01 December 2023 - Sex, Gender, and Sexuality

Today I speak with the one and only Ossiana Tepfenhart, who covered the adult film industry as a journalist and has written on topics from music to politics to sex.  Ossiana and I discuss Lolita fashion, control freaks, and why we should not be embarrassed to appreciate a good orgasm.REFERENCES:Find Ossiana on Substack:  https://ossiana.substack.com/ Find Ossiana on Medium:  https://medium.com/@ossiana.tepfenhart Find The Refugee Newsletter on Substack:  https://therefugee.substack.com/Gender Identity Today:  https://genderidentitytoday.com/(00:00) - Show opening (00:35) - Introducing Ossiana (03:46) - Gender, beauty, and sexuality (09:01) - Unreal social expectations (11:27) - Ami defines gender and sexuality in 10 words or less (14:45) - Sex and gender are more than physical (18:26) - Beauty is not (always) symmetrical (23:26) - Scary sells...really well (29:28) - Sex is not a bad thing (33:42) - Victorian era repression (38:19) - Shame as a means of control (40:50) - Slut-shaming and society (45:00) - Forbidden fruit (48:59) - Abuse at the hands of those not getting any (51:43) - Show closing ★ Support this podcast ★
