01 December 2023 - Sex, Gender, and Sexuality

Today I speak with the one and only Ossiana Tepfenhart, who covered the adult film industry as a journalist and has written on topics from music to politics to sex.  Ossiana and I discuss Lolita fashion, control freaks, and why we should not be embarrassed to appreciate a good orgasm.
