If you follow us on social media, there's a good chance that you're already familiar with Caitlin.

October 02, 2021 They'll Undress You, But They Won't Dress You With Amanda Baker
PSA, the audio may sound a little wonky in this episode. It's often assumed that disabled people either can't have sex, or don't want to. We talk about Amanda's experiences with men and pickup lines at karaoke bars. We discuss caregiving in relationships, how sexual partners are turned off by navigating that space, and what it's like to ask a personal caregiver to help you get ready to do the dirty.
