And so, my curiosity today leads to this crazy world we live in. I’ve spent a season talking to people where the underlying factor is identity and issues stemming from societal constructs of gender. As Brene Brown says, "Vulnerability is not winning or losing; it's having the courage to show up and be seen when we have no control over the outcome. …

And so, my curiosity today leads to sex. I started this season talking about performative vs pleasurable sex and now I’m curious about how kink, fetish and bdsm factor into the equation. Respect, communication and consent play such an important role, but how can that affect your partnership and sex life, especially when it feels like there are such…

And so, my curiosity today leads to mental health. There’s a common theme that runs prevalent over these episodes; when people feel they don’t belong or aren’t seen by society, what and how does that feeling manifest in people? How do you try and live your most authentic life being happy, when society (sometimes your own family) aren’t comfortable …

And so, my curiosity today leads to dating… again. Let’s flip it and reverse it now, I knew when I was done dating but how do you know what you’re looking for and what you want when you’re navigating the dating pool and the quote unquote sea of lost souls on the apps? What's up with dating from other perspectives? How do you deal with the toxic sid…

And so, my curiosity today leads to dating. I’ll just put it out there, its worse dating now than before. The world is at your fingertips if you chose online dating, but let me tell you, its about a 50% chance you’ll come across someone you’ve seen recently, a year ago, a couple of years ago; no change there. I’ll come across some new profiles and …

WARNING ALERT *DETAILED DISCUSSION OF MEDICATION ABORTION EXPERIENCE, MAY BE DIFFICULT FOR SOME LISTENERS* And so, my curiosity today leads to a controversial topic that is stemming quite the debate; abortion. Somehow a medical procedure has turned into a debate on ethics and morals and is dividing us. Is there a way for both sides to live harmonio…

And so, my curiosity today leads to a topic that I’ve wanted to talk about for a while as its something pretty personal to myself (and it must be to others). Sex and what can happen when our clothes come off can be a pretty special thing between people- when done consensually. Unfortunately, there are ugly sides to non-consent and we don’t spend a …

And so, my curiosity today leads to reflecting back at this first half of this season. I’ll be honest, I had no idea how much work this would be and its been quite the journey. Up to this point, I had recorded all my episodes prior to launching. Through editing myself I cringe at the things I say, wishing I had followed up or talked more about cert…

And so, my curiosity today leads to gender expression and identity... part 2. I couldn’t make this conversation just one episode! There was too much to unpack that I felt it needed some space to digest. I hear lots of talk about trans people and questioning or not understanding things and parts about trans issues. I hear less of people actually tal…

And so, my curiosity today leads to gender expression and identity. I hear lots of talk about trans people and questioning or not understanding things and parts about trans issues. I hear less of people actually talking to trans people to understand what that disconnect is with how we express ourselves. What I really think is there’s a lack of comp…

And so, my curiosity today leads to motherhood. Since I’ve pretty much been perpetually single my whole life and instead focused on embracing my sexuality and feminism, what it means to become pregnant feels a little far out to me. but what happens when one wants to move into parenthood? How do you bring back sex into your partnership after childbi…

And so, my curiosity today leads why do I think the way I do? A large part of it is because of my dad. We have this father/daughter dynamic that I haven’t seen elsewhere. He too has a curious mind and approaches things he doesn’t understand with questions instead of judgement. While he was tough on me as a father, and we have butted heads many a ti…

And so, my curiosity today leads to sex. There’s a whole lot of sex in movies and tv. I grew up thinking about all the ways I should make him orgasm but there was little focus on exploring what I needed to make it happen. I don’t think we give our sex life and our sexuality enough attention. It’s full of shame and insecurity. I think the change we …

And so, my curiosity today leads to girls and gays. We have fabulous relationships! What is it about girls and gays that just works? I’ve been called a fag hag by many a gay but I’ve equally been told its offensive by others. Is it? Why do some people not like this term? Who else could I talk about this other than with my gay bestie: Jonathan de la…

And so, the curiosity leads to me; Shelley Dee. Why should you care about what I have to say? Who am I? What is sex positivity? Why should you care? Sooo many questions! I’m here to let you know why you should be listening to my curious thoughts and why talking about sex and human sexuality is important; sometimes more important than you think. Esp…

Launching on May 24 is a podcast that talks about sex and sexuality from the lens of a sex positive brown woman; me... Shelley Dee!
