Shyena & Amara Talk Sex on Christian Radio Show

The other Day Shyena and I were on the Dr. Stan Frager Radio Show in Louisville, Kentucky. What a trip! Curiously, we got more call-ins on this show than any radio sex talk we’ve done- the phones were ringing non-stop.

Before the show we were asked to keep it mild, but the producer was pretty vague; she seemed hesitant to say any of the words we were not supposed to say, so we kind of tiptoed around the subject as best we could. The announcer Dr. Stan, a psycologist, was great however. Five times, after each commercial break right before we went on, he warned viewers they might want to remove young people from the room. Then he nicely repeated how important it was to talk about sex. I was gathering that this was a pretty big deal, and that Dr. Frager was covering his (bases) the way he would tell his audience to cover up. During the commercials we heard their advertisements for Bible classes interspersed with melodic sounding staunchly republican political messages. Something about cutting taxes…

The shows’ topic was ‘Why Sex is Boming for Boomers’, which Stan proudly told us he managed to get the Station’s owner’s approval for. Now, we were trying to respect their Southern, conservative audience and I thought we were totally vanilla- lots of talk about affection, hugging and kissing, and about how the biggest sex organ is between your ears and the like.  But when were midway through, another male manager cut in off-air to tell us we needed to tone it down- ‘they were getting calls.’ He sounded politely urgent in his request, but again didn’t say exactly what we shouldn’t say, so Shyena and I were trying to figure it out in the minutes we had. Was it because we said Orah? They probably don’t like Oprah? Who knows?
 

Meantime, one older guy called in to say he’s had a great sex life for the last forty years, and loved all the talk about affection. He actually said he liked being like a ‘lap dog.’  I couldn’t help but say (twice) what a wonderful image I though this was…(Stan changed the subject quickly

Another lady called to say how her parents openly showed affection, hugging and kissing in front of her all the time as a child, and added that because of this she had a happy marriage. (we kept being drawn back by Stan to talk ONLY about married couples…) Then a guy called to tell us (sounded like his girlfriend mind you,) had cistitus, but she wouldn’t talk to anyone about it. The guy sounded quite distraught because she wanted NOTHING to do with sex. He was trilled and really relieved to have someone to talk to about this- I imagine it took a lot for this man to call… I told him to encourage his girlfriend to go to a female gynecologist. (do conservatives go to female gynocologists? Anyway, Dr. Frager liked this advice) I mentioned I have a female gynecologist friend, who said the male doctors in her practice almost never talk about sexual issues with their patients (I was astonished at this) but that she was inundated by women’s intimate questions day in and day out.

Right after the show we got a call from the LeShanta, the producer. She told us Dr. Frager actually loved the show. Shyena however was dying to know what was too racy for Chriatian conservatives. Turns out it was when Shyena said:”Vaginal Dryness.”

Hey, we were trying to encourage folks not to be shy about about buying a great lubricant (called SYLK)….

Oh well, guess the Vagina word is still not okay in some places.

Nothing like preaching to the choir.

All is good.

Quehestemehah, “You dance in my Heart.

In beauty, Amara
