@joe1920.bsky.social - Are you familiar with Mel Robbins already? This brought up a lot for me around sides, the acceptance we naturally want and also the issue of viewing the Top/Bottom folks as “other.” “Let Them” goes both ways.
Discovered this on the NYT podcast, Modern Love. I’m immediately engaged. This reflects my longstanding belief that Americans live in a broken model of personal responsibility, that too many of us have no concept of our role in the circumstances of our lives.

The Heart of Jacks Podcast started in 2020, during the pandemic. From the start, I wanted episodes to be “evergreen,” not stuck in time, so they’d stay relevant.

Sex at Dawn was transformative for how I think about sexuality, both my species’ and my own. It’s one of the most influential books of my life.
Almost 15 years after its publication, I still think everyone should read and study it. It’s an antidote to the poison of moral disinformation.
