A creative process littered with personal turmoil, from death to mental landmines, SONTALK's debut long-player Stay Wild is as indebted to the darkness as new-found light. He's weathered unimaginable horrors, the kind that stirs a ferocious appetite in your gut, and lived to impart every ounce of collected wisdom across 12 songs.
Musician Joseph LeMay doesn't even try to avoid the unavoidable. He confronts the bad and ugly of life head-on, often breaking off his lyrics to slice deeper and to the heart of human suffering. "I'm still on the journey [through brokenness] to be honest, but things are much better now than they were during the writing and recording of Stay Wild. The first part of this journey of managing my brokenness and moving through life with it was extremely scary and difficult," he considers. "I got through it somewhat intact by telling myself that things could and would get better eventually even if I didn't believe it at the time, as well as leaning heavily on my support system (my doctors, therapist, my wife, family friends) and being 100 percent honest with them about what I was going through."

Mental health remains a thorny discussion these days, but the veil is slowly lifting. As hyperbolic as it may seem, music certainly is a healing agent of sorts. "Writing and recording [this album] definitely contributed to my moving toward wholeness. I'm not sure how exactly," he says. "I think being completely transparent emotionally when writing these songs and not shying away from exposing my shittiness made it a little easier to be open to the process of getting better, mentally and emotionally. It also gave me a record of how I felt and where I was at when my bipolar disorder really got dangerous, and that helps me know where I don't want to go back to."
Stay Wild, produced by Jeremy Lutito (Chuck Berry, Colony House), is a resolutely visceral statement piece. In turning over his pain as broken stained glass in the sunlight, LeMay may not be totally healed but he's at least more OK with his emotions than he has in a very long time. Songs like "I am Mountain," "Jesus Honey (God, I Hate You Sometimes)" and "Julian" are exercises in excavating the deepest of wells in order to understand humanity and this so-called weary life.
LeMay spoke with The Globe about his debut album, coming to terms with things, ongoing battles and duality of faith.

What imperfection was the hardest for you to accept of yourself?
Probably accepting that I had Bipolar. Getting that diagnosis and being hospitalized made me lose confidence in myself and question my foundation. Like, what thoughts could be trusted, and what decisions big and small throughout my life were influenced by mania or depression? Could I write songs if I wasn't manic? And will people think of me as the stereotypical bipolar caricature and how will that affect my work and social life? Like, how could I expect people to trust me or work with me, if I have this reputation of being crazy. Not to mention the embarrassing and damaging shit I've done while out of my mind. I'm still calibrating how to feel about it all, honestly.
Your interactive quiz that pairs specific imperfections with album tracks is such a cool way to provoke conversation. What led to that creative choice?
I've got a lot of super passionate people on my team who understand that I want to do way more than just entertain people with my music. I want to make lives better. So, we had a big brain storming session discussing various ways of achieving that. Some of the college students we work with brought up this idea, and I loved it.
In wrestling with bipolar disorder, did you find this music to soothe you or become more of a burden, emotionally?
It definitely felt good to get these songs out of me, but it's so convoluted it's hard to say. What I mean is, I was super manic while writing the songs and the writing process — specifically, the intoxicating feeling you get when you know you're channeling something powerful and other worldly, and you just keep writing good shit — contributed to me going psycho and having to be hospitalized. I actually finished writing "I Am a War Machine" in the hospital. But I was super healthy when me and Jeremy started recording, and in that season, recording the music helped me move toward acceptance and helped me own my brokenness. It gave me some closure on that season.
During this process, a suicide occurred in your family. Did that add other psychological and emotional layers to your own journey?
Absolutely. Losing my best friend and father-in-law Wendel completely rocked me. I was too messed up to work, and we had to stop working on [the album] indefinitely while I got help. Finishing a record just didn't matter to me compared to everything else that was going on. Then once we got back in the saddle, the record had a new meaning and an almost prophetic quality to it in the light of losing Wendel. It was super eerie and overwhelming and comforting all at the same time.
Did you come closer to understanding the things you were feeling and doing through this music?
Yes, I did. And what it didn't help me understand, it at least helped me get rid of the shame I had about it all.

You've said working on his music was much like an out-of-body experience. Did that allow you to step back and dig even deeper with your lyrics and the truth of what was happening?
I think the semi-lucid state I was in for most of the writing process of this record helped me get out of the way and freed me from a lot of unhelpful stuff like self consciousness and fear and ego stuff. It made it easier for me to write about myself, objectively, and express my feelings as if I were writing about someone else.
This album deals readily with life's duality. "Hosanna (God, Damn My Soul)" seems to bask in faith's glow ("We sing hallelujah, amen / God, save my soul," you sing on the final chorus) and then with "Jesus Honey (God, I Hate You Sometimes)" you cry out to him ("Why do you hate me?"). What was your journey in faith and a higher power as presented with these two back-to-back cuts?
"Hosánna" is actually the oldest song on the record. I started writing it in 2010. And I wrote "Jesus Honey" a few days before we started recording. So, I really like this question. I guess these songs more or less reflect the sometimes complicated nature of my relationship with God. "Hosánna" is about moving from youthful sarcastic indignation toward God, to shame and uncertainty of where you stand with God, to finally sincerely asking for God's help.
And "Jesus Honey" was an attempt to understand my relationship with God by expressing my feelings about God through the lens of my romantic relationship with my wife. I feel like we experience God in large part through our human relationships. So, it helps me understand both of them by blurring the lines a bit. Sometimes, "Jesus Honey" is all about me and God, but sometimes, it's about me and Molly. But it's always a conversation with interruptions, contradictions, misunderstandings, passive aggressiveness, and everything that comes with a real relationship.

For the longest time, there's been a stigma around sharing emotions and actually having open conversations about mental health. Why has it taken us so long to get to this place?
I think it's partly because the problems caused by mental health/emotional issues look like problems caused by defects in personal character, especially if the mental health issues lead to self medication with drugs or alcohol. It's easier to understand why someone with a broken leg stays in bed for weeks or has to miss work for an extended period of time than if the same person were struggling with depression or PTSD.
What questions do you want the listener to ask of themselves through this album?
Oooooh…maybe how they could see themselves as the main character of the album.
You bookend with "Julian," which is as haunting as it is hopeful. Is Julian your inner child to whom you've written this album as a set of open letters?
Yes! Or innocence embodied as a child named Julian. It's super weird, but the name Julian actually means "youthful" or "youth" or "childlike." The weird part is that when I wrote "Julian" with my friends Cheyenne Medders and Sara Beth Go, we had no idea what the name meant. We actually didn't even mean to write a lullaby to a child. We wanted to write a song from a child's perspective seeking wisdom from someone named Julian, but it just kept taking shape on its own until it became what it is now. It was a really profound spiritual experience for me feeling this song sort of tell us what it needed to be. Still blows my mind to be honest. One of my most cherished writing experiences.
Where do you go from here — in life, not just music?
Who knows?! I'm just gonna keep writing and recording and touring and spending as much time with my family and friends as I can. And be as present and grateful as possible while doing all those things.

I always wanted to live in New York City. When I was 5, Barbie's townhouse (complete with elevator) was located in Manhattan. Where the adoration first began, I'm not sure. Perhaps it was a love of old musicals -- most set under the twinkly lights of NYC -- that I shared with my father or my aversion to playing outside and breaking a sweat. Either way, I was NYC-bound from the get go. Raised on a small, rural island just outside of Charleston, SC, I really just moved from one island to another... except they couldn't be more different!
Ten + years later, with various jobs & experiences under my belt, I'm still living my dream of Small Town Girl in The Big Apple. I will say that in the dream my apartment was a lot bigger. Ultimately, though, that's neither here nor there. I may wince at trash on the street or mutter about lack of kitchen space, but I continue to have *I love New York* moments on an almost daily basis, and for that I'm immensely grateful.
Check out Big Apple Books and you'll find me reviewing children's literature based in NYC. The goal is to review every book (the famous & the undiscovered) that's set within the 5 boroughs. If you have a suggestion of a book you'd like featured, please send me a note.
You can also find me contributing to TimeOut Kids, Mommybites and offering my 2 cents as a panelist on Momversation.

Metal-detecting group hopes for relics, valuables as reward for members' patience
Published: Jun. 20, 2010, 11:00 p.m.
Tonya Sams, The Plain Dealer
View full sizeLisa DeJong, The Plain DealerDean Heisey, 58, of Madison, uses his metal detector recently to dig up historic metal coins or artifacts in the yard of a century-old home in Geneva Township. Heisey has spent the last decade using a metal detector to comb over Northeast Ohio yards and farms to find history.
Dean Heisey is focused.
On this beautiful June day, Heisey moves his metal detector back and forth over farmland in Ashtabula County, hoping for a signal.
Tweeeeet. The machine emits a high-pitched tone that almost sounds like a flute.
He gazes at the detector's screen and cuts a circle in the sod with a short shovel. He then dips to his knees, which are protected by pads, and pulls out a 1942 "wheat" penny.
The find doesn't faze him. He drops it into the cloth pouch on his belt, replaces the sod and continues his quest.
Heisey and the other members of the North Coast Historical Recovery Association are treasure hunters.
They scour fields, farms and parks looking for trinkets that cause their metal detectors to cry out, excited about their finds.
Sometimes it's an old pull-tab from a beer can. Or an old Matchbox toy car, like the one Heisey later found in Ashtabula. Or a piece of aluminum siding.
But once in a while, it's a treasure like a gold ring, a pocket watch or rare coins.
It's these relics that club members share every second Tuesday at the First Baptist Church of Painesville. The nearly 40 club members have friendly competition for the best find of the month.
View full sizeLisa DeJong, The Plain DealerDean Heisey has dug up all kinds of artifacts like skeleton keys, a perfume bottle, silver ware and a deputy marshal badge. Heisey has spent the last decade hunting for treasures with his metal detector.
At the May meeting, some of the best finds were a copper nickel, an Indian head penny and a 1905 Barber dime.
The element of surprise is what makes Heisey so devoted to detecting, which he has been doing for 12 years.
"The biggest thing is being surprised by what comes out of the ground," said the 58-year-old Madison resident. "Finding old artifacts is a lot of fun."
Their discoveries were made anywhere they could get access and permission to use land, such as beaches, local parks and old picnic areas.
The club was formed in 1989. Members come from across the region, from the West Side of Cleveland to as far away as Pennsylvania. Annual membership fees range from$20 to $30.
Heisey, who has been a member for 12 years, is now the club's "Hunt Master," responsible for finding places for the hunts.
"Picking a site requires research," said Heisey, the manager at Geneva State Marina. "Other times it is just based on whatever sites you run across."
Some people even go as far afield as England to find their treasure.
"You can find tour groups over the Internet," Heisey said.
On one trip to England, Heisey found Roman and gold coins, clothing and artifacts in a farm field. England is an ideal hunt location because whatever the hunter finds that is of significant value, the British government will pay for. The hunter and the owner of the land where it was found both get money.
Heisey almost never sells his finds.
"I hold on to them because they become more valuable with time," Heisey said.
His favorites are Civil War items and an 1896 William McKinley campaign token.
"The older the better," said Heisey.
One club member found a diamond bracelet worth $7,200.
Metal-detecting equipment can run anywhere from $1,000 to $1,200. Besides the detector, what a treasure hunter needs is patience.
"People usually get frustrated with it [the metal detector]," Heisey said. "Then the machines end up on eBay."
Heisey knew nothing about metal detecting when he joined the club. Club members taught him.
The same was true for club President John Perkovich, who joined the group eight years ago. "I didn't have any experience prior to this except for once or twice when I was a kid," the 45-year-old Mentor resident said. "But it was always in the back of my mind to find things."
As a full-time home designer and the owner of Draftsman Brewing, a company that sells supplies to beer and wine makers, Perkovich would love to go detecting 24 hours a day, seven days a week, but he gets in only four to six hours a week.
His passion for detecting even took him all the way to Virginia, where he found Civil War bullets, and to England, where he found his favorite piece: a silver Roman Emperor Tiberius coin from 14 A.D.
"It's fascinating to hold something 200 or 1,000 years old that someone else lost," Perkovich said.
Perkovich said that he and other club members have picked over most of the parks in the area. Now he prefers to try old home sites to search for coins to add to his growing collection. Some of his coins are displayed in cases on tables or hanging on the walls.
"Some are accumulating in boxes," Perkovich said. "Sometimes I'll pull them out and show them off."
But the club is not just for fun.
One club member helped a woman locate her missing wedding and engagement rings in May. She was so overwhelmed when he found them that she gave him $50.
"We have had people call us to find missing keys," said George Krenisky, 63, of North Kingsville in Ashtabula County. "The police have even called us to help them find shells."

Of course Maker Faire was loaded up with 3D printers, but we're no longer in the era of a 3D printer in every single booth. Filament-based printers are passé, but that doesn't mean there's no new technology to demonstrate. This year, it was stereolithography and other resin-based printers. Here's the roundup of each and every one displayed at the faire, and the reason it's still not prime time for resin-based printers.
Of course the Formlabs Form 1+ was presented at the Bay Area Maker Faire. They were one of the first SLA printers on the market, and they've jumped through enough legal hoops to be able to call themselves the current kings of low-cost laser and resin printing. There were a few new companies and products at the Faire vying for the top spot, and this is where things get interesting.
The folks at Formlabs displayed the only functional print of all the resin-based 3D printing companies – a tiny, tiny Philco Predicta stuffed with an LCD displaying composite video. The display is covered by a 3D printed lens/window. That's the closest you're going to get to an optically clear 3D printed part at the Faire.
XYZPrinting, the company famous for the $500 printer that follows the Gillette model: sell the printer cheap, sell expensive replacement filament cartridges, and laugh all the way to the bank. Resetting the DRM on the XYZPrinting Da Vinci printer is easy, the proprietary host software is done away with, and bricked devices are not. Time for a new market, huh?
Enter the XYZPrinting Nobel, a resin printer that uses lasers to solidify parts 25 microns at a time. The build volume is 125x125x200mm (5x5x7.9″), with an X and Y resolution of 300 microns. Everything prints out just as you would expect. As far as laser resin printers go, it's incredibly cheap: $1500. It does, however, use XYZware, the proprietary toolchain forced upon Da Vinci users, although the Nobel is a stand-alone printer that can pull a .STL file from a USB drive and turn it into an object without a computer. There was no mention of how – or if – this printer is locked down.
This Shrek is the highest resolution 3D printed object I've ever seen.
You've seen the cheapest, now check out the most expensive. It's the DWS Lab XFAB, an enormous and impressive machine that has incredible resolution, a huge build area, and when you take into account other resin printers, a price approaching insanity.
First, the price: $5000 officially, although I heard rumors of $6500 around the 3D printing tent. No, it's not for sale yet – they're still in beta testing. Compare that to the Formlabs Form 1+ at $3300, or the XYZPrinting Nobel at $1500, and you would expect this printer to be incredible. You would be right.
The minimum feature size of the XFAB is 80 microns, and can slice down to 10 microns. Compare that to the 300 micron feature size of the Form 1+ and Nobel, and even on paper, you can tell they really have something here. Looking at the sample prints, they do. These are simply the highest resolution 3D printed objects I've ever seen. The quality of the prints compares to the finest resin cast objects, machined plastic, or any other manufacturing process. If you're looking for a printer for very, very high quality work, this is what you need.
Also on display – but not in the 3D printing booth, for some reason – was the Sharebot Voyager. Unlike all the printers described above, this is a DLP printer; instead of lasers and galvos, the Voyager uses an off-the-shelf 3D DLP projector to harden layers of resin.
Strangely, the Sharebot Voyager was stuck in either the Atmel or the Arduino.cc (the [Massimo] one) booth. The printing area is a bit small – 56x96x100mm, but the resolution – on paper, mind you – goes beyond what the most expensive laser and galvo printers can manage: 50 microns in the X and Y axes, 20 to 100 microns in the Z. Compare that figure to the XFAB's 80 micron minimum feature size, and you begin to see the genius of using a DLP projector.
The Sharebot Voyager is fully controllable over the web thanks to a 1.5GHz quad core, 1GB RAM computer that I believe is running 32 bit Windows. Yes, the spec sheet said OS: 32 bit Windows.
There were no sample prints, no price, and no expected release date. It is, for all intents and purposes, vaporware. I've seen it, I've taken pictures of it, but I've done that for a lot of products that never made it to market.
Taking a gander over all the resin-based 3D printers, you start to pick up on a few common themes. All the software is proprietary, and there is no open source solution for either moving galvos, lasers, or displaying images on a DLP projector correctly to run a resin-based machine. Yes, you heard it here first: it's the first time in history Open Source hardware folk are ahead of the Open Source software folk. Honestly, open source resin printer hosts is something that should have been done years ago.
This will change in just a few months. A scary, tattooed little bird told me there will soon be an open source solution to printing in resin by the Detroit Maker Faire. Then, finally, the deluge of resin.

Central-east Mexico gave birth to the domesticated chili pepper — now the world's most widely grown spice crop — reports an international team of researchers, led by a plant scientist at the University of California, Davis.
Results from the four-pronged investigation — based on linguistic and ecological evidence as well as the more traditional archaeological and genetic data — suggest a regional, rather than a geographically specific, birthplace for the domesticated chili pepper. That region, extending from southern Puebla and northern Oaxaca to southeastern Veracruz, is further south than was previously thought, the researchers found.
The region also is different from areas of origin that have been suggested for common bean and corn, which were presumably domesticated in Western Mexico.
The study findings will be published online April 21 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, as part of a series of research papers on plant and animal domestication.
Crop domestication, the process of selectively breeding a wild plant or animal species, is of increasing interest to scientists.
"Identifying the origin of the chili pepper is not just an academic exercise," said UC Davis plant scientist Paul Gepts, the study's senior author. "By tracing back the ancestry of any domesticated plant, we can better understand the genetic evolution of that species and the origin of agriculture — a major step in human evolution in different regions of the world," he said.
"This information, in turn, better equips us to develop sound genetic conservation programs and increases the efficiency of breeding programs, which will be critically important as we work to deal with climate change and provide food for a rapidly increasing global population," Gepts added.
Study co-author Gary P. Nabhan, an ethnobiologist and agroecologist at the University of Arizona's Southwest Center noted: "This is the first research ever to integrate multiple lines of evidence in attempts to pinpoint where, when, under what ecological conditions, and by whom a major global spice plant was domesticated.
"In fact, this may be the only crop-origins research to have ever predicted the probable first cultivators of one of the world's most important food crops," Nabhan said.
To determine crop origins, scientists have traditionally studied the plants' genetic makeup in geographic areas where they have observed high diversity among the crop's wild ancestors. More recently, they have also examined archaeological remains of plants, including pollen, starch grains and even mineralized plant secretions.
For this chili pepper study, the researchers used these two traditional approaches but also considered historical languages, looking for the earliest linguistic evidence that a cultivated chili pepper existed.
They also developed a model for the distribution of related plant species, to predict the areas most environmentally suitable for the chili pepper and its wild ancestors.
The genetic evidence seemed to point more to northeastern Mexico as the chili pepper's area of domestication; however there was collectively more evidence from all four lines of study supporting the central-east region as the area of origin.
Other researchers on the study were Kraig H. Kraft and Robert J. Hijmans, both of UC Davis; Cecil H. Brown of Northern Illinois University in DeKalb, Ill.; Eike Luedeling of the World Agroforestry Centre in Nairobi, Kenya; José de Jesús Luna Ruiz of the Universidad Autónoma de Aguascalientes in Aguascalientes, Mex.; and Geo Coppens d'Eeckenbrugge of the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique in Montpellier, France.
Funding for the study was provided by the Fulbright Program, the University of California Institute for Mexico and the United States, and the UC Davis Department of Plant Sciences.


Sure wine country is romantic, but now it's a surprisingly great destination for families too, with a growing number of vineyards trading in elegant tasting rooms for child-friendly fun zones that happen to also pour amazing wines for the grownups. The boom in craft breweries has also been a boom for families, with brewing facilities including not just tasting rooms, but inviting outdoor spaces, special family-friendly tours, and restaurants offering special children's menus. Some places even have tail-wagging dogs that welcome a good scratch behind the ears.
On the search for great beer in the City by the Bay, but taking your little ones along? Head for this handsomely restored 1930s era building overlooking San Francisco's Ocean Beach. Look at the lobby's remarkable original murals, but ignore the signs directing you to the more formal upstairs restaurant.
Instead, head straight back to the Beach Chalet's inviting garden, which seems to meld into the forests of Golden Gate Park. Children love to dash around the open space while you order a house brew or choose from a wide array of California wines by the glass. Can't decide which beer to try? The sampler set is for you.
For a fun road trip with something for everyone, wind into wine country north of Santa Barbara to this elegant estate. There are delicious wines for grown-ups, including a complex Syrah, with hints of blackberry and mocha, and Roussane, an unusual white with apricot, fig, and honey notes, but there is also a giant chessboard with life size pieces. If the children don't know how to play chess, just use the pieces for draughts. Get beautiful views and a nice dose of nature on inviting trails to deep pools of shade beneath handsome live oaks.
Plan ahead and pack a picnic, including meats and other items for grilling (on-site grills and picnic tables are open to all). Or, on most summer and holiday weekends, enjoy creative fare from local food trucks while local singers and musicians perform on the lawn.

A new car is one of the most important purchases you need to make. Your car has to get you wherever you need to be, and it needs to not be too much of a drain on your finances. If you've set yourself a budget, you're likely wondering how you can make the most of the money you have available. If you want to get more car for your money, follow the tips below.
Buying a used car is obviously one of the best ways to make savings on your vehicle. As soon as a brand new car leaves the dealer's lot, it's suddenly worth less than it was a minute ago. Even if you buy a used car that's relatively new, you could still make some significant savings.
All cars depreciate in value, which means you'll always be selling for less than you bought it for. But some cars depreciate less than others do, and they're worth considering for your next purchase. For example, Minis, Audis, and Volkswagens hold their value well.
There's usually an opportunity for negotiating when you buy a new car. You can haggle the price or try to get some extra features thrown in. But to come out of it successfully, you have to be aware of some of the tricks a car dealer might try to play. They want to make a sale, but they also want you to spend more.
If you want a better car for less, leasing could be the right option for you. You could save money on monthly payments, and you can easily swap your car for another one later on.


BALTIMORE — Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco is heading West.
The former Super Bowl MVP award winner is heading to the Denver Broncos in a trade, according to NFL insider Adam Schefter.
The trade cannot be processed until the new NFL league year begins on March 13, but the teams have reportedly agreed on the terms of the deal, Schefter says.
Flacco lost his starting job with the Ravens when he suffered a hip injury last November, allowing Lamar Jackson, Baltimore's 2018 first-round draft pick, to take over under center. The team was 3-5 at the time.
Jackson led the Ravens to an AFC North Division title and a berth in the NFL playoffs, completing 99 of 170 passes for 1,201 yards and six touchdowns and rushing for 695 yards and five TDs.


The STOP program is delivered by a team of health care providers, with specialized training in smoking cessation, who interact closely with you and your physician. Patients who are enrolled in the STOP (Smoking Treatment for Ontario Patients) Study will receive nicotine replacement therapy, including nicotine gum, lozenges, inhalers, mouth spray and/or patches, free of charge and be supported throughout the quitting process.
Appointments for the program are booked by calling the STOP Line at 705 737-9539. You will be asked to leave some information about yourself on our answering machine, and a member of our team will follow up with you (usually within 1-2 business days) to book your appointment, provided you meet the criteria for the program.
Your doctor, or other health care provider, may also recommend that you attend the program. However, we will not book your appointment until you have contacted us yourself, by calling the STOP line (number listed above).

Increase your physical activity level. Exercise is a healthy alternative to smoking, it can take your mind off your cravings, it can help your mood and energy level, and it can help keep off extra weight. Go outside for a walk instead of a smoke. If you are new to exercising, start slowly. A walk around the block is a good start.
Cravings are short but intense urges to smoke. When a craving hits, it usually only lasts between 3 and 5 minutes. Make a list of ways to beat cravings using the 4 Ds Strategy: Delay (Your craving will pass soon), Distract (Do something different), Deep breaths (Relax and focus), Drink water (Keep your mouth and hands busy).
Believe in yourself and your ability to stop smoking. Stay positive. Quitting smoking gets easier with practice. Every time you try to quit, you boost your chances of quitting for good. Most people who've quit smoking forever had to try 5 or 6 times before they could quit for good. This is normal.
Try to figure out what the barriers are to your quitting. Consider avoiding people and situations where you will be tempted to smoke. If you usually smoke in a certain chair, don't sit in that chair. If you usually smoke at a nightclub, avoid that nightclub for a while. Change your usual routine, so your new routine doesn't include smoking.
Take it one day at a time. Remind yourself that once the withdrawal is over, you'll feel better than you have in years. You deserve to feel better!
If you've tried quitting smoking before but couldn't do it, try again. Each time you try, it will get easier. You will be one step closer to quitting for good!

Sex Appeal (2022) Review: Mika Abdalla Starrer Serves a Dry Plate Of Sex and Humour
Manjima Das
Hulu's Sex Appeal tries to be a mix of Netflix's Sex Education and, all the 90s rom-com we are familiar with. Directed by Talia Osteen and written by Tate Hanyok, the Hulu original stars Mika Abdalla as the protagonist Avery Hansen-White along with Paris Jackson, Fortune Feimster, Paisley Herrera, Margaret Cho, Jake Short and others. The film has a runtime of 1 hour 30 minutes.
– Hulu's Sex Appeal review does not contain spoilers –
Sex Appeal: Gives a Sex Positive Message But Does Not Stand Out
Sex Appeal revolves around the life of high school perfectionist Avery Hansen-White (Mika Abdulla's character), an airtight A grade student whose high school nerd prom event is the upcoming STEM conference. STEMCON is a dedicated competition for students to prove their excellence in the field of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics by completing a challenge provided 30 days before the event.
This year the competition demands you to make an app based on your life's personal problem. Avery, who lives a seemingly perfect life is bewildered by the topic and, it is not until her long-distance boyfriend suggests that they have sex during the upcoming STEM conference, is Avery taken aback by the fact that her (and, a lot of people's) primary issue in life is to have the perfect sexual experience with their partners.
Driven by her personal and academic needs, Avery enlists the help of her childhood friend, Larson (played by Jake Short), to discover all the elemental needs that build-up to the most wholesome sexual experience. But, if the plot goes according to plan or if there are some feelings that rise above sex to derail it is for the audience's delight to find out!

Sex Appeal draws inspiration and tries to mimic Netflix's iconic Sex Education to stand on its own feet. Avery is similar to Otis in her quest to understand sex, foreplay, orgasms and everything associated with it. However, as sweet as our beloved Otis is, Avery is insufferable for the most part of the film. Her using Larson to "obtain data for her app" (even though with consent) is unkind, callous and, a very entitled move. For a character to realize if he/she cares for a person or not, they necessarily don't need to go through an arc of hurting the other person.
Even though the film is sex-positive in imparting sexual knowledge with dialogues like learning sex from porn is similar to learning driving from Fast and Furious films, it still is regressive in the treatment of the people from the LGBTQ+ community. Avery, who has grown up with three lesbian mothers is toneless about the community's sexual urges and ways and, disrespects it by comparing it to the heterosexual stereotype of sex.

However, the most interesting part and, a fair part of the film is the ending that does not stink or entitle our protagonist. But, serves as a true lesson of 'you sow what you reap'.
Sex Appeal: Final Verdict
Sex Appeal is a quick, one time watch to understand the dimensions of sex and, how love is always the key ingredient of all. Mika Abdulla and Jake Short are really good in their roles, along with some nerdy math class craking equational sex jokes. Yet, it is a film one can do without in terms of being a sex comedy.
You can watch the Hulu original Sex Appeal now streaming on Hulu.
