The new season of the Thirsty Work Podcast is finally here, and the glorious Cadaea (aka Soap) was kind enough to kick us off talking about our industry: Content Creation - it's effects on relationships, parasocial dynamics, and judgements on our relationships within the public eye.

I have known Andy Train for many years.

We have had nonbinary guests on the podcast before, but I had never spoken to them about their journey of gender discovery. And with there being so much confusion around genders outside of Male and Female, I felt it important to ask a nonbinary individual on to discuss it. Fortunately, my dear friend Ser Goldie was happy to join me to discuss their experiences of Gender Discovery and also, how it affected their sex life.

TRIGGER WARNING: Religious Trauma Many moons ago, I approached the wonderful Katie Peters Plays about talking about the differences between sex education in the states vs here in the UK. KPP then unveiled to me that her upbringing was a little different to the average American unbringing... Which naturally intrigued me all the more! Thus, we talked about how KPP learned about sex, the guilt that came with it, and the unexpected physical side effects of that upbringing.

This episode is an emotional journey that talks about Ami growing up in the states with Asian heretage, her exploration of that heretage, and the fetishisation she has experienced. I have known the glorious AmiSometines for many many years. She has always been such an open, enthusiastic, and welcoming individual who I have had a fair few filthy conversations with in the past. Naturally I had to ask her onto Thirsty Work to find out where the core of our conversations all started.

It was a long time coming but we managed to sort it. Behold the amazing episode with RollWithRu.

I came across The Survivors Trust many years ago when I realised that when people think of Rape and Sexual Assault, the survivors are often overlooked in favour of anger against the perpetrator. So I was determined to do something to help those people. I shaved my head for Charity, and we did a charity stream to raise money for them, and in that stream, Fay actually asked if she could come along and be involved. After that, I knew that I had to reach out and ask her to come and share the charity's amazing work on my podcast.

As a Filth Wizard, the one realm of the realms of the various sexuality spectrums that has always fascinated me is that of Asexuality.
