										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Welp, I am a fair bit late with this post. I&#8217;ve thought about finishing it every day for the last week, but I was never at my laptop when the thought struck. I guess I was too busy enjoying this media to write about it. Oops.</p>
<p>Without further ado..</p>
<p><strong>Listen</strong></p>
<p>Actress Jameela Jamil hosts two episodes of a podcast called <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p06kt9rz">The New Age of Consent</a> wherein she discusses the nuances of consent. It&#8217;s pretty quick and features some awesome guests.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve spent much of the last week binging <a href="http://www.wattsthesafeword.com/podcast" rel="external nofollow">Watts Your Safewor</a>d. I recently caught an episode of Sexplanations featuring co-host Amp, and while I just do not enjoy Dr. Lindsey as a host, I <em>knew</em> I had to get some more of Amp. Watts Your Safeword is relatively new, so there aren&#8217;t that many posts. Amp is joined on air with his daddy Mr. Kristofer, and the two discuss their work in porn as well as kink, among other topics. It&#8217;s been a while since I listened to a podcast simply because I enjoy the banter, but I do with this one. Amp is nerdy and punny, and I often find myself laughing at his antics. Several of the episodes have been kinky versions of games, including Kinky Shark Tank. They also tackle more serious and thoughtful topics, but there&#8217;s always a joke or pun to be found. I see that a new episode has been posted since I finished the archive, so I need to catch up!</p>
<p>Sunny takes on the issue of COVID-19 in <a href="https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/american-sex/e/68055835" rel="external nofollow">this episode of American Sex</a> featuring Kate Loree. I especially appreciate the comments about the things we all can do to improve our state of minds when the world is in its current state.</p>
<p><strong>Read</strong></p>
<p>I&#8217;m going to recommend a few non-sexy books this month. The last couple that I read about sex fell a bit flat for me.</p>
<p>First up is If <a href="https://amzn.to/2UBgZfN" rel="external nofollow">I Understood You, Would I Have This Look on My Face?: My Adventures in the Art and Science of Relating and Communicating</a> by Alan Alda. The title is ridiculously long, but the book is not, and I particularly enjoyed hearing Alda narrate his own book. He has such a great voice for it! His ideas really made me think about communication and especially empathy, and I gained so much respect for how he interacts with others.</p>
<p>Samantha Allen&#8217;s <a href="https://amzn.to/344TI91" rel="external nofollow">Real Queer America: LGBT Stories from Red States</a> is a multi-stop road trip to some of the cities that offered the most formative experiences in the former Mormon&#8217;s life. Again, I listened to this one and Allen read her own words. Her voice was so vulnerable at times as she spoke about the changing landscape for queer and trans people like herself, even in some traditionally-conservative locations. It simultaneously gave me pause and hope.</p>
<p>Finally, <a href="https://amzn.to/3aAqelH" rel="external nofollow">For Small Creatures Such as We: Rituals for Finding Meaning in Our Unlikely World</a> is the new book from Sasha Sagan, daughter of carl. I haven&#8217;t finished it, but it&#8217;s so incredibly smart and makes me feel connected to a world that&#8217;s larger than I am. Like Sasha, I am not religious, but she has thought more conscientiously about the meaning of ritual in our lives. I think many of us could benefit from doing the same, and I cannot complain about feeling closer to Carl through his daughter&#8217;s words.</p>
<p><strong>Watch</strong></p>
<p><del>I also don&#8217;t have any videos related to sex to watch</del></p>
<p>I forgot about this <a href="https://vimeo.com/222111805?fbclid=IwAR1TDPpwMTQnvaChJC1rlM5srm7kNKtTIUbN0cNKI-OZzUL7qeyzQESoiQQ" rel="external nofollow">adorable animated documentary about the clitoris. </a>It&#8217;s in French, but there are subtitles!</p>
<p>A couple other things struck me this month:</p>
<p>Are y&#8217;all familiar with PlutoTV? It&#8217;s apparently not new, but I&#8217;ve only heard of it in the last couple weeks. Oddly, it was mentioned in several places. I&#8217;ve been using it to watch Leverage, which I recommend but like slightly less than I did when it first aired.</p>
<p>This video that illustrates <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSTtUv8gSm8" rel="external nofollow">the capabilities of deep fakes</a> just blows my mind.</p>
<p>Mark Rober, who you might know for his exploding package video, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5-dI74zxPg&amp;t" rel="external nofollow">demonstrates how germs spread</a> in a more recent video. It&#8217;s a good reminder in the time of COVID-19.</p>
<p>DJ Tom Nash <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzIp4IzDPG0" rel="external nofollow">discusses adaptability and self-importance</a> among other important ideas in a TED talk that&#8217;s less than 10 minutes along <em>and </em>is funny.</p>
<p>So, folks, I clearly need to read and watch more sexy content. Got any recommendations for me? Sound off in the comments!</p>
