We often talk about all things “modern” on our show. Modern love, modern sex, modern relationships. However, today we decided to switch things up and go back in time. We have invited the incredible Dr. Kate Lister onto our show to give us a history lesson on sex workers, non monogamy and all things sex! Dr Kate Lister is a lecturer in the School of Arts and Communication at Leeds Trinity University. She primarily researches the literary history of sex work and curates the online research project, Whores of Yore, an interdisciplinary digital archive for the study of historical sexuality. Kate has also published in the medical humanities, material culture, Victorian studies and Neo-Medievalism. She regularly writes about the history of sexuality for inews, Vice, and the Welcome Trust and won the Sexual Freedom Publicist of the Year Award in 2017. We can’t wait to get into it!

First as a non-monogamous educator and podcaster with my partner. In April 2021 I decided that I wanted to expand my knowledge surrounding sex education and enrolled in school to become a certified Somatic Sex Educator and Sexological Bodyworker. I have recently completed my fourth Core Course with my Institute and I am a certified "Like a Pro" graduate with the School of Consent. I am currently starting a waitlist to work with clients both online and in-person.

Trained as a relationship/intimacy coach with the Somatica® Institute before embarking on the path of Sexological Bodywork & Somatic Sex Education with the ISSSE where I'm currently completing my training. I hold trainings in performance hypnosis, doula training, lactation education, dominatrix work, business coaching, Hakomi Psycotherapy and psychedelic guidance/integration. I am currently enrolled in Ellen Heed's STREAM training (Scar Tissue Remediation Education and Management) with a focus on holistic pelvic care. My emphasis is on emerging from shame, increased choicefulness, pattern recognition, improved communication & boundary setting. I hold a space where my clients can safely and authentically show up in their bodies and minds, dark side and all, and be met there. www.mysexandsensibility.com --- WORK WITH ME: https://www.sexedforthemodernbed.com/services --- SAY HI ON SOCIAL: Website: https://www.sexedforthemodernbed.com/ Twitter: twitter.com/sxuninterrupted Instagram: www.instagram.com/sexedforthemodernbed/ Facebook: www.facebook.com/sexuninterrupted/ YouTube: www.youtube.com/sexuninterrupted Music Credit: Shake - Anno Domini Beats (Theme Music) © SU Lifestyle Media Inc.
