What if it was okay that you don't want to have sex? In this one, Ev'Yan speaks with Angela Chen (author of Ace) about asexuality and ace liberation. Angela debunks a lot of myths about asexuality and educates us on how nuanced the Ace spectrum is. She talks about the fluidity of desire and how we don’t need to pathologize those who don’t have much of it; the connection between sexual trauma and Aceness; and how asexuality can offer us a flexible, fluid perspective of sexual desire. Ev'Yan also shares very candidly about her experience of realizing that, after all this time denying it, she is on the Ace spectrum.

When was the last time you were intentional about your solitude? In this one, Ev'Yan speaks with Jordi—artist, storyteller, facilitator, author—about what it looks like to intentionally carve out time to be alone, and what you can find when you create space to be quiet and listen to yourself. They speak about moon cycles, boundaries within technology, and learning to drop into your needs, wants, and desires separate from the needs and gazes of others. At the end, Ev'Yan shares a sensual practice to help you carve out some alone time with yourself.

In this one, Ev'Yan sits down with Cameron Glover (@thecameronglover) to talk about the sex educational field—what sex education is and means, how to get started, and what you should consider before getting into it yourself.
