Former sex-shop worker Brendan Woods joins us for our Valentine's Day special, and steamiest AMA yet to give us a glimpse into what its like selling sex toys for a living, and--spoiler alert!--turns out it is equal parts funny and surprisingly wholesome. We also chat about kinks, BDSM culture, and the sexiness of communication. Could consensual BDSM be the dialectical turn needed in order to resolve interpersonal alienation? Ever prude Aila is skeptical, but hopefully by the end of "The Origin of the Family", her & bohemian Yasha will arrive at a comradely consensus. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/appSupport this podcast: https://anchor.fm/aila-jimenez/support
