Customer Reviews
Thank you!
I really appreciate all of the care and time put into each concept and episode. The most recent episode about facing fears was such an interesting array of interviewees with different and valuable perspectives and experiences. Have been listening for quite a while. Thanks for all of your hard work!!
Erick Adame
I would like to thank Erick for his bravery.
Talking about this type of thing must be challenging, but I am grateful that he decided to share. His sexual desires are nothing to be ashamed of. The way that this person or persons has violated him by exposing him or outing him is confusing. I can’t understand why anyone would do that. Erick, you will be OK and there are many people in this world who have experienced similar things that will also be OK and they will be better because you talked about it and they could listen.
Hopefully one day, none of us will care of our naked bodies are shown to the world. Hopefully one day, we will not be ashamed of our pleasure.
Thank you, Erick and thank you, death sex, and money for the story
