Summary

Joining Florence and Reed in the studio for a special Asexuality Awareness episode is the wonderful Yasmin Benoit. Yasmin is a British fashion model and asexuality activist. She knew she was aromantic-asexual from a young age, but didn’t come out publicly until 2017, when she decided to use her platform to raise awareness and dispel misconceptions about asexuality.Ace Week (founded as Asexual Awareness Week in 2010) is an annual event that puts asexuality in the spotlight. Part celebration of the progress we’ve made as a community, and part campaign for greater understanding and acceptance of asexual-spectrum identities, Ace Week is a time to focus on all things ace. You can find out more about Ace week here.'F**ks Given' with Come Curious presents an honest and candid exploration of their guests’ sexual histories, from the first f**k to the best f**k and even the bad, average and comical ones in between. Each episode is an uncensored look at what’s gone on beneath the sheets with a variety of coveted guests in a bid to break the stigma around sexual histories and specifically the ‘number’ taboo. Presented by Come Curious, change-makers in the sex and body positivity space, 'F**ks Given' aims to open up the conversation around our sexual past, asking us to celebrate all the f**ks you gave because they’re the ones that made you who you are.
