Margaret Cho to Talk Polyamory, BDSM, Sex Toys on New TLC Show

By Jamilah King Jan 09, 2015

Margaret Cho has made a career for herself as a queer comedian who’s not afraid to talk about sex. In fact, she’s built such a reputation for it that TLC’s given her a new show devoted exclusively to what she describes as "alternative sexualities" called "All About Sex." The show premieres Saturday on TLC at 11pm, and Cho talked with Momo Chang at the Center for Asian American Media to give readers a preview.

It’s an advice show and it’s a talk show. And we’ll take questions from social media about sexuality. It kind of covers all different kinds of sexuality. My area is alternative sexuality–BDSM, queer questions, questions about sex toys. I have been in the alternative sexual community for my entire adult life and I served on the board of Good Vibrations, which is a really important sex toy company for women. And I have a lot of experience in the area of polyamory and alternative sexuality in general. So I’m there to field questions about that.

I’m really thrilled about the show. We have myself on the panel, a doctor who’s really knowledgeable about everything– Dr. Tiffanie [Davis Henry]–and Heather [McDonald] and Marissa [Jaret Winokur] are there to keep it really funny. We’re ready to rock. (See all the hosts’ bios below).
