A Sluts Guide To HappinessA Sluts Guide To Happiness Author: Vanessa Cliff
Life presents enough challenges, from inevitable death and illness to man-made strife like poverty, inequality, and war. In the face of human suffering, sexuality is an incredible outlet for joy, healing, pleasure and connection. Yet, social norms make accessing this simple joy harder than it needs to be. In this podcast, we unpack junk narratives about which bodies, identities, relationship styles, or sexual activities are considered acceptable and reclaim the power of sexual freedom. Recent decades have brought meaningful progress in some areas of gender and sexuality, like greater acceptance of LGBTQ people in the institution of marriage and the workplace, and access to contraception that allows women more sexual freedom. Nonetheless, dominant cultural norms still perpetuate narrow ideas about who is desirable or worthy of love and what sexual practices are appropriate. Often, these subtle, pernicious ideas operate quietly beneath the surface and show up in our hearts as shame, isolation or fear. How do we break free? How do we learn to be and love our whole authentic selves, to find the joy and pleasure in authenticity? How do we release the fear that who we are, how we love or what we desire is a problem? What do happiness and connection look like for people who dont conform to idealized standards? How do we claim the power of sexual freedom for people who have a differently sized body, differently functioning brain, or different levels of mobility; people who work in the sex industry; or people who are slutty, kinky, old, Black or brown, transgender, or polyamorous? Cliff Media is a porn production company that invites people of all walks of life to share in the exciting, scary experiment of co-creating sex-positive spaces beyond fear and shame.

Becoming Slutty, Sexual and Free - with Kitty
Episode 52
Tuesday, 6 January, 2026
The notion of “hypersexuality” is one of the ways that people are shamed for having a high sex drive, interest in masturbating or watching porn, or desire for multiple partners. It is often entangled with stereotypes about mental health conditions as well as identity, including gender and racial identity. In this episode, Kitty describes how they processed through early narratives in their life about being “hypersexual” and eventually came to terms with their sexual desires. Now that they embrace their high sex drive and desire for multiple sexual partners as a positive part of their personality, they are able to set stronger boundaries, ask more confidently for what they want, and pursue the kind of sex that brings them joy.@Vanessacliff2
