About this listen

 Suzannah Weiss, author of Subjectified: Becoming a Sexual Subject joins us to talk about her book and so. much. more. In fact, we had so much to talk about that we are continuing the conversation in the next episode. We discuss some challenging topics, so a warning to those who might want to steer clear of this one or seek out supports, or listen with friends. Sex and neurodivergence start us off but that leads to stories and statistics of sexual coercion, assaults, and how we can begin to shape our own behaviors to stay safer and state needs. There is a lot to unpack about how disability diagnosis can lead to damaging situations. But we also have a lot of quirky fun as we dive into this subject matter! Christy loses her train of thought. Rocco takes us on a tangent. And Suzannah asks some really good questions of our hosts, turning the tangent tables on us! So get ready for a great time with the person we may just make our resident sexologist, and move her on into the studio (aka Christy's guest room) because we are smitten. (Christy is. Christy is smitten. Rocco is happily married, y'all.) Part 1 of 2!
