Thunder Thighs & Bedroom Eyes: A Fat Podcast

Hi there, everyone. It’s been a hot lil minute since we posted, but such is the nature of our chaos podcasting, and more aptly, the very busy schedules both Suzy and Dr. Krista have been navigating lately. In this episode, we discuss jerkin’ the gherkin, ticklin’ the pickle, flickin’ the bean — masturbation! Seemed like a massive oversight to have a podcast about fat sex and never talk about solo pleasure, so we’ve rectified that. We hope you enjoy the many euphemisms, irreverent sidebars, and helpful discussion about how to maximize pleasure with yourself. Thanks always for listening; we so appreciate each and every one of you. Who loves ya, babes? WE DO. xoxo This is a public episode.

Hi, friends! In this episode, listen in as Dr. SexyFat and Suzy dig in with Grace Hamner, creator of the Plus Size Database.  Grace, growing up as a member of the very conservative Church of Latter Day Saints (LDS or Mormonism), didn't develop the vocabulary to talk about the extreme pain in her vulva and vagina until after she married and had two children. Her journey to get a diagnosis of vulvodynia led her down a path of questioning everything; her marriage, her sexuality, her faith, and her agency in her own body.  The Plus Size Database was created to give something back to the fat community, in the form of a large directory of businesses that cater to the needs of people in larger bodies. Grace started it for her own use and realized other people needed the resource, too.  And she's right!  Thanks for listening, and always, be fat, be fab and be free!  Who loves ya, babes?  WE DO.  Resources: gracehamner.comIG @plussizedatabase This is a public episode.

In Episode 13 of "Fat and Fucked," Krista and Suzy chat with Kiely aka IntuitiveFatty about their "Move and Mend" program and how they're working to help clients living in fat bodies to heal their complex relationships to movement. This conversation highlights the need for safe movement spaces that prioritize inclusivity and compassion for those who are accustomed to experiencing judgment and shame when they move their bodies.  Kiely flips the script to one of pleasure, empowerment, and self-care, leaving the pain and punishment behind with their rejection of diet culture, as they usher others to follow suit. We also get a glimpse into IntuitiveFatty's personal journey to ditching societal conditioning and claiming their hotness as they shed their shame and embrace their crop tops.Remember to stay engaged with Fat and Fucked by following us on IG @fatandfuckedpod, sending us your questions about sex and fatness, and telling your friends about us.

In this episode of Fat and Fucked, your hosts Krista Nabar and Suzy Hooker are joined by the marvelous Kayla Stansberry (she/her). Kayla's not just a fatty with the same love for cheese and cookies as us, she's a licensed clinical professional counselor who champions anti-oppression and fat positivity, in the most delightful way! Kayla is the owner of Intuitive Growth Counseling, and works as a therapist primarily with fat folks. She is a certified Intuitive Eating Counselor, and is a fat, cisgender, queer, neurodivergent and white femme. In this episode, we get to hear about Kayla's experiences with organizing a body-positive retreat, the hurdles faced in making spaces more accessible, and oddly enough, bunk bed nightmares. Kayla also raises some serious topics about body diversity, fat trauma, challenging the harmful theories around fatness, emotional struggles, and mental health. And she was a great sport in her willingness to school us in our game "Liberate me, baby" - get ready to unlearn some nonsense! As always, "Be fat, be fab, and be free."

Hey there, fellow liberationists! Welcome to another episode of "Fat and Fucked" with your hosts, Suzy Hooker and Krista Nabar. In this episode our resident sexpert, Dr. Sexyfat, answers a bunch of listener questions about porn, sexual authenticity, nakedness, and sexual functioning among other things.  Before we dive into the Q&A, let's catch you up on what's been happening. Suzy, who has a resting b***h face (which doesn't mean she hates you, by the way), and Krista, a sex therapist (not a sex educator), start by talking about the concept of Fat Joy and why it is inherently an act of resistance. Experiencing joy in the very bodies we are constantly being told to eradicate is resistance.  The first question we tackle is about concerns regarding the adult film industry and pornography. Krista takes a porn-neutral stance and emphasizes the need for sex education and porn literacy. Next, we explore the topic of SSRIs and their impact on sexual functioning. It turns out that these medications can affect arousal, orgasm, and desire. Krista suggests resetting expectations and being open to new strategies for sexual stimulation.We then shift gears a bit and delve into body acceptance and fat liberation. Insecurities about our bodies can still arise in intimate situations, even if we are fat liberationists, but it's important not to let them determine our behavior. We hope you enjoy this episode of "Fat and Fucked" and find some valuable insights along the way. Remember to keep sending us your questions and feedback.

Welcome to a new episode of Fat and Fucked, hosted by Dr. Krista Nabar and Suzy Hooker. We are so glad you made it since this is THE EPISODE you need to hear! We have two incredible guests joining us for an extremely valuable conversation. Dr. Asher Larmie (he/they) and Jeanette Thompson-Wessen (she/her) settle the score on why fat liberation PROMOTES health rather than detracts from it.  Jeanette and Asher share their intimate connection with fatness and fat liberation, and their paths to becoming outspoken advocates of fat liberation. One of the core themes we discuss is weight stigma and its detrimental impact on an individual's health. We also touch on the importance of fat visibility and representation. Throughout the episode, we question the notion of "health" and its distorted portrayal in society. We challenge the assumption that being fat automatically signifies an inability to care for oneself. Instead, we explore how systemic barriers prevent access to quality healthcare for fat individuals and how weight-centered healthcare approaches fail to prioritize well-being. Drawing from their own experiences and expertise, Asher and Jeanette confidently debunk the myth that intentional weight loss improves long-term health outcomes. Instead, they advocate for rejecting diet culture and embracing self-care through body acceptance. Join us on this thought-provoking and enlightening episode as we dive into the complexities of weight stigma, fat liberation, and the true meaning of health. Let's embrace a more inclusive and compassionate world together. If you are loving the pod, please write us a review and a 5-star rating!

Fat and Fucked made it to episode 8, where most podcasts go to die. And what a journey it has been! This episode offers a vulnerable discussion of the challenges and successes that Suzy and Krista have had building Fat and Fucked from the ground up. Shocker, it’s been a lot of work, but also a highly rewarding experience! The hosts then share some of the feedback they have gotten from loved ones who struggle with aspects of fat liberation to the degree that they won’t listen to the F&F. They take the opportunity to address some of the objections and impediments and offer strategies for listeners to reflect on their own experience of the podcast and integrate anything they have learned into their lives.  Fat and Fucked could really use your help in two ways to continue creating great content and growing the podcast: Send us your recommendations for fat folks with important things to say who you want to hear on the podcast. We are especially looking for guests who have marginalized identities in addition to fatness. Positive reviews are really important for the success of podcasts!

Fat and Fucked, Ep. 6 - The Intersection of Blackness, Fatness, and Sex: A Conversation with Sex Therapist and Educator Ceara Corry “I don’t see color. I see everyone as part of the HUMAN race. I treat everyone equally.” This is how many white folx were taught to think about race specifically and individual differences more broadly. This perspective, however, does not account for our own unconscious bias, which we all have, nor does it allow us to acknowledge the tangible differences in the lived experiences of Black folx, especially those who are fat. Hosts Suzy and Krista are joined by their first ever podcast guest, Ceara Corry, a sex therapist and educator, for a complex discussion on bodies and sex in the Black community.  Have a listen, write a review wherever you get your podcasts, and give Ceara a follow on Instagram @ceethesexlady.

The Big Fat Lie, or the belief that fat is bad and thin is good, is pervasive and spawns countless other lies, beliefs, misunderstandings and misinterpretations across all facets of our society. Of course this has a huge impact on everyone, but especially fat folks living in a world structured around anti-fat bias.

What the f**k is “Fat and Fucked”? In the first episode, hosts Suzy Hooker and Dr. Krista Nabar lay the groundwork for moving toward a world in which fat liberation reigns supreme. They share their personal journeys away from dieting and shame and toward acceptance of their fat bodies. A brief history and evolution of the Fat Acceptance movement puts Fat Liberation in context. The hosts explore the inadequacies of the Body Positivity Movement, and establish Fat Liberation as the only way to address the systemic discrimination and oppression that fat folx experience everyday.
