Today, we’re sharing a preview of one of our favorite podcasts: American Sex. On a mission to change our dysfunctional relationship with shame & pleasure, hosts Sunny Megatron & Ken Melvoin-Berg tackle taboo topics with lighthearted humor & down-to-earth relatability. This clip is from episode 170 Taboo BDSM Play. In it, guest Mollena Williams-Haas discusses making sense of our darkest, deepest, most unspeakable kinky fantasies.

Why are dark, disgusting fantasies some of our biggest turn-ons? How can what’s “so wrong” feel “so RIGHT”? If your porn search history is twisted, you’re not alone. Mollena Willams-Hass joins us to talk about how normal taboo fantasies actually are. We discuss:

• Why the BDSM community can be the most judgmental
  
• How to handle people yucking your yum
  
• The right and wrong reasons to explore taboo
  
• How some examine oppressive systems like sexism & racism through kink
  
• Why understanding your intention behind it is key
  

Mollena also breaks down a common question – can thinking about extreme fantasies lead to the erosion of our personal ethics or doing dangerous things in real life? Even though the subject matter is dark, this conversation is lighthearted and hilarious too. Laugh your way to “strange boner town” with us!
