hello hellooo!!

recently, i've been reflecting on hook-up culture and the future of monogamy. i feel like every fourth person is talking to me about someone they met on one of "the apps" whether that's Tinder, Grindr, Bumble, etc. And I think that there are some issues that we have to watch out for when body-based apps are how people are meeting people and putting themselves out there. Also! I think it's important we all remember that modern hook-up culture takes its roots in queer spaces, specifically the piers in New York City in the 70s and 80s. consent and safety are always topics to bring up when talking about sex whether we're having sex with our partner of 20 years in our bedroom or with a stranger in the bathroom of a club. can body centric apps be an avenue for sexual liberation? how is the prevalence of the "type" playing into all of this? i'm exploring all of this in this episode and i hope you enjoy. Safe Sex Is Hot Sex my friends!!
