Mannarino, an executive with a major Silicon Valley tech firm. Through today’s lens and current political climate, this game looks a lot different to all of us. And the subtext is, in a word, icky. I’d like to say a special thank you to rights and clearances consultant Amy Goodfriend and to the wonderful folks at Hasbro for allowing me to use their awesome jingle in the show. Also, I’m not gonna lie, I wish I still had the original version of the game. With the right framing, I actually think it could still be a lot of fun.   Sex Ed The Musical is available on iTunes, Stitcher, Podtail, IHeartRadio, Podbay, Spotify and more.

MYSTERY DATE!

Fear is a natural, powerful human emotion. It alerts us to the presence of danger, or the threat of harm whether real or imaginary. A little fear is fine, it prevents you from doing stupid things. However, when it prevents you from experiencing things that can enhance your life and make you a happier and more authentic person, you really need to examine it. And then kick its ass. After conquering one of my biggest fears, I was inspired to share this story with you. Because, what seems like a pretty innocuous night in my back yard is actually a stepping stone to enormous change, pride and possibility. Like everyone else, I’ve dealt with fear in my life. I’ve given away my power. I’ve worried about what people would think of me to the point where I was afraid to share my own story. I’ve been afraid that I might be judged, ostracized or mocked for doing what I’ve always wanted to do. But I did it anyway. And you know what? My entire world did not fall apart. In fact, it got better. Because it doesn’t matter what people think about you — that’s none of your business. Period. And you absolutely cannot live your life in fear of what everyone else thinks. Are total strangers or people you barely care about the ones who get to set the direction of your life? I was afraid to write my memoir because I didn’t want to be judged by this super catty mom at my kid’s school. For years, I actually let one bitter and horrible person derail my life’s work. It finally dawned on me that her opinion of me doesn’t matter. My parents’ opinion of me doesn’t matter. Anyone’s opinion of me doesn’t matter. Only my opinion of me matters. There’s a very good chance you are not living your authentic life and pursuing sexual adventure because you are afraid of being judged. Hospice worker Bronnie Ware, author of the book, The Top Five Regrets Of The Dying: A Life Transformed By The Dearly Departing catalogued the most common regrets expressed by people on their death beds. 5. I wish that I had let myself be happier. 4. I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends. 3. I wish I’d had the courage to express my feelings. 2. I wish I hadn’t worked so hard. 1. I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me. BOOM. What is preventing you from enjoying a life true to yourself? Why are you allowing fear and people who truly mean nothing to stop you? How can you get past this fear and start living the sex life of your dreams? In this episode, I share a story of my own fear and how even though I thought I was a boss at eliminating fear, it turns out I wasn’t. However, one night spent sleeping in my back yard changed everything for me. Hopefully, this episode will inspire you to face your fears…and then conquer them like a motherfucking BOSS! In fact, I’d love to hear some of the fears you face and then conquer. Please email them to me at info@sexedthemusical.com. Or just say hi! We’re always here and love hearing from you.   Please SUBSCRIBE to Sex Ed The Musical HERE or wherever you enjoy the show, and leave us a 5-Star Review! PREESH!
