2 - Myths and Realities

Genuine poly couple, Sebastian and Claire, take you through a close and critical reading of The Ethical Slut, by Janet W. Hardy and Dossie Easton. In this unabridged episode we dive into the details of Chapter Two: Myths and Realities. Both in Boston, Claire still can't pronounce 'Dossie', and Sebastian comments on being queer. Some spoilers on Parks and Rec, American Horror Story, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Magicians, Orange is the New Black, and House of Cards.  Show Notes: For more on Victorian Porn, the seminal original work on this was done by Henry Spencer Ashbee, whose enclyclopedia of sex is digitized by Oxford University, and can be found here.
