  • Tedious

    Despite the content and the presenter’s background in the subject, the pace is slow slow slow. The presenter sound like she is reading from a script, the guests are variable in interest and quality, and the episode are generally far too long. Needs production values and editing.

  • Informative, Fun, and Interesting

    The interviews focus on the experience of each guest and uniquely meets them where they are at in their erotic journey. It’s so nice to hear perspectives and about roles that might not resonate with me for play but would love to know more about.
