This week we're doing something a little different- we compiled heartbreaking and heartwarming coming out stories from Coyote Fawn, Allie Oops, and many more. 

Segilola Eleyinju Ege was an immensely popular Nigerian prostitute who wrote what is considered by many to be the first Yoruba novel,"The Life History of Me Segilola Endowed with Fascinating Eyes, the Sweetheart of a Thousand and One Men". Between 1929 & 1930, Segilola published tales from her exciting life as a monthly column in the Lagos Herald.

This is part one of a two part series based on Saheed Aderinto's scholarly book, "When Sex Threatened The State; Illicit Sexuality, Nationalism, and Politics in Colonial Nigeria 1900-1958".

Six years before writing and starring in Rocky, Sylvester Stallone was the lead in a soft core porn film originally titled 'Party at Kitty and Stud's', which was re-released and renamed 'The Italian Stallion' after Stallone became famous. 

Bettie Page, one of the most iconic pin-ups and bondage models of the twentieth century, had an on-and-off again relationship with evangelical christianity. While her involvement with the church led her to become 'reformed', she never repented her nude modeling days, believing that that since Adam and Eve were created naked in the Garden of Eden, then God probably didn't have too much of an issue with nudity. 

This week begins a series on "reformed whores," people who publicly campaigned to prevent others from entering the sex trade. Kaytlin breaks down the context that brought together two powerhouse icons of the "porn wars."  Feminist intellectual Andrea Dworkin and Linda Lovelace who starred in the 1972 blockbuster success that thrust porn into the mainstream, Deep Throat. 

Kaytlin talks about losing the NY12 Democratic Primary and next steps in the fight for sex worker rights. She talks about substituting "the electorate" for her parents approval and chasing numbers to feel alive.

She also talks about the "end" of #SurvivorsAgainstSESTA and asks her listeners to get in this fight if they aren't already. Shout out to Survived and Punished, SWOP Behind Bars, Support (Ho)se, Democratic Socialists of America, GLITS & all the old pros who wrote letters to voters-we made a difference. 

Kaytlin and "whore of all trades" and activist Tai dive into the life of bisexual legend Julie D'Aubigny, who fought, fucked & sang her way through 17th century France. An expert fencer and opera signer, D'Aubigny seduced aristocratic men and women, did some grave robbing, and burned a nunnery.
