The Prince of Play Feat. Micheal Hollice
Who said adults can't also play? This week, Erica and Milah are joined by Michael Hollice, founder of The Play, the largest ethical play party on the West Coast, to talk all things sexual health, testing, and why playing as an adult doesn’t have to be taboo. The three chat about what it means to explore pleasure with honesty, curiosity, and consent at the center. From destigmatizing STI testing (seriously, just pee in the cup) to navigating ethical non-monogamy and threesomes that don’t end in tears (or texts from your ex), this episode is a real one.
