Get ready to explore the uncharted waters of sex education like never before!

Sunny Megatron is an award-winning Clinical Sexologist, BDSM & Certified Sexuality Educator, and media personality. She’s the host & executive producer of the Showtime original series, Sex with Sunny Megatron, co-hosts AASECT Award-winning American Sex Podcast and Open Deeply Podcast, and was 2021's XBIZ Sexpert of the Year. Currently, she’s the Editor-in-Chief of kink-focused Zipper Magazine.

Sunny coined the BDSM community catch-phrase, Kink is Customizable™.

In her sell-out workshops, her unique brand of “edutainment” seamlessly combines her humorous teaching style, interactive exercises, and the latest sexuality research. Sunny’s passion is helping others overcome shame and find their power through play and pleasure. She’s also working on her first book, “Customizable Kink: A Strategic Guide to Adult Play.”

My Sir and I first found Sunny Megatron on the Showtime original series, Sex with Sunny Megatron, probably back in 2018 or 2019. If you haven’t seen it, it’s a must-watch. I found the BDSM and the Kink Lifestyle in 2016, in my 40's.

This series and years of following Sunny has helped me grow as a submissive, helped me when I struggled with self-doubt or perfectionism about how a “good submissive” should be, when I struggled with impostor syndrome when I decided I could have a Health and Life Coaching Practice AND be a Kink Aware Professional Coach.
