In today's episode, Christina Meneses joins us. She is a representative from the YWCA and we cover how sexual health and disability intersect. In her work, she advocates for people with disabilities to have happy, healthy sex lives.
Christina has worked in the field of abuse prevention for more than 20 years. She spent much of that time doing traditional abuse prevention presentations in the St. Louis area. In the last 5 years with SHADE she has provided relationship and sexuality education to individuals with disabilities, agencies that they might encounter, and parents and guardians.

Josh published a new blog, so in this episode Angela decided to pick his brain to find out more. It's titled The Android's Guide to Enslaving the Human Race, yet somehow it's autobiographical and from the point of view of an android. It covers everything from being raised by parents from a religious cult, trauma, and life as an introvert. Nothing can be simple with this guy... It's always androids, hell, and aliens from outerspace.
He already has three posts up, an intro to the blog that sort of explains the whole android thing, a guide to talking to humans for those with social anxiety, and a guide to not caring in the afterlife.
We also talk about Josh's upcoming novel, You're All Going to Hell: A Love Story, and he shares some of the terrible events of last year that inspired it. It's a comedy set in hell, filled with cannibals, an army of children building border walls, and a love triangle between two men and an anthropomorphic smartphone. Another one of those novels, am I right?
Check it out www.androidslavery.com at your own risk. You never know. You might be assimilated...

I’m going to lay down some truth here, people. Listen closely, especially the fellas. In your life, you may find yourself in a position of power or in a situation where someone is vulnerable to your actions. When you find yourself in this position, it’s important that you remember to do one thing: Don’t rape people. I know it’s easy to forget. We live busy lives, working long hours, spending time with family, and wasting so much more time bingeing Netflix episodes of Stranger Things, or spending hours and hours refreshing our Facebook feeds, hoping to get ahold of some of those juicy thumbs up. Or is it up thumbs? But among this busy life, you must find it in you to push through those urges to rape, coerce, or exploit vulnerable individuals into sexual situations. The damage you can do to another individual in such a situation can be life altering.
Recently, many prominent men in positions of celebrity or political power, including comedians such Louis C.K. and Al Franken, have been accused by large swathes of women of sexual misconduct and sexual assault. Just today, Al Franken announced his resignation from the Senate amid these sexual allegations. Come on, guys! It is important to know when you are in a position of power so that you may be more vigilant to not exploit that power. Many professions, such as prison guards, police, and medical professionals understand how much power they have over the individuals they work with and serve, and because of this knowledge they have codes of ethics and rules in their professions that give them guidelines on how NOT to exploit those individuals. Yes, we have to tell these professionals not to do it. We had to make it a rule for a reason.
Comedians have very few rules of the trade and many comedians are notorious for being rulebreakers when it comes to drugs and other taboo topics, but on this topic, they need to stand up and find it in their hearts to not rape people. They also should probably not kill people as well. No one likes to die. Which brings us to this week’s main topic: Death! While we do talk about the sexual misconduct of celebrities this episode, the main topic is about death from a legal standpoint and estate planning. Our guest Martha Burhardt, a lawyer, not only explains what a trust is, but she also shares some insight on how she deals with the taboo topic of death with her clients.
Next week, Dr. David J. Ley Ph.D. will be joining us to discuss the myth of sex addiction and Ethical Porn for Dicks. We're pretty excited to have him join us. He is a clinical psychologist and has been featured on Dr. Phil
As an aside, this is actually our sixtieth episode. We have been doing this podcast for over a year now. We have enjoyed having so many amazing guests and we look forward to having many more in the future. After next week's episode, we will be taking a break to rest and relax and enjoy the holidays. We hope to see you next week and again in the new year, 2018.

Columbia School of Law. Post-graduation she proceeded to a position
with Pension and Retirement Services. During that time she realized that

planning options and how they may impact the family’s future. Her goal
has become to fill the gap in knowledge that nearly all families find
intimidating and confusing so that they may protect their future.

Sex can be amazing, like a beautiful ballet, graceful and in perfect synchronicity.
Sex can be passionate, like a sensual tango of pushing and pulling, holding roses in your teeth while throwing your partner across the room (in a loving way).
Sex can also become a chore, like tap dancing, or like walking the dog or taking out the garbage, if the conditions are just right.
But the good news is that it's normal. Relationships go through different phases and outside factors and stressors can affect your relationship and sex life. You need to understand the dance to know when you or your partner are pulling away; that way you know when to embrace them even closer. Find out more in this week's episode of About Sex, with Sex Therapist Angela Skurtu and her husband Josh!
