The hidden history of female sexual pleasure
6/7/202648 min
How did women in the past experience sex and pleasure? Kate Lister reveals that this is a rather complicated question. Instead of simply lying back and thinking of England, women have long fought for their right to pleasure. But at the same time, women's sexual experiences have also been bound up in cultures of shame and control since antiquity. Speaking to Charlotte Vosper, Kate introduces us to these histories. Please note that this episode contains a very frank and open discussion of sex and sexuality, and strong language throughout.

Getting dressed in the summer is somewhat a challenge for me. I find it's much easier to feel put together in the layers that fall and winter afford, but it can be difficult to find outfits that I both feel good in and look good in as it heats up outside. Finding high-quality pieces with particular fabrics, uh, linen has personally become my favorite, I think is the way to go to building a summer wardrobe that I feel good about, and that's why I keep coming back to Quince. They focus on these high-quality essentials like breathable linen, soft organic cotton, washable silk, but all without the luxury markup. Their 100% European linen pants, dresses, and tops start at just $32, and let me tell you, I have about three pairs of their linen pants in different colors and styles. They are wide leg, really comfortable. They have this patch pocket style that I really like, as well as a drawstring, and they're so lightweight and breathable, but they still look really put together, which I find is, is a tough balance with summer clothes. Plus, it's not just clothing. Quince has really become a destination for elevated essentials across home, kitchen, bedding, and beyond. So it's easy to bring a more premium feel to everyday life.
