Pleasure Education w/ Stefanos & Shay - Ep 171

Want to be a sex or kink educator? Or become a better one? Maybe you're a student wondering how to better vet the instructors you learn from? Stefanos and Shay join us for ep 171 of American Sex Podcast to talk about pleasure education. During the pandemic, the mainstreaming of virtual classes caused demand for kink and sex ed to skyrocket. The number of brand new "educators" teaching ethically questionable and dangerous techniques has exploded too. We discuss what you can do as a student or instructor to help combat lack of diversity and quality education in kink & sex ed, the ethics of teaching in a sexually charged setting, dos and don'ts for presenters, tips for attendees on mastering challenging material, red and green flags students can look for when vetting educators or online educational content creators, and more. Stefanos and Shay literally wrote the book on this subject – Creating Captivating Classes: A Guide for Kink, Sexuality, and Relationship Presenters, which includes input from more than a dozen well-known educators. ___________________________________ --Submit your BDSM & sex advice questions by email to [email protected] --To support American Sex podcast, please visit http://patreon.com/americansex (plus you'll get all episodes early, secret episodes, bonus stories from guests, on-air shout-outs, stuff in the mail & more!) --Get friendly with us on Twitter at @AmericanSexPod or visit sunnymegatron.com or americansexpodcast.com --Join our mailing list by visiting http://sunnymegatron.com/newsletter Sunny & Ken, xo! ____________________________________ Episode 171 Links Stefanos & Shay Website https://www.stefanosandshay.com/about-us/ Shay Twitter https://twitter.com/ShayBlondie Stefanos Twitter https://twitter.com/MaestroStefanos Creating Captivating Classes (support Wicked Grounds!) https://wickedgrounds.com/Creating-Captivating-Classes-p395828583 Creating Captivating Classes (Amazon) https://www.amazon.com/Creating-Captivating-Classes-Relationship-Presenters/dp/0578942240/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=creating+captivating&qid=1633842365&sr=8-2 Creating captivating classes academic review https://teachingpals.wordpress.com/2021/09/16/book-spotlight-creating-captivating-classes-a-guide-for-kink-sexuality-and-relationship-presenters/amp/?
