Hello, relatives. Welcome to our sexy, sacred episode of all my relations where we get to talk about my favorite thing to do.

Let's talk about sex, baby.

Come on. Let's talk about you and me. Let's talk about all the good things and bad things.

I don't know the rest. I don't either.

Hi, everyone. It's Dr. Dr. Dezi and today we're going to continue our conversation with the phenomenal Geraldine King and Anishinaabe scholar who studies the ethics of intimacy,

ecoerotics and all things love and sex.

Deanna Diaz is also joining us, this dope comedian who will tell you a little more about later. Our last episode

we spoke with Geraldine about all our loving relations.

We got really deep into the way that love was disrupted by colonization, but we didn't really bring that over into the love and sex part.

So today we're going to be talking about Snaggan, T.P. Creepin, all of it.

We've wanted to do this episode for a long time because such a fundamental aspect of who we are as human beings, as animals.

It's central to our relationships and I feel like 90% of the conversations that Matika and I have are like about sex.

We're talking about this all the time, but because of Christianity and other colonizing forces, all of the isms, we don't talk about sex like we should.

There's so much shame that surrounds our conversations about sex, but as Geraldine reminds us, we've always been sexual beings and sex can be beautiful and healthy and natural.

And sex can be real sacred.

Oh, I don't know if I've had that kind. I'm trying to get that real sacred sex to you.

It's time for us to overcome this colonized way of thinking that makes us feel like sex should be taboo.

Of course, we too, us indigenous people are part of the sex positivity movement and it's good for us talking about sex brings so much laughter. It's good medicine.

It's healing absolutely and making jokes is an integral part about healthy conversations about sex.

And like we'll get into later, we have strong memories of our aunties, our uncles, our other can, even grandma's and grandpa's right, using humor to talk about sex, teasing left, right and center.

And often those types of jokes were sexual and it's meant to stir conversation, right, there's lessons in the humor.

And doing so, those conversations help to normalize what Christianity has deemed so inappropriate.
