Sex Gets Real 147: Fat sex with “Curvy Girl Sex” author Elle Chase

Elle Chase is back, which delights me to no end (though, I’m wrong in the episode – Kate McCombs was the first repeat guest!). I adore this chat despite some audio issues, because we get so personal – sharing sex stories and awkward moments and keeping sex so very real, especially for folks who are […]
