On episode 107 sex blogger Lizet (aka @SexologyBae) tells us about how she unlearned the sexual shame instilled in her from her Southern Christian upbringing. She describes teenage purity ceremonies she attended, how being taught to value virginity above all else negatively impacted her developing sexuality, and the consequences of religious oppression not only on her own life but on society as a whole. We also get into political and cultural stereotypes about the south, how people with marginalized identities can unknowingly replicate and reinforce oppression, unpacking privilege, and what all of those things have to do with sex and sexuality. Lizet also kicks off a pleasure product giveaway on her blog for American Sex listeners.

Lizet, better known to the internet as Sexology Bae, is a sexuality writer, Social Work Master’s student, and fur mom born and raised in Louisiana and currently living in Houston, Texas. The idea for Sexology Bae was formed during her own mental, spiritual, and emotional journey to unlearn the stigma and shame around sex and pleasure that comes with a Southern Christian upbringing.
