 EP 62 - Sex Trafficking - Level Two | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:08:13

Welcome back to Six Minute Sex Ed, the podcast that helps people talk about sex, relationships, and growing up. Created and hosted by Sex Education Teacher Kim Cavill. Find her at www.teaandintimacy.com - https://twitter.com/sexposparenting - https://www.instagram.com/sixminutesexed/ This week’s episode is level two, making it perfect for tweens, teens, and adults. We’re going to talk about sex trafficking. We’re going to answer five questions about sex trafficking 1. What is sex trafficking? 2. How big of a problem is it? 3. What should I do if I feel exploited or unsafe? 4. How do I find more information? 5. What can I do to fight human trafficking? What should I do if I feel unsafe or if someone is forcing me to do something I don’t want to do? No one should ever be forced to have sex. Ever. Sex should always be a choice. No one should be forced to choose between having sex and having a place to live. No one should be forced to choose between having sex and getting or keeping a job. No one should be forced to choose between having sex and going hungry. Forcing or tricking someone into sex is wrong. If that has happened or is happening to you, the most important thing to know is that it is wrong and it is not your fault. If you can, tell someone you trust and ask them for help. Depending on where you live and how you feel, you can tell community helpers like teachers, social workers, doctors, nurses, fireman, or the police. If you don’t feel safe enough to tell anyone you know, you can call the national human trafficking hotline, or use their online chat. Links to both are in the show notes.

 EP 60 - How to talk to kids about stress - Level One | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:08:04

Welcome back to Six Minute Sex Ed, the podcast that helps people talk about sex, relationships, and growing up. Created and hosted by Sex Education Teacher Kim Cavill. Find her at www.teaandintimacy.com - https://twitter.com/sexposparenting - https://www.instagram.com/sixminutesexed/ This week’s episode is level one, making it perfect for listeners of any age, and we’re going to talk about stress. We’ll answer five questions: What is stress? What does stress do to your body? What does stress do to your brain? Why do we feel stress? How can we feel better? Stress is what we feel when we worry about something, feel uncomfortable, or get overwhelmed. Kids have been feeling more and more stressed every year even before Covid 19, but Covid 19 has made that stress a lot worse. Kids aren’t just feeling normal stresses, either, like getting butterflies before a big test or nerves before a big game. Kids are feeling traumatic stresses about school, being kept from their friends or other people they care about, sick family members, and family traumas. Listen to this episode with the kids you care about and start an important conversation about the types of stress and stress relief today.

 EP 59 - How to talk to people about face masks - Level Two | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:10:30

Welcome back to Six Minute Sex Ed, the podcast that helps people talk about sex, relationships, and growing up. Created and hosted by Sex Education Teacher Kim Cavill. Find her at www.teaandintimacy.com - https://twitter.com/sexposparenting - https://www.instagram.com/sixminutesexed/ This week’s episode is level two, making it perfect for tweens, teens, and adults. We are going to learn how to talk to people about wearing masks. Theme song is "This Year" by the Mountain Goats What does wearing masks have to do with sex education, you might ask? The answer is, a lot! Effectively talking to people about the importance of wearing masks is a lot like talking to people about the importance of using STI protection, like condoms, or birth control, like the pill. Masks, condoms, and the pill are all protective measures that reduce the risk of infection. The principles of public health can help us to educate one another about how to reduce risk in our communities. Public health is the science of preventing disease and promoting health through influencing the choices we make both collectively and individually. We know effective public health messages are non-judgmental, easy to understand, consistent, and connected to the communities they target. Ineffective public health messages are fear based, complicated, inconsistent, and irrelevant to the communities they target. When we as individuals try to influence people we care about to comply with protective measures, whether it’s STI testing, condom use, or wearing a face mask, it’s important remember to be non-judgmental, easy to understand, consistent in what we say and do, and connected to the person we’re speaking to. We also need to remember we are entitled to our boundaries and setting boundaries with the people we care about. Setting and maintaining boundaries is a central part of healthy relationships.

 EP 55 - Change the way you think about HIV - Level Two | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:09:32

Find her at www.teaandintimacy.com - https://twitter.com/sexposparenting - https://www.instagram.com/sixminutesexed/ This week’s episode is Level Two, making it perfect for tweens, teens, and adults.

Gillead made 3 billion dollars in profit off PrEP in 2018. Gilead is going to charge $3200 for Redesivire, even for people with private insurance. If remdesivir were sold at the cost of production, it would cost $10, not $3,120. This is Gilead’s business model: take a drug developed largely with taxpayer funds, get an exclusive patent on production from the US government, then charge obscene amounts of money for it. That creates a viral loaded class of people who need the drug, the majority of which are black and brown. Our federal government could solve both these problems tomorrow. Legally, they could be be co-owners of the patents for both drugs and could execute what’s called “March in orders” and seize the patents. They could immediately allow for generic manufacturing of both drugs, increasing the accessibility of the treatment and driving down the price. But the government does nothing. On a global scale, accessible PrEP, combined with the right public policies could end HIV, just like we ended Polio. But we don’t.  We don’t. That’s why every time a young person asks me, “Why don’t we have a cure for AIDS?” I think of Jeff McConnell, the HIV positive sociologist who died in 2014 and his question to his friend, Dr. Grant, “If we discovered a way to end the HIV epidemic, would we?” I think of him because the answer, so far, is no.

 EP 53 - What are nipples for? - Level One | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:05:43

Welcome back to Six Minute Sex Ed, the podcast that helps people talk about sex, relationships, and growing up. Created and hosted by Sex Education Teacher Kim Cavill. Find her at www.teaandintimacy.com - https://twitter.com/sexposparenting - https://www.instagram.com/sixminutesexed/ This week’s episode is level one, making it perfect for listeners of any age. Today, we’re going to answer the question, “Why do people have nipples?” Resources for adults: https://www.healthline.com/health/mens-health/why-do-men-have-nipples#other-conditions-to-watch-for https://www.livescience.com/32467-why-do-men-have-nipples.html What are nipples? Nipples are small bits of flesh that stick out from the breast tissue, which is found on the chest in humans. Typically, most humans have two nipples, though 1 in 18 people have more than two. Nipples aren’t all the same, either. Nipples can be flat, inverted, protruding, multiple, or divided. Who has nipples? All human beings have nipples because of the way human beings develop. Think of it like this: we all start out as gender-neutral and 6 - 7 weeks into our development, when we’re about the size of a sweet pea, for some of us, something called a Y chromosome creates changes that make testicles develop and others experience changes that make breast development different. Animation of human development at 6 weeks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lo08MuZJgEk Gorillas breastfeeding: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IlGZ1QY3_uI Manatees breastfeeding: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0SNfRFp3iA Why do people have nipples? Nipples do a few different things. One of the most important things they do is feeding breastmilk to babies. When babies are first born, they don’t have the teeth to eat pizza or broccoli like you do. They need breastmilk or formula in order to survive until they are big enough to eat other foods. Special glands called lobules inside breasts produce breastmilk. Those lobules connect to ducts, or tiny little tubes which move the milk from the glad to the nipple, where the breastmilk comes out. Babies can suckle the breastmilk out and so can machines called breast pumps. Humans breastfeeding: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2f6fWo0kVQ How to people take care of their nipples? Nipples are sensitive, so it’s important to be gentle with them. They can be washed with soap and water, just like other body parts, and it’s important for adults to gently feel their breasts and nipples once a month to look out for any changes in the way they look for feel because those changes can be a sign to see the doctor and get a checkup.
