Episode 26: Decolonising Sexual Pleasure with Toya Ricci

This episode we dive into the history of pleasure. Toya Ricci is working on her pHD on this topic and took me on a journey to the 1920’s blues era, ancient Hawaiian culture, and even the Amazon. Pleasure has been around a long time, and we could argue changed during the colonisation process. But what have we learned from history to implement change in the present? Toya takes a pleasure led approach to her findings.
