Commonly used in sexual healing practices and ritual, what's the problem with sexual archetypes based on the 'universal' concepts of men and women? What's the opposite of depersonalizing sex? In this Artgasm Quickie, Allison discusses a concept and critique that opens Angela Carter's classic sexual philosophy text The Sadeian Woman.

Burlesque performer and producer, Laika Fox digs into the the business and politics of burlesque and what it means to use stripping as a means of explorating the politicization of the body.

Do you have to make stuff to matter? Do you have to provide value to deserve to live? Allison gets personal on this special productivity-focused solo episode of Artgasm.

Illustrator Felix D'eon shares his love of storybook aesthetics, representing queer love through erotic and tender depictions, and his commitment to cultural and historical accuracy in representing LGBTQ stories around the globe.

Malta has some of the most remarkable Neolithic artifacts including what many refer to as "goddess" figures. But what do these figures actually represent? What were they for? And how do our modern sensibilities skew understanding of ancient cultures?

Artgasm is back! Kick of season 2 with erotica writer/editor Rachel Kramer Bussel. We talk about the power of listening to smut while shoulder-to-shoulder with strangers AND how filthy fiction can expand your mind.

This Artgasm Quickie is inspired by a recent dust-up I had over on the book of faces. I talk about what sex positivity is, where it came from, what it's for, and why so many people misunderstand it.

As always, I welcome your thoughts in the comments!
