This week Amy, Payton, Abby & Justina discuss Katherine Angel’s book, Tomorrow Sex Will Be Good Again, and deep dive into the nuances of sex, consent and desire. What kinds of social scripts have we been taught about sex and consent and why are they so dang gendered? Why is the patriarchy always at the scene of the crime? And how does this all shake out when romance and smut books enter the chat? 

Content warning: This episode includes discussion of sexual assault and child sexual abuse.
