Secular Sexuality

Secular Sexuality

Secular Sexuality is a weekly call-in show live from Austin, Texas every Thursday at 7pm CT. Call us at 1-512-686-0279. We talk about sex from a secular perspective. Sex and sexuality are natural to all living creatures but religion takes this and twists it into something awful and to be ashamed of. Acceptance, education, and fun is what we strive for. We lay the intersection of sex and religion (and occasionally ourselves) bare, openly and honestly. We discuss a wide range of topics each week, removing the shame and reclaiming what has been natural to us all along. Secular Sexuality is produced by the Atheist Community of Austin.

Mindfulness is one of those wibbly wobbly timey wimey words that seems to mean everything and nothing all at once which… honestly is a little on brand for the American idea of Buddhist psychology. But like, what actually is any of this? And what, if anything at all, can 2,500 years of what we can only charitably call ‘research’ have to say about our modern life and times? Licensed Therapist David Teachout joins Kara and Christy for...

Kinda telling that we only have one or two nicknames for noses, objectively the most hilarious looking of all body parts, and about 10,000 for vulvas. Besides the obvious purity culture madness, why are we so uncomfortable talking about our vajayjay-kitty-vagines?

American equality has always been a little more equal for some and nowhere is that more clear than the recent Respect for Marriage Act which failed to fully codify rights granted by the courts in Obergefell v Hodges and Loving v Virginia. Even as those important precedents stand, marriage equality eludes many with financial and medical hardships and its protections exist only for the monogamous. Long-time friend of the show Lily Ba...

Reality Dating may not be the most accurate mirror to hold up to society but it does shine a light on where we’re at as a culture- a biphobic, mate guarding, co-dependent culture. Is there more to trashy tv than meets the eye or is the toxicity catching? Kara Griffin corrals a conversation with our panel of pop-corn throwing reality tv star super-stans Phoebe Rose, Miss O Kissed and Licensed Professional Counselor Ashley Hogan to f...

It’s generally true that yeah, size doesn’t matter, at least not for that thing that matters most. And, quite frankly, it’s never a good look to get into some sort of measuring contest in a misguided effort to prove your masculinity. But standing next to the rest of the animal kingdom, what can it tell us about our humanity? This week renegade science teacher and bioanthropologist Forrest Valkai returns to talk about our human form...

Middle ground is in short supply these days- bipartisan legislation, mid budget movies and peaceful protests all seem to have gone the way of the easy listening radio station. As ‘nones’ take the majority and organized religion finds itself in retreat, how much space is there for tolerance? How does a tolerant society tolerate a book that offers no peace but proposes “to turn a man against his father” and ”a daughter against her mo...

The internet can be dark, and full of terrors, but many of us rely on it to learn not just about the world but each other and ourselves. It’s no surprise then that the same tools that have endangered our health and threatened our elections in recent years are being used to divide us, not just into arbitrary gender boxes but into the sexed and unsexed, the hunter and the gatekeeper or the alpha and the beta. What’s a lonely ex-vange...

You remember recess at school- dressing up like a firefighter or cops and robbers, playing house, pulling hair… maybe not all that different from playtime for adults. Turns out, play and imagination weren’t exactly things we meant to outgrow and 10,000 ads about how to ‘spice up our relationship’ aren’t exactly solving the problem.

How exactly does one “love the sinner” and “hate the sin” when the sin in question is fundamental to who we are as people? We’ve come to see religion as one of the most powerfully dividing forces of the modern world so it begs the question- does it matter if our families see themselves as loving people following a loving god rather than the political pawns duped by charlatans that we imagine them as? If Christ came to divide famili...
