EP3 Sarah Fox 

In this episode, Sarah speaks with Sarah Fox a San Antonio, Texas-based artist who creates alternative realities and dreamscapes in her work. Her multi-media narratives and characters are created from her experiences as female artist.

Stories of life, loss, sex, and love are told through human-like hybrid creatures. The resulting puppet shows, prints, drawings, and animations suggest a childlike fairytale but with an undercurrent of dark symbolism and humor.

Her work has been shown throughout Texas, as well as in the Kinsey Institute, The Field Projects Gallery in New York, Espacio Dörffi in the Canary Islands, Bedsetter Art Fair in Vienna, and Casa Lu in Mexico City. 

Her current body of work is focused on pleasure as a mode of resistance. Radical self-acceptance, sensual movement, and self-care are all present and add a layer of healing to the universe in which these characters exist. www.sarahfoxart.com

Seksualizacja dzieci – zwłaszcza dziewczynek – nie jest zjawiskiem nowym, ale dziś coraz lepiej rozpoznajemy jego przejawy i konsekwencje, które w ostatnich dekadach wzmocniła spornografizowana kultura masowa.

Odpowiedzi na ten problem wielu upatruje w rzetelnej edukacji seksualnej, istnieją jednak również tacy, którzy właśnie edukację uważają za jego źródło. Jak więc przeciwdziałać uprzedmiotowianiu dziewczynek i wpisywaniu ich w seksualne konteksty? Na czym polega seksualizacja, jak działa i dlaczego jest niebezpieczna? Jak zmienia się obecnie status dzieci w kulturze i czemu ich ochrona jest tak istotna? O tym porozmawiamy podczas wrześniowej Premiery Pisma.

W rozmowie wzięli udział:
dr Robert Kowalczyk – seksuolog kliniczny, psychoterapeuta, biegły sądowy. Specjalista seksuolog kliniczny – Certyfikat Polskiego Towarzystwa Seksuologicznego.

Patrycja Wonatowska – psycholożka, seksuolożka, psychoterapeutka, edukatorka seksualna, wykładowczyni, ekspertka Sexed.pl, współtwórczyni Instytutu Pozytywnej Seksualności i podcastu #seksozoficznie. Posiada uprawnienia konsultantki w punkcie testowania HIV.

Premiera Pisma. Jak wychować nowe pokolenie, aby ukrócić seksualizację dziewczynek?

The Bridge Sex Position:

In this audio guide, we explore the Bridge sex position—a dynamic and physically challenging position that requires strength and stamina, particularly from the receiving partner. Discover the benefits of this position, such as deeper penetration and enhanced stimulation of the G-spot or prostate, making it a great choice for those seeking a more intense connection. We also address the challenges, including the need for arm strength and the potential for discomfort if one partner is well-endowed.

To ensure the best experience, we provide practical tips for maximizing comfort and pleasure, along with suggestions for alternative positions that offer a more relaxed approach. Throughout this guide, we emphasize the importance of open communication, mutual respect, and consent to create a safe and enjoyable intimate experience for both partners.

Whether you’re looking to spice things up or deepen your connection, this guide offers valuable insights to enhance your intimate life.
