Hoping It Would Change Afterwards Podcast: This is a conversational podcast exploring my essay Hoping It Would Change Afterwards from the book Ghosts of Sex. In the podcast we discuss the quiet relocation of hope into the future after disappointment has already been felt, the fantasy that intimacy will deepen with time and repetition, and the subtle bargains we make with ourselves to keep a connection open. We explore how unmet needs are deferred rather than named, how sex can become a place where change is expected to arrive later, and how the belief in an eventual shift allows us to remain inside situations that feel quietly insufficient.
