Palpitating Tentacular Desire

Nat and Nino discuss Xenogenesis—Octavia Butler’s three-book series about alien invasion, human resistance and survival, alien-human family-making, tentacle sex, colonization, third genders, and so much more. Our conversation focuses on consent and compromise, and we’re joined in the first half of this episode by kink practitioner, performer and astrologer E. Wray, who talks with us about consent in kink and the erotics of power.
