We get into queer history and sexual narratives.

We open with a piece of local Finnish queer history that relates to Queer as Folk in a surprising way! Then we head off into some sex talk: specifically sex acts seen in Queer as Folk and sexual narratives in general.

On a more personal note: Is it possible to re-write the sexual scripts that culture has taught us? And what is the difference between wanting sex and wanting orgasms? Towards the end we come back to the actual tv-show and talk about Stuarts online manhunt and the man he orders off the menu: “goodfuk” or Responsible Colin, as we call him.
