Sarah and Robin explore the feminine tropes that shape cultures expectations of women - the damsel in distress, the vamp, the mother/good wife and more recently the trope that they are both loving - the childless cat lady. Robin shares the history of the vamp, which was initiated by silent film star Theda Bara, who Robin pays tribute to with a new prayer candle. Sarah shares about a recent caregiving experience that kicked up the human giver in her (in a surprisingly good way).

This week we're mashing up past segments about a common thread that comes up in our conversations - containers! What is the benefit of creating a safe container for sex, kink or intimacy? We answer this question in compiled segments from Season 2 Episode 14 F*ck Yeah to Shameless Sex with Amy Baldwin followed by a clip from our appearance on the Shameless Sex podcast. We apply a famous playground study to kink play, explore an intimate eye-gazing exercise from renowned tantra educator, Barbara Carellas, and Sarah reports back on trying Amy Baldwin's inner beast exercise.

Sarah and Robin catch about seeing RuPaul's Drag Race All Star's live show for Robin's birthday - the amazing performances, the hostess with the most Shanell, the unbelievable costumes, the political nature of the show, and the cringe commercials woven into the spectacle. Sarah gets curious about Robin's friendly approach to kink and how she weaves kink play into her friendships. Robin shares her tools for approaching kink as a platonic container.

Check out our IG and TT to see the iconic drag race-inspired costume Robin put together for her birthday outing.

We close out Season 3 with longtime friend of the pod and iconic artist, Cassils. We talk about the trajectory of Cassils's art career starting with early childhood paintings on genitals, to putting their body through peril as a means of waking up viewers to the struggles of the queer and trans experience. In Cassils's view, history does not repeat itself, but it rhymes. Their work is not only a vehicle for social change, it is steeped in the tactics of queer artist/activists of the 70s and 80s. Cassils uses their body heavily in their work, sometimes putting themself in precarious situations to convey the urgency and immediacy of the issues they are tackling. Cassils most recent piece draws inspiration from die-ins and the AIDS quilt. They will create a large scale cyanotype for Trans Day of Visibility at the end of the month at the Lincoln Memorial on the Mall in Washington D.C. Our conversation touches on a number of Cassils' pieces including Human Measure, Becoming an Image, In Plain Sight and and the throughline they weave through each. Their upcoming action with the NCET will take place on March 31st in D.C. To learn more about Cassils (or to take part in their TDOV action) visit their site -www.cassils.net - or follow them on IG @cassilsartist

CASSILS is a transgender artist who makes their own body the material and protagonist of their performances. Cassils's art contemplates the history(s) of LGBTQI+ violence, representation, struggle and survival. For Cassils, performance is a form of social sculpture: Drawing from the idea that bodies are formed in relation to forces of power and social expectations, Cassils work investigates historical contexts to examine the present moment.

Sarah and Robin are exploring fantasies in this penultimate episode of season 3. They break down what constitutes a fantasy with help from the classic guide The Erotic Mind by Jack Morin, deconstruct some of their own fantasies, answer the question "does Sarah even fantasize?" and talk through the process of reconstructing fantasies that feel outdated or misaligned with your current erotic self. Robin introduces Sarah to the meaning of Cathexis and how it's different from love and the poem Manic Pixie Dream Girl by Olivia Gatwood, and Sarah introduces Robin to a segment about delightfully gay dolphins. This episode features a vulva from @kokieca and the coining of the term "embodied fantasy"!
