For the 118th episode of Private Parts Unknown, host Courtney Kocak welcomes Gigi Engle, sex educator, soon-to-be sex therapist, and author of All the F*cking Mistakes: A Guide to Sex, Love, and Life. Today we’re doing a listener-requested episode. I got requests to cover praise kink and breeding kink, and I've been hearing a lot about both of them lately, so I invited Gigi Engle on the show to give us the 411. Gigi’s got bylines at top publications, and she’s really good at breaking this stuff down and unpacking the nuances, so she’s the perfect person to be our guide as we explore these two kinks and what they suggest about our culture.

The 15-month effort to gain union recognition by dancers employed at the Star Garden Topless Dive Bar in North Hollywood, California, ended in victory this week. For the 116th episode of Private Parts Unknown, host Courtney Kocak welcomes Velveeta, one of Star Garden's newly unionized strippers, to explain how this historic milestone came to be. On Monday, May 15th, lawyers representing the owners of the Star Garden withdrew all election challenges, agreed to recognize the union, and will meet with the Actors’ Equity Association across the bargaining table within 30 days to negotiate a first contract. The club also will reopen for business and bring back dancers who were dismissed last year. The spark that ignited the unionization campaign was lit in March of 2022 when the club’s security guards repeatedly failed to protect dancers from threatening and abusive behavior from patrons. Dancers were illegally fired for bringing concerns about safety and security to management. With the assistance of Strippers United, a 501(c)3 organization led by strippers that advocates for strippers’ rights, Star Garden’s strippers began picketing outside the strip club to protest unsafe working conditions. Picketing continued every week through November outside the club’s location on Lankershim Blvd in North Hollywood, California. Last August, the dancers announced they had affiliated with Equity. Shortly afterward, the national union filed for an election with the NLRB on behalf of the dancers. In the fall, the labor board conducted an election by mail. A vote count was scheduled for November, but the results were put on hold by the NLRB due to employer objections and legal filings. The NLRB was scheduled to hold a hearing this week over the employer objections. That hearing is now unnecessary and has been canceled. Star Garden’s dancers are not the first strippers to seek union recognition. Strippers at San Francisco’s Lusty Lady organized the Exotic Dancers Union in 1997. They were affiliated with the Service Employees International Union. The Lusty Lady closed in 2013. So that’s how the Star Garden dancers became America's only unionized strippers at the moment. Perhaps they will inspire others just like they were inspired by the Lusties.

For the 114th episode of Private Parts Unknown, host Courtney Kocak welcomes happily married swingers Dave and Victoria Arena for an episode all about non-monogamy — swinging, in specific. And I have the perfect guests because they’ve been happily married and active in the lifestyle for decades. I met Dave and Victoria through a screenwriting workshop. They actually wrote a pilot for a TV series inspired by their swinger lifestyle. In real life, it began as innocent pillow talk, but when Victoria took the daring step to sign them up for a non-monogamy app, they had no idea what they were in for... But they quickly worked through that first awkward encounter and have been making it work ever since. Twenty years is a long time to be happily swinging with your partner, so in this episode, we'll learn their secrets for lasting so long in the lifestyle. We also explore how they first became swingers, their initial rules, how they prioritize their relationship, the joys of sex clubs, and the swinging scene in Cleveland, Ohio vs. New York City, plus tips for couples who want to start swinging and how to approach the conversation with your partner.

For the 109th episode of Private Parts Unknown, host Courtney Kocak welcomes the co-editors of the new anthology Gray Love: Stories About Dating and New Relationships After 60, Nan Bauer-Maglin & Daniel E. Hood—and spoiler alert: they don’t just “work well together,” they’re an IRL couple! Often the dating stories we hear are from younger people, but the quest for love and sex doesn’t have an expiration date—and depending on how things shake out, you might find yourself back on the dating scene way later than you expected. Senior singles make up one of the fastest-growing demographics in online dating, and they’re writing a third act for themselves previous generations could never have imagined. For some, it even brings the best sex of their lives. But, of course, dating and relationships typically come with a different set of circumstances later in life. We are going to get into all the nuances with today’s guests, including dealing with death, ghosts in the bed, living apart together (incorrectly referred to as “living alone together” during the interview—our apologies!), and more. Plus, we talk about the pros and cons of becoming a parent after 40 and the preferred terminology of “older people” or older adults” versus “old,” “elderly,” or, god forbid, “geriatric.” For more from today's guests, Nan Bauer-Maglin & Daniel E.

For the 107th episode of Private Parts Unknown, host Courtney Kocak welcomes historian and former Lusty Jayne Swift. Swift specializes in the history of sexuality, gender, and labor in the U.S., and she’s writing a book about the history of sex worker social movements in which the Lusty Lady features prominently. Currently, a strip club in North Hollywood called Star Garden is trying to unionize. But there’s a classic example of stripper unionization that’s THE case study often pointed to: Strippers at San Francisco’s Lusty Lady organized into the Exotic Dancers Union in 1996. The Exotic Dancers Union was affiliated with the Service Employees International Union. Eventually, the strippers bought the club and ran it as a worker-owned co-op until The Lusty Lady closed in 2013.

For the 96th episode of Private Parts Unknown, host Courtney Kocak welcomes Jaclyn Friedman, founder and executive director of EducateUS: SIECUS In Action, to talk about sex ed in the U.S. — and why it's vital that we do better. Jaclyn is a long-time feminist activist. She's also the author of Unscrewed: Women, Sex, Power, and How to Stop Letting the System Screw Us All and What You Really Really Want: The Smart Girl's Shame-Free Guide to Sex and Safety.

We also cover the wide-reaching impact of good sex ed, how the culture wars are drawing attention to work in this space, the insidious, politically co-opted language of "grooming" and how it affects childhood sexual assault survivors, and more.

Unfortunately, a couple of weeks ago, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade in a devastating rollback of rights. So for the 91st episode of Private Parts Unknown, we are countering a common misconception that people who are already moms don't get abortions or aren't pro-abortion. But that's not true: According to 2019 CDC statistics, 60% of people who get abortions are already mothers. So today, host Courtney Kocak speaks with reporter, abortion activist, AND mom Robin Marty, in addition to writer, speaker, and mom activist Christine Michel Carter about why abortion access is necessary, even for people who WANT to be pregnant, how to talk to your kids about abortion, and more. Robin Marty is the author of Handbook for a Post-Racial America and the updated New Handbook for a Post-Roe America, in addition to several other books, and she's currently the director of operations for the West Alabama Women's Center. Christine Michel Carter is the author of MOM AF and Can Mommy Go To Work?

In a very grim turn of events, Roe v. Wade was overturned by SCOTUS last week. For the 90th episode of Private Parts Unknown, we're going to hold space for that grieving process — and also hear directly from the people litigating the case and an organization at the forefront of the pro-choice movement about what this means, how we got here, and what's to come. Host Courtney Kocak gives her reaction to Friday news and shares her personal experience with abortion. Then we talk through the biggest takeaways from Friday's press conference, where the Center for Reproductive Rights and Mississippi Center for Justice discussed the devastating ruling in the U.S. Supreme Court case Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, with clips from the following speakers: Nancy Northup, President and CEO of the Center for Reproductive Rights Julie Rikelman, Senior Director of U.S. Litigation at the Center for Reproductive Rights Hillary Schneller, Senior Staff Attorney at the Center for Reproductive Rights Robert McDuff, Mississippi Center for Justice For more from The Center for Reproductive Rights: Follow them on Instagram @reprorights Follow them on Twitter @ReproRights Check out their website reproductiverights.org Here's a playlist of our previous abortion-related episodes, including the "Men Have Abortions Too" series: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4BFDkcQYzdfq5YEV5buzzO?si=19a1d68b109845dd Background: On Friday, June 24th, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld a Mississippi law that bans abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy, overturning the constitutional right to an abortion as protected under Roe v. Wade, which determined that every person has the right to end a pregnancy before viability—typically around 23-24 weeks. As a result of this ruling, about half the states in the country are expected to take immediate action to ban or severely restrict abortion. This case was first filed in March 2018 by the Center for Reproductive Rights on behalf of Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the last remaining abortion clinic in Mississippi. The lawsuit aimed to block the state’s ban on abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy. The ban was struck down by a federal district court and the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. The state of Mississippi then asked the Supreme Court to hear the case, and arguments were held in December 2021.

Plus, excerpts from his frontline podcast Fighting for Ukraine and poignant stories of Ukrainians banding together to resist Russia’s invasion (one includes soup!). Слава Україні! Героям cлава!

For the 78th episode of Private Parts Unknown, hosts Courtney Kocak and Sofiya Alexandra are sending a love letter to Sofiya’s homeland: Ukraine — more specifically Odessa, the pearl of the Black Sea. Sofiya grew up in Odessa, Ukraine, before immigrating to the U.S. in 1994, when she was in middle school. Now, in the wake of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Sofiya revisits the place she first called home, sharing her favorite memories and cultural touchstones, why it's Ukraine instead of "the Ukraine" (which undermines the country's sovereignty), how this war has made us realize our neglect of other conflict zones, and more. This episode was inspired by Sofiya's viral Twitter thread, which struck a chord with folks eager to learn more about Ukraine during this harrowing time. We’re up for some Podca$h funding for the show, and, in addition to paying our team, we want to take a trip to Antarctica for a bucket list series about love and sexuality on the South Pole. Please write us a short love letter (just a sentence or two would be perfect!) letting them know what you love about our show. Please don’t hold back on the compliments!
