She has an unedited play about sex magic saved to her laptop, which has been enjoyed by several lovers, and a great idea for a book, which she is taking her time to process feelings around. They enjoy wild swimming, wild sex and Wild Nights by Emily Dickinson.
In this episode we discuss classic lesbian u-hauls, orgasming too easily, fibromyalgia, exploring your gender identity during the relative seclusion of lockdown, and why emotional intelligence is vital when it comes to making space for others during sex.
