Good Moms Get Horny, Too with Allison Whaley

Allison Whaley is a polyamorous slut who reads smut, runs her own feminist erotica subscription platform, and parents three small children with her husband...and if you think those things can't possibly coexist, have I got a sexy-yet-wholesome episode for you. I loved talking with Allison. She's the first person I've ever met who reports having had great sex in college and only ever being attracted to stable, well-adjusted people. MY CODEPENDENT HEART YEARNS FOR THIS SUPERPOWER. She also knows firsthand how powerful erotica can be for women in discovering what really turns us on - and how men can learn what women really want by reading the smut they can't get enough of.
