9. A Conversation with My Brother

How were you talked to about sex and dating!? My older brother (Johnathan Schrale) and I discuss our experiences growing up in the same household - with a shared mom but different dads. We cover lots of subjects from masculinity and gendered expectations, to body issues and the multiple ways we would try to get our crush’s attention on MSN Messenger in the early 2000s. (CW: Uncomfortable/unwanted sexual situations, mental health issues such as depression and anxiety, addiction [ex. alcoholism], eating disorders, and body dysmorphia.)
