Consent, Bad Sex and Vulnerability with Katherine Angel

In this episode, Hannah is joined by Katherine Angel, who is the author of Tomorrow Sex Will Be Good Again: Women and Desire in the Age of Consent. Katherine discusses consent culture and the pressure we put on women to know what we want sexually as a way of protecting us from sexual violence. She and Hannah talk about why bad sex happens and quickly dip into their thoughts on pickup artists. Finally, Hannah and Katherine discuss the social and political landscape of sex and the big V word: vulnerability.
