Listen "Embracing Your Full Humanity with Pepper Kat"
Episode Synopsis
This week, I chat with Pepper Kat about Western society's difficulty in embracing physicality and sexuality. Pepper is an adult entertainer and podcaster who founded Design Your Dreamgirl to provide a space for all people to explore their desires with no judgment. Pepper and I discuss the spectrum of sexual fantasy, how shaming intimacy is the worst form of control, and why Sigmund Freud should probably be retired.REFERENCES:Pepper Kat’s website: https://www.pepperkat.com/Spicy Spectrum Podcast: https://www.pepperkat.com/heartfelt-perspectivesFollow Pepper on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@_pepper_kat_Follow Pepper on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/pepperkat.bsky.socialFollow Pepper on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/peppertheblackkat/Follow Pepper on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100091550276924Follow Pepper on X: https://x.com/BlackKatPepper(00:00) - Opening credits
