Episode 15: the desire triptych - part 1
19 October 2022 - 35 mins explicitIntroducing: the desire triptych. Inspired by a listener's suggestion, we ask: what role - if any - does gender have to play in attraction? What makes us desire a certain body/bodies if it's not to do with cisnormative gender? What is attraction? Energy, hotness, gender expression? What turns us on? Featuring interviews with three special sexy people. Rob is the star of this episode.
