  • “Sublime” is right on the nose.

    Discovered this podcast via a friend. As a pleasure activist, erotinaut, therapist, student of love, and curious seeker of Truth, Authenticity and Vulnerability, I have to say this podcast is beautifully insightful, gentle, refreshing in its matter-of-factness towards matters of the heart *and* other body parts, and just plain elegant in its approach. Karen Yates is, well, sublime and so graceful as she brings herself fully to the journey, both illuminating and illuminated. Highly recommended!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Zachary Zane is a BOYSLUT! [Rebroadcast]
Q: What advice would you give to someone married to a cis woman who has bisexual inclinations?
When coming out to your partner, make it clear that your sexuality doesn't change your relationship; you're sharing this to be transparent and trusted.
“Naked” truth with memoirist Fancy Feast
Q: What has been your experience with body positivity and fat liberation?
Body positivity as a movement has been co-opted by corporate interests and doesn't address systemic issues, while fat liberation is a more radical and empowering approach that advocates for systemic change.
“Naked” truth with memoirist Fancy Feast
Q: Can you explain the difference between burlesque and stripping?
Burlesque is often seen as creative and theatrical, while stripping is generally more focused on titillation. However, both share historical roots and can express similar artistic intentions.
“Naked” truth with memoirist Fancy Feast
Q: What got you hooked on being a burlesque artist?
It was the combination of theater, sexuality, storytelling, and breaking rules, allowing me to entertain people and express myself creatively.
Pride: more love, more openess
Q: Can you please tell the story of outsmarting your conversion therapist?
I researched conversion therapy techniques and learned to tell my therapist exactly what he wanted to hear, ultimately fooling him into thinking I had made significant progress while actually being true to myself.
