In this bonus-length episode, our guest, Sarin recounts their experiences with sex in their personal and professional life. As a SHAC (School Health Advisory Council) Certified sex educator and political activist, Sarin works to teach people of all ages about sexual liberation, female masturbation, and sexual health, and as a former sex worker, they describe their experience with sex work as a means of sustenance, a source of confidence, and an important step on their path to personal self-discovery. They recall their relationship with their own sexuality, and how they have transformed since being emancipated as a teenager, to leaving their partner of 5 years and discovering their queer identity. Segment from Maya Angelou's live reading of "Still I Rise" sourced from Literature Today UK's video on Youtube. This will be the last full-length episode of 2018.
