In this episode, our hosts interview  three members of the Minnesota LGBTQIA+/Queer community: Logan Sand, a certified sexologist, Lark Lekat, a sex educator and sex worker, and Carise Roatch, a Marriage and Family Therapist who works from a sex positive theoretical background. We discuss healthy relationships, body positivity, and how to use sex to help us find confidence and comfort in our queer identities. Co-hosted by Xochitl and Elle, we hope you listen in to gain a better understanding on the intersections of sex and queer identity.

Listeners will learn...

• How to identify the role sex plays within their lives
• About relationships between sex and gender/sexual identity
• How non-inclusive sexual education is within schools in past years 
• That sex isn’t something to be ashamed of
• The importance of knowing your sexual health status and how to communicate that with a partner
• That society has made a predetermined “script” for sex and how it’s suppose to look like
• That in order to advocate for your body's needs, knowing what brings you pleasure by yourself is super important before participating in a sexual act
• The ways mental health can impact decision making when it comes to sexual activity.
• How sexual trauma can affect the stability of the individual.
• And finally, how sex can be used for healing
