Bawdy Storytelling Episode 288: ‘Momsexual’ (Tracy Clark-Flory)
Holy Baby Bump, talk about the best sex of your life! In this week’s story, journalist, essayist, and author Tracy Clark-Flory is eight months pregnant and the bigger her belly grows, the more distant she feels from her usual spank bank cravings. Should impending motherhood change her fantasies? In search of answers, Tracy interviews a whip wielding/childbearing dominatrix, a lactating cam model, and others who find being with child a powerful proposition. Her research - and a permanently plugged in Magic Wand - provide a new perspective on raging hormones, body image, and desire. #KnockedUp
Song: ‘Dirty Little Secret’ (Jefferson Bergey)

She is a former senior staff writer at Jezebel and Salon.
