Chicago – Cate Osborn, aka \u2018Catieosaurus\u2019, was a recent featured guest on Lisa Ann\u2019s popular podcast, Dudes Do Better, where the social influencer, podcast host, sex\/mental health advocate and content creator opened up about a variety of topics that she regularly encounters in the sexual wellness space.<\/p>\n
The certified sex educator, who is making waves in the education community and online social platforms with subject matters such as ADHD, neurodivergence and intimacy, talked about her desire to discuss a range of important matters online while battling bans, bots and restrictions.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to be able to talk about the stuff that I want to talk about, and I want to be able to do it not in code\u2026 my passion is educating about disabilities, neurodivergency and sex and intimacy and relationships\u2026 but I can\u2019t say, like, \u2018vulva\u2019 on TikTok\u2026 I shouldn\u2019t have to fight to be seen and heard and to educate on my own terms.\u201d<\/p>\n
She also expressed concern that \u201cthere is a lot of misinformation out there and so many assumptions that we make,\u201d noting that her inbox is regularly overflowing with myriad questions and levels of concern relating to healthy intimacy and relationships.<\/p>\n
\u201cI worry sometimes, especially with a lot of the questions that I get, because so many of them are just grounded in this idea that there is one right way to do intimacy, there\u2019s one right way to even talk about sex. And I\u2019m like \u2018No, sex can be funny and weird and awkward and silly and goofy. I wish the adult industry would show that kind of sex more.\u201d<\/p>\n
Osborn also revealed her love of being able to communicate with like-minded people through her podcast, Catie and Erik’s Infinite Quest. \u201cThe feedback that we kept getting was, \u2018I\u2019ve never heard a podcast where people unapologetically talk like me, and think like me and aren\u2019t embarrassed when they lose their train of thought\u2026 if they forget what\u2019s going on in the game\u2026 or change the subject 400 times!\u2019<\/p>\n
\u201cAs a content creator, you\u2019re always expected to niche yourself\u2026 I feel like the more that you share yourself, the more that you share your passions and your interests, the things that light up your soul, you are bringing that community to you and you are saying\u2026 I am a fantastically complicated and complex and interesting human\u2026 I think that is the thing that excites me most about content as a whole, I just get to be excited about stuff for my job.<\/p>\n
She added that doing her podcast – and her online presence as a whole – \u201cis just being positive representation for neurodivergency and saying \u2018it\u2019s okay that you go through this, it\u2019s okay that you struggle. You are not the only person, you are not alone\u2026 and that has been just honestly, it\u2019s been the most rewarding thing I have ever done in my entire life.\u201d<\/p>\n
