Pathologically Honest

Gareth was only 14 when he had sex for the first time, with a client. It was the late 1970s, and in Sydney’s King’s Cross, Gareth was entering a world of sex, secrecy and danger while living a double life and still in school. Decades later, Gareth is an incredible artist, and we're talking about the hidden worlds he was involved in, as well as the powerful lessons and experiences he's had since.From the men he encountered to the realities of working in the Cross, Gareth shares a side of Australian history that rarely makes it into the conversation.Get amongst it:Instagram: @pathologicallyhonest TikTok: @pathologicallyhonestYouTube: Pathologically Honest Georgia: @god_worthy on all the thingsGareth: @gareth_ernstGareth's art: https://garethernst.com/Want to get Pathologically EVEN MORE Honest?Join us on Patreon for bonus unfiltered episodes, exclusive content, behind-the-scenes spirals, and community chats.

Angus has friendships, a fulfilled life, and plenty to say about the world. But when it comes to intimacy, there's a barrier many able-bodied people never have to think about.In this episode, Angus opens up about accessing sex work, the heartbreak that led him there, and the relationship he's built through hiring a sex worker, who affectionately calls herself his “professional girlfriend”.For Angus, this isn't just about sex. It's about intimacy, connection, having something to look forward to, and experiencing a part of life that can be much harder to access when you're a person with a disability.We talk about the assumptions people make about people with disabilities, why Angus shouldn't have to justify wanting intimacy, and the financial barriers that come with having to pay for something many people take for granted.Full episode transcript here Watch the full episode including live captions hereGet amongst it:Instagram: @pathologicallyhonest TikTok: @pathologicallyhonestYouTube: Pathologically Honest Georgia: @god_worthy on all the thingsTouching Base:@touchingbaseinc on Instagramhttps://www.touchingbase.org/Want to get Pathologically EVEN MORE Honest?Join us on Patreon for bonus unfiltered episodes, exclusive content, behind-the-scenes spirals, and community chats.

At 43, Melanie had never been kissed by a man.She had spent most of her life believing that women with disabilities weren’t supposed to be sexual, desirable or in relationships. Then one conversation with a support worker opened a door she didn’t even know existed. Melanie hired a sex worker.What followed completely changed her relationship with her body, intimacy, confidence and desire. She made a fantasy list, learnt what she liked, discovered that she could be desired, and eventually realised she wanted something she never thought was possible for her.Get amongst it:Instagram: @pathologicallyhonest TikTok: @pathologicallyhonestYouTube: Pathologically Honest Georgia: @god_worthy on all the thingsTouching Base:@touchingbaseinc on Instagramhttps://www.touchingbase.org/Want to get Pathologically EVEN MORE Honest?Join us on Patreon for bonus unfiltered episodes, exclusive content, behind-the-scenes spirals, and community chats.

No one talks about what it’s actually like to go into a psychiatric ward. We're inviting you behind the curtain.What happens when you walk through the doors? What does it feel like? Who are you surrounded by? And what happens when you leave?For another solo ep, Georgia unpacks the truth about what it's really like in a psychiatric hospital. The more we talk about this stuff, the less frightening and shameful it becomes. Sometimes talking about the thing you’re most afraid to say out loud is part of what helps you survive it.*Content warning: This episode discusses extreme mental health crisis scenarios.SHOWNOTES:SUPPORT RESOURCES:Emergency & Crisis SupportIf you or someone you know is in immediate danger, please call 000.Lifeline Australia: Call 13 11 14 for crisis supportBeyond Blue Support Service: Call 1300 22 4636 or visit Beyond Blue for online chat and mental health resourcesheadspace: For young people aged 12 to 25.
