This week, we get our sexy on! After months of traumatic news, we decide to spend some time aligning with what makes us feel good about ourselves. We start by looking at the disappearance of Craigslist personal ads and ask what that means for one’s search for sexiness and closeness, specifically for queer identities. We then share some of our personal remedies for maintaining that sexy feeling and explore how music can enhance the autoerotic. We jam out to some of our favorite song of seduction from K.D. Lang to Beyoncé to Cardi B. and explain what about them make us feel our best.
