175: Sex Work, Cocaine, Porn and Ozempic in a Neoliberal Culture (Madeline Grace)

About this episode

Maddy Grace discusses the differences between Gen Z and Gen X regarding sexuality, drug use, and societal issues.

This week Maddy Grace returns to talk about all sorts of stuff, mostly focused on Gen Z and the different world they grew up in compared to Gen X oldies like me. We talk cocaine and it's increasing popularity in Gen Z, Cigarettes, sex work, politics, protest, power, and we dive into the current pornscape and its impact on young heterosexual men, who have a very different relationship with their sexuality on the whole than Gen X did.
