Sex Ed Before Bed explores powerful and meaningful topics that often go undiscussed in our daily lives. In bringing these conversations into the open, my intention is that collectively, we can approach them with less shame and more compassion, giving them the nuance that they often require. As part of a small cadre of Canadian podcasts focused on this topic, with over 8,000 listeners, Sex Ed Before Bed’s growing fan base signals a rising interest in sexual health and politics. Since 2017, guests have included experts and folks with lived experience, including sex workers, 2SLGBTQIA+ folks, researchers, educators, psychotherapists, physicians and program facilitators. Sex-positivity, anti-oppression frameworks inform the podcast and the tone is one of humility and curiosity. I aim to bring what I have learned and my experiences to the mic and understand that sexual health education is a lifelong learning experience for me, and for all of us. I don’t have all the answers and I see myself as “along for the ride” with the listener, grateful for the stories, wisdom and insight of my wonderful guests. What I want to give listeners through this experience: ● To have more informed, joyful, liberating sexual experiences ● To see a topic or marginalized group in a new light ● To unlearn harmful stereotypes and cultivate more empathy ● To be aware of timely sex-related Canadian research and news

On this episode, I partner with Vanessa and Maggie, hosts of 21 Questions, to speak with revered sex therapist and social worker, Angie Gunn.
Angie addresses our questions about polyamory, also known as consensual non-monogamy, ripping apart misconceptions about people who practice it and how they practice it. She also shares the dramatic life events that led her to this profession and lifestyle.
Hear tidbits on:
- the myriad ways consensual non-monogamy is practiced
- the discrimination polyamorists face
- establishing what you need from a relationship and how to set boundaries
- control and ownership in monogamous culture
- poly culture as primarily white and middle class
- how monogamous folk can be kinder to the poly community
