Justine joins a panel of sex educators to share their experiences about how she uses Amaze videos to teach sexuality education virtually.
In this episode, we discuss the concepts of safety, fulfillment, and pleasure, the platinum rule, body agency, using W.A.P. as a litmus test, and more.
The second of a fascinating two-part discussion, this episode delves deeper into Ming Peiffer’s Usual Girls. The play premiered in 2018 at Roundabout Underground for an extended, sold-out run. Catalyzed by the allegations against American Apparel’s Dov Charney, playwright Peiffer began to investigate the stories of women and the milestones in the sexual maturation of girls in America that can lead to a fraught and vulnerable relationship to one’s own sexuality. Peiffer put the patriarchy, rape culture, sexism, misogyny, and racism on trial in her professional debut work.
The first of a critical two-part discussion recorded in 2020, this episode focuses on Ming Peiffer’s Usual Girls. What does healthy sexual development look like? How can femmes claim (or reclaim) their own sexuality? Is it possible to shed the culturally imposed shame and guilt and adopt an outlook of pleasure? What should effective sex education teach and when? What sexual stereotypes do we impose upon different communities, be it Black, Latinx, Asian, and how do we counter them? What are the consequences of teaching abstinence-only, medically inaccurate, or emotionally devoid sex ed?
Explore the impact of pornography on boys’ understanding of relationships, consent, and sexual health in this conversation with Justine recorded in 2020. She highlights the importance of developing porn literacy for boys and faculty and discusses the links among pornography and healthy relationships, sex, and consent. She also suggests strategies for rolling out programs in boys’ schools that adequately prepare students for healthy sexual engagements.

Justine was invited by the Naval command NAVFAC EXWC and their Diversity Committee to commemorate Women’s Equality Day 2020 in the United States. She conducted an interactive workshop focusing on gender as a social construct, and interrogated the real impacts it has on our health and well-being. Justine also presented the ways that media and human behaviors reinforce gender norms that hold us back from achieving gender parity and thus, our potential, safety, and health.
Consent is a conversation that we need to have urgently. Join Caroline this week as she chats to Justine Ang Fonte as she explains why it's important to teach consent at a young age. She outlines how consent conversations can help maximise sexual agency, pleasure, and authenticity. Justine also covers consent and porn literacy, and why consent is a "womb to tomb" conversation in this episode recorded in 2020.
On this episode with Justine Ang Fonte from 2020, we discuss her journey to becoming a sought after speaker and consultant on sexual health and wellness to co-creating a storytelling platform, now in its 4th year, that centers on Pinay voices.
