Tonight I went to a live recording of the Sex Nerd Sandra podcast, which I’ve been a fan of for about two years now. Her guest was the brilliant Erika Moen, author of Dar and her current project, Oh Joy Sex Toy.
Depending on how they edit the episode, you may get to hear my voice as I ask my questions about being sex positive within my work. If they do, you’ll get to hear Erika’s rather surprising answer.
Even if they don’t use my question, I’m sure you’ll hear me laugh. Loudly. A lot. Because that’s what I do.

At this point I believe I have probably worked myself up to some full blown body dysmorphia. Or I should stop self-diagnosing. Either way.
