Virtual Domination with Papaya Day Truly

March 17, 2020 06:59 - 55 minutes - 76.6 MB

Everything is about sex. Except sex. Sex is about power. And this applies particularly so to the erotic art of BDSM, an ancient realm of knowledge from which the feminine archetype of the dominatrix is born. Otherwise known as a domme, she enjoys taking control and how to wield her psycho-sexual power. In this episode, we talk to Papaya Day Truly, a modern domme based in Hawaii. Papaya Day Truly offers digital domination (or virtual domination) to men who want to improve the quality of the...

37: Good Hard Fun with Fine Bone

August 08, 2018 05:06 - 58 minutes - 80.9 MB

With a litany of erotic accoutrements to pique our fascination and adventurous side, we're spoiled for choice now more than ever.

To create the perfect porcelain dildo for everyone with a vagina. After sampling several prototypes and asking friends to test-drive each, Prudence was born – a body safe, porcelain dildo th...

36: Five books to love or hate this season

July 25, 2018 01:06 - 25 minutes - 34.8 MB

Aside from filling my brain with audio material to expand my love and sex life, books are my favourite source of knowledge. So in this solo episode of All We Cannot Say, I decided to review a handful of books that have impacted my beliefs in the past year.   In this episode, I talk about:   Your chance to win $100! Simply complete the audience survey to go in the draw. Temporarily Yours by Elizabeth Bernstein – a great intro to the politics of modern sex work. Becoming Wise by Krista T...

35: How to foster empathy for more meaningful conversations with Kate Kenfield

July 03, 2018 12:06 - 1 hour - 87.1 MB

We’re often taught that listening is the key to a meaningful, expansive conversation. But I’d like to extend our emotional skillset further – empathy is the key to connection and richer relationships. Yet isn’t empathy something that’s we’re intrinsically inclined to do? Aren't we taught how to show empathy through lived experience? Not necessarily so. In fact, empathy is a skill that must be mastered and cultivated, much like learning an instrument. This is where Kate Kenfield’s work b...

34: Tantra for the rest of us with Sarrah Rose

June 20, 2018 07:47 - 58 minutes - 80.7 MB

Tantra is an ancient art that conjures up a whole range of descriptions. And as an ancient art, for some its application and meaning is not so easy to grasp. So what is Tantra? After 2 years of debating whether I was ready to explore Tantra on this podcast, Sarrah Rose reached out to me on Instagram. With an accessible approach to the esoteric practice, Sarrah Rose makes Tantra easy for the rest of us (but by no means less powerful).  Confused about Tantra? Here’s a definition that you’l...

33: Becoming cliterate with Dr Laurie Mintz

May 17, 2018 05:18 - 54 minutes - 50.2 MB

I'm thankful to live in a time and place where progressive thinking and equality are celebrated. Do you feel the same way? If you do, you might be just as eager to embrace Becoming Cliterate (2017, HarperOne) with both hands (or just one, if you catch my drift). Dr Laurie Mintz created this resource for people everywhere with clitorises – and those who love them – to fully embrace their orgasmic potential. Because with straight, cis-gendered women receiving the least orgasms, it seems we as...

32: Imagining Equality with GiGi Engle

May 09, 2018 04:37 - 53 minutes - 49 MB

I believe in using your voice and tiny lived experienced for endless creation. And so does Gigi Engle, All We Cannot Say alumni, writer and professional sex educator. It takes a grand supply of chutzpah to be vocal AND heard on the internet, and with the force of her words and audacious attitude, Gigi makes herself heard as a woman standing up for all women. Haven’t heard of her? It’s a hard moment in our culture to pay attention to anyone with reverence, yet seldom is there someone as noi...

31: Let Us Survive with Liara Roux

May 09, 2018 04:32 - 48 minutes - 44.8 MB

On April 11, Trump signed into law two new bills that sex workers say will literally kill them. The bills - Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act (FOSTA) and Stop Enabling Sex Trafficking Act (SESTA) makes websites liable for the content they publish. This means that many online services - that host adult content are now taking down user websites and user accounts to avoid legal action. Many online activists - primarily consensual sex workers - have criticised the bill for attacking freedom of ...

30: Thriving in Sex Work with Lola Davina

December 22, 2017 07:42 - 1 hour - 91.3 MB

This particular episode comes at a time when it’s essential to talk about the experiences of sex workers. In the past week, not only was December 17 international day to end violence against sex workers, but December 19 also marked one year since exotic dancer Stacey Tierney died. Stacey's body was found at Dreams Gentlemen’s Club in Melbourne, 12 hours after she was seen partying with several patrons. Her death is believed to be caused by a drug overdose, but no confirmation of this has bee...

28: Is ethical porn a fantasy or the future of adult entertainment?

November 15, 2017 00:07 - 48 minutes - 67.3 MB

Have you ever stopped to think about where your porn comes from, or if porn actors receive fair pay? These aren’t generally pressing questions for the average porn consumer as they scroll through their search results for a 5-minute clip. But as with all parts of consumer culture, it’s important for us to think about how we can support higher and more ethical production standards. Euphemia Russell is a pleasure and sexuality educator in Melbourne. In this episode, we spoke to her about the s...

27: Deciphering the elusive female libido with Lauren White

26: Why You Chose the Wrong Person

October 15, 2017 23:58 - 10 minutes - 14.9 MB

It's easy to discount our behaviours as instinctive and unshakeable. The way we think and act is often perplexing, even when we’re at our most self-aware. But what we might not be aware of is that there are different systems for thinking and acting, and with the right tools and mindset, we can learn how to manipulate these systems. The result? More self-control, self-awareness, and the ability to change your life. In this minisode, we’re delving into behavioural psychology, how our unconscio...

25: Being Honest with Peter C. Hayward

October 01, 2017 19:41 - 43 minutes - 39.5 MB

Can you truly be friends with a previous partner? This is a question we’ve explored previously on the blog and on the podcast. But what readers and listeners might not be aware of is that All We Cannot Say is inspired by an honest conversation between two exes who achieved what many set out to do, but fail: friendship without borders. Board game designer Peter C. Hayward  and artist Honour Eastly (otherwise known as SJ) co-host Being Honest With My Ex, a podcast that explores what happens w...

24: The Sex Myth with Rachel Hills

August 02, 2017 02:37 - 54 minutes - 49.5 MB

Rachel Hills is the author of The Sex Myth, a highly accessible but nonetheless meaty piece of new non-fictional feminist literature. So what exactly is the sex myth? If you’ve ever been burdened by societal rules on ladylike behaviour, you’ll understand the pervasive sense that your sexual appetite might not fit the norm. Is everyone having sex but you? Or perhaps you feel shamed for your casual encounters? It’s been fifty years since the sexual revolution, yes, but there’s a new power at ...

23: Sex positive education for teens with Row Murray

July 19, 2017 02:45 - 1 hour - 55.2 MB

Many of us believe that teen sexuality is something to be avoided and shamed – and that if we’re to be responsible parents, sisters and brothers, it’s also something we need to do our best to prevent from happening. There are a lot of reasons for this view. One is that STIs are higher than they ever were before. But is this because sex, in and of itself, is to blame? According to the Huffington Post, children get their education from porn at as young as 11 years of age. This means that kid...

22: Manhood and mental health with James Ferne

July 19, 2017 02:43 - 49 minutes - 45.6 MB

Men, on average, die five years younger than women, and researchers believe that a big part of that gap is about social isolation. In other words, men are dying before women, to some extent, due to a lack of support amongst men themselves. It’s also true that there’s a tendency for men to avoid seeking care for depression and our cultural norms discourage men from seeking help for mental illness. In the interest of discussing these alarming statistics from someone with more experiential wi...

21: Should you break up? with Meg Luscombe

July 19, 2017 02:42 - 59 minutes - 54.5 MB

Once a couple's Oxytocin rollercoaster comes to a grinding halt, they face a plethora of romantic and personal dilemmas. Whereas once you might have let conflicting values and certain behaviours slide throughout your honeymoon period, you might begin to question your future together once the rosey hue of new love has faded. The question is: should you break up? In this episode, we speak to fellow podcaster Meg Luscombe. She is a Melbourne-based life and relationship expert who facilitates ...

May 08, 2017 20:39 - 55 minutes - 75.8 MB

Whether that's a fear of...

19: Modern masculinity with Alex White

April 23, 2017 21:37 - 1 hour - 122 MB

In 2017, there’s never been a better time to rally for social change, both on a micro and macro level. It's why All We Cannot Say exists - to challenge our perceptions of love and sexuality, and to help readers and listeners enhance their EQ. Yet with identity politics and conflict at the fore of our cultural consciousness, we're discovering the future is uncertain for equality. It begs the question: what does this mean for our notions of gender and sexuality? Do we need a new definition of ...

18: Conscious Dating with Kaila Perusco

April 09, 2017 21:38 - 53 minutes - 72.8 MB

You know how the story goes. Boy swipes right. Girl swipes right. Boy and girl meet. Boy and girl date, ghost, and repeat. It’s a modern love story, no? If you’re feeling defeated and romantically stifled, there is a better way to date. If you've become apathetic with the prospect of meeting a genuine soul to connect with, conscious dating is for you.  Conscious Dating is not altogether a new concept. But thanks to individuals like Kaila Perusco, it’s an approach to dating that’s bec...

17: What it feels like for a girl

March 26, 2017 19:00 - 1 hour - 90 MB

Last year I found a group of women online who not only focus on promoting their professional identities, but simultaneously (and perhaps not intentionally), work to remove the shame and stigma of erotic labour. There’s room for selfies, humour, friendship and sharing values, and we’re invited to watch and participate. It’s a world that’s open to the general public, and the ease in which you can find these communities makes them easy to access. So, I reached out to a few and heard crickets. ...

16: Life of a sex columnist with Gigi Engle

March 13, 2017 01:21 - 53 minutes - 49 MB

Being a professional sex columnist is a trope that often brings up allusions to a certain curly-haired dame with an extensive shoe collection. Cigarette dangling from her mouth, she breaths out disdain for the trail of hearts and emotional debris left in her wake, as she types her prophecy into the internet universe.   But it’s 2017, and with our sexual openness, WIFI connections and the added layer of complexity that online dating brings to relationships, we need a new breed of guru. Some...

15: Dating with depression and anxiety

February 26, 2017 23:32 - 1 hour - 118 MB

There’s a tendency to overdramatise and often romanticise depression and anxiety. A whole litany of tropes spring to mind - the tortured artist, the mysterious girl with sad eyes, the neurotic genius. But mental health is far from glamorous, and I would argue, far form being a big deal. Everyone experiences moments of despair and extreme stress, but when it comes to clinical depression and anxiety, these add another layer of complexity to the already confusing world of dating. In this epis...

14: Future of Sex with Bryony Cole

February 12, 2017 19:06 - 46 minutes - 105 MB

13: Disability and Sexuality with Kirsten Schultz

January 30, 2017 14:28 - 1 hour - 171 MB

Sexuality and disability are two subjects that Kirsten Schultz explores on her blog Chronicsex.org. Growing up with multiple illnesses, Kirsten had to navigate her sexuality in a world that had very little online resources for those with disabilities. Today, she creates safe spaces both online and offline for others to educate themselves, self-reveal, and find validation outside of an ableist mindset.

12: Vulvodynia Treatment with Hope Kramer

January 29, 2017 13:00 - 58 minutes - 133 MB

Experiencing pain during sex? It’s not just you - it might be vulvodynia. Chronic vulval pain is not something that’s so easily diagnosed, and in fact, many women don’t even realise they have it. But through searching forums online, Hope Kramer learned how to heal herself after Western Medicine failed to find a cure. As the founder of the Sex Book Club in Sydney, Hope is on a mission to promote awareness of this debilitating syndrome, and encourage women to openly embrace their sexuality an...

11: The Future Of Marriage with Erik Newton

January 29, 2017 13:00 - 1 hour - 211 MB

Do 50% of all marriage really end in divorce? Is the marriage rate up, or is it down? It seems that the world is more and more confused about marriage now than ever before. Here’s what we do know - the average for marriage has risen from 18 to late 20s/early 30s, and Australians now favour long-term de factor relationships over exchanging rings. And it’s the same for Americans too, with roughly 25% of US millennials taking a stroll down the aisle, according to research from the Pew Research...

November 20, 2016 14:47 - 1 hour - 84.9 MB

Here’s a startling and lesser known fact: bisexuals endure the worst mental health problems of anyone based on their sexuality. We’re prone to higher rates of depression, anxiety, self-harm and suicidal thoughts, according to a 2012 report. All of this is distinct from homophobia, because a large amount of this prejudice comes from the rest of the rainbow community. In Episode 9, James Dominguez of the Bisexual Alliance Victoria talks to us about navigating your sexuality in a world that lov...
