Ride It Good: Aventuras desde el Último
by lasiguamonta
La Siguamonta, a young sexual provocateur living in Mexico City, navigates the cruising scene in the subway’s last wagon. Hatred and bitterness towards the terrible public transport can blossom into naughtiness, rascality and mischief. He hopes to become a goodwill ambassador of el Último Vagón, a cruising spot that has been fading as pinkwashing has normalized gay erotism in the city and as gapps have gained presence. Less Grindr, more Último Vagón is one of La Siguamonta’s sayings. Listen more about his sexcapades and sexnanigans while discussing topics close to the chilango gay subculture!

2.3 A Dama do Lotaçao (1978)
Este episodio rinde honor a quienes invierten papeles y son putas en la calle y santas en la cama, a quienes se rehusan a ser las buenas víctimas de la progresitud, cuya moral se nutre del resentimiento y amargura (nunca de la picardía ni la alegría) y cuyo cauce natural tiene como consecuencia...
