Sex Without Fear

Amberadical

This is Sex Without Fear, the podcast where we talk about sex, society, and everything in between! I'm Amberadical, and I'm a trauma informed birth worker in Northern California. This podcast began with my childhood sexual trauma set in a conservative bible belt during the satanic panic, and ends up somewhere around age 30 finding healing through atheism, feminism, and sexual liberation.

What are we still trying to study? What communities aren't being heard? Why is that one rapper obsessed with his daughters hymen? Why don't we have a statue of Lorena Bobbitt? Who is lilith, and whyyyyy was she not given to me as a young girl? How do we help maternal death in our country and around the world? What really are pedophiles and how are we supposed to be handling this?

SWF True Crime Episode

SWF True Crime Episode

Todays episode to start off the new year is a little different. For one, I apologize for the HORRIBLE AUDIO. Something happened that wasn't obvious until after recording and in the editing process. I swear this wont happen so badly again. Haha. Anyways, I'm pretty well known for having a few wild ride stories up my sleeve, and this is one of them. This may not feel relevant to the podcast until the end, so ride it out all the way! This was your guys number 1 vote on instagram of 2024's first episode, and with all the talk about Natalia Grace and Gypsy Rose, it feels timely!

My Afternoon with Stanley Thorton: Adult Baby

My Afternoon with Stanley Thorton: Adult Baby

Years ago I sat down with TLC & National Geographic's celebrity Adult Baby, Stanley Thorton who experienced his 15 minutes of fame and months of fraud investigation. I took a while to come back to this and formulate some thoughts on what this visit meant to me and what I took from it all. This is a shorter episode but I cover a lot and you will probably leave with very different thoughts than what assumptions you came in with.Happy Holidays listeners! Support the show

La Vie Boheme: Ginko Returns!

La Vie Boheme: Ginko Returns!

You asked for Ginko to return with a life update, and here it is, just in time to wish them a Happy Birthday today! If you haven't heard Ginko's first interview from two years ago, scroll back to find the episode titled "La Vie Boheme" to hear about how their trans art was censored in our art community, so that you can enjoy today's episode all about how they've found their place by creating their own space, holding events, and falling in love with their own trans journey. We were flying by the seat of our pants for this episode and we focused more on quality friend time than quality sound or script, and you hear it. But sometimes, you just need to hear two friends have a conversation about sexuality over bottled water and baby snacks and occasionally a dog drinking water in the back ground, a football game I can't escape from the other room, and a baby who doesn't let me leave his sight!Support the show

Today you're going to hear from the side that wants to stop Moms 4 Liberty from infiltrating their panic into our school systems.

This has been a national issue for a while, and we do our best to break down the chain of events that have gotten us to where we are now, and the best ways you can help from where you are!Support the show

Like everyone, I dressed in pink and headed to the theatre to watch this summer's biggest hit: Barbie. This isn't so much a movie review as it is a memoir of my relationship with barbie and my own expression of womanhood. Enjoy this little piece of me on my birthday! Happy birthday to me! And thank you to everyone who has stuck around this long, even for episodes like this where it's just me on the mic with my own thoughts thinking to myself there's no way anyone wants to hear about my internal dialouges and thoughts that keep me awake at night.Message me on instagram @sexwithoutfear to tell me about your relationship with barbie and your own gender identity!Support the show

Sound Of Freedom: Human Trafficking Specialist Jenny Davidson

Sound Of Freedom: Human Trafficking Specialist Jenny Davidson

From Sound of Freedom, to Wayfair, to Epstein, to Qanon, what is all this about human trafficking? It can be so confusing to navigate this huge topic, and filter out media hype and misrepresentations. I brought on Jenny Davidson to school us on the ins and outs of sex trafficking, human trafficking, domestic violence, and sexual assault topics, so that hopefully anyone who wants to help "save the children" will know exactly how to do that. Jenny has worked as a domestic violence and human trafficking specialist for decades. Her work spans from opening and expanding shelter, to trafficking prevention, and has even spent time doing stings and catching the real life bad guys. No one knows this topic better than her, so I've entrusted her to teach my listeners here everything from the signs of trafficking to how to prevent it from happening in your own neighborhoods.Support the show

Troubled Teen Industry Victims Part 2

Troubled Teen Industry Victims Part 2

If you did not listen to part 1, please start there!A christian boarding school near my hometown hit the news a few times before eventually being shut down. A buzzfeed article came out with some pretty gnarly accusations about gay conversion therapy, forcing them to eat only peanut butter for weeks and months at a time, and more. I had to get to the bottom of this since no one else was talking about it. I brought two victims on from different years of attendance to tell their stories. Here is victim 2 who attended during their shut down and move to texas. Again, this has a big fat trigger warning of all kinds for these episodes. You will hear of all kinds of horrific things.Support the show
