Please allow me to introduce Sherri and Rueben Johnson, AKA, xoFlyDuo. I got to meet them at the Sexology Summit in 2022 and I was smitten! They not only run these amazing businesses supporting sex professionals, they have an incredible story of strength in escaping the cult religious group they grew up in. This matters now more than ever as Christian Nationalists attempt to destroy our democracy. Plus you know I'm a sucker for a love story that leads to sex positivity.

Today's episode I introduce you to Nikita Fernandes, also known as Goddess Nix, who shares her journey of self-discovery and healing as a therapist and member of the kink community. Growing up in a patriarchal culture in India, Nikita felt the erasure of women's sexuality and turned to reading smut in secret. She knew from a young age that she wanted to be a therapist and eventually found her passion for sex therapy and serving marginalized communities. Nikita discusses the importance of visibility and understanding in healthcare and how she found community and embraced her body through the kink scene. She also highlights the impact of media, particularly porn, on body image and sexual expectations. Nikita Fernandes discusses non-monogamy, kink, and navigating the stigma around HSV.

Nikita's Bio:

My bio -Nikita Fernandes is a sex therapist and psychotherapist located in New York City. She lives at the intersections of various identities such as being south asian, queer, neurodivergent and HSV 1 positive. Nikita navigates the sex positive scene as a sexual health educator as well as a fellow human being. Her work lies in empowering people with marginalised identities to cultivate mindful relationships with their sexuality.
