Sex Ed Speakeasy

10 episodes - English - Latest episode: about 2 years ago -

Starting in October 2021, Angel Russell (COO) and Steven Russell (Head of Production) are launching Sex Ed Speakeasy. Let’s drink and talk about sex! During Prohibition in the 1920’s and 1930’s, people had to whisper special codes to get into backdoor establishments to drink and dance. This kind of establishment became known as a Speakeasy. As we enter the 2020’s, we’re seeing an entirely different type of prohibition emerge: a prohibition on any content deemed sexual in nature, including sex education. Sex Ed Speakeasy will take a fun look at the history of sex and sex education and the impacts that history has on us today. We also have two mixologists who will be helping us choose a featured cocktail for each episode.

After a bit of a hiatus we are back in full force with our sponsor ONE Condoms to talk about the history of….well, condoms! It’s a little out of order and the main episode sounds a bit wonky because we were recording as Steve was actively getting tattooed. But don’t sleep on Aperitifs with Aaron as it goes hilariously off the rails! This episode’s drink is The Busted Rubber! Don’t drink it! 1/3 Raspberry Liqueur 1/3 Irish Cream 1/3 Orange Liquer I’m not putting how much of each, it sho...

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!  The pilgrims were murderers and turkey tastes like napkins.   Speaking of pilgrims, you know the puritans hated sex, right?  Well you’re wrong!  I mean, you’re also right, but still wrong!  Turns out they were all about having sex, as long as it was for God.  So strap on into the tryptophan-mobile as we look at how the puritans had sex.   This episode’s cocktail is the Hot Toddy!   The weather is getting chilly, so warm yourself up with this delicious wint...

November 16, 2021 17:22 - 1 hour - 144 MB

It’s the Kama Sutra!  In this episode we dive deep into the infamous text, and I think somehow forget to talk about the sex parts.  Turns out that’s just a small part of the book!  We also talk about the upcoming Tickle.Life project, Carnal Chemistry, an exciting NFT project where a group of international artists draw some of their favorite positions from the Kama Sutra.   Find out more information about Carnal Chemistry at   carnalchemistry.xyz   This episode’s drink is the Gin & Toni...

3 - Halloween

October 28, 2021 22:32 - 1 hour - 149 MB

It’s Halloween!  In this episode we’ll look at the shocking origins of the chainsaw itself.  While its uses today are relegated to cutting wood and for chasing sex charged co-eds who found themselves off the main roads, its origins can be traced back to 18th century operating rooms, where it used for all kind of bodily excisions.  We’ll also take a look in some other spooky dark corners of sexual history.   This episode's drink is The Corpse Reviver #2!   Absinthe, to rinse 3/4 ounce Lo...

It’s our first episode!  Today we’re talking about the handkerchief code, the practice popularized in the 1970s where gay men in the kink and fetish communities could signal to each other what activities they were into by wearing handkerchiefs of different colors out of the back pockets.  We also spend way too long talking about HBO’s Deadwood and the Mandela Effect.   -------------------------------------------------- This episode’s signature cocktail is the Harvey Wallbanger!   3oz Vo...
