About this episode
Jess Zakira Wise discusses her journey in organizing inclusive sex parties focused on communication and respect.
Jess Zakira Wise knew she wanted to experiment with group sex, but as she got into the scene she struggled to find a sex party where she felt comfortable. She kept finding spaces that were male-dominated and heteronormative, things she was trying to escape from. So, Jess started to organize her own parties.
