Sweetest Taboo

Why do we crave novelty between the sheets—and how do we make space for it in our relationships?

In this episode, we’re joined by feminist activist and host of Insolentes podcast, Alejandra Campollo, to talk about sexual variety: what it means, why it matters, and how it shows up in our lives. From the politics of desire to the everyday practices that shape our pleasure, we ask:

How many ways are there to want? 

Is the urge for variety natural—or cultural? 

And what happens when the stories we’ve been told about love and loyalty don’t match how we feel?

Tune in for a tender, honest, and sharp conversation about identity, exploration, and the many forms of desire.

In today’s episode we are diving into the intersection of Sex and Romance. After a few episodes, we know (roughly) what sex is, but what is romance? If we look for the definition of it in the dictionary the word can represent various concepts: a feeling of excitement associated with love, a story, and exciting and short-lived love affair, a genre of fiction, and the list goes on and on. Romance can be a noun, an adjective and a verb.

What if I told you that nature could be your lover, not just your mother? Ecosexuality invites us to strip down—emotionally, spiritually, and sometimes literally—and feel the Earth in ways we’ve never imagined. From the wind caressing your skin to the thrill of touching the soil, it’s about merging with the planet in an intimate, erotic dance. But while we’re getting cosy with nature, we need to ask: What does 'natural' really mean? This word gets thrown around to define what’s “right” or “pure,” but who decides what’s natural, and why does it shape so much of our lives?

In this episode of Sweetest Taboo, Yes and Charlott continue to explore the deep entanglement of capitalism and sexuality. Yes delves into the world of pornography, examining how the need for distance and mystique is essential to cultivating desire, while the current era of transparency strips away the theatrics that once shaped love and pleasure. Charlott, on the other hand, discusses how rampant consumerism, neoliberalism, and anti-sex Puritanism have distorted human connections under capitalism. As sex becomes just another task in the endless cycle of labor, the notion of sexual labor expands to include anyone who views sex as work. Together, they explore how sexual experiences are often framed through this lens of labor, challenging conventional ideas of desire and intimacy.
