Sex Is Medicine REBOOT ~ The Podcast for Sexual Rebels and Spiritual Warriors!

Raw, raunchy, and most of all, REAL. Hosted by Devi Ward Erickson and Alaina Salks, Sex Is Medicine is the go-to podcast for sexual rebels and spiritual warriors. Drawing from over 27 years of combined expertise in holistic sexual wellness, Vajrayana Tantra, Tibetan Medicine, and somatic science, Alaina and Devi deliver your weekly dose of sexual wellness through a social justice and anti-racist lens.

With a focus on the transformative and healing aspects of human sexuality, Alaina and Devi are committed to busting myths and breaking down systems that keep you disconnected from your true sexual potential. If you identify as a misfit, queer, and/or socially non-conforming human and are looking for decolonial, pleasure-based, humanistic sex education, this is the place for you!  Because yes, sex is political (and Tantra is too!)
