  • 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.
