This episode of Social Intercourse features sexuality educator & repro justice champion Ren Grabert. Ren, Theo, and Sarah discuss how sexuality education & information don't receive enough attention in the medical community and some ways that we can all work to change the culture. We also dive into a rarely-discussed part of being a sex positive person - how "queer platonic" and other non-sexual, non-romantic relationships provide lifelong, love-sustaining connections for us.
