Episode notes

May: My mom sat me down when I was about five or six and she had diagrams of sex. She told me there's no Santa Claus in the same conversation. And she just sort of demystified all of life in one sitting. May: They never assumed that I was straight, me or my brother, who is ostensibly straight,. It was just because it is crazy that we just assume it is.

1. Mae, Glennon, Abby, and Amanda each explore their sexuality by delving into what sexually attracts each of them.

2. The sex-positive way Mae’s parents taught them about sex – and orgasm(!) – and how they never made assumptions about Mae's sexuality.

3. Gender as creative expression and a way to have fun.

4. Simple ways to switch up the monotony of routine; to transform boredom into exploration; and dopamine-infused alternatives for addictive personality types.

5. How fear of abandonment / fear of dependence can take over our lives.
