In this episode of DFW, Myisha interviews Alex Fine of Dame. She and Myisha discuss what it's like to be a lifelong "sex talker", someone who is fascinated by sex and has made a career talking to others about sex.

Alex talks about her relationship to the work "slut", the slut-shaming she endured as a kid, and how she has integrated her sexuality and her feminism into a sex toy brand that is focused on decreasing the pleasure gap. Listen for a discount code at the end to try one of Dame's products!

Myisha interviews two sex coaches in training, Tama and David, who participated in a month-long (almost) gender swap where they dressed in the other's gendered clothing and performed gender as the other. From shaving to not shaving, from no makeup to makeup, this couple experimented with what it means to "act like a man" and "act like a woman" in this world. They both learned so much as a result! Tama and David were inspired by Peggy Orenstein's book Girls & Sex. Check it out. 

Myisha chats with her new friend Rogue Bit about the possibilities of sex mediated through technology. They discuss what digital sex looks like now and what might it look like in the future. They also talk about how the gaming space can be a place for sexual exploration and boundary pushing when it comes to gender and sexual expression. Myisha references a piece she wrote about digisexuality, and you can read it here.

Myisha chats with the founder of Citizens of Culture, Maceo Keeling. They talk about masculinity and modern dating conundrums including what it's like out there for straight folks dating in the wake of #metoo. Spoiler alert: it's complicated! 

Maceo's work centers around giving people the tools to think critically about their relationships and improve them through communication and consent. He's also on his own personal quest to be more intentional about his sexual and gender expression.

Myisha chats with the creator of a one-woman comedy show about never having an orgasm. Molly Brenner Is Not Coming is a comedic journey through Molly Brenner's experience with a very common occurrence for women: anorgasmia, or lack of orgasm. She also tackles growing up being very sexually curious, vaginismus and some of the common sexual milestones that she never got to experience, all with a comedic twist!

Myisha chats with the foundress of Sustain Natural, Meika Hollendar at The Assembly in San Francisco. The Assembly is a clubhouse for women and Myisha helped organize their first sexual wellness event. Myisha interviewed Meika about what it was like to start a sexual wellness brand geared specifically towards women and the motivation behind writing her book, Get On Top: Of Your Pleasure, Sexuality & Wellness: A Vagina Revolution. Meika and Myisha then answer some amazing questions from the audience.

Myisha speaks with Joseph Gelfer about his Five Stages of Masculinity theoretical model. They talk about what the future of masculinity could be as well as how to discuss masculinity with folks who are at the various stages. Joseph also opens up about what masculinity has meant to him and how that has changed over time. Other topics explored include intersectionality and Rupaul's Drag Race!

Myisha discusses gender and how that has been expressed throughout Hex's life as she has identified formerly as a gay man and now as a woman. Myisha and Hex explore gender performance and what that means in everyday life as well as in drag. They also talk about the degrees of safety one can expect as they express a gender that is atypical. Hex shares how her gender is often misunderstood in relationships and how race intersects with her gender expression.

Myisha interviews Dr. Rachel Gelman, a pelvic floor physical therapist based in San Francisco. Dr. Gelman shares with Myisha the most common concerns her patients have, including painful sex or sexual difficulties, and how pelvic floor physical therapy can help address these concerns. They also go over what the pelvic floor is, how it's connected to the rest of the body and what you should (or shouldn't) be doing to keep it healthy.
