Str8 No Chaser® Podcast – Episode 3

Sexual Behavior, Orientation & Identity: Not the Same Thing

We assume our sexual behavior, sexual orientation,and sexual identity should always match. And that everyone else’s should match: what we do, what we want, and what we call ourselves. But human sexuality isn’t nearly that neat and tidy. Nor is anything related to mother nature.

In this episode, host Kelvin Blunt unpacks theoften-confused triangle of sexual behavior, sexual orientation, and sexual identity. From Roman emperors to modern-day researchers, we explore whathappens when those lines don’t align, and why it still rattles us.

Featuring insights from Kinsey’s landmarkresearch, Dr. Lisa Diamond, Karen Gee, and Dr. Joe Kort, this episode lays the groundwork for future conversations around labels, fluidity, desire, and societalexpectations.

Str8 No Chaser® Podcast – Episode 2

"The Social Construction of Sexual Orientation"

We throw around labels like gay, straight, and bisexual like they’ve always existed. But what if sexual orientation is a recent invention, not a universal truth?

In this episode, Kelvin Blunt unpacks what it means to call something a social construct, and how history, power, medicine, and culture all played a role in shaping what we now call “sexual orientation.”

From ancient acts to Victorian-era science, from Stoic philosophers to modern-day identity, this episode lays the groundwork for everything Str8 No Chaser® dares to ask.

In this short debut episode, host Kelvin Blunt lays the foundation for Str8 No Chaser® , a podcast that doesn’t ask if society makes sense but why we’re still following it.

From copy-and-paste culture to identity gatekeeping, ADHD to sexual proclivities, this episode explores how thoughts become “proof,” why we “should” on ourselves and others, and what it means to challenge the stories we’ve inherited.

Themes:
– Human behavior + social conformity
– Labels and how we weaponize them
– Perception vs. reality

– Bodyshaming kids– Mindfulness, neurodivergence, and being “too much”
