Sexy Nerd

Welcome to the sex nerd podcast. I am your comic book-loving sex therapist host, Tim Baxter. On today's show, we dive into the transformative journey of deconstructing limiting beliefs, reframing negative thought patterns, and destigmatizing societal narratives around sex, identity, and relationships. Discover how to identify and challenge internalized myths that hinder personal growth, using narrative therapy and cognitive-behavioral strategies to rewrite your story. We explore creating a safe, non-judgmental space to embrace authentic self-concepts, tackling topics like sexual orientation, non-traditional relationships, and body image to foster empowerment and self-acceptance with Jamie Azar. Jamie Azar is a sex, relationship, and intimacy coach, educator, writer, and mindfulness practitioner, and owner of Erotic Expressions, where she gives people a nonjudgmental, confidential, and safe space to unleash their inner prisons and reclaim their right to pleasure. She specializes in helping people turn shame off and turn pleasure on through dismantling limiting beliefs, deconstructing, and destigmatizing harmful narrative constructs, and by helping clients reframe and redefine their understandings of selfhood, sex, sexuality, and relationships. She also integrates somatic-based therapy, breathing, relaxation, and focus techniques to further encourage the mind-body connection and to help clients develop tools to regulate their nervous systems. Ultimately, her work empowers people to live their most authentic lives, beyond pressure and expectations, and to embrace their unique erotic expressions.

In this week's episode, I had the privilege of speaking about motherhood, menopause, and sexuality with Dawn Moore. Dawn Moore is the founder of Mama Comes First, a pioneering sexual wellness platform for mothers of all stages, backgrounds, and identities. She is also a triple board-certified Advanced Nurse Practitioner (specializing in Mental Health & Women’s Health), Sex Educator, Midwife, and Mom of 4 (ages 5-18). Through education, community, and bold advocacy, Dawn is on a mission to help mothers break free from the patriarchal capitalist norms that keep them exhausted, isolated, and ‘in line’. She believes that sexual liberation for mothers is an integral part of our world’s collective liberation, because when empowered mothers come together, systems of oppression come apart.When Dawn isn’t revolutionizing motherhood, you might find her tending to her plants, redecorating her home and camper, or bopping away at a music festival. She also runs a small photography business, and used to be a circus and aerial artist. She loves sunrises and sunsets, salads that she doesn’t have to make, cold brew, chocolate, and orgasms. Rainbow and sparkles are her favorite colors.

Role-playing games (RPGs) have become a popular medium for storytelling, creativity, and social interaction. They provide players with the opportunity to assume different characters, navigate complex narratives, and engage with others in imaginative scenarios. However, as with any form of interaction, especially those involving complex emotional and social dynamics, the topic of consent becomes crucial. This episode explores how RPGs can serve as a valuable tool for exploring and understanding consent in various contexts, including sexual relationships and personal boundaries.

Sexual health professionals play a crucial role in advocating for the rights and well-being of their clients, and being informed and active in political issues is essential to ensuring that they can effectively advocate for their clients. Political decisions, such as funding for sexual health services, access to contraception and abortion, and LGBTQ+ rights, directly impact the health and safety of individuals seeking sexual health services. By staying informed about these issues and actively engaging in advocacy efforts, sexual health professionals can help shape policies that promote the health and rights of their clients.In addition, sexual health professionals have a unique perspective and expertise that can inform and influence policy decisions related to sexual health. They are on the front lines of providing care and support to individuals navigating complex and often stigmatized issues related to sexuality and reproductive health. By sharing their knowledge and experiences with policymakers, sexual health professionals can help ensure that policies are evidence-based, inclusive, and responsive to the needs of their clients. Their input can also help policymakers better understand the real-world impact of their decisions on individuals and communities.
