Kink &amp; BDSM stigma is alive and well in the mainstream, in our own communities, and even in professional/academic spheres. In episode 191 of American Sex Podcast, Sunny Megatron busts some of the most common kink myths + provides clinical &amp; academic resources for therapists, academics, and skeptical naysayers. She deconstructs the following kink &amp; BDSM myths:    <ul> <li>Kink is always sexual and platonic kink does not exist</li> <li>Kink is considered abnormal by psychologists &amp; the scientific community</li> <li>There's a dramatic difference between academic/clinical understanding of kink (that's always more accurate) and BDSM community education </li> <li>Dark age play aka sexual littles' play is abusive and reenacting pedophilia</li> <li>Kink practitioners engage in unhealthy self-harm by proxy and/or glorify abuse</li> <li>Kinks are caused by unresolved trauma … and more!</li> </ul> Sunny Megatron Bio <a href="http://www.sunnymegatron.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Sunny Megatron</a> is an award-winning BDSM &amp; Certified Sexuality Educator, Certified Relationship Coach, and media personality. She’s the host and executive producer of the Showtime original television series, <a href="http://www.sho.com/sho/sex-with-sunny-megatron/home" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">SEX with Sunny Megatron</a>, plus co-hosts AASECT Award-winning <a href="http://americansexpodcast.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">American Sex Podcast</a> and <a href="https://opendeeplypodcast.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Open Deeply Podcast</a>. Sunny was also named XBIZ <a href="https://www.xbiz.com/news/256804/2021-xbiz-awards-winners-announced" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> Sexpert of the Year</a> 2021 and is Editor-in-Chief of <a href="https://zippermagazine.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Zipper Magazine</a>.    Known for her one-of-a-kind build-your-own-adventure approach to sex, kink &amp; relationships, Sunny coined the BDSM community catch-phrase, Kink is Customizable™. In her sell-out workshops, her unique brand of “edutainment” seamlessly combines her humorous lecturing style, interactive exercises, and the latest sexuality research. Sunny’s passion is helping others overcome shame and find power through play and pleasure.

Kink & BDSM Myth Busting w/ Sunny Megatron - Ep 191

Being a part of community isn't required to practice BDSM, although it may seem like it due to visibility. What is important is knowing the positive and negative ways community influences the kink subculture. Yes, mainstream myths and stereotypes contribute to BDSM stigma, however, misleading info from the community causes harm too. On ep 188 of American Sex, Sunny Megatron &amp; Kate Loree discuss this plus give advice on verifying the validity of educational info, sniffing out gatekeeping and “one twue wayisms,” doing effective gut checks in consent situations, and more. Sunny also discusses the far-reaching implications of overturning Roe vs. Wade &amp; how the Earn It Act ties in.  Guest Bio – Sunny Megatron (Kink-Specific Bio) Sunny began teaching about BDSM in 2010. Her area of expertise is soft skills--which center around things like ethics, cultivating self-awareness, and strategies for effective communication. She received a FROST Certificate of Gratitude in 2020 honoring her service to the kink community, was voted XBIZ Sexpert of the year in 2021, Kinkly’s sex blogging superhero in 2017, plus her alternative sexuality focused podcast American Sex won the AASECT podcast award in 2020. Sunny also creates curriculum &amp; teaches about BDSM for sexuality educators, therapists, and care professionals including professional certification courses like the Sexual Health Alliance’s Kink Informed Certification Program. Sunny’s first book, Customizable Kink: A Strategic Guide to Adult Play is scheduled to be released in 2022.

We discuss the headspace &amp; strategy needed to tap into the customizable nature of BDSM, plus dive into the science &amp; psychology behind kinky play--why do masochists like suffering? What happens to the body &amp; mind during the altered states of consciousness subspace &amp; topspace? How do people use kink to be more grounded, regulate the nervous system, explore intense emotional states with minimal risk, and more? There’s a lot more to BDSM than ropes, paddles, and floggers!

Rethinking Kink with Kate Loree & Sunny Megatron - Ep 184

What does the Joe Rogan/Spotify controversy have to do with the freaky things you do in the bedroom? Surprisingly, A LOT! This situation uncovered bigger issues regarding corporate control of information &amp; influence over censorship. In 2022 posting about sexual health, LGBTQIA+ activism, or thirst traps online is risky due to SESTA FOSTA, bank restrictions, and impending legislation like Earn It. Discussions about structural inequity and/or content made by marginalized creators is suppressed by biased algorithms. Indie podcasts &amp; audio apps are among the last least censored mediums and a central hub for these kinds of discussions. How could one corporation's aggressive ambition to dominate audio entertainment threaten that &amp; more? How did Spotify become the largest podcast platform &amp; what’s next? This episode is a wild ride taking you from Joe Rogansville all the way to your sexual freedom.  Guest Bio – Sunny Megatron Sunny Megatron is an award-winning Kink &amp; Certified Sexuality Educator, Certified Relationship Coach, and media personality.

What does the Joe Rogan/Spotify controversy have to do with the freaky things you do in the bedroom? Surprisingly, A LOT! This situation uncovered bigger issues regarding corporate control of information &amp; influence over censorship. In 2022 posting about sexual health, LGBTQIA+ activism, or thirst traps online is risky due to SESTA FOSTA, bank restrictions, and impending legislation like Earn It. Discussions about structural inequity and/or content made by marginalized creators is suppressed by biased algorithms. Indie podcasts &amp; audio apps are among the last least censored mediums and a central hub for these kinds of discussions. How could one corporation's aggressive ambition to dominate audio entertainment threaten that &amp; more? How did Spotify become the largest podcast platform &amp; what’s next? This episode is a wild ride taking you from Joe Rogansville all the way to your sexual freedom.  Guest Bio – Sunny Megatron <a href="http://www.sunnymegatron.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Sunny Megatron</a> is an award-winning Kink &amp; Certified Sexuality Educator, Certified Relationship Coach, and media personality.
