Episode 368: Lux Alptraum


Listen Later

In Faking It, Lux Alptraum explores a wide range of lies about sex, from faked orgasms to sexual assault. It’s a powerful statement that spans the wide range of her many years of writing about sex — the good, the bad, the unspoken. As an author, her work has appeared in a wide range of outlets, including The New York Times and the Guardian. She also served as the editor of Fleshbot, a pop culture sex site formerly operated under the Gawker Media banner. Following the release of Faking it, Alptraum joined us to discuss lies, reproductive rights and writing about sex in the era of Trump and #MeToo.
