0:00.0	Hi, this is against everyone with Connor Habit, a weekly podcast featuring my conversations with countercultural figures and presenting complex philosophical, spiritual, and political ideas in engaging, accessible, and fun way.
0:14.5	Each week, I investigate the urgent question of what it means to be human, and with my guests, we envision a better
0:21.9	world of what that would look like. And the guests are people who have some of the biggest
0:27.8	projects of our time, the most rebellious projects of our time, journalists, occultists,
0:32.7	musicians, intellectuals, philosophers, and more. This week, I'm doing a state of sexuality in 2019
0:40.4	as part of my state of blank in January with Dr. Chris Donahue. Dr. Chris Donahue is an author,
0:51.7	most recently of the book Rebel Love.
0:55.0	He's the host of Love Line.
0:57.0	He is a public, sexual, intellectual.
1:00.0	He's a sexologist, and he's awesome.
1:02.0	He's also a very close friend of mine.

1:25.1	tweeted back and said no I'm irreplaceable. Because the guy was confused.
1:28.3	He thought I was hosting bad sex. And after I saw that, after I saw Chris say, I'm irreplaceable, I thought, I got to meet this guy. So we met and we became instant friends. And we've been having this ongoing conversation about sex, sexuality, and politics since we met years ago. In this episode,
1:47.5	we talk about all the things to sort of look out for and think about as far as sexuality and
1:53.5	sex goes in 2019 and what's going on in our current moment. We talk about body shaming and body image and how that plays into politics. We talk about
2:05.0	communicating clearly with your partner. So there's a very practical aspect to the show too. It's not
2:12.0	just an intellectualizing of everything. We talk about the politics of restorative justice when it comes to sexual assault.
2:19.3	How do we deal with sexual assault without just doing what the state does, which is resort to a punitive and causal model?
