Since the term 鈥渉ookup culture鈥� first became part of our collective vocabulary, we鈥檝e been led to believe that casual sex is the standard for young people. But while it鈥檚 true that hooking up might be the norm on some campuses or in certain small communities, this idea of an overarching, large-scale hookup culture doesn鈥檛 appear to exist 鈥� at least not in the way we once thought.

Anita is confused about hook up culture. Is it a thing, and if so, who makes the rules? She talks to a recent college grad about her research on the sex lives of her peers, plus a therapist who shares her take on why it doesn't feel as liberating as we think it should.

She also talks to a couple about what folks should know about sex and relationships postpartum and why the mental health of non-birthing partners should be part of the postpartum conversation.

She explores the history and evolution of the artform with a drag scholar-turned-performer; meets a non-binary drag 'thing' pushing boundaries through performance; and talks with a Durham-based drag artist who speaks out against anti-drag violence.

Anita and her partner John have started talking more openly about how his hearing loss informs their relationship and how they'll continue to navigate that as they age.

Plus, former guest Yat Li returns to talk about deafness, disclosure and disabled identity.
