This episode is all about exploring + reclaiming your own sexuality with the help of smutty books. Whether that is learning about and trying new kinks, acting out a scene you just read with a partner, or just learning who you are and being okay with what you find - no apologies or justification needed - smutty books have empowered The Smut Sluts, and hopefully they empower you, too!

TW FROM SHANNON: While this episode is all about exploring and reclaiming our sexuality with the help of smutty books, part of that for me has been due to my own experiences with sexual assault (SA) trauma, and the ramifications that trauma has had not only on my sex life, but my life in general. Without going into detail of what happened to me, this episode does get heavy at times, and although my trauma is not the main topic, it is mentioned throughout the entirety of the episode. If you feel this episode is one you need to skip, please feel empowered to do so. If you decide you want to listen, I ask that you do so with kindness, and grace. Should you need them, I have listed some resources below.
