March 08, 2021 The Goodies
Let's get physical, physical! International Women's Day, Harlem's Heroes sit down with three vibrant and brilliant young women to discuss how they deal with the social pressures ascribed to sex; everyone's favorite pastime. Or, is it?

One such guest is Brianda Agramonte (@thatsbrianda), an actress, songwriter, and podcaster who has been celibate for three years and has a lot to say about its benefits especially for other women. Beside her is music journalist Zoë Cherry (@CountBlaccula) with her perspective as a queer-identified woman currently experiencing a period of abstinence--which is distinct from celibacy, and which we will define for you! Fear not!

And beside us is Homie of the Show, our Queens Correspondent: ¡ABRIL!

This is our most NSFW episode yet, you have been warned! Also, content/trigger warning for sexual coercion discussed in peripheral detail from 23:40-26:05.

FEAT. A very exclusive and exciting scoop from Brianda at the tail end of the episode...
