Artgasm

Allison sits down with her good friend Dixie De La Tour to tell stories of accidental swinging, being really into feet, and wondering how many drugs are too many drugs. They also talk about how details make a story feel real, how to talk about filthy stuff without alienating an audience, and the subtle art of smutty storytelling.
