Pagpapatuloy lamang ito ng ating maharot na kikihan with drag super queens Miss Clea Torres and Miss Maria Christina ng Drag Den PH!

Matapang nilang sasagutin ang mga nabiting issues from the previous episode like having sex in drag, the business of tucking and the inevitable 'accidents', at ang laban at pakikipagtagisan ng galing, ganda, at talento ng mga Pinoy drag artists versus the best of the rest of the world. Alamin natin: may laban nga ba ang mga reynang Pinoy versus the likes of Bob the Drag Queen, Monet X Change, Violet Chachki, Bianca Del Rio?

Bukod sa pinapili din natin sila ng mga crushes nila na ibang drag queens, pinakwento natin sa kanila ang isang advocacy na malapit sa kanila mga puso: ang patataguyod ng mental wellness, dahil very active ang participation nila sa mental health ventures ng LoveYourselfPH. Mga woke queens nga silang tunay!

Must-listen ang 2-episode serving of artistic realness ng Project for aspiring drag artists and creative minds. Clear the runway, tuck your prejudices away, and prepare to wow-ed and, ehem, blown away!

Confidence. Honesty. Uniqueness. Perseverance. Authenticity.

Jan magaling  ang ating mga Bessies! At shempre, hindi magpapahuli ang ating mga panauhing pandangal sa project na ito - Philippine drag royalty, SpacesMNL stalwart Miss Clea Torres and Drag Den PH's  Miss Maria Christina (the artist formerly known as MC BLCK).

As two of the country's premiere drag artists, these two ladies school us on Philippine drag her-story and drag in the time of a pandemic. They kiki with us about why they got into drag, what they get out of it, and how they deal with a (sometimes) toxic fan base. They identify where the current center of drag is and kung may rivalry nga ba among drag artists from different parts of the country.

At mga drag pushers din pala ang ating mga guests dahil, aside from the fact na may mga tine-train silang mga drag babies sa kanilang Drag Academy ng Spaces MNL, they will also share with us their very personal process of creating their own drag personas. Choices! Choices!

Mapaamin kaya natin sila kung may balak ba silang sumali sa mga international drag reality competitions? Pero part one pa lang ito, Bes! Hindi pa sila maglalakad patalikod at tatawagin ang mahiwagang name ni Miss Vangie-Miss Vangie Labalan dahil may parating pang part two!

Do you need to divorce your sexuality to embrace your spirituality? 

The universality of the adage that sexuality and spirituality are two poles on a spectrum that never meet is even more true if you are queer. Many times, you are told that your orientation is not welcome at church, or that you are not queer enough to be part of your own community because you are 'religious'. 
 
 It is frustrating and hurtful as a queer person to be seen and treated based solely on one’s sexuality, while society chooses to ignore other facets of your humanity. When it doesn’t matter if you are the diligent breadwinner of your family, a loving son or daughter, a doting parent, a caring sibling, a dependable friend, a law-abiding citizen – and all that matters is that you love somebody they deem not suitable for you based on their personal interpretation of a book that has suffered innumerable translations for two millennia – you start to wonder if the concept of “god” is what they say it is. 

As part of our Usapang+Sex Series, the Project speaks to Nancy Shadlock on how she has somehow managed to come to terms with both aspects of her persona to live a life with a semblance of peace.  Nancy is a former pastor with a Master’s degree in Spiritual Formation, and perhaps more importantly, a proud queer woman, married with two kids.

Bessie, if it’s worth anything, we want to remind you that you are beautiful and amazing, and that there is an intrinsic goodness that comes from within you no matter how people have treated you.

And never let anybody tell you otherwise.

Are you a queer couple looking to raise a family? A single person ready to experience parenthood minus the pressure of a relationship? Are you a healthy male who wants to help people achieve their dreams of becoming parents?

Adam Hooper has built Sperm Donation World, a worldwide community that might make it easier for those wanting to start a family the non-traditional way.

Adam shares what you need to do to join the community and highlights what he sees as differences between the SDW community versus traditional sperm donation clinics. He also addresses issues that you might be wanting to know about such as who might be good candidates for donors and recipients, the future of artificial conception and challenges. Adam shares with us his experiences with Filipinos in the community and how in need we really are of appropriate sex education.

Guess what Adam says is the most important trait to bring to the table when joining the community? Honesty.

At may nai-share pa si Adam na kahihiyan na ginawa ang ilan sa mga kapatid nating beki dito sa Pinas na sukat ba naman daw humingi ng sperm sa mga afam! Tignan natin kung ma-detect nyo ang crickets nung hindi kami naka-imik during the interview! Di kami naka-ispluk sa kahihiyan!

Click play na, mga Bes, and see what your options are if you're ready to start a family!

(This project has marked 'chapters' for your convenience.)

MATURE CONTENT WARNING.

Okay, Bessie, go ahead. Check out her videos on Pornhub. We'll wait.

Done? So that's Coralyn Jewel, porn star. MILF kung MILF ang  peg, diba? But there's more to her than just being a prolific adult film actress. She's also a published author, neck-deep into writing a follow-up to her international bestseller When The Ice Melts which chronicled her journey from being an Olympic ice figure skater hopeful to porn actress.

Coralyn invites us to take a peek at her life in porn, how she got started, retired, and got back into the business again. This is a no-holds-barred kiki about what she thinks people's common misconceptions about porn are, her pet peeves about the business, her limits during scenes, and her proposed advocacies for the adult film industry amidst these trying times.

Coralyn also talks about the many other roles she plays - swinger's club owner and hostess, sought-after wedding planner, podcast host, and certainly not least of all, mother.

This project is still in line with our podcast's aim to demystify the work that people do that involve sex and human sexuality and to normalize conversations surrounding them. 

To keep track of all of Coralyn's ventures, visit her website here.

Today is the last day of September, Suicide Prevention Month.

We opted to release this bonus episode as a reminder to everyone how suicide has become so prevalent in society that it is now vital for each of us to be more mindful of how our friends and loved ones are doing in these very stressful times - every single day.

Death is a difficult conversation, most especially in Philippine culture where it is considered morbid and even taboo. Perhaps, this has contributed to some Filipinos' trepidation in opening up regarding their thoughts and feelings about the subject matter because they are often dismissed and avoided.

 This is a purely raw and unedited recording (apart from the intro and outro) of Mel and Geoff just having an unguarded conversation prior to a recording session reflecting on a friend's death by suicide and its effect on family and friends. They talk about learning about the deaths of other people, both celebrities and unknown, and how death - and life - should never be taken for granted.

It is our humble aim to encourage other Filipinos to open up about their feelings so that they can be properly supported. It is important to normalize - not trivialize - these conversations. It is not enough to join the "it is okay to not be okay" bandwagon without offering the needed support and assistance. The lack of available and free mental health services in the country is lamentable enough. Our culture of avoidance and dismissiveness do not help. Check up on your loved ones, no matter how "okay" they may seem.

MATURE CONTENT WARNING. Push lang ng push to normalize contextual conversations about sex and our sexuality and to fight the demonization of our bodies.

Let's sort out common myths and fallacies about the penis and figure out fact from fake.  At alamin natin kung aling mga bansa ang pasok sa Top 10 ng largest and smallest penises in the world? May Pinoy pride ba pagdating sa battle of the world's largest titi? Ano nga ba ang number one determinant ng penis size? 

Makikipagsabayan din tayo sa ibang podcasts with our own unique take on the audio-horror genre sa pamamagitan ng ating TITI NG LAGIM - horror stories involving the penis, including erectile dysfunction. And because Christmas is just several jingle balls, este, bells away, pag-usapan natin ang ibat'-ibang mga PALAMUTITI or penile ornaments!

It's time for the titi to take center stage sa ating Usapang+Sex Series!

His  phone rang at four in the morning. Richard  was in Hong Kong . He thought family calling from Germany might have just forgotten about the time difference. The next morning he returns the call only to be told of the news that no father would ever wish to hear: his daughter Emma, 21 years young, had taken her own life.

September is officially Suicide Prevention Month. Every month should be suicide prevention month. Every day should be suicide prevention day. 

In our continuing effort to normalize conversations about mental health among Filipinos, we talk to Richard Wickes - teacher, psychologist, Tai-Chi master, and father - to learn about his ongoing journey towards coming to terms with the guilt, anger and pain, and making sense of the loss of his "Daddy's girl'.

Sources:
1. 3.3 million Pinoys suffer from depression.
2. Suicide is the 27th leading cause of death in the PH.
3. Groups slam gov't for relying on religious leaders as suicide cases rise in PH

Erratum:
Our goal must be to reduce the taboo and stigma surrounding suicide. To do so, we must update our language. We must stop using words or phrases such as, ‘committed suicide’, and instead say "died by suicide".
