Summary

No more simply mentioning it in passing: in this week’s episode, we properly dive into capitalism and money, and how they both shape our experiences of sex, relationships, our bodies, and our identities. How does capitalism affect our experience of gender? If we all need money to survive, why is there a stigma around selling sex for money? Do you feel pressure to treat your sexuality as a self-improvement project?

Join me, Hannah Witton, and guests author Sophia K Rosa, writer and editor Franki Cookney, sex worker Lydia Caradonna, and actress and creator of Philosophy Tube Abi Thorn, to investigate how an economic system can intersect with our personal lives.

CW: mentions of transphobia and suicide
