Dr. Evelin Dacker on Sex Positivity, Shameless STIs, Polyamory, and a Sex Ed Curriculum for the 21st Century
The STARS Method
Good Girls Talk About Sex Podcast
with Leah Carey
Dr. Evelin Dacker explains the STARS method she created. It’s an easy-to-remember acronym that will help you begin conversations leading to great, consensual sex.
But I don’t want you to just get the theory behind the conversation, I want you to hear it in practice! So I invited my friend Ray to join me for a sample STARS conversation.
Integrative Disclosure
Something Positive For Positive People Podcast
with Courtney Brame
We’re able to enter a relating situation with a conscious communication tool. As someone living with herpes, I know not everyone wants to relate at the level I’d like to. This conversation helps us figure that out soon so that we can move on and get our needs met sooner without investing heavily into someone we may not be compatible with. I appreciate Dr. Dacker’s tool as an integrative disclosure method. It also includes pieces of the conversation that are often left out of the sex conversation.
How to Talk About STIs
We lay out the science of STIs and then give you language to talk about them and, more broadly, about sex, with a potential partner. Because for something so fun, sex can be hard to talk about.

Minimizing Illness and the Transmission of Infections on Set: In Conversation with Evelin Dacker, MD
with Kristina Valentine
COVID-19 has brought conversations of health and safety in the workplace to the forefront. For those of us working in entertainment, we’ve become accustomed to sharing our vaccination cards and frequent testing, and good general practices like hand-washing and surface sanitization have become prioritized. I found myself thinking, what could a full examination of the risks associated with filming scenes including kissing or simulated sex look like? I wanted to consult with a medical doctor who aligned with my values to get my questions answered, so last week, I met with Dr. Evelin Dacker.

Shameless Sex: It's All About Communication
Given Consent Podcast
with Jamie Cawelti
Dr. Evelin Dacker breaks down the reality of STI shame both in society and the medical field. Her work focuses on elevating the voices of people of color, and LGBT+ people in the sex positive community, and community at large. She not only teaches us how to talk about safer sex through her STARS talk, she also teaches facilitators to do it too!
Risk Tolerance
Having a shared language about risk is an important part of being able to create a good social bubble. Dr. Evelin Decker’s Covid Care model offers a set of risk levels that you can begin to use to identify what kind of risks you are comfortable with–and what kinds of risks your potential bubble buddies are comfortable with.
You are only as safe as the biggest risk taker in your social bubble!
Honest conversations about risk tolerance are critical to creating a social bubble that respects the needs of everyone who is part of it.
