Can Sex and Kink help you manage Pain? Sex and Disability activist Caz Killjoy is busy scribbing down future plans in a bar, and it’s like honey to the bees; these guys are INTO being ignored. They just keeping comin’! So at closing time, Caz heads back to a hotel room for a night of wild sex with identical twins - wait, whose hand is that? And which orifice is it in? But when Caz wakes up with a massive pain in the ass, their whole life changes: Dismissive general practitioners become physical therapists then rheumatologists, acupuncturists, orthopedists, psychiatrists, chiropractors… It takes years for the medical community to provide an answer. UPDATE: Caz’ big reveal on our Livestream leads to a Bawdy audience member’s diagnosis, too. Details make the story, and stories change lives! #Faceblind #Neurocognitive #Bendy
Hosted by Sexual Folklorist Dixie De La Tour
Opening Music: 8 Miles Wide by Storm Large
Song: ‘Lowkey F2020’ (Avenue Beat)
