E58 Dying for Sex (Part 2 of 2) "I told you we were going to cry this episode."

Welcome to the second half of our discussion on the Hulu dramedy, Dying for Sex.  In this episode, we get into the details about Molly’s sexual escapades as well as the other important relationships that balance out her life, especially with her friend and caretaker Nikki. Content warning: Dying for Sex deals with terminal illness and trauma related to sexual assault. Because these themes are so woven into the show, we won’t be able to provide specific time codes for when they come up in our own discussion, but wanted to make sure you know going in. What's Sparking Joy this episode: Twin and Like Jennie by Jennie, Saving Flowers by Rina Sawayama and saluteEpisode was recorded April 20th, 2025Show Notes:Support us on Ko-Fi: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://ko-fi.com/sexlovelitpodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠Listen to our Joy Sparked: SLL Song Recs playlist: ⁠⁠⁠https://open.spotify.com/playlist/50MNBI1kYKdJgxh8CzEJF1?si=d9df62854c684557⁠⁠⁠Alumna Q&A: Mgbechi Ugonna Erondu: https://alumni.medicine.uiowa.edu/news/2025/04/alumna-qa-mgbechi-ugonna-erondu-17mdOther lit mentioned this episode: Hit the Spot (Fanta G Spot), A Fault in Our StarsOn Future SLL Episodes: Trope Spotlight: Forced Proximity, Frieren: Beyond Journey's EndDon't forget to subscribe to Sex.
