✨What we can expect from Season 2 (no spoilers tho)

✨Alix answers a question from a listener who wonders if they are asexual
✨Depression and libido
✨The spectrum of asexuality
✨Why sexual relationships portrayed in the media might put you off sex
✨Alix shares some thoughts on the complexities surrounding legislation of sex work and why that can't be understood without also looking at the social and economic circumstances surrounding sex work
