Why not take two episodes of Ask Lindsey sex questions from the Sexplanations' YouTube show and ask my friend how he'd answer. Erik and I met in college and have been friends since our freshman year.

I love hanging out with Aaron. He's smart and easy-going, he's a great conversationalist, and values not doing harm. In just shy of an hour I asked him some of your sex questions and tested his knowledge. He passed with flying colors, of course. What a great feeling to hear about sex positivity in the medical field and learn the doctor's thoughts on somewhat controversial topics such as aphrodisiacs, circumcision, and testing protocol.

Stevie Boebi is a popular YouTuber based in Los Angeles. She came to visit me in Missoula, Montana and I asked her to talk with me about sexual injustices.

While re-visiting Sexplanations' discussion of Alfred Kinsey's scale of sexual orientation it becomes increasingly apparent how out-dated the model is. Join Ashe and Lindsey as they unpack the textbook charts of sexual orientation and flop around designs of their own ideas. A dot in space, a code, a name, nothing at all? What will become of the words homosexual and heterosexual? Are they presently accurate? What's a better replacement?

Heterosexuals were by definition the original perverts which is why I invited poly-pan-trans-grandma Anne to share her thoughts on all things sexual and gender oriented.

Does anyone on the Sexplanations Podcast not do Kegels when I start talking about the Main Squeeze? My follow-up questions after talking with Anne: who determines which language is political correct?

I asked Michael to hang out with me because he's quick-witted and endearing and all sorts of lovely qualities. My goal was to talk about dry humping, which we did, but we also got to delve into one of my deepest passions -- sex and disabilities. I learned about sex in the desert, how willing I am to divulge details about my personal life, and how orgasmic things can get if you really do the Main Squeeze every week.

If you're typically frustrated or even outraged by religion you might enjoy learning that there are clergy members out there with the same emotions. My uncle is a minister in rural Kansas.

In this episode I get to have a very loving and gentle conversation with him about masturbation, anal sex, homosexuality, sin, grace, and judgment. We laugh, he tears...
