It is really exciting to be back and providing the sex positive content that we all need. I am going to be doing things a little bit differently this time. These first few episodes will be coming straight from my Patreon. They are early access videos for my patrons turned into podcast episodes. After the first three or so, which I have already recorded, the episodes will be slightly more raw and unedited.

Hello Everyone! Thanks for checking out the first episode of Sex, Here & Now! I wanted to note a few things for you, the listener: 1) Those are birds chirping in the background at the beginning of the recording. Still trying to work out some things. 2) This is a shorter episode. I wanted to start putting content out ASAP. 3) Most episodes will be around 30 minutes in length once I get the hang of things.  I hope you enjoy! Feel free to message me on my social media for any questions you may have regarding the topic.
