We’re finally doing it — an episode dedicated to all things demisexuality! Understanding demisexuality was the lightbulb I needed in fully understanding myself and how/why my attraction has looked like the way it has. I always felt … weird. Different.

One of the most common things I get asked by you all is how I’m really doing post / during my divorce, and I get it.

If ther…

Did I ever think I’d have a former partner, a queer platonic partner and a platonic life partner together for an in depth conversation around all things queerness? If you had told me a few years ago, I would have been like hell no. I didn’t even know platonic partnership could be a thing back then. AND to have former partners of mine want to partic…

This is my fifth pride out as a queer person, and I would be lying if I said that I haven’t felt at a loss on how to being to find queer community.

It’s a whirlwind of unpacking comp het, going through …

CW: sexual assault, harassment “Something is wrong with me.” Words I used to think and say out loud all the damn time when I wasn’t feeling turned on enough or when I felt pain during sex or when I started having sex with vulva owners and had no idea what the fuck I was doing. If only I’d known about how trauma and living in a culture rooted in the…

If you are new to these incredible humans, Jase…

Is hierarchy in relationships ethical? A very important question that folks in non monogamous and monogamous relationships alike have been asking and unpacking and holy balls, do we have a lot to say about this subject.

How the f*ck do we even begin to feel at home in our queerness, let alone cultivate queer community when we’re starting to come out and own our sexuality? When I first came out four years ago (this month!), I felt SO damn confused. And SO damn alone. And, to be honest, I often still struggle to feel connected to my queerness beyond my individual se…

We all have scars. The physical ones that we see, and all of the ones that are there that we can’t. But we feel them. We know them.

Confused AF about what kind of relationship model you actually want because all you’ve ever been taught is monogamy or bust?
