Episode #4: The Goonies and One-Eyed Willy’s Treasure: A Metaphor for our Search for Healthy Sexuality

 

We are going on an adventure in search of healthy sexuality, and conquering the societal booby traps that keep us away from embodiment, autonomy, and pleasure! Join hosts Suzy and Krista as they discuss the impediments we all face in our sexual development while centering the conversation around the unique challenges faced by fat folks. This episode is a great place to start on your own quest to become a sexually whole adult. If you like what you hear, consider writing a review and sharing it with others.

We would also like to acknowledge that we realized in post-production that there is significant anti-fat bias in how one of the characters is portrayed and treated within the film. The character “Chunk” is classic fat-as-funny fat representation. By centering this episode around this movie, we want to make sure to acknowledge that we are not condoning this type of fat representation and hope for better from filmmakers in the future.
