Gender Identity Weekly

Today's episode features Artemisia de Vine's theory of sexual fantasy.  Artemisia is a sexual fantasy expert, sexologist and author who uses fantasy not as a source of shame and guilt, but as the key to unlocking our deepest motivations and desires.  Artemisia and I discuss prevailing theories of sexual fantasy, the three paradoxes we seek to rectify through sex, and the origin of airborne penetration of pastry products.
