    9: "People With Disabilities Have Sex. Surprise!"
    May 7 2021
     AKA: "Holy Cow!"
    Artist, advocate, sex researcher, circus performer, and so much more, April Hubbard is back for another fascinating discussion with our hosts Kelsey, Emma, and Truelee, and this time they're talking about sex and disability! 

    This episode's conversation ranges from the hilarious (funny sex injuries, buying lube at the farm supply shop) to the touching (literally, in the case of touch starvation) to the frightful (medical "advice" that may be upsetting to some listeners).
