A OK

In this episode, we talk with playwright, performer, and theater artist Beth Ann Powers (she/her) about asexuality and aromanticism. We discuss the relationship between Christianity and sexuality, highlighting the difference between celibacy by choice and coming out as ace, and we celebrate the importance of platonic relationships and confront their lackluster portrayal in the media.

In our first ever episode of A OK, we talk with poet and visual artist Jasper Hardin (they/them) about asexuality, bi-romanticism, and polyamory. Jasper tells us how being an asexual partner in romantic relationships influences intimacy, the spectrum of platonic relationships, and how polyamory fits into it all. We also expose how rape-culture affects asexuals specifically while exploring the assumptions of trauma and its affect on sexuality.
