People with disabilities can be hot! People with disabilities can be sexy! And people with disabilities DESERVE PLEASURE! In this episode, we breakdown disability and pleasure with the amazing Andrew Gurza -- and their conversation with DB takes some twists and turns that are so real, they're going to strike a chord whether or not you're disabled yourself. And don't forget: anyone can become disabled. You never know if or when this conversation might hit even closer to home.

ANDREW GURZA'S FAVORITE SEX TOYS
FREE STI TESTING AND REMINDERS!
STIs are
way more common than most people realize (over 2.2 million reported
in 2024). And when it comes to notifying partners, the stress and
awkwardness can be real. That’s where KISS comes in -- the
anonymous STI notification app that helps you track hookups, alert
partners, and manage your sexual health without ever sharing your
personal info. No shame. No awkward DMs. Just smarter, stigma-free
sexual health care.
You can
set free testing + medication reminders, and if you upgrade to
Premium, you’ll get a full breakdown of your encounters, partners,
and activities (yes, it’s basically Spotify Wrapped for your sex
life). Protecting yourself -- and others -- shouldn’t be
complicated.
