Whore Rapport

This is one of those big issue episodes we couldn’t wait on any longer. The conversation includes a discussion of the Lewinsky-Clinton scandal; egalitarian versus Western, patriarchal understandings of power; cultural perceptions of the penis; and masculine versus feminine expressions of power.

We’re back with part two of this round of listener Qs & As. This time we answer questions about what happens when you find yourself attracted to someone unexpected; the implications and assumptions around degradation in sexual relationships and the importance of context when addressing and exploring them; as well as, age gaps in romantic partnerships. Erin also learns a thing or two about ‘stroking’ fires.

This is part one of a two part Q&A that begins with a Billie Eilish update. From there we discuss modesty and the challenges that arise around expression, discretion, and embodiment. We also answer a multi-part question about casual sex -- for starters, what is it? -- that includes some thoughts on the differences between ‘slut’ and ‘w***e,’ as well as the role of intimacy in sexual connection.

Ten episodes deep seemed like the perfect opportunity to revisit what it means to be a w***e, and more specifically, what it means to have "w***e rapport". We touch on the etymology; the madonna-w***e dichotomy; and why reclaiming the word ‘w***e’ feels so aligned. We also read an excerpt from a book about whoring… firsts.

This week’s episode is a reflection on sexual preference, inspired by a listener question. We talk about the ways in which preferences and fantasies evolve, and how this evolution is not only rooted in experience, but also tends to be quite context specific. We also get into the power of vulnerability and curiosity.

Our first part two! This time around we discuss compliments; sexual embodiment in its various forms; the compartmentalization of intellect and physical appearance, and what it takes to integrate the two. We also don’t forget to talk about shaving.

Part one of what we’ve determined will be a two part episode on the body and how we relate to it. We discuss the projections we put on -- and cultivate within -- our bodies, the havoc that can wreak, as well as the lessons that can emerge from it. We also dabble in clothes competition (it’s real), makeup, piercings, and tattoos.

We’re back (and things have gotten real weird)! In this episode we reflect on the current state of things, internally and externally. We discuss what it's like to be non-monogamous in a monogamous time, the current rules of physical engagement, and phone sex. There’s a fair bit of phone sex.
