The episode begins with a story of being spotted reading Gillian Anderson’s Want in public, opening into a conversation about the ways women construct intimacy when no one is watching.

Between a Nigerian Christian and an Irish Catholic, the conversation around fantasy quickly unfolds. Amile & Phoebe explore confession, contradiction & cultural taboo. They also discuss the complexity of desire & the various tropes (ergo moments of cringe) that shape it.

This episode pairs well with:

• Want by Gillian Anderson
• Three Women by Lisa Taddeo
• The Sex Lives of African Women by Nana Darkoa Sekyiamah
• My Secret Garden by Nancy Friday
• A dark negroni, with a single maraschino cherry.
• Finally booking that boudoir photoshoot for your birthday.
• Using your journal to write down the thoughts you were never meant to say out loud.

Happy listening,

A&P
