Content warning: sexual violence, sex industry, difficult conversationsIn today’s episode we are joined by Sarah Jones, Tony winner writer, performer and director of Sell Buy Date. Sarah and I had very important and uncomfortable conversations about sex, the sex industry, sex education, and gendered violence. You might be thinking, “what does this have to do with being a parent?!?” well, tune in and you’ll understand exactly how necessary these conversations are.Sarah discusses what she learned through making her unorthodoc (documentary) ranging from adultifying our young daughters, how Barbie is directly related to the sex industry, and how important it is to meet everyone you meet with compassion and curiosity.Questions we can ask ourselves as parents include: Am I forcing my kids to hug grandma even when they don’t want to? Am I telling my young boys they are so handsome that they’re going to be chased after by girls when they’re older? Am I scared to talk to my kids about sex? If so, then today’s episode is definitely for you!This episode is like nothing you’ve heard before on the Curious Neuron Podcast, so grab your partner and listen.Watch this episode on YouTube:Join Sarah Jones on Instagram hereOrganizations to look intohttps://thelifestory.org/https://www.acalltomen.org/You can watch Sell Buy Date on Amazon Prime or Apple TV.The deeply personal film is a witty documentary / narrative hybrid following Jones and her multicultural characters (she plays 5 characters in the film!) on a journey exploring our relationship to the sex industry via Sarah’s hilarious comedy and social justice lens.
