ST 8 - Dancing with your Shadow

Summary: Long Title: Dancing with your Shadow; Fantasy, Reality and points in between In this episode, I am joined by Dr. Michael Aaron, author of the up-coming book, Modern Sexuality: The Truth About Sex and Relationships to talk about sexual fantasies and our shadow self. This episode will be all about fantasies … where the hell do our sexual predilections come from? When and how do we bring some of them into reality? Or, should we should be actualizing that dark idea at all? We will discuss normativity, overcoming social shame and what the Mental Health Bible (The DSM 5) says about being a sick fucker. We will also be talking about his up-coming book, which is due to hit bookstores on October 16th. (It is available for pre-order now). I had the opportunity to read an ARC (Advance Reading Copy) of the book and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It explores the history of sexual oppression and the science of sexuality, with the goal of aiding his readers to overcome the shame that is often associated with having an alternative sexual identity. He blends scientific and anecdotal evidence in accessible (lay-person) language coupled with concrete, up-to-date, information to help readers open themselves to their authentic sexual selves.
