NYC based burlesque performer, art muse, and firecracker, Bianca Dagga joined Lola on stage at Otto’s Shrunken Head on September 1st for another installment of Sex Ed A Go-Go.

We were one guest short for our first show back after a busy summer hiatus, but Bianca and Lola joined forces and the Pussy Posse was still poppin. On this episode of Sex Ed A Go-Go, Lola and the crew chat about Sex Geek Summer Camp shenanigans, cunt kicking comes up again, riding a Sybian in the woods, spontaneous anal, anal beads n things, and the best way to procure post coitus mozzarella sticks. It was a weird show. Lol

NYC based Burlesque MC, writer, singer, and gadabout, Bastard Keith and the “Hidden Treasure of Burlesque”  Mandarine Moon-fly, joined Lola on stage at Otto’s Shrunken Head on October 6th for another installment of Sex Ed A Go-Go!

Doing a live show in NY can be very tricky. Sometimes you end up with a packed house and sometimes no one shows up. When the latter happens you learn to make the best of it. When no one shows up for Sex Ed A Go-Go we throw a pizza party and record a kick ass podcast! On this episode of Sex Ed A Go-Go, Lola and the crew chat about scheduled extracurricular fucking, period oral sex, slutty storm preparedness, bruises and why we love them so much, the struggles of performing in NY, the worst tv shows to have on during sex, Twitter, the art of porn and movies we love. Sho Nuff.

Dec 19, 2016

It's really been a year, hasn't it? I know I've been quieter than usual, at least here on the blog. I've been outspoken to the point of blithering loudmouth elsewhere, though. Including a misguided, if impassioned, attempt to reign in someone trolling in a Trump hat on election night at #SSDesire. 

I feel unmoored. Unstuck in time and space. And not in the good way that post-Desire usually brings. Unmoored in that I truly don't feel I have a handle on direction just now. I don't know how to get that back, or how to return toward my goals. All I have now are abstract thoughts, and I struggle with all of them.

As this is a website about sex positivity and inclusiveness, I try to err on the side of compassion. It doesn't always work, of course, and I'll make comments that alienate others. Hell, I know #NotAllChristians, so I don't need to be reminded of that anymore. I'm uncouth, I'm outspoken to a fault, and truly, I often speak before I think, and write before I think.

I've wanted to write about my feelings post-election, a dispatch from the #NewNormal, but have been unable to, thus far. I've started many times, and just given in to my darker despair urges, thrusting my fists against the posts, railing and ranting, gnashing my teeth and wringing my hands. It has, at times, been cathartic, but mostly just fed the despair.

Today, though, the day the electors vote, I felt that I wanted to say something different.

It's about love.

We all know that it's about to get bad, potentially devastatingly bad for so many we care about, for so many in our marginalized communities. Today (unless something insane happens) Donald Trump will be voted as president-elect. He has appointed some of the least qualified people to the most important offices in our country (why shouldn't his cabinet reflect him, after all?) and many actively oppose the posts to which they've been appointed.

It's tempting to say this is part of the Left/Right dance, that this is "same as it ever was." We've been here before, with W. It's comforting to feel that way, and to those who want to, I don't fault that feeling. Just do so with eyes wide open. Because it may be similar, but it's definitely not the same.

Fascism isn't an instant thing, where one day we wake up to totalitarianism. It's gradual. Many will say it's been coming for decades and that may well be true. But with the outgoing NC government working to ensure that the new governor will have far less power, we see that a new playbook has arrived. The rules have changed. The darkness has become emboldened. We see them now, shoving at the margins of polite society.

Where Barack Obama was a symbol of hope and potential to so many communities who've always felt they could not be president, so now we see Trump as a symbol that you don't need to be "politically correct," that telling the "truth" is a great way to get away with being hateful.

We need to watch that these margin pushes don't become the norm. Eyes wide open means watching out for yourself, your family, but also for those that you don't share race, sexuality, creed, or beliefs with. The poorest, the most vulnerable, they're more important now. We need to take care of them as best we can, because things are about to get bad.

So, go ahead and try not to stress out about the oncoming storm, that's alright. But when you see something happening, speak up. When people say horrible things, racist, sexist, homophobic, classist, or downright ignorant, say something.

Continuing to say something is the only way through. Quiet on the side of good is what has brought us here.

The quote that has, bizarrely, meant the most to me throughout this whole horrific ordeal, comes from Twin Peaks:

"While I will admit to a certain cynicism, the fact is that I am a naysayer and hatchetman in the fight against violence. I pride myself in taking a punch and I'll gladly take another because I choose to live my life in the company of Gandhi and King. My concerns are global. I reject absolutely revenge, aggression, and retaliation. The foundation of such a method... is love." - Albert Rosenfield

We must continue to love each other. Love will out. It must.

Let's take care of each other, and make 2017 the year this horrible wave finally breaks and begins to roll back.

Dec 3, 2016

While enjoying time at Desire Resort and Spa, we watched, waited, and realized our suffering through the 2016 Election would continue, but we decided to acknowledge the election and move on, for when we returned home we'd have work to do, and there was no work to be done while "stuck in Mexico". So, Chris Pent. Dr. Liz Powell and myself, with Tonia as our willing hostess and facilitator, decided to talk about:

Closing the Deal

Being sexually free means potential surrounds you, but it can be a real challenge to find someone you're attracted to and to ask them to join you in a way that allows for multiple chances for success, and for graceful failures.

Oct 14, 2016

We leap forward to 1994, and John's take on true crime films Serial Mom starring Kathleen Turner, Sam Waterston, Ricki Lake, & Matthew Lillard. We both agree that the film is light and silly, and has a stellar performance from its lead actress. 

Sep 19, 2016

I'm happy to open our doors again, because tonight we have one hell of a show for you. Team Ass & Titties stopped by to discuss gettin’ booty, ghosting, and being terrible at hookups, and Morgan stops by with the entire Bridgetown Sexy team to talk about finding nonmonogamy, discovering new partners, and swinging.

 

 

Gettin' Booty, Gettin' Feelings

The Ass & Titties crew, aka: Dirty Lola, Mr. Pent, and the Frisky Fairy decide to get together and talk about gettin’ some booty, and getting a little extra feelings along the way. They find you don’t have to shy away from feelings, you need to occasionally be exceptional at communicating expectations, or you get to make some uncomfortable choices.

 

 

Finding Non-Monogamy, New Partners, Swinging, Clubs, with the Bridgetown Sexy crew!

Morgan and Cole invite themselves over to Liz and Jack's place to listen to them tell their origin story. Jack introduces Morgan and Cole to naked story telling as he and Liz talk about discovering swinging, discovering new partners, and discovering kick-ass swinger clubs.

 

 

Ghosting: It Sucks, It's Useful

Dirty Lola, Mr. Pent, and the Frisky Fairy chat ghosting and find that sometimes... ghosting's the safest way to let someone down. Safety concerns, unpleasant interactions, and current societal expectations go into the math on deciding whether to let someone down, or to quietly let someone go.

 

We're Bad at Hookups
Dirty Lola, Mr. Pent, and the Frisky Fairy admit that sometimes they're bad at hookups, and that presents problems if you're just trying to get laid.

Tonight's episode featured music by Soupandreas titled: Over You.

Sep 14, 2016

We reach a shaky point in Twin Peaks history, as a number of the cartoonier plot points begin to draw themselves front and center, with Leo potentially returning home, freakishly strong Nadine's high school memory, and of course more with the Hardy Girls Donna and Maddy. A brief bit of light comes when Lara Flynn Boyle absolutely nails a monologue story about her time with Laura. We also debate the problem of our hero Hawk killing a guy in Canada.

Wicked Pictures performer, director and humanitarian, Jessica Drake, and Good Vibrations very own Sex Toy Santa, Andy Duran, joined Lola on stage at Catalyst Con Midwest in Chicago on April 2nd for a special installment of Sex Ed A Go-Go.

 

We were honored to be asked to be a part of Ccon Studios. Recording with Jessica and Andy was a blast! The show was performed in front of a live audience in a big echo filled room so please excuse the wonky audio.

 

On this episode of Sex Ed A Go-Go, Lola and the crew chat about popsicles and pop rocks and why they make horrible sex toys, the weirdest places they’ve masturbated, whether or not classy dick pics exist, the “Things my Dick Does” guy, and they share the best sex advice they’ve ever received.

On this episode of Sex Ed A Go-Go, Lola and the crew chat about the art of the Pussy Tickle, never being tired of talking about sex, getting your mojo back, Star Trek kinkery, and why hot tubs in the woods can be dangerous things. Seriously.

NY poet, author, and educator, Mo Beasley, and the fantastic Foxy Squire joined Lola on stage at Otto’s Shrunken Head in New York City on July 7th for another installment of Sex Ed A Go-Go.

For the first episode of Flamingos Forever, Ophilia and Cooper watch John Waters' second film Multiple Maniacs at Chicago's Music Box Theater. This version of the film was given a full digital restoration, and is as good as it's ever likely to look (or has any right to). We talk about the religious content, whether or not the film is particularly shocking, or particularly good for that matter. Both of us agree, Mink Stole is the mvp of this film, unless one includes Lobstora, then Lobstora is the best thing ever.

Buy John's book Shock Value where he discusses the making of the film, or other John Waters films and books. (Buying from these links may earn us a small commission.)

Laura's Diary is revealed, and Leland is held accountable for the murder of Jacques Renault while other shenanigans happen and a very racist character shows up. Cooper is incensed by the lesser elements of this episode, namely Hank and Harold, and discusses the value of clearing out the cast. We talk about why some actors vanish and others are in every episode. We sing the praises of Ray Wise, and the amazing opening shot of the episode.

Aug 4, 2016

Cooper, Ophilia, and Miko Technogeisha sit down at Chicago's famous Golden Apple Grill & Breakfast House to discuss their evening's entertainment, seeing The Cornservatory's production of Silence! The Musical. After they discuss their favorite moments and songs, they decide to deconstruct the Hannibal series and give it the autopsy/post mortem it deserves. (So that the final Rudecast episode will no longer be Hannibal Rising)

Silence! The Musical is playing The Cornservatory through August 13th, 2016. If you're in Chicago check it out!

Actress and filmmaker, Hye Yun Park, and the sultry Vera Safire joined Lola on stage at Otto’s Shrunken Head in New York City on May 5th for another installment of Sex Ed A Go-Go.

This show was originally scheduled to air in May after the death of Prince, but due to technical difficulties and wonky audio it was delayed.  Because the quality of the audio is off we decided to air this as a bonus episode, but don’t worry the quality of the show is still right on point.

On this episode of Sex Ed A Go-Go, Lola and the crew chat about their love of the one and only Prince Rogers Nelson, using sexuality as the vehicle for their activism, early sexuality discoveries and adventures, internet hot vs. in person hot, and loosing things in their boobs.

We're disappointed to learn that some of Season Two's...lesser storylines start up this week, with far too little time (though exceptional as it is) given to Ray Wise and Leland. The One Armed Man undergoes a transformation, Maddy laments being thought of like Laura, creepy Harold is creepy, and Lara Flynn Boyle gives an excellent performance to a tombstone proving once and for all that it's James Marshall sucking the life out of her.

The creator of Poly Role Models, Kevin Patterson, and “The Witty Titty from the Big City”, Ravenessa,  joined Lola on stage at Otto’s Shrunken Head in New York City on June 2nd for another installment of Sex Ed A Go-Go.

On this episode of Sex Ed A Go-Go, Lola and the crew chat about their Polyamory origin stories, what annoys them about monogamy, nice ways to tell your partner their oral sex skills aren’t up to par, smutalingus, and why we hate love triangles.

We had a LOT of audience participation during this show, so you may want to pop in your headphones so you can hear the questions and comments from the audience. We definitely need another microphone for audience participation.

A trigger warning is apt, that image that scarred some of us for life, of BOB crawling over the furniture, is in this episode of Twin Peaks. We find quite a bit to like in this second Lynch directed episode of the season, and are thankful that its shorter run-time made way for a more concise story with fewer "remember last year" style recaps. Major Brigs talks to the log, Windom Earle is mentioned for the first time, and Audrey is in over her head.

(Also James, Donna, and Maddy sing that awful song.)

This week we're talking about lots of stuff including Sophie's upcoming appearance at the Guelph Sexuality Conference, sex on the internet, and plenty more. Plus, we have a fantastic guest with Kate Sloan of Girly Juice who was an absolute delight to chat with.

Kate Sloan is a Canadian sex blogger, sex toy reviewer and freelance journalist in her mid-twenties.

Her mission is to infuse discussions of sexuality with whimsy, positivity and joy, because sex is fun and she enjoys celebrating that. In addition to sexuality, Kate also loves to write about fashion, beauty, self-improvement and mental health, because she believes that sex is holistic – it informs, and is informed by, so many other parts of our lives.

On this episode Kate shares a hilarious tale of a sex toy review gone wrong and we also chat about life as a sex blogger, the value of pseudonyms, and plenty of other lively sexy stuff you are sure to enjoy!

You can find her on Twitter as @girlyjuice and on her fantastic site girlyjuice.net.

It is happening again...It is happening again...

A Damn Good Podcast About Twin Peaks returns, with hosts Cooper, Miko, and Ophilia discussing the Lynchiest Lynchian season premiere that ever Lynched. In a double-length episode that uses its excess time for recapping season one, we get some moments that're truly wonderful, with the peak, of course, being Major Briggs telling Bobby about his vision (not a dream).

We're thrilled to be back, and will be coming to you every other week with

Dearly Beloved, due to technicial difficulties and life in general, Sex Ed A.Go-Go's Prince tribute episode will be delayed. In its place, we've chosen to run Dirty Lola's favorite fracking episode of all time... so far!

Hey it's the Birthday Show!!! This was the birthday to end all birthdays. The Pussy Posse (Francisco Ramirez and Sweet Lorraine) and Lola discuss puppy play, lube and the merits of spit. Sexy crazy fun!!  

This show originally aired 7/24/2014 and took place at The Parkside Lounge!

For our very special second anniversary live show at the Gladstone in February, we decided to try something different. After podcasting for a year-ish (with some obvious breaks in between) we wanted to unite our podcasting and live event worlds and did so by (consensually) recording the stories told at our very special anniversary show.

While we usually have a theme for our live events, this month we let storytellers share sexy tales on any topic. As we had so many great tales and so much funny input from our judges, Tynan Rhea and Bethany Daniels, we've had to split this great live episode into two parts. We hope you enjoy our final portion of this event, part 3!

We also chatted this episode about our recent adventures in planning a porn conference and gala, SMUT in the 6ix. You'll hear all about what goes into planning a mini porn conference and can learn all about it at www.smutinthe6ix.com.

In related news: We are currently looking for a new home for our live events as our time at the Gladstone has come to a close. We are still taking a brief breakbut hope to return as soon as possible for more live sexy storytelling!

The creator and editor of the indie porn mag MATH, Mackenzie, and the sensational self-proclaimed weirdo Vada James joined Lola on stage at Otto’s Shrunken Head in New York City on June 2nd for another installment of Sex Ed A Go-Go.

Not every Sex Ed A Go-Go can be filled with YASSSS and high energy excitement. Sometimes we’re kinda quiet, but we’re still hilariously sexy and giving good show. I promise you’ll enjoy this sleepy NPR –esq version of the Pussy Posse. We had a great time whispering into our mics and professing our love to one another.

On this episode of Sex Ed A Go-Go, Lola and the crew chat about play party shenanigans, their favorite porn stars, how third wheels are really just the meat in your love sandwich, the weird magic that is the Womanizer, nerdy spots for sex geeks in NYC, Lola’s dream porn theater, naming your clit, and what types of porn we’d like to see on the small screen. Burger porn was pretty popular.
