Bawdy Storytelling Episode 291: ‘Freaks Need Love, Too’ (Flora Goodthyme)
Can you guess the best makeup remover? Sister of Perpetual Indulgence Flora Goodthyme grew up feeling the pressure of her family’s heteronormative expectations, and struggled with what commitment could look like (some family members were on their sixth marriage, and many cheated). So she moved her single gay ass to San Francisco, discovered the sex-positive, polyamorous world of open relationships and was hooking up happily - until she fell in love. Can Flora commit to just one man? Does a loving home and white picket fence have to preclude sex with multiple partners? I bet you know the answer, doncha?
Song: ‘Gold’ (Trixie Mattel)
About our Storyteller:
Make-up Mark or Sister "Floozy!" Flora Goodthyme has been a fixture in the Sex worker, drag and kink community for many, many years .. As an activist and as an artist Floozy! (As she’s known to her friends) has traveled the world over with colorful stories galore. Flora and her husband Nick now live their white picket fence life together in San Francisco, and spent lots of quality time with their 3rd partner, Ollie.
