Safeword
Hosted by sex therapists Casey Tanner and Kamil Lewis, Safeword is sex therapy, unhinged! Because instead of being a blankslate that’s just here to support you, we are telling you the details on our own sex lives, relationships, identities and more. Each week we tackle a theme related to sex, gender, and relationships. Safeword is produced by The Expansive Group and launched following the success of @queersextherapy on Instagram and TikTok.
