July 31, 2014 19:17 - 43 minutes - 60.1 MB

In Side B of Episode 11, Sarah Patterson and I discussed the myriad motivations of people in the sex trades. Whether you work on the street or in a dungeon, on camera or in a private room, with your voice or with your body, every sex worker faces staggering stigma against the legitimacy of the labor they do in exchange for the things they need.

10: Ignacio Rivera: Squirting

June 25, 2014 19:05 - 1 hour - 36.9 MB

It's our 10th Episode! There are a hell of a lot of sexual desires that Igancio could explain to us, and we'd eat our hats if they didn't have a story to tell about it that made us weak in the knees. We are really glad we settled on “squirting” because the personal anecdotes they shared sort of made us squirmy and giggly and forget our notes, which is pretty much what you wanted out of this podcast, right? But seriously, folks, what does it mean to talk about “female ejaculation” with someo...
