Sex Ed Debunked: Breaking Norms and Taking Sabbatical
<p>As we hit the pause button on Sex Ed Debunked, a wave of nostalgia washes over us—Shannon's about to tie the knot, and Christine is diving headfirst into academia. It's been an epic journey of myth-shattering and sexual empowerment, from an AASECT award to a whopping 20,000 downloads, and we couldn't be more grateful. Celebrate with us one last time before our sabbatical as we crush the myth of "normal" sexuality and champion the spectrum of positive sexual experiences. It's not a farewell, but a promise to return with even more eye-opening conversations.<br/><br/>Throughout our series, we've ignited discussions on everything from sexual response to polyamory, sparking shifts in societal norms and challenging stereotypes. Dorothy Colvon and Dr. Cailey graced us with their insights, reminding us of the power in conversations that push boundaries and redefine expectations. We've become a springboard for dialogue that doesn't shy away from any topic—because when it comes to sexuality, every voice matters. As we step back to celebrate personal milestones, carry forward the spirit of our discussions and keep the dialogue alive in your own circles.<br/><br/>We owe a universe of thanks to our extraordinary volunteers—Meghan, Bella, Shaina, and Ezra—whose contributions have been critical to our success. Their dedication and the enlightening energy of our guests have allowed us to foster an inclusive approach to sex education that honors the evolving nature of sexuality and gender identities. So, while we take a break to recharge and focus on personal endeavors, remember that the journey of discovery and growth continues. Keep exploring, challenging norms, and breaking down barriers. We'll be back before you know it, ready to debunk more myths and share more wisdom. Keep the spirit of 'Sex Ed Debunked' thriving!<br/><br/></p><p>Follow us on social @sexeddebunked or send us a message at sexeddebunked@gmail.com </p>

Myth #63: Attachment Styles End in Childhood
<p>Imagine if your childhood attachment styles were echoing in your adult relationships - intriguing thought, isn't it? Join us, Christine and Shannon Curley, as we demystify the world of attachment styles and reveal how they're not just confined to your early years. We're cracking open the research, and we promise you'll understand why Gen Z seems to be gravitating towards insecure attachment styles and why it's a trend worth noting.<br/><br/>We're going to navigate the terrain of four primary attachment styles - secure, anxious, avoidant dismissive, and avoidant fearful. We'll show you how these styles are formed during the early years and how they intricately weave into your adult relationships. Equipped with this knowledge, we bet you'll encounter some aha moments regarding your relationship patterns. And if you're curious about what an "insecure attachment style" means, we've got you covered. We also dissect the avoidant fearful style, highlighting the paradox of craving a relationship while being scared of getting hurt.<br/><br/>Ever thought about the impact of your attachment style on your behaviors and communication? We’re throwing light on that too! We stand by the importance of humility and adaptability in communication and believe firmly that it's possible to rise above your attachment style. As we prepare for the holiday season, remember to embrace grace and lean on your secure networks. And yes, we're also debunking myths surrounding sex and sexuality and stressing the necessity of inclusivity in our understanding. So let's challenge conventional wisdom, expand our horizons, and create healthier, more fulfilling relationships. This is going to be a journey of self-discovery you wouldn't want to miss!</p><p>Follow us on social @sexeddebunked or send us a message at sexeddebunked@gmail.com </p>

Study Session #23: What's Trending in Sex Research?
<p>We're rolling up our sleeves and taking a deep-dive into the turbulent world of sex education in today's episode. With insights right from the frontline of the Society for the Scientific Study of Sexuality conference, we're tackling the shocking rise in rough sex, heavily influenced by internet pornography and social media. We share some staggering statistics and discuss these distressing trends with our esteemed guest, researcher Dr. Renee Rena Evans Paulson. She highlights the pivotal role of critical media literacy as a safeguard, stressing the need for open dialogues with young individuals about their digital consumption.<br/><br/>Switching gears, we shift focus to the importance of comprehensive sex education and its much-needed societal adoption. Remember GPT-3? We're exploring its potential footprint in sex education, celebrating some successful initiatives like Rhode Island's Department of Health's comprehensive sex ed app, and dissecting a study that reveals the overestimation of sexual health knowledge among college students. Our key takeaway? Comprehensive sex education is not just an option; it's a necessity to bridge the knowledge gap and promote safer sexual behaviors. Join us as we champion the power of research evidence and its crucial role in advocating for comprehensive sex education to policymakers. Tune in, get informed, and help us rewrite the narrative.</p><p>Follow us on social @sexeddebunked or send us a message at sexeddebunked@gmail.com </p>
