Buckle Up and Strap On

(Season 2 | Episode 53)

Two Sex Educators, One Goal – Give Us All The Opportunity to Expand Our Sexual Horizons

[Tessa] Meet Reid and Allison, a lovely, if unlikely, couple. An avowed lesbian, Allison fell for Reid. A sex-positive man with a lot of exploring to do falls for Allison. That was 15 years ago. Now they each have well-developed sex counseling practices, books, media, groups… education for those who are interesting in developing their approach to sex and intimacy in the third act of life.

This is an interview that deals quite frankly with sex and topics like pegging. Please put on the earbuds while consuming this one. That said we’re not probing (pun intended) into the world of alternative sex to be sensational or salacious. Rather we are here to open a few doors for our audience. Allison and Reid prove to us all that you can have a fun, lighthearted, and incredibly informative conversation about sexual pursuits and pleasures without devolving into eroticism for its own sake.

This is a meaningful interview that will be of great value to at least some of our listeners… of that we are certain.
