  • The Sexy One
    In this episode, Mari and MD go in-depth *pun intended* on sex: the problem of limited sex ed, what things need to be discussed, and how to protect yourself before you have intercourse.
    We apologize in advance for the slightly cishet skew at the beginning of the episode: we've been having nothing but cis M/W sex for years now.
    NOTE: We are going on hiatus for a couple of weeks after the release of this episode, given the geographical difficulties in recording an episode. We will be back soon with more BiPositive+ content!
