Show Notes
This week we talk with Andrew Gurza & Heather Morrison, the brother-sister team behind the first line of sex toys for people with disabilities, Bump'n. The idea started a few years ago with a chance conversation about Andrew's increasing difficulty with self-pleasure due to Cerebral Palsy. Last week, the company they founded launched their first product. Some of what we talk about: Ways the sexual health & wellness industry ignores the needs of people with physical limitations The challenges of founding a sex tech startup with no prior experience How user feedback about The Joystick--a huggable, humpable, 3 ft long device designed for hands-free pleasure--uncovered profound intimacy benefits for people of all abilities How preliminary research lead to a partnership with a leading design expert and a groundbreaking book detailing personal stories and insights about sex & disability ___________________________________ --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 179 Links Bump'n website https://getbumpn.com/ Bump'n release video (Andrew gives a nod to Steve Jobs!) https://vimeo.com/652219391 Bump'n Twitter https://twitter.com/getbumpn Bump'n Instagram https://www.instagram.com/getbumpn/ Bump'n Facebook https://www.facebook.com/getbumpn Andrew Gurza website http://www.andrewgurza.com/ Andrew Gurza Twitter https://twitter.com/andrewgurza_ Andrew Gurza Instagram https://www.instagram.com/andrewgurza_ Andrew Gurza Patreon https://www.patreon.com/disabilityafterdark Disability After Dark Podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/disability-after-dark/id1151890990 #DisabledPeopleAreHot Merch https://store.podcastjukebox.org/collections/disabled-people-are-hot Picture This Documentary https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3fMCsyhvnEc Episode 55 American Sex Podcast with Andrew Gurza https://sunnymegatron.com/andrew-gurza-sex-disability-ep-55-american-sex-podcast/ Episode 88 American sex Podcast with Andrew Gurza https://sunnymegatron.com/disabled-people-are-hot-andrew-gurza/ XBIZ 2022 Awards Sexpert of the Year, Sunny Megatron voting open now - https://xbizawards.xbiz.com/voting/XBA-3027.php Open Deeply Podcast http://opendeeplypodcast.com Ken's charity DnD game Monday's 4pm-7pm PT https://www.twitch.tv/thunderpantsacademy American Sex Podcast Discord Community http://bit.ly/discordasp American Sex Podcast subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/americansexpodcast American Sex Podcast Patreon http://patreon.com/americansex Updated free BDSM Negotiation sheet/Mini-Workbook https://sunnymegatron.gumroad.com/
