Tuck speaks with sex educator and ~sensualist~ Ev’Yan Whitney (they/she). Topics include:

• What sensuality looks like when it’s painful to be in your body
• The superpower of being an asexual sex educator
• Advice for folks worried that transitioning will harm their romantic relationships
• Is it fine to dissociate our way through the pandemic?
• Plus: We’ve been eating apples wrong this whole time?!
