LOS ANGELES — “Shameless Sex” podcast hosts April Lampert and Amy Baldwin have launched a “shame-busting” campaign on their Instagram page to give a voice women and their sexuality.
The sex-ed hosts are running a contest “inviting women to take photos of themselves ‘outing’ their sexual experiences and sharing these personal moments with others in a positive, supportive place,” says Baldwin, noting that she and Lampert have already received an overwhelming amount of entries and online participation.
Women can join in the “Shameless Sex” campaign by sharing their sexual confessions or desires — whether an admission of an affair, same-sex exploration or desire for someone other than their partner — to social media (white paper, black Sharpie and bold lettering will do), tagging #shamelesssex or sending it to Lampert and Baldwin, and it will be posted to the pair’s Instagram page.
“People are commenting on how grateful they are that we are highlighting the diversity of female sexuality,” says Baldwin. “Women are saying that it feels very freeing just sharing their story. We are bringing REAL experiences out of the shadows. At the same time, the campaign is also pushing people’s buttons — especially when it comes to infidelity and dating married men.”
The contest, which runs through Friday, Feb. 22, was inspired by Wednesday Martin’s book “Untrue: Why Nearly Everything We Believe about Women, Lust and Adultery is Wrong and How the New Science Can Set Us Free.”
The prizes (Lampert and Baldwin will announce contest winners on Instagram) include complete access to the “Shameless Sex” online Wild Woman Sex workshop, a copy of “Untrue,” and a grand prize of all of the above, plus a Rabbit Vibrator, full access to OMGyes, a bottle of @Uberlube, a Solo by Hot Octopuss and a 12 Sexy Days kit by Bijoux Indiscrets — a total value of more than $1,000.
“We’re breaking down myths and telling it like it is, and we encourage our ‘Shameless’ listeners to share their sexual beliefs, longings and thoughts with us,” Lampert said, “and find inspiration in the beautiful and amazing Instagram images we’ve already posted this past week.”
