About this listen

 18+ The Intimacy Index is where smart smut meets real talk. We dive into romance, erotica, and spicy fiction—not just to rate the steam, but to explore what these stories teach us about intimacy, desire, and self-empowerment. From trope deep-dives to book reviews, we celebrate the joy of fantasy while unpacking real-world themes like consent, communication, body image, and sexual wellness. Think of it as your shame-free zone: part book club, part sex-ed crash course, and part empowerment pep talk.Chloe and Colby Art Literary History & Criticism

    Episode 2.1: Bite Me (But Ask First): Consent Lessons from Kiss of the Basilisk
    Oct 9 2025

    Welcome back!

    In this episode, we cover Part One of Kiss of the Basilisk by Lindsay Straube. This is a plot spoiler-lite episode, but we do a deep dive into Temperance's growth, sexual empowerment, and her ability to set boundaries.

    We also focus on gender misconceptions in a sexual space, consent and the different ways it may look, and the importance of healthy communication between partners to create a safe/satisfying sexual experience.
