Episode 2: Consent Online and IRL
Like most things, consent is a bit more complicated in practice than it might seem in porn! In this episode we discuss what porn gets wrong about consent, what it tells us about violence in sex, and how to prepare for safe, positive sexual experiences.

Episode 3: One Size Does Not Fit All!
Human sexuality is so diverse, so why does mainstream porn tend to give us one model for heterosexual sex? In this episode we unpack how porn represents different genders, races, sexualities, and body types, and why there's no such thing as "one size fits all" when it comes to sex.
