I belong to me.</em></p><p><br></p><p>Kristin Warnaca is a sex therapist and a former member of the 2x2s. She joins us for a wide-ranging discussion on sex and relationships: how they are constrained within the 2x2s; the effect that has on former members; and the wide world of pleasure that is waiting for anyone who cares to look.</p><p><br></p><p>This conversation includes Kristin's experiences of being assaulted both as a child and as an adult, so please go gently and slowly with these stories.
