Rog explains why they closed Curious Creatures after ~14 years of running influential in-person workshops on consent, communication, relationships, and self-development that directly reached 10–20,000 people and helped shift consent culture in Australia and beyond. They outline seven intriguing – and sometimes disturbing – reasons leading to the closure, along with descriptions of spec...

Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/curiousconversationsaboutsex Why is this ‘Pan-Political’ perspective so different to the mainstream of gender equality thinking? How could anyone have not noticed that in this world, the evidence overwhelmingly shows that women and minority genders suffer, and men have extreme advantages? How come almost every article you read, and almost every gender e...

In this episode, we explore two separate questions: Is the world built, shaped, or referenced, around male sexuality? If it is, then why is it so easy to find so many complaints about men and sexuality? First, we rigorously (and often humorously) explore the ways that the world is, and isn’t, built around male sexuality. […]

Is there a wage gap? …It seems overwhelmingly likely that there is. But what causes it? …Here’s where things get interesting. Traditional thinking tells us it’s from a devaluing or outright hatred of women – or a prioritizing of men – that happens almost fractally from the individual level, through to the whole-of-society level. The […]

So… What, exactly, is the Patriarchy? Who, exactly is in it? What is its purpose, and how’s it going against its Key Performance Indicators? Do we at some stage get to participate in some kind of a review process? Is there a way we can get involved, and maybe change it from the inside? Is […]

The default assumption is that a lot of the work we need to do to move forwards, needs to be done in gender-separate spaces. Without a doubt, a lot of great work happens in those spaces. Intriguing questions remain, however, around how we hold these spaces in a way that ensures they have positive outcomes […]

What exactly do we mean when we say ‘toxic masculinity’? Where did it come from? (Hint: Closer to home than you think). More importantly, what’s keeping it going? What do we need to do to stop it? Can toxic masculinity, as a concept, lead us to world peace? Can it solve the gender war while […]

Today, we take the useful but politicised and weaponised perspective of privilege, and turn it into and even more useful perspective that leads us to understanding, peace, and solutions. We start with a review of the current state of thinking, and articulate how that leads us to The Great Privilege Paradox. From there, we add […]

The gender revolution is one of the most important changes that’s ever happened in human culture. Its core intentions, its core missions, are undeniably needed. Now that we’re 70 years into it, in some areas the gender revolution continues to progress. However, in other areas progress has slowed or stalled. Worse, in some areas we’re […]

Well this is a rollicking romp of a conversation, in three parts. I’m chatting with Dr Elliot, from https://myfirmtech.com/. Links are in the shownotes. Dr Elliot Justin has a background in emergency medicine, more recently specialising in sex and technology. We started by having a chat about his product lines, which might be of a […]

I’m still here. I still love you. Since we last spoke, a lot of extraordinary things happened, resulting in me stopping workshops kind of abruptly, and selling The Practice Lab. I will probably say more about all of that in a future episode, but for now, perhaps as a down-payment on some of that, let’s […]

Today, we’re chatting about gender, and how your identity is influenced by the events you experience in your life. The conversation is especially interested in how minority genders such as non-binary and trans identities are formed, and how there’s healthy and less than healthy ways that plays out. My guest is Avgi Saketopoulou, who along […]
