‘She Dares To Say’ is now wrapping up its third season, which began in October 2023. The rotating schedule has included the following content strands:

‘Pleasure Principles with Almaz Ohene’ column for Female Health & Fertility magazine

My column appears in the digital magazine each issue (now released quarterly) and I also publish it in full via ‘She Dares To Say’.

‘Authenticity Arena’ sexuality survey interviews

Where I gently encourage members of the public to open up about their views and personal experiences of sex. Interviews are formatted as verbatim text transcripts and I also include the audio recordings (with any identifying personal information bleeped out). Written answers that interviewees gave in response to my sexuality survey are also published in paywalled ‘POSTSCRIPT’ posts. To gain access to these posts upgrade to paid.

‘Considering My Crushes’ essays

Where I write about my celebrity/public eye/fictional crushes along with imagery. A couple of these essays are partially paywalled. To read essays in full, upgrade to paid. And, some of these posts are guest essays by writers in my community.

‘What The Notches Said’ interviews

Where I reach out to various people from my sexual past and ask them to answer quick-fire questions about where they were at in life when we dated/hooked-up and how their views/situation have changed in the intervening years. Some extra text and audio extracts from the especially entertaining parts of the conversation are also published in paywalled ‘POSTSCRIPT’ posts. To gain access to these posts upgrade to paid.

This post will round up all of this season’s ‘Authenticity Arena’ sexuality survey interviews.

Previous posts:

‘S’ and I chatted about the high percentage of neurodivergent people who identify outside of the gender binary, their first marriage, at the age of 19, which didn’t get off to a good start, and the radical ideas about sexuality portrayed in the Kinsey movie.

‘R’ shared how she was initially daunted by a new diagnosis which meant that her life-expectancy increased loads to 60 to 70 years, and also how she’s found it difficult navigating safety and comfort boundaries alongside sexual boundaries while being intimate with partners.

‘P’ works in a similar sexuality education field to me, so our conversations touched on the complications that can sometimes arise in social situations when people know that our jobs are sex-based and are looking for answers to personal questions. ‘P’ also shared an incident from her early adolescence where she was accused of sexually predatory behaviour towards a fellow school pupil and the harm that the allegations caused.

‘O’ shared with me his experience of having sex with someone else for the first time, which happened, when he was 14, with a young woman who was 18. (Almaz note: ‘O’ describes the experience as wholly consensual, but in regards to the law in lots of US states, under 18s cannot consent to sex). Our chat also covered the initial guilt that ‘O’ felt when he started doing sex stuff with men, and also the acceptance that came when he started reading lots of books on sexuality and relationship styles.
