To say that Mark S. King has been busy during the 59 years he’s been on this planet would be an understatement. Not only has he spent much of his life working as an award-winning HIV/AIDS activist and journalist, but he’s also slept with close to 10,000 men. On this episode, Mark walks us through his journey from sexual neophyte coming of age in the South during the 1960s to connoisseur of all that New Orleans' bathhouses had to offer in the ’70s to, finally, his current life as a happy husband in a monogamous relationship. He also tells how contracting HIV in the ’80s and watching his community be ravished by the disease affected his sex life ― but maybe not in the way you might expect. <hr> Hosted on Acast.

The Man Who Slept With 10,000 Men

D Is For Desire is a shameless podcast that explores sex, sexuality, relationships and love from angles you could have never imagined in health class. It’s personal storytelling, conversations with experts and a whole lot of voyeuristic yet vital information.&nbsp;On each episode, host Noah Michelson introduces listeners to individuals who are willing to open up about their longings, predilections and relationships in order to inform others about who they are, what they want, what satisfies them and why it matters — which could have implications for the rest of us. Desire takes many forms, even unexpected ones. And when it comes to sex and love, nothing is “normal,” which means everything, and everyone, is “normal.” <hr> Hosted on Acast.
