A listener messaged me on Instagram telling me he gets turned on men by with small dicks. After speaking to him briefly, I was fascinated. I'm in an industry that absolutely idolizes men with huge dicks and sells them to their audience. There are sites that exist dedicated to men with small dicks, micro penis, etc... They exist however they are mostly humiliation or cuckold websites where a scene partner points, makes fun and degrades the subject. Here's Matt, a listener who had an encounter with man who kept telling him he had the smallest dick. When Matt didn't believe it could be that small, the man got fully hard, dropped his pants and showed him. In that moment something changed in Matt and he's been fantasizing about men wth small dicks since.  How small?  Listen and find out.

It's been a while since Betsy, the female gay porn fan helped us get a woman's perspective of gay porn on season one of the podcast.  I recently received an email from Christina, a fellow enthusiast in which she proclaimed her love for gay  porn.  So naturally, I wanted to hear all about it. Oh, but that's not all!Christina is an extremely sex positive, confident tax attorney who also happens to be a highly functional autistic person. She further shattered so many preconceived ideas I had about women and porn. During our conversation she discusses finding erotica which then led to porn and finally gay porn. She then describes what it was like growing up hiding erotic novels from her Baptist mother, who wanted to raise Christian soldiers. We also talk how normalizing sex through honest conversation and education will allow people to connect and  will inevitably save the world. Gosh, this was a fun episode!  I hope you enjoy. 

For the second season of the podcast, Dillon Diaz and I had a great conversation via zoom but I knew the minute I could be in the same town with him, I would want to have a face to face meeting and sit down. On this episode, Dillon and I discuss how the porn world has been for him since full-on production has resumed, the various different studios he has been working with as well as more aggressively pursuing his fan site pages. Then, we are fortunate to be joined by porn model Jake Waters, who Dillon recently met and fell in love with . If you follow their social media, watching their relationship development from afar has been beautiful.  Jake describes how he started in the industry and that fateful day he met Dillon on set.  From there we discuss the fun and difficulties of being in the same industry and watching your partner have sex with someone else.  Lastly, since recording this episode, Dillon and Jake have become engaged! Congrats to them both, enjoy!

I met Chris at an event last February called SizeCon, a celebration of size-fans worldwide. What are size-fans or size enthusiasts? Last season I had a few conversations about the subject with content creators.
