Breona is a professional sex therapist and author who lives not far from her hometown of Mt. Vernon, WA: home to the annual tulip festival. Growing up, Breona didn't have many resources to answer her questions about sex. An early investigation to online porn was discovered by her parents and inspired her mother to have The Talk with her, but questions remained about being “in love” and responding to her body's sexual instincts. College provided opportunities to finally dive into the “full menu” of sex, but she eventually realized she wasn't enjoying sex so much as performing it for her partners.  Coming out and finally having conversations about pleasure with her partners inspired her to become a sex therapist and help others discover themselves. One way she's done that is by writing The Clitarus Chronicles, a humorous and educational story about Clitty: an adorable, clitoris-shaped, cartoon dinosaur with the dream to write a novel but needs help figuring out the climax. The book features a meaningful metaphor about prioritizing pleasure and communication with partners and it's illustrated by Fruitbowl's multi-talented editor, Danny Tayara! Learn more about Breona's professional counseling practice at www.colorful-therapy.com.  Breona's story brings us to the conclusion of Fruitbowl's Season 4. I will be taking a hiatus in January to recharge and make a plan for next year's production. We are currently without a sponsor so I will also spend time pitching to potential sponsors.

Listen on Apple Podcasts Listen on Spotify John C. has had an unpredictable professional career and sexual history. He grew up in the deep south with racist family members and neighbors. Sexual experimentation with a friend happened early on, but, later, in college, things got complicated when a coworker raped John after a night of drugs and drinking. Jealous partners during his years as an aerobics instructor and boyfriends who didn't "get" his drag performance were additional obstacles. But through it all, John has maintained his irrepressible spirit and laser sharp humor which he expresses most clearly through his amazing drag persona, Connie. He even talks a little about Connie being a guest on RuPaul's Drag Race.

When I was preparing to record my intro to Zachery's episode, I started to compose a long reflection on the recent tragedy in Colorado Springs where a 22 year old monster with a rife decided to murder 5 innocent people in a gay bar, but every attempt I made trying to articulate my rage and sadness seemed trite and cliché. So I decided to simply dedicate this episode to the victims. Some listeners might wonder why I don't have more famous people on Fruitbowl and the reason is simple: famous people are not very relatable. I prefer to feature stories of everyday people; queer people who have found a way to be themselves and live without apology. Many have escaped abusive homes, parents, communities and found new families who love them for who they are. The saddest part of tragedies like the one in Colorado is reading the obituaries of the people whose lives were cut short by hate and violence.  They are almost always described as caring, compassionate, fun to be around and I have no doubt that is true. They sound like the kind of people I would have loved to interview for Fruitbowl and it breaks my heart that I will never be able to hear their stories. I hope you can honor the lives of those we have lost to anti-queer violence by fiercely living your truth and continuing to love whomever you want to love, regardless of their gender, gender expression, race, income, age, background, culture. That's what queer people before us have fought so hard for and there's really no better way to tick off the bullies - the monsters with rifles and the politicians who encourage them - who try to silence us. And now, back to my regularly scheduled introduction: If you're a kinkster or interested in exploring kink, you're gonna love Zachery's interview. Even though he's only 24, Zachery has explored a wide variety of sexual activities that fall far outside of the definition of “vanilla” and he's had a lot of fun adventures along the way. He also brings with him a background in public health and sexual advocacy as well a stint working at Doghouse Leathers, Seattle's local queer sex shop.  Originally from small town Michigan where he came out to his family and friends at age 16, Zachery came to Washington for academics and exploring his ever-expanding taste for adventurous sex. You might even say he's a sex explorer.  Thanks to our post-production sponsor, the new SPACES app, powered by Hornet!

Fruitbowl's creator and producer, Dave Quantic, provides his first full-length Fruitbowl interview in this “very special” episode hosted by editor Ryan Weadon. Dave's sexual orientation came into focus early on while growing up in small-town, suburban Kansas in the late eighties, but the only place he could meet other queer people was cruising bathrooms and public parks in near-by Wichita. An assault and HIV scare inspired him to come out in college and, eventually, to his family. Since then, he's lived in Dallas, New York City, Los Angeles and Seattle and, along the way, his preferences for negotiating love, sex and friendship have diverged from conventional ideas about relationships. It's only in the last few years that he's figured out what he wants and how he wants to live as a gay man.  Thanks to our post-production sponsor, the new SPACES app, powered by Hornet!

Steven grew up in his “shit-kicking” town of Tucson, AZ and even though it was liberal compared to the rest of the state, he was still a target for bullies because of his lisp and his habit of staring at other guys in the locker room. But summer adventures with his Dad in Ojai, CA taught him that a wondrous queer world waited for him outside of Tucson. Since recording his original Fruitbowl interview in 2019, Steven has gone through some major life events that he talks about in a follow-up conversation with the editor for this episode, Bayley Boecker.

Lizzie grew up in super-liberal Seattle with super-cool, neo-hippie parents who had lots of queer friends and didn't bat an eye when Lizzie let them know that she was … not straight. Lizzie took the lead when it came to her first time with a guy and you'll enjoy hearing about her other adventures with a girl from her gym, an Irish bartender and a French Canadian who swept her off her feet - enough for her to risk being detained by Canadian police at the border. When she was young, Lizzie also had a very special relationship with a water jet at her swimming pool.  Originally recorded in December of 2019, Lizzie's interview covers a lot of ground. Also featured in this episode: a follow-up interview recorded just a few weeks ago with editor Danny Tayara followed by a super-cool song from Lizzie's band, Creature Hole!

Listen on Apple Podcasts  Listen on Spotify Andrew was a self-described baby drag queen when he was little, putting on makeup and heels and performing for his parents. So when he told his mom at age 10 he was gay, her reaction was, “I know.  Do you still wanna go to the mall?” But just because Andrew was out didn't mean adolescence was a walk in the park. A self-described awkward kid, he struggled with ADHD and anxiety. At age 8 he was sexually abused at a theater camp and, in his teens, started acting out by abusing substances. His parents admitted him into a “troubled teen” facility in Utah which was further traumatizing. Originally recorded in 2019, this episode also features a “follow-up” interview recorded just one month ago that finds Andrew in a much more secure place now. Currently, he's proud to work at Nacy Warner Associates, a social justice consulting and advocacy non-profit in Albany, New York.  Andrew is also a gifted musician. This episode features one of his songs, The Man I Am. You can learn more about his music at www.iamsynes.com. Learn more about the recent Monkeypox outbreak via the CDC website.

Gay men had a lot of variables to balance while coming of age in the 70s and 80s: the sexual revolution & liberation, drug culture, AIDS, social stigma and intimacy and Coming out wasn't easy while he was working on Wall Street. Through all of it, Mike tried to stay true to himself while figuring out that, as sexual beings, we are in a constant state of evolution. Later in life, Mike became a leader and activist, sitting on executive boards of many national gay organizations. Now he dedicates himself to educating and learning from younger generations via his popular Instagram account (@bammer47), a YouTube channel and podcast. His hope is that, by engaging with different generations will bring us all closer together. Sounds a lot like what I try to do with Fruitbowl which makes it so amazing that Mike agreed to contribute his history to our archive. I know you'll find a lot to relate to with his story.

Originally from a small town in Georgia, Puddin's coming of age was divided in two. Outwardly, he was a devout Christian of the Pentecostal tradition and aspired to be a church leader and during sermons, homosexuality was always used as an example of the worst kind of sin. Privately, though, he struggled with his sexuality and was the target of abuse by a family member. After his family found out, he tried several different faith-based solutions for “curing” himself and, in the process, met other queer people like him for the first time in his life. A gay friend in college encouraged Puddin' to consider - just maybe - that God didn't hate him for being gay and, eventually, he left the church and moved to a gay commune where he learned how to live off the grid and love himself.

You might assume you don't have much in common with a 71 year old lesbian, but consider these three points: 1. Debra came of age at the dawn of the sexual revolution; 2. She's a legend in the lesbian kink community and has some really fun kink play stories; 3. She is a total badass and a one of a kind human. Growing up in famously liberal Palo Alto, Debra was a precocious young woman, hungry for knowledge but a proposal from a “perfect” boyfriend in her 20s felt premature so she broke his heart and dove into the deep end of California 70s counterculture at UC Santa Cruz. Soon she was exploring the GLBT club and her sexuality was confirmed when she saw a gorgeous woman step off her motorcycle and reveal her long, luscious hair. Since then, it's been one adventure after another: New York, Seattle, LA. And the adventure continues to this day. Debra recently decided to leave LA, move into a van and travel the country visiting friends and making new ones.

In this Getting Fresh episode, Dave welcomes his in-studio guests: the creators of the Seattle-based Gayish podcast, Kyle and Mike and asks them about their podcast's origin and its unique format: unpacking gay stereotypes one episode at a time. Then we listen to a listener-submitted story that describes the writer's first time at an orgy and we discuss our own orgy adventures and our different experiences and expectations when it comes to group sex. Speaking of group sex, the orgy story was narrated by Paul who was featured in Season 3, Episode 5 of Fruitbowl. Paul Rosenberg is a writer, singer, actor and production designer living in Seattle. He is the founder and manager of Rain City Jacks, a nonprofit jack-off club in Seattle, and creator of The Heart of Jacks Podcast, an interview show exploring sexuality with a focus on the history and culture of jack-off clubs.

Kenny is the definition of a survivor. After experiencing abuse by a family member and getting kicked out of the house by his single mom while still in high school, Kenny lived in his car until he decided to move in with his first boyfriend. A move to Chicago for a job seemed like an opportunity to start fresh until he was laid off and had to turn to sex work in order to support himself. But despite all the challenges, he refuses to feel shame about his past and his sexuality. His advice: embrace all the different parts of your queerness: the masculine and the feminine; don't let others dictate who you are and develop friendships with people who show you love.

Lilian grew up in Sedalia Colorado, a small community outside of Denver. Growing up, Lilian was a good little straight boy who judged other kids for having pre-marital sex.

An advocate for sexual liberation, Lilian describes the unique sexual relationships she has with various friends. She also shares intimate details about her gender journey which includes two gender affirming surgeries in an effort to attain the body she has always wanted.

Growing up in a small California town in the late 90s, Drew didn't have any exposure to queer people or culture except for the brief mentions on broadcast sitcoms. NBC's “Must See TV” was a particularly rich source of information. A secret relationship with another guy in his high school confirmed Drew's budding sexuality but it wasn't until college at UC Santa Barbara that he had his first legit boyfriend. Years later, a shocking discovery made him question their relationship but it also provided Drew an opportunity to forgive and move on instead of focusing on anger and regret. Living in LA proved difficult when it came to his insecurities about his body image but a one night stand right before the pandemic provided Drew a new way of thinking about body acceptance and, since then, he's embraced a new version of himself. Drews final advice: 1. Worry less about what other people think and 2. You don't need a six pack to get laid.  Drew has turned his obsession of old sitcoms into his profession. He's the co-host of the podcast “Gayest Episode Ever,” a show that explores the “very special” episodes of old sitcoms that feature queer characters and storylines. He and his co-host Glen discus each episode with deeply researched historical context and industry-insider knowledge. Learn more about it at www.gayestepisodeever.com.

Ari grew up in Milwaukee until age 10 when his family moved to Tucson, AZ. The new environment brought him out of his shell in spite of being raised in a religious family. Raised as a girl, Ari had the most difficulty with his mom when it came to his family's acceptance of his identity first as a lesbian, then as a trans man. Ultimately, Ari had to prioritize his own mental health and happiness over his mom's objections about his “lifestyle.” Eventually, he made his way to Portland, OR where he was able to find gender affirming healthcare and a larger dating pool where he suddenly had his choice of partners to explore different forms of intimacy including penetrative sex and kink play.

Introducing the premiere episode of the Getting Fresh series reboot.

We also touch on Fort Lauderdale's Pig Week and Justin's creative work as a comic creator and film producer. But first, Dave introduces the first listener-submitted story from an old friend, Jason (S1E1). Jason shares a super sexy story about meeting an enthusiastic partner who has a thing for corn fields.

Raised by feminists who had strong opinions about women's rights, pro-choice advocacy and lesbian visibility, Justin knew early on his sexuality wasn't pre-determined. But even in liberal college-town Providence, RI he was a target of less-evolved classmates. When presented with his first opportunity for sex experimentation, he chose the D and hasn't looked back. But ambivalence about masculine tropes and romantic love kept him from finding community with other gay men. It wasn't until he discovered the Hole In The Wall bar in San Francisco that Justin found his tribe and made lasting friendships including his partner of 20 years. Justin has finally given in to his family's tradition of higher education after years as an independent queer comics artist and a brief stint as an adult film performer. He recently finished work as a producer of NO STRAIGHT LINES, an award winning feature documentary about the rich history of queer comic creators. You can check out the trailer HERE.

This episode features a voice that will be familiar with Fruitbowl fans: our very own host with the most, Saira B.! After just a few minutes of listening, you'll soon learn why Saira (who, BTW, uses ALL the pronouns) is the perfect person to represent the amazing diversity of experiences of Fruitbowl interviewees. Raised in Wilmington, Delaware to academic parents who trusted their kid to explore cities like Philly and NYC all by herself, Saira was always informed about his body's different functions including how babies get made by a mom who valued clear communication about the science of the body. As they grew into adolescence, Saira applied this same academic curiosity to her interest in sex and kink and they have some great advice when it comes to exploring BDSM: make sure to inform yourself about the kinds of kink you want to explore, communicate with your partner or partners clearly and don't assume that the top doesn't also need aftercare.  Dave Pezzner is the Assistant Editor & Mixer for this episode.

In April 2022, levy-paying businesses have an excellent opportunity to voice how we should invest AHDB income to help shape the future of farming.   This podcast features views on levy-fund investment – covering the positives and the negatives. Rutland farmer and AHDB Cereals & Oilseeds Sector Chair, Sarah Bell, explains how (after registering online) levy payers can express opinion on the products, tools and services AHDB delivers to industry. Independent agronomist, Patrick Stephenson, discusses how AHDB's information helps him deliver advice to his North Yorkshire clients. Finally, Lincolnshire monitor farmer, Colin Chappell, outlines the financial costs and benefits to his business associated with the levy – including how he feels that knowledge exchange should be at AHDB's heart. Please listen in and encourage levy payers to get involved – the stronger the voice, the better the outcome for industry. To find out more about the process, visit: ahdb.org.uk/shape-the-future

On our final episode of the year we have decided to do a 2021 in review episode, where we will be speaking to three guests about their experiences over the last 12 months, as well as what their predictions are for 2022. Firstly we spoke to independent agronomist Patrick Stephenson to get his view on the challenges farmers and agronomists have had to face in 2021, as well as looking at what changes might happen in the industry over the next few years. Our second guest on this episode is Natalie Wood, arable agronomist for Yara in the UK. Natalie was able to provide an insight into 2021 from the perspective of our FACTS qualified advisers, with the global fertiliser market providing some unique challenges for farmers and advisers, especially in the final few months of the year. Finally we spoke to Hannah Joy, environmental services specialist at Hutchinsons. Hannah explained how the Environmental Land Managements Schemes have developed over the past 12 months, and also highlighted what opportunities will become available to farmers and land owners through these schemes in the years to come. Make sure you listen to the end to find out how to claim one BASIS CPD point via the members' area on the BASIS website.

Adam grew up in what he describes as a “Rated R household.” Prince was an early emissary of carnal pleasure who made a deep impact on Adam as a future professional musician. His parents split when he was 2 but his mom remarried and both his dad and his stepdad represented two different versions of masculinity. But homosexuality was still a taboo subject so Adam had to educate himself through early experimentation with friends and porn. After graduation, instead of coming out, he shut the door on his sexuality and locked it up tight in order to focus on his goal of becoming a concert pianist. But a post-undergrad, cross-country tour of small town America turned into an odyssey of gay sex that concluded with a move to Houston which he describes as “they gayest place” he's ever lived. A much sought-after interpreter of classic piano, Adam currently lives in Brooklyn with his husband and has come to believe that sexual pleasure is just as important to the soul as his artistic pursuit. You can read more about Adam's post-undergrad odyssey in his memoir: 88x50: A Memoir of Sexual Discovery, Modern Music and The United States of America and his follow up, tidepools which is about his first few years as an artist in NYC.

As a first generation Vietnamese-American, Mike felt an obligation to make the most of his opportunities that his immigrant parents fought so hard to provide him. But even though his family was part of a robust Vietnamese community in Sugarland, TX (a suburb of Houston), Mike still felt like an outsider. Unlike most of his friends, he wasn't fluent in Vietnamese and his emerging sexuality only made him feel more separated. Even after leaving for college and coming out to his family, Mike maintained a rigid moral code and was skeptical of other queer people who had more loose definitions of relationships. It wasn't until he lived in New York City that he became friends with other queer people who were in non-traditional partnerships. Now he lives in Seattle with his two boyfriends and most of his friends have very open perspectives when it comes to love, friendship, sex and relationships.

As a kid, Donovan loved to dance and even took lessons beginning at age 9, but growing up in San Diego, he soon realized that the many military bases in the area fueled a toxic culture of masculinity and homophobia and any behavior outside the norm put a target on his back. Once, after seeing a movie, he was called a faggot and assaulted. So even though he had some early experimentation with same sex intimacy, he didn't officially come out until college. Married now and living in Palm Springs, Donovan is in a committed, non-monogamous relationship but, even as an experienced lover, he still has had struggles with consent and standing up for himself. He describes one time when a partner didn't respect his boundaries. Donovan has some great advice when it comes to hook ups, preferring connection over speed and convenience. Kissing and eye contact is sexy and - trust him - don't ever use Vaseline as lube. Dave Pezzner, Assistant Editor & Mixer.

Andre can't remember a time when people thought he was straight. Raised as a girl by an independent single mom who took a “tough love” approach to parenting, Andre grew up with a rich inner life but had few friends. “Lesbean” was the preferred insult in grade school, so Andre made up a fictional boyfriend in order to avoid talking about sex.  Even after entering college and coming out as trans, Andre identified as asexual until he met his first girlfriend when they were the only ones who showed up to a sober vegan pride after party.  It wasn't until he moved to Chicago and lived alone that Andre realized he was free to explore sex on his own terms. He informed himself about kink, explored bathhouses for the first time and his first experience bottoming came from an unexpected guide. Now that he has more experience under his belt, Andre has decided to stop being the token “first trans male experience” for sex partners and has dedicated himself to being a sex-positive advocate for trans rights. Andre is Producing Desire Lines, an expansive portrait of a trans-inclusive gay community across several generations, artfully weaving together never-before seen archival footage, historical fiction, contemporary interviews, and re-enactments. The bathhouse is the central hub of the film, where past and present meet, where fantasies unfold, and where the archives spring to life through historical fiction. The diverse participants share their fantasies and fears about sex, bodies, relationships, and power through intimate conversations shot in their own domestic spaces. The same contemporary interview participants are also invited to write, embody, and perform their own bathhouse-related fantasies in moments that cleave open a space between fiction and reality, emphasizing fantasy as a powerful tool for seeing ourselves else wise.

Dan grew up just north of Seattle and his adolescence was uniquely queer-positive in that it featured supportive parents and plentiful queer friends even in high school. But Dan had his share of challenges including insecurities about sexual performance, penis size and a long journey to discovering his preference for polyamorous relationships. An early education in flirting came courtesy of a friendly dominatrix. And Dan describes some fun role playing as a "boy" with his Daddy and Big Brother partners (who are both younger than he is). Dan also provides a super-detailed, step by step description of his cleaning out process that's his "me" time and allows him to be the best bottom that he can be.  Thanks to the first-ever Fruitbowl sponsor, Scruff Dating App. FRUITBOWL is produced independently and every interview is recorded in-person, on location in each interviewee's home.

Karilla's story, in so many ways, reflects the common stages of personal growth that so many queer people go through: in our early years, insecurity about our sexuality and adults who fail to help guide us; during high school, sitting on the sidelines and watching as our friends perform all the typical hetero coming of age rituals; in college, painful memories about first love and the lessons we learn from heartbreak; and choosing our family and finally accepting and loving ourselves. And did I mention that she's had some really fun hookups? In my introduction to this episode, I talk a little bit about my efforts to interview more female-identified people. It's my hope that, over time, as the FRUITBOWL episode archive grows, more cis women will hear episodes like Karilla's and trust me with their stories. In fact, I'm determined to collect at least 20 interviews with female-identified interviewees before I even think of starting to edit the larger FRUITBOWL feature or TV series.

For those of us who are more, ahem, “mature”, being out and proud during our adolescence was just not an option - especially in Colorado where Ryan spent most of his coming of age years. In his interview, Ryan does a good job of articulating what it's like when your body tells you you're gay before you can even admit it to yourself. Sometimes surprising things can happen when a Tony Little VHS tape is near by. Ryan also describes being a part of Gainer culture and the different ways our bodies can be extensions of erotic desire that are not just about genitals and sexual performance. As promised, here are links to film festivals that will be presenting Dave's FRUITBOWL films this fall. Almost all these fests are providing online streaming.

Nathan's story is, at once, extremely unique and totally relatable in that he comes from an Egyptian-American family but was raised in an insular Christian community in New Jersey where being gay was a red line that was not to be crossed. The youngest of his family with two much-older sisters, Nathan didn't always fit in as the leader of his high school bible club. Fortunately, his best friend, Michelle, was the leader of the school's Straight/Gay Alliance. Years later, Stephen would ask Michelle why she didn't call him out as a closet case in high school. “Because that's what the bullies were saying,” was her brilliant response. Then, she took him to The Cock in downtown New York City and … well you can listen and find out what happened next. BTW, if you want another story from The Cock, you can listen to Adam's episode (S2E3). This interview was recorded in August of 2020 during a very small window in the Pandemic when restrictions were eased temporarily. This trip to Portland was the only excursion I took outside of Seattle during the shutdown.

You'd think living 2 hours from LA would provide plenty of opportunities for a queer kid to explore queer culture; but when you live in a trailer on an abandoned citrus orchard with limited introductions to other people and spotty internet, eighty miles can seem like a million. Nonetheless, Patrick eventually learned about sex and found other queer people, in spite of his mom's objections. A first experience with a mustached stranger from craigslist left a deep impression and, ever since, Patrick has had a taste for sex outside of the formalities of the bedroom. One memorable hook up was atop a 50 ft. waterfall.  Now he lives in Northern Cali and supports himself as an artist and filmmaker. In fact, Patrick is the artist behind FRUITBOWL's delicious season 3 fruit illustrations.

Elliott was raised in Caspar, Wyoming and has packed a lot of living in their 27 years including their own coming out, marriage, divorce, navigating their gender journey as well as figuring out their relationship to their faith, kink and the apps. Elliott also has a lot to say about the act of "squirting" and how to achieve it with a willing partner and also best practices for negotiating intimacy with cis men who might not be experienced with sex with trans people. We also decided that Elliott's very specific best move should be called "The Unicorn." Listen on Spotify Listen on Apple Podcasts Fruitbowl is an official sponsee of Seattle's Northwest Film Forum.

Alex grew up in Huntington, NY on Long Island for the first part of his adolescence and, at first, it almost seemed like a fairy gay-mother was watching out for him: a gay-friendly sex education class; a meaningful introduction to a trans woman; and a promising acknowledgement of gay life from his mom were all early examples of acceptance of gay life. But things with his family soon went south when they moved to Florida and in his early 20s he had to separate from them and make his own way. His first time with a guy came one day on his way back to college and, over the years, he’s had time to do some deep diving when it comes to experimenting with long edging sessions. Alex also has a very specific “best move” that only he can explain but it’s definitely worth taking notes.

Erik came out early to a supportive family and an older sister who was also gay, but it took him a while to find his queer crew: one that honored creativity and alternative options for a gay kid who didn’t necessarily fit into the typical identity of musicals and Madonna. Instead, Prince was an early influence on Erik’s queer life in addition to his musical tastes. An unrequited love in high school proved difficult to shake. Fortunately, Erik’s best friend, a lesbian, convinced him to snap out of it and move on after heartache. In adulthood, Erik learned to abandon the heteronormative, rom-com mode of thinking and learn to let love be love and not try to control it or force it to be something that it’s not.  In addition to being this episode’s interviewee, Erik also provided all the original music cues featured in this episode. Below is a list of all the tracks used in this episode. Find out more at Erik’s bandcamp profile. Big thanks to Erik for letting Fruitbowl use his amazing music to give this episode an extra-special creative identity.  Opener - “Transition #1” from “Music from the film Center of Gravity.” Transition 1 - “Canon #3” from “Canons, Vol.1.” Transition 2&3 - “Canon #4” from “Canons, Vol. 1.” Transition 4 - “Transition #2” from “Music from the film Center of Gravity.” Transition 5&6 - “The Meeting” from “Music from the film Center of Gravity.” Transition 7 - “Shut the Fuck Up” from “Music from the film Center of Gravity.” Transition 8 - “Trains Passing” from “Music from the film Center of Gravity.” Transition 9 - “The Ghost In Our House” from “Music from the film Center of Gravity.” Closing Credits - “Something, Please” from “Canons, Vol. 1” Listen on Spotify Listen on Apple Podcasts Fruitbowl is an official sponsee of Seattle’s Northwest Film Forum.

Shavit was raised on a jewish Moshav in Israel and knew from an early age that he preferred men. When he came of age, his dad took him on a week-long road trip in Europe in order to have “the talk.” The week ended in a Roman hotel room with access to porn. But even though sex wasn't stigmatized in his communal community, being gay was definitely not embraced as an option.  Fortunately, Shavit’s parents shipped him off to Jewish camp in the states every summer during his high school years. This "saved his life" as Shavit describes it. He bought gay porn in Penn station on his way to camp and, once there, no one was older than 25 and there was very little supervision. Soon, he told his girlfriends he was gay and even hooked up with a fellow camper when he returned home to Israel. Once graduated, Shavit moved to NYC and eventually travelled the world and met his first love while on a hike in the Himalayas. Currently, he is dabbling in DIY porn and continues to travel and have sexy adventures including visiting Dore Alley and Seattle's TRC campground (pre-COVID).  Listen on Spotify Listen on Apple Podcasts Fruitbowl is an official sponsee of Seattle’s Northwest Film Forum.

Raised in Connecticut, Tai was often singled out by other kids because of his Chinese heritage. His parents split up when he was young and his mom came out as a lesbian which, predictably, made his own coming out pretty smooth with his mom and her partner but not so easy with his dad. Even though he knew he was gay pretty early on, Tai didn't have sex until college and, once he bottomed for his first boyfriend, he just kept on doing it until later in his 20s when he got the hang of topping. He has some solid advice for what to do to help a bottom make the most of his internal orgasm. Tai advises younger gays to make the most of their sexy times and encourages older gays not to take advantage of them. Also, it's best not to have sex with sketchy guys and, if you’re uncomfortable with how a hook up is going, it's okay to peace out and walk away.

As a gay man who came of age in the 70s, Paul has had a front row seat for the highs of the sexual revolution, the excesses of the 80s as well as the lows of the AIDS crisis.  A self-described “snoop,” Paul discovered a sex manual in his parents bedside nightstand drawer and, as an early bloomer, experimented with masturbation from an early age. After a struggle with addiction, Paul rediscovered the joy and affirmation of masturbation and decided to start his own jack-off club in Seattle after experiencing the meaningful connection to community at Chicago’s JO club. Other juicy subjects include: sex with a frisky high school girlfriend; a discussion about long term relationship and monogamy; and the power of the post-coital cuddle.

I have a deep archive of interviews I am turning into podcast episodes and I'm planning on working hard this year to share them with you. I confess to not knowing what order I will share them. I kind of make it up as I go along. But after finishing the first three for this season, I knew we needed to hear from someone who DIDN'T grow up in a hostile and/or religious fundamentalist environment. But just because Nathan's mom accepted his sexuality from the very beginning - and at a young age - that doesn't mean he hasn't had his share of challenges. One major obstacle Nathan has experienced is his recurring psoriasis and finding partners who can look past the occasional outbreak. Nathan also has some fun thoughts and stories about cruising. Just listening to his past adventures makes me hopeful that, eventually, there will come a time when we can flirt out in the open and meet each other in public and maybe even have sex spontaneously without the fear of a pandemic.

Deaunte grew up on the “souf” end of Seattle and lives just a few minutes away from Rainer Beach High School where he graduated high school. But between now and then he’s lived in Florida, Philly and Washington DC which was the first place he lived where he regularly met black gay doctors, politicians and, most importantly, activists. Since learning of his HIV positive status and surviving a meth addiction, Deaunte has committed giving back to his community by being honest about his journey. But this openness doesn’t always translate into easy relationships. But Deaunte is a survivor.

This week’s featured interview requested an audio-only interview and asked that his real name not be used and with good reason. “Alan” was excommunicated from his family and church and has been fired three different times because of his sexuality. Needless to say, growing up Mormon in places like California’s conservative hotbed of the Inland Empire and rural Idaho has not been easy. But these challenges have made Alan a fighter and a survivor. He now lives in New York City and has the freedom he’s always wanted. He’s even helped create a community of “nudies” who enjoy clothes-free social events.
