Bridging Forbidden Topics: From Conservative Roots to Kink and Sexuality Education
In this episode, Lilith Foxx shares their journey from a conservative, immigrant household where sex and sexuality were taboo, to becoming a prominent sexuality educator.
Topics discussed include Lilith's childhood curiosity about sexuality, the lack of sex education in schools, her personal research and experiences, and how a traumatic event led to the kink community.
Lilith also discuss their involvement in the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors, and Therapists (ASECT), and her passion for teaching kink, polyamory, and sexual education.
Other themes include the stigmatization of sex work, the importance of inclusive practices for people with disabilities, and the role of communication and consent in sexual relationships. Lilith concludes by highlighting the importance of community and their future plans in public health education.
