Queer History, Kink Culture & Sex Ed with Kim Adamski

Let's be honest...most of us got sex education that left out a whole lot of context.For this Pride Month episode, I'm joined by sexual health educator Kim Adamski to talk about queer sexual history, the influence LGBTQ+ communities have had on modern kink culture, and how community-driven education helped fill the gaps when mainstream sex ed wasn't cutting it.We talk history, stigma, consent, communication, pleasure, and some of the stories that don't always get the attention they deserve.It's thoughtful, fascinating, and exactly the kind of conversation that reminds us how much there still is to learn.Guest: Kim AdamskiWebsite: Kim Adamski, Sexual Health Educator – Sexual health, wellness, and empowermentSubstack: Kim Adamski | Slut Culture | SubstackEpisode sources: LGBTQ+ folks and kink: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/370582976_The_Intersection_of_LGBTQ_and_Kink_Sexualities_a_Review_of_the_Literature_with_a_Focus_on_EmpoweringPositive_Aspects_of_Kink_Involvement_for_LGBTQ_Individuals Kink and Mental Health: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/all-about-sex/202401/are-bdsm-players-psychologically-healthyHere's an article about library bans in Connecticut that I was quoted in (You're going to have to put it in reading mode to get around the paywall): https://www.nhregister.com/news/article/ct-library-bills-lgbtq-books-parent-control-20187029.php
