Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Data Driven Orgasms - with Anna Lee
Q: Do you think sex toys and really getting into them and really geeking out over your orgasms and how you experience pleasure, has that helped you overcome or make sense of that trauma?
100%. I really do think knowledge is pleasure. I think getting to be able to know your body is so powerful.
Decriminalising brothels - with Catherine De Noire
Q: How do you do sex?
I like to try different things. I'm like super open to almost anything.
Decriminalising brothels - with Catherine De Noire
Q: Is it possible for someone just to make no money whatsoever?
It's possible. You can actually be like minors because you need to pay the rent.
Decriminalising brothels - with Catherine De Noire
Q: What are you doing about that? What are you doing towards that to make it better?
I talk about the reality that I can see. I think this is the first step because as far as I know, none of the managers from the industry, at least in Europe, they don't talk about what they do.
Sex education in Iran - with Dr. Sara Nasserzadeh
Q: How do you explore your sexuality in a country where sex and sexuality have strict cultural norms?
It involves a lot of challenges, including limited access to information and navigating societal expectations.
