Whore Rapport
by Anya Kaats
Whore Rapport isn’t just another sex podcast. On this show we seek to expose a version of sexuality that is healthy, strong, and aware. We delve deep into topics such as gender, orientation, intimacy, and power without pathologizing desire, victimizing femininity, or demonizing masculinity. Come with us, as we explore nuance, intention, eroticism, and fantasy without shame or apology. Let's turn on the lights, pull back the covers, and talk about what we see. whorerapport.substack.com
