Sexy Sunday with Bonnie Weeks

Lately I’ve been embracing my sexuality as both human and yoga teacher. I found my own sensuality and sexuality within yoga, and while I will always place my role as a teacher above my own sexual attraction and fantasies, it can be fun to blend the two. The yoga studio will always be a safe place for anyone of any gender or sexual orientation, but sometimes it can be a really sexy place. A short s...

Working out and building muscle makes you sexier. And it isn’t because of the changes you might see in your body—you’re sexy enough the way you already are—but because of the way you carry yourself, knowing what your body is capable of, and feeling like you’re the shit. Then the next magical thing happens: the sexier you feel, the better sex you’ll have. Don’t we all want better sex? Tara Laferrar...

We can eat an orange thousands of times in our lives, but every time we do, the experience is different. Maybe you can eat the orange outside, or take the peel off in one large piece, or maybe you can bite into it like an apple—it’s always the same fruit, but the experience is different. And yes, we’re talking about oranges here, but we’re also talking about sex. That’s what Alicia Dell’Aria is pr...

This is part two of my conversation with Rocky Heron. In part one , we discussed penetrative auras and transcendent self-love. In this episode, I wanted to look at Rocky’s childhood exploration of sex and how that leads into his own exploration of self now. There is a dualism to life—for every up there is a down, for all the light there is darkness. Just like in life, there is dualism within ourse...

Rocky Heron says that in the gay community, sex is often like a handshake; you have sex first and then look for a deeper connection. People fear depth and connection, and often a deep energetic exchange feels more penetrating and vulnerable than physical penetration. But Rocky has a penetrating aura, and he isn’t looking for sex to fill a void anymore. This is part one of my conversation with Rock...

Our youthful sexual experiences often tend to be one sided: a lot of giving and not much receiving. That’s one of the gifts of getting older—releasing the shame and breaking free of the molds of what sex “should” be, and finding the courage to communicate our true sexual desires. That’s Krystal Martos’ journey, from thinking there can be only one person to meet all your needs, to being able to say...

Jazz flows; it’s about improvisation, give-and-take, it’s about connection. I want sex that’s like jazz. For many people, sex ends up being about seeking control rather than seeking connection, and that control will never leave you with satisfying results. So many of us are taught about sex and love as one specific thing, and we try to force it to be that. We start playing a role in someone else’s...

We all need to talk about vaginas more often. What they look like, how they feel in yoga pants, what goes in them, and how to give them love. The way out of vulva shame, and all bad sex for that matter, is talking about it—it’s communication. That’s a theme that comes up a lot on this podcast: knowing yourself, asking for what you want, and owning your own choices despite what people think. Talkin...

Ashley Pardo had the ultimate “guarantee,” and yet… she wanted more. She left, she chose the promise of a happier uncertainty. Like many of us, Ashley was raised to follow to rules, and not to ask for what she wanted or needed. It was only when she began to explore her own pleasure—in food, sex, and life—that Ashley began to uncover her own truth. And even though the comfort of a label or a guaran...

I connected with Jack Squire after recognizing the necklace he was wearing as a vibrator. Isn’t that fascinating, that by how we choose to present ourselves—our clothes, our hair, our accessories—we can attract the exact kind of people who can connect with us on a deeper level. And that’s what Jack wants everyone to know: a long relationship doesn’t mean a “deep” one. In relationships with friends...

Have you ever gazed into your own pussy? Or required a lover to get to know your pussy before they’re allowed inside? Do you know how to ask for what you want, or even what feels good to you? Rebecca Sunshine, better known as Sunny, is one of my sexiest friends. Sunny is tuning in to her pussy: checking in with it, how it reacts to different people, letting it take charge. Sunny is advocating for...

What you are about to hear is an experiment. Because who makes the rules of what is and isn’t allowed, what is and isn’t acceptable? This episode includes a clip of me attempting to read a story while my lover goes down on me, and what follows. My hope is that you listen with a brave and curious heart. When we talk about sex, we have more and better sex. And the more we are open and honest about o...

Taylor and I wanted to recap what we’ve been up to. What was originally the Tabernacle Retreat turned into a day to celebrate our bodies. And celebrate we did, both as individuals and as a group. My favorite places to be are the places we can show up with curiosity and with bravery, where a container can be created in which we can hold space for each other and meet others exactly where they are. W...

I want to tell you a story today about selfish honesty—a time when I didn’t practice it, and when things could have turned out differently if I had. Selfishness doesn’t have to be a bad thing. Selfishness can look like expressing our want and our needs, so that we don’t have to be putting ourselves last. Communicate what you want out of your sex life, because the best foreplay is talking about sex...

Just because we’re adults doesn’t mean we don’t want to play with toys. Vivienne Amijee is in love with a toy of her own… her vibrator. Vivienne is on a new journey—one where her pleasure and her self are at the forefront. Gone are the days of making someone else (including their happiness, their pleasure) the center of your life, when they won’t do the same thing. There is so much left un-spoken...

There is so much power in our voice. Teaching a class, a vocal art piece, the voice of an alter-ego, speaking on a podcast, or practicing the noises we make during sex… It is complicated, but it is so beautiful. We can only show up in the world as truthfully as we express ourselves, and so much of that begins with our voices, with the conversations we have. JQ Williams’ story begins with a lot of...

This is the longest Sexy Sunday episode yet, but trust me when I tell you that listening to Marcus Kent speak will leave you breathless and begging for more ;) Like so many of us, Marcus’ first memories surrounding sex are centered on guilt and shame, that sex is a thing to be avoided at all cost, and if you have to have sex, it is for procreation only. But after a photography job-turned-career in...

It is a big (and often scary) thing to have conversations like the ones we have on this podcast. But, as you’ll hear my guest Jessie Beale say, the way we grow is by stepping out of our comfort zones. And if we want real, honest change in the world, we all have to participate. This conversation is just the start. Jessie is a yoga teacher and naturalist—which is not the same as a nudist, you’ll fin...

Being a hoe is more than just our actions… It’s a way of life. “Hoe energy” isn’t just about your sexual exploits. Hoe energy is confidence, honesty, vulnerability, directness. Being a hoe isn’t degrading, it means ownership, empowerment, and sexual freedom. Showing up in your hoe energy? It’s a goddamn public service. In my conversation this week with Marcus Stanback of Daily Growth Yoga, we’re o...

I want to share a devotional with you this week, an episode about part of my journey of sexual exploration and play and why, after experimenting with non monogamy, I decided to leave my marriage. I want to share my story with you not to paint me as a victim or a villain, but to celebrate the fact that I am human. Sex is not only about how we interact with others, but it is a part of the deep, inti...

Morgan Tyler grew up in strict purity culture. She was taught that the female body was shameful. Sex education was male-centered. Women’s pleasure was never mentioned. Now she’s writing her own story. After years of purity culture and shutting down any connection to her self, she’s learning that its okay—and safe—to feel. We talk about EMDR therapy, and the innate knowledge within our bodies that...

Dr. Uchenna “UC” Ossai hasn’t always been the person she is today… so how did she get here? I suppose you could say it all started with a bookshelf full of hidden, scandalous books and some open conversations and experimentation with sex. Now, UC educates people about sex in a positive, shame-free way that many people have never experienced before. Sex is about learning and evolution, it’s about e...

Let’s chat with my friend, Taylor-leigh. Taylor and I started talking about sex 2 years ago on my podcast, Yoga Strong, and we never want to stop. One thing we love about sex is sharing not only the ways we are different, but the ways we are the same as well. From pubic hair and aging, to having open communication about sex with our kids, to breaking the rules of what divorce “should” look like. T...

Why Sexy Sunday? The name comes from weekly poetry prompts I have been sharing on my Instagram account every Sunday since December of 2019. It’s something I started when, for the first time, I started exploring what it means to be a sexual being. I grew up in the Mormon church, and if you’re familiar with that culture, you might know that sex is not often spoken about, and it’s definitely not some...
