Welcome back to season two! Horizontal is the podcast that makes private conversations public, or, to paraphrase listener ghostheart, the podcast that “takes you into my bed and lets your ears watch as I unzip intimate conversations.” It is recorded while the opposite of vertical, wearing robes. In this episode, I lie down with my sweet friend Fiona. Fiona is an architecture student, a first generation Nuyorican, a bisexual woman, and one of the most deliciously sensual humans I’ve ever known. At the time of this recording, she was giving erotic massage at a Tantric Temple, which is where she headed right after we finished. I was in a bit of a state when she left, and for months afterwards, she was a bit worried about me, and regretted having to run off before we came to a natural close. She wanted to meet up again to enact, or record, a more ceremonious ending, and we have gotten together to debrief. But since this was the way it happened, I left the recording like this. It feels complete to me. In the second half of our episode, we discuss the slut protocols, bicuriosity, a breakup, sexual sobriety … and … I make an erotic confession. Or two. Possibly three. If you enjoy lying down with us, become a patron of the horizontal arts! Patreon, the website that gives artists a platform to crowdsource income, can make it possible for a modern day broadcaster-golightly, such as myself, to make independent, uncensored, and, to this day, ad-free work. For five dollars a month I’ll add you to my secret FB group, where I post behind-the-scenes photos and curate the most fascinating articles about love, sex, and relationships. There are lots of other perks as well, like free tickets to live horizontal storytelling shows, where you can lie down with us in person. For now you can lie down with us … in your mind.

Every week, I’m reading one 5-star review in the episode to thank my loyal listeners. This one is from vajrasattva108: “I believe in truth telling. I believe in the liberating power of demystification. I believe in the end of taboo. I believe in public vulnerability as an act that gives others permission to own their stories, too. What Lila has done here is create a space for exactly that. And it’s awesome.” Now that … is the opposite of vertical. |
